Cheerson CX10 nano quadcopter, great little, very impressive, really good flight characteristics, fast agile, great to fly indoors or outdoors. Charging time is approx 30min, flight control is about 30-40m . I have 2 of these and for the price you just can't beat it for value, a great first flyer or something to play with on rainy days. Check out this great review. Mod: Video removed, please do not link to videos with affiliate links.
They are both very good nano quadcopters, the cx10 is a little quicker and a faster yaw rate. The Syma is bigger so a little more stable to fly if you are a beginner. But both are very cool
can you do a deal on the CX10C the headless version?
I want to get a quad for my son, and a headless version will certainly be a lot easier for him.
Thanks :)
The CX10A is only on preorder at the moment, but when it comes into stock Gearbest will have a really good deal.
At the moment they have it on presale http://www.gearbest.com/rc-quadcopters/pp_134597.html if you use the code CX10A it is US$16.99 delivered
I just placed an order - signed up because there was a banner ad saying "$50 of vouchers" and the email didn't have a code, but referred to entering the code so I'd get it? Confusing.
Anyway after ordering I did a search (stupid, should have done this before) and there's a lot of bad feedback about this website. Have others had good or bad experiences?
At least I paid via paypal, so if they don't deliver I can try to get my money back :\
I have ordered from them and found them to be fine, they are like any other overseas store, you just need to be patient that's what I have found. PayPal helps a lot too, just a bit of added security.
Cool we shall see how it goes, thanks.
BTW did you order the CX10 and what colour?
@Spindoctor: Two - Orange and Blue
Edit: Geez I didn't even use the coupon from here, oh well a few extra $$.
Thanks Spindoctor, ordered a green and an orange one.
Had to create an account to use the coupon (not sure if it can be added via Paypal) - the validation email link didn't work, but a quick live-chat and explanation of the problem and they activated the account for me.
Hopefully you will get your orange one as they are now out of stock, green, pink, and blue are ok
How can you tell the orange are out of stock? If that's the case I might send them a message to change it for a blue.
When I talked to Larry on their live chat he said orange was the only one out of stock. If I was you just get on their live chat , give them your order no and ask. You might have been a lucky one. Very easy to change if it is out of stock, just use live help
@Spindoctor: I logged an order support ticket last night saying to change to blue if the orange is out of stock. Just got a response saying they've changed the colour.
Is this mode 1 or mode 2?
It should be mode2,
damn. here in australia most people fly mode 1.
It is up to your own personal preference, I have everything mode 2, but mode1 or mode2 make no difference to me I can fly with both.
But not everyone. I fly mode 2, so I'm happy :)
@Thrift:
Nothing wrong with mode 2. Just that they really should state it on the website.
Banggood lets you select which mode you want.
It's a pity that the unique email address created specifically for use with GearBest is now receiving spam from rosewe.com (offering "the lastest street style dresses ,coats, boots &more.") - this despite GearBest's privacy policy stating they 'absolutely do not disclose any information to outside parties'.
What do you mean? Which address?
I used a unique email address that identifies GearBest when I created an account (as I do for other account creations and competitions). The identifier is not something that would be reasonably randomly guessed and has only been used for my GearBest account.
Three weeks later, I received spam from rosewe.com to this GearBest-specific email address:

Looking through GearBest's and Rosewe's websites and domain whois records, there does not seem to be a direct link between the two. Shanghai-based Rosewe somehow got this unique three-week-old email address into their email address database.
difference between the 10 and 10a ?
The cx10 is just your normal quad and the cx10a is headless, which means know matter what way the quad is pointing when flying if you pull back on the Tx it will come back to you.
cheers looks like great fun .. shame the 10A is out of stock :(
You could try Tinydeal.com and see if the code besttoy works for a cx10A.
Ordered 27 Dec, arrived today.
How does this compare to the Syma x12, that was previously posted for gearbest?
