C10 Triple-Camera Drone, Foldable

A foldable three-camera drone with four-way obstacle avoidance and WiFi live view. The C10 points a landscape lens, a vertical lens and an auxiliary lens from one tilting camera block, streams a live view to your phone over WiFi, and uses four-way obstacle sensing plus an optical-flow sensor underneath to hold steady while you frame the shot. It is built for beginners who want more than one angle without a gimbal-drone price.

Key specs

• Flight time: about 10 minutes per battery
• Battery: 1800 mAh modular battery that slides out for quick swaps
• Control range: about 330 ft (100 m)
• Live view: 2.4 GHz WiFi to the phone app, with the phone clipped to the remote
• Obstacle avoidance: sensors in four directions, toggled from the remote

• Size: folded 13.5 x 8.5 x 7 cm (about 5.3 x 3.3 x 2.8 in); unfolded 26 x 26 x 7 cm (about 10.2 x 10.2 x 2.8 in)

Three cameras, three kinds of shot

The front camera block holds three lenses, and you tilt it up or down from the remote while flying. Use it level for wide landscape shots, switch to the vertical lens for phone-shaped portrait video, or tilt it down for overhead shots looking straight at the ground. The supplier rates the lens at a 120-degree wide angle with 90 degrees of tilt. The app adds filters, a beauty mode and digital zoom, which crops the image, so detail drops as you zoom in.

Easy for a first drone

• One-key takeoff and landing, and a long press for an emergency stop
• Headless mode, so pushing the stick forward always moves the drone away from you, whichever way it faces
• Long press for one-key return toward the takeoff point
• Speed settings and one-press calibration on the remote
• App modes: draw a flight path on screen, gesture photo and video, and 360-degree flips
• LED lights on the body make it easier to see which way it is facing

In the box

The C10 drone, a remote control with a phone holder, a flight battery, a USB charging cable, spare propellers, four propeller guards and a screwdriver for fitting the guards. Ships in black; some photos show the grey and carbon-fiber finishes the same drone is also made in.

Before you fly in the US

The FAA requires every recreational flyer to pass the free TRUST safety test, fly at or below 400 ft and keep the drone in sight. Any drone weighing 250 g or more must also be registered with the FAA, so weigh the C10 with its battery fitted before your first flight. With about 10 minutes per battery, a second battery and the propeller guards are worth having while you learn.

Ships free from a US warehouse on orders over $99, with most US deliveries in 5 to 7 business days and 30-day returns.
