Cheerwing CW10 Mini Drone for Kids WiFi FPV Drone with Camera, RC Drone Gift Toy for Boys and Girls with Auto Hovering, Voice Control

I've bought several variations of remote-controlled mini quadcopters, and this particular "Mini Drone" is the best I've flown.Recently, most drones have begun using the same commodity controllers, chips, cameras, and batteries, resulting in a marketplace of drones that share the same features, and differ only in form factor. As an example of this, the Cheerwing CW10 Mini Drone shares the same feature-set and controller as the udiR/C Piglet U36W Mini Drone, which has a dramatically different form factor. However, the Cheerwing is MUCH sturdier, and flies much better. Compare that to the Piglet, whose rear plastic fan guard and leg broke within five minutes of me flying it.As soon as I started up the Cheerwing, I was utterly impressed at how well the altitude stabilization and heading orientation worked. This is the first such drone that actually performs as well as its advertising suggests. The sturdy form factor really impressed me as well; the fan guards do a great job at protecting people and objects from the spinning blades, and I suspect that the shape of this drone assists in aerodynamic stability, resulting in a smoother flight. I can't state enough that ALL drones really should have 360-degree fan guards, because even the half-dollar-sized micro drones can inflict damage with their exposed, fast-spinning blades.Even if I utterly trash this drone by accident, the first thing I'm going to do is hop onto Amazon and order another one right away.

This Mini Drone is awesome! 🛸 Bought it as a gift for my grabdson, and he loves it. It’s easy to control, even for beginners, and the camera gives cool views through the app. The WiFi connection works well, and the drone itself is pretty sturdy—it’s taken a few crashes and still works like a charm. Plus, it’s the perfect size for indoor or outdoor flying. If you’re looking for a fun, affordable drone for kids (or even adults), this one’s a solid pick! Highly recommend!

Last week I purchased three drones: the Holy Stone HS210, Cheerwing CW10 and REDPAWZ H36 for my son’s birthday party. I’ll post this same review on all three as I thought it would be helpful to be able compare each of these. This was for a group of 10 year old kids, so I was looking for easy to fly, durable drones that could survive a bunch of kids who are not expert drone flyers. This was also for indoor flight only. Each had their own strengths and weakness:Holy Stone HS 210: Was the most stable and easy to fly. The kids were able to keep this in the air and a few of them even figured out how to do tricks. The extra batteries that came with my order were key and this drone was in the air the longest of all three with a couple pit stops to change out the battery. On the downside, this was the slowest of the 3 drones. We also had a couple controller sync issues – but we did have multiple drones going at the same time and it seemed to re-connect quickly. I suspect this could be as much user error as anything.Cheerwing CW10: This was very close in stability and control to the HS 210. It was also a bit more responsive and quicker to navigate around than the HS210. This is the only drone of the 3 with a camera. Please note for this review we didn’t test out the camera function, although it looks like it has high potential. I’ll update this review if I have more to add. The biggest drawback to this drone is the built-in battery. It’s flight time was similar to the others, but since I couldn’t change out the batteries these were the first to be out of service.REDPAWZ H36: This was the fastest, but also most difficult to control drone. Just getting this to stay in the air was a challenge and most times it bounced from ceiling to floor. I could see this being a good drone for those who have more experience and/or time to master this drone. It also had removeable batteries and came with one spare. The kids actually enjoyed the ‘bonkers’ nature of this drone. However, if you are looking for easy control and low learning curve, I would recommend one of the other two.Overall: The controllers all seemed pretty uniform and intuitive for each. All three seemed very durable and none failed due to crashes. The only one that had some minor issues was the Redpawz. It had a prop come loose and was easily pushed back on. Of course, the Redpawz also took the worst beating of the three.I was impressed with each of them. If you are looking for longer, stable flight for an inexperienced flyer, I’d highly recommend the HS 210. The Cheerwing’s camera function makes it an interesting consideration if you want to try that function (again we did not) – it is certainly a good drone without it and only limited by the built-in battery. I’d probably not recommend the Redpawz – but worth to note at the time of purchase this was about 20% cheaper than the other two. I might give it a try for older kids, but I’m sure there are other options to evaluate in that category.Hope this was helpful!

The Battery life is short on a full charge. Had connectivity issues with the 3 Drones I purchased. Had issues keeping the devices paired to the controller. You’d fly for a few seconds, and it would stop. One USB charger stopped working. Light on device remained green, not charging Drone. When they did work the Drones were awesome and my boys loved them. They were upset I had to return them.

Got this as a Christmas gift for my 12 year old nephew. It's easy to set up and pretty quick to charge. Using the drone is super easy. It's stability is great and responds really well to the remote. You can download an app to gain full use of the camera. Range for the drone is decent given it's a small indoor drone. You can fly it on one level of the house utilizing the camera while sitting on another. Now the biggest down side of the drone is the battery life. The drone come with 3 battery packs, each pack only storing a measly 5-6 min of flight time. Truly disappointing given all it's other great features. The second you get it up off the ground it's going to need to be recharged. You can buy the same size rechargeable batteries on Amazon that can store more power. But you really shouldn't have to buy after market parts just to get something to work.
