Camera

On board the Cheerson CX-10WD-TX quadrocopter, a 0.3MP camera is installed that takes both photos and videos in a resolution of 640 × 480p. The quality of the original photo / video material is good (subject to good lighting). Thanks to the real-time image output from the drone’s camera to any gadget via Wi-Fi, it became possible to fly it in FPV glasses, which is a significant plus of this model.

Battery

The Cheerson CX-10WD-TX quadcopter is equipped with a 3.7V 150mAh LiPo battery. Flight time on a fully charged battery is 4-5 minutes. Full battery charging time from 20-30 minutes.

Remote Control

The 4-channel Cheerson CX-10WD-TX remote control deserves special attention. As already noted, the transmitter itself serves as a box for storing the drone. The peculiarity of this remote control is that it allows the pilot to change the location of the sticks, or rather the distance between them due to the transformation of the remote control itself, and as a result, it has become more convenient to control the quadrocopter. The remote control also has a holder for installing a gadget running on OS IOS / Android, which in turn will display a photo / video picture from the drone’s camera in real time. Confidently keeps in touch with the drone at a distance of up to 25 meters. Operates at a frequency of 2.4GHz. The remote control is powered by two AAA batteries.
