The DEERC D20 Mini Drone has been a fun and exciting addition to our family’s collection of remote control toys. Here’s why I’ve given it a solid four stars:
1. Great for Kids: As a gift for my son, this mini drone has been a hit. It’s easy to operate, and the included features like altitude hold, headless mode, and one-key start make it perfect for beginners. It’s provided hours of entertainment for my son and his friends.
2. Impressive Camera: The 720P HD FPV camera is a nice addition. While it won’t rival professional drones, it captures decent photos and videos for a toy drone. My son enjoys recording his adventures and sharing them with family and friends.
3. Two Batteries: The inclusion of two batteries is a thoughtful touch. It extends the flying time, allowing for more uninterrupted fun. It’s a practical feature that ensures the drone doesn’t sit idle while waiting for the battery to recharge.
4. Durability: The drone has held up well, even after a few crashes and rough landings. It seems to be built to withstand some wear and tear, which is essential for a kid’s toy.
5. Speed Adjustment: The option to adjust the speed settings is a plus. It allows beginners to start slow and gradually increase the speed as they become more comfortable with flying the drone. It’s a great way to build confidence.
However, there are a couple of minor drawbacks that prevented me from giving it a perfect score:
1. Short Flight Time: Like many toy drones, the flight time per battery is relatively short. It would be even better if it could stay in the air a bit longer.
2. Limited Range: The control range could be more generous. It’s sometimes a bit restrictive, especially when my son wants to explore larger areas.
Had this drone for over a year as a beginner and have only used it outside. Best on a calm day given it’s small size but surprisingly capable. It has also withstood several big crashes!
Decent enough range of about 50m and handy auto land button for when you get nervous! Camera is basic but fun to learn with and it does produce reasonable images.
Very good starter drone.
Really good product, fast delivery and top customer service and aftercare
I ordered this and another drone from a different site for my Grandsons birthday. The one from the other site was 150. This one works way better than the more expensive one I purchased. He absolutely loves it. He said it is the best drone he has ever had, and he has had several more expensive ones. The video quality is amazing, it was super easy to set up, and the battery lasts forever. He plays with this one almost daily. He has made so many videos already. This is a great buy for any guy in your life young or older. Highly recommend.
My son got his drone for his birthday. We had some slight issues while flying. When i contacted Deerc direct they were brilliant! Quick to respond and the issue was rectified quickly. Thanks Deerc really appriciate what you did
Nice little compact starter drone for anyone out there app very useful and have a nice tutorial
I bought this Drone as a birthday present for my nephew he loves it. Only 1 problem batteries do not last long enough. Can spare batteries be bought separately for the drone
Could hardly use this outdoors as the slightest breeze would carry it off. If you need something for outdoors, then pay more money for something better.
Works fine indoors.
I bought it to play with and see if I like drones, It’s very hard to control in any wind as it’s so light and no GPS to keep it self stabilising. but at this price that’s not really what the drone is for.
It flys very well though on a windless day and I tend to use this to excersise my dogs who won’t leave it alone and chase it until the batterys give up (about 20 mins in total)
It’s pretty easy to fly in the house as well (I havent bothered fitting the blade guards).
The camera isn’t great, and it can be hard to fly the drone and watch your phone screen at the same time to make sure the camera is pointing at what you want, but with a little practice I’ve managed to get a few photos.
For the money it’s a great toy. So much so that I’ve now purchased a HS720 (which is made by the same company) check out my review of that if you can’t decide whether to send a bit more and get more features.
The drone is far from perfect as the camera is one you have to manually adjust so if you think you are going to create wonderful videos with it you won’t.
It struggles a little in wind but that is to be expected as even the DJI equivalent would struggle IMO.
If you just want a cheap camera drone with not so many bells and whistles then this would do its job.
The app is a bit spotty but it still works well enough.
Update: 6-Dec-22
The customer service was brilliant. They sent me a replacement charging cable and a spare battery which I received today.
Happy customer again….
Just waved bye to drone no 2 which flew over a fence n carried on not responding to remote altho I paired it properly and treble checked n checked
Goodbye Drone
I’ve no idea why but it looked as though one of the motors wasn’t going as fast as the others, returned and waiting refund.
Going to add this to review.
After a couple of days I received an email from the company who sell these and they were very apologetic and courteous about it all, they sent another drone and extra batteries at no cost to myself, well impressed with that, they have been in contact throughout and have sorted everything out first class,
What can I say but very very happy
This is a an amazing little drone, it flies well especially when it’s paired, gyros calibrated & trimmed as per instructions.
Unfortunately one of the motors failed on one of the two drones I purchased but when I chatted to Deerc, they asked a couple of questions to eliminate obvious problems & then sent a new drone that arrived two days later.
Incredible customer service.
Highly recommend these drones.
The drone comes with 2 batteries and usb chargers and some prop guards which will come in handy.
The instructions are easy to follow. I think it is most suited to indoor flying due to its weight but will work fine outside in perfect conditions.
It has 3 speeds, and is very responsive to the controller input.
Good image quality.
Ideal for children around 10/12+, and adults who want to see what drone flying is all about.
A very good value for money.
First flight around the house I managed to bounce most walls down stairs and trimmed some of the plants on the windowsill! The misses seemed very impressed! Move to the outside it seemed to be a little better , not some many walls to bounce off! Next flight out in the field! Started so well, doing a bit of testing of controls all working well enough, then up up and a way to try and get a picture of the village. Oh dear, poor little drone went high and got blown away and I couldn’t bring it back! So I had to press the kill switch and drop it! Then go find it, which took some doing, just at the point of giving up I found it, with NO damage! Awesome!
A few more sessions and things start to improve.
Hints and tips for this drone:
1 – Learn indoors using slow speed setting and headless mode.
2 – Put the rotor guards on when indoors.
3 – When flying outside, use full speed mode, then you’ll have a chance of beating the a slight breeze.
4 – When flying outdoors, head up wind, just in cace it all starts going wrong, it’ll get blown towards you!
Conclusion: I wanted to love this, but after a rough start I got very grumpy with it and really didn’t like it! But after a good amount playing and learning how to get the best of it, yes back to loving it!
Yes its no pro level drone, but for the money your getting a great amount of tech and it can take a tumble without getting damaged. Plus it comes with 2 batteries and 2 chargers. Awesome! So in short, if your will to spend a little time to learning its awesome fun indoors and out!
Great drone for a beginner, doesn’t have a lot of features but for the price, good value for money.
Initial trimming (getting it to fly straight etc) takes a little work so make sure you start off with plenty of space so you can trim it without issues. Once done, works well. Also, comes with 2 batteries which is unusual but very much appreciated!
It’s very tiny, fitting in the palm of your hand, and black in colour, so not easy to see in the dark, especially because the lights aren’t very powerful. I even struggled to find it when it landed in a bush right in front of me!
3 of the propeller guards came off after hitting walls or bushes whilst boy was learning to fly it and were never found, it would be better if it came with a lot of those as replacements.
It would also be better in a brighter colour so it could be found more easily.
Also, if it had an emergency light or beep on it for when it’s lost, if you pushed a button or something to enable it to be retrieved when you’re near.
He was very disappointed as that was his main present gone forever.
The build quality is great for something at this price point. The drone is very light weight but doesn’t feel flimsy. The legs snap nicely into place when folded and unfolded and the prop guards provide an extra bit of protection when you’re just starting out. The controller is solid and fits nicely in the hand while the accompanying app provides access to any features that don’t have a corresponding physical button.
It comes with two batteries that should easily give you 20 minutes of fly time.
This is a perfect introduction to the world of drones. It’s inexpensive, can put up with being knocked around, and is a lot of fun to fly. Highly recommended.
Sooooo cheap, one touch take off and land works well, headless great for kids learning to fly.
Altitude control quite good, no need to constantly adjust height
Super light at about 70g and classed as a toy so no need ( in the UK) for a flyer/operator registration with the CAA.
App is good, easy to control on phone, though wouldn’t trust over anything over short range. haven’t used tap fly or voice control.
Cons
I got a replacement as the first one had issues with the camera, refunded/replacement received within a day
Camera quality is poor so not suitable for family photos etc
Don’t try FPV as the lag is pretty poor
Being so light is also a con as any wind will impact stability, more suited for indoors, if using outside up the speed to 2/3
Can’t get gesture to work
Guards only protect side impact
Edit, in the end 2 faulty drones, motors seems faulty causing unstable flight. Upgraded to a Tello then DJI Mini SE. Folks spend the extra money and just get the DJI!
