Seven actual copters under $ 20 that you can put in your pocket

Today I want to talk about the 2015 trend - microcopters. Last year, many of us flew on these frisky insects, gaining the first piloting experience and of course breaking our first copters on the ceiling, walls and interior items. Today I will show where this industry has moved and what has entered the market. Some companies managed to release several versions of their microcopter already, and someone even managed to add a camera to them.

1. Cheerson CX-10C - the first micro quadrocopter with a camera $ 20.89 *


image

Its predecessor, “the smallest quadrocopter in the world,” made a good name for Cheerson and, in general, nothing has changed in the new model. The same flight characteristics, the same size, but a camera appeared. Shooting from it will certainly be a shame to upload to YouTube, but for entertainment and games in the secret mission of a special agent - it’s suitable.

Main characteristics
Flight time: 2.5 - 4 minutes
Charging time: 25 minutes
Range: about 15 - 30 meters
Camera: 0.3MP
Speed: 3 modes (low / medium / fastest)

For those who are interested in video quality



2. Cheerson CX-10A - Microcopter with Headless Mode $ 14.92 *


image

A distinctive feature of this copter is the “headless” mode, that is, with certain manipulations, the copter can be turned on in a mode where you can spin in the air as much as you like, then press “back” and it will fly not to where its butt is, but to the owner. The function is very useful and effective, it creates the impression that the pilot drives expertly. :)

Main characteristics
Flight time: about 5 minutes
Charging time: 30 minutes
Range: about 20 meters
Speed: 3 modes (low / medium / fastest)
Size: 40 x 40 x 22mm
Weight: about 12 grams.

3. Floureon FX-10 - a copter that lives in its remote control $ 15.65 *


image

At the moment, this quadrocopter is the smallest in the world, its weight is only 8 grams, and together with the equipment only 97 grams. And besides this - he also has the very “headless” regime, which I talked about a little higher. And of course, like most small quadrocopters - he knows how to do flips (somersaults) in all directions.

Main characteristics
Flight time: about 5-6 minutes
Charging time: 50 ~ 60 minutes
Range: about 25 meters
Speed: 3 modes (low / medium / fastest)
Size: 22 x 22 x 19mm
Weight: 8 grams.

ps Although in order to fly so well on such a small quadrocopter, you need a lot of takes and hundreds of hours of training.


4. Fayee FY805 Mini Hexacopter - remote control hexacopter $ 16.55 *


image

The main feature of this hexacopter is, of course, its compactness and 6 screws, which ensure smooth flight even of a small copter. Of the functions stand out "headless" mode and the ability to twist flips.

Main characteristics
Flight time: about 5 minutes
Charging time: 40 minutes
Range: about 20-30 meters

5. MJX X901 Mini - a quality hexacopter from MJX for $ 16.90 *


image

We already wrote about the MJX X901 in October, and from that moment it has not become less interesting. The recognizable shape, good quality of plastic, flight stability, the presence of speed and flip control functions make this hexacopter really interesting.

Main characteristics
Flight time: about 5 minutes
Charging time: 40 minutes
Range: about 150 meters
Size: 86 x 86 x 20mm
Weight: 20 grams

6. SYMA X12S - steady microcopter - $ 21.99 *


image

This copter was the continuation of SYMA X12, which already pleased us with its stability and quality of materials, which is typical for syma copters. There are not many changes in the new model, mainly tuning of the previous model, for example, LED lights were put in the right place.

Main characteristics
Flight time: about 6-8 minutes
Charging time: 50-60 minutes
Range: about 20 meters
Size: 77 x 27 x 77 mm
Weight: 15 grams

Night flight tests



7. WLtoys Q272 - mini hexacopter for $ 12.09 *


image

WLtoys is a well-known company on the market, and this time they released a hexacopter, very reminiscent of the MJX X901. True, this company has always relied on lower prices to the detriment of quality. I did not have the opportunity to touch this mini copter, but taking into account past models - I am 99% sure that the quality of the materials will be worse than that of MJX. But if you just want to fly a little and it is not so important how the copter looks close, you can buy WLtoys, because its price is more interesting.

Main characteristics:
Flight time: about 4 minutes
Charging time: 35-50 minutes
Range: about 20 meters
Size: 74 x 83 x 21mm
