When it comes to the design of the Cheerson CX-17, it is designed in a good manner and is perfectly suit for the beginners and aerial photographers who like to take photos, record videos in an efficient manner. The 6-axis design makes the gyroscope adjustable which in turn it promotes flying stability.

You must be thinking, a cheap and tiny drone like this will make a lousy camera? On the contrary, the camera specification of Cheerson CX-17 is surprisingly good. You will have a lot of fun filming and taking photos with its 0.3-megapixel camera, which takes OK photos and videos. You will surely enjoy being able to take photos from a high altitude at such cheap rates, and is also great for beginner drone looking to polish their aerial photography skills.

The time duration of its flight also highly depends on on the conditions and type of flying. When you use the camera to record videos, you can anticipate the flight time to be around 3-4 minutes.

Features:

One feature that really surprised us was the inclusion of a camera in such a small and inexpensive remote controlled helicopter. We found its image quality wasn’t really very good, but who cares? In a drone like this, the camera is more of a novelty feature anyway – probably not intended for legitimate filming anyway. We thought it was a fun feature.
