By far the best tutorial video on the Deerc D10. I had problems getting phone to connect to camera. You are to only guy to suggest switching on Airplane mode. All fine now. Your video gave me the confidence to give the drone some distance, it really flies well and returns. Many thanks.😃
I treated myself to this drone for Xmas. Thank you for uploading this vid. Very clear and it helped me a lot. You didn't waffle like others. I bought an extra battery. So now I have 3 batteries, all charged.
@B4U GO I'm from the UK. Waffle in the UK means talking too much about crap and never getting to the point. I hope you keep making vids like these, people do watch them, no matter how old it is. Actually, can I ask a question, please? It's probably an easy one I should know. If I have the drone facing me (the camera is facing me), is it possible to make the control that if I move the right stick to the left, then the drone also moves to the left, if I move the stick to the right, then it moves to the right?? Because at the moment, I have to do the opposite. Thank you.
I just ordered one from amazon, I wanted to get a drone to play around and it was your review to give this one a try. Very nice and informative review, I love the step by step tutorial on how to connect it to my phone. Thanks again for taking the time for this review.
Thanks for the video demo. My daughter and husband bought this for me for Christmas. It’s my first ever drone! You’re right about it not for indoor use. It’s still tricky for a 50+ year old to start out on. I’ll keep you posted on how it goes. Thanks again!!
Awesome, I gave mine to a Missionary in Chichicastenango, Guatemala. He loves it as much as I did Be sure and start low and slow and make a pre-start check list. Happy Holidays!
This video has been so useful. Got this Drone for Christmas but just with weather i haven’t had a chance to use it until today. The manual just confused me, but this video helped so much! Thank you and great tips! :)
Awesome video, I just got this drone for Christmas and haven’t had much time flying it due to the cold weather. After watching your video it will sure help my flying skills and learning this drone. Thanks
Great video. It's December 31st, 2022. Just followed your steps to connect the Drone and went into the backyard and everything worked great. Never owned a Drone so this was my maiden voyage this morning. It was surprisingly really easy to operate. Controls are responsive and you can feather your landing down. I took off from my Hot Tub lid and landing back down on it without problems. I'm use to an Xbox remote so operating the joysticks was 2nd nature. Overall really happy. Only odd thing I noticed was that my video record button on the remote doesn't seem to engage the video recording feature. I had to press the video record button on the APP to engage it. No real problem there but something of note. Fully intend to bring this on my next vacation to Mexico and get some aerial shots of me and my friends on the beach.
Got this drone for myself today. It's a really fun flier!! I noticed a rattling kind of sound when I'm maneuvering, like banking a turn or if a bit of wind comes up. I'm wondering if anybody else experienced this. Otherwise, a ton of fun to fly!! Nice review!
@@darncodemonkey the rattling sound is just the sound this drone makes. I got a replacement from Amazon at the time and it did the same thing. I have had the opportunity to open up one of the arms to get at the gears and motors to clean out some debris. It's quite serviceable!! I have flown the heck out of this drone since I got it and love it!!
@@b4ugo it is a sound unique to this drone...not the brushed motors. I think it has to do with the flex in the arms. It is noticeable when banking a turn or changing direction which will put some stress on the arms. It isn't a problem since the drone has countless hours of trouble free flying. It just sounded like something wasn't right when I first got it.
Just got gifted this for my birthday. Great tips before I try flying tomorrow as weather good here in UK for once tomorrow. The reset always after crash or mishap ois gold dust tip. Subbed
I had mine for a couple of years, I tried playing with it when I got it, but never though about the app, thanks for the video, I learned a lot, you'd is a good practice drone.
Thank you for this very well explained video, I’m new subscriber, new in the drone community (beginner) and I just purchased this model because of this review!!!!
Just bought one!! Your info was very useful! Not being a video games fanatic...controlling well... WILL take ME some time!! Got my 'Flyer ID'...so will practice in some good open space...!! With my 'Observer'...naturally...!!!
The problem with it and others like the D20 are weight. Now you'd generally think, "WTH does a drone need extra weight for? Don't we want it lighter?" The answer is NO when it comes to the lower-end budget drones. If you have a very slight wind outside, it will turn that D10 and D20 and your HS210 into expensive pieces of shrapnel. We were able to control it a bit by throwing the full speed of the drone against the wind but then the wind would drop and suddenly we'd have a drone going 180 degrees to the direction we wanted at full speed. I see the propeller guards on the D10 are different than the D20. The problem is that the D20 guards physically eject themselves into being lost if you hit anything. We've lost all our spares for our D20 so now we Gorilla tape the remaining ones on. Oh, the battery will pop off the D20 if its a hard enough whack so it might be the same for the D10? Don't get me wrong. The D10 and D20 are fast as heck and I love flipping it no matter how many times I do it but the wind has just too much weight on it versus the D50. It really MOVES when there is no wind when its on full speed. I love it when we hike because the trees kill all the wind and its a nice small package to record some smaller yet still decent videos on the trails whereas taking the HS 720e or 700 is just too much drone for twisting paths. Keep up the great content, James! I'm trying to start my own channel but learning to edit is kicking my butt. :(
I have one. First flight...too windy. Set itself down with the wind blowing it towards a lagoon. She was still blinking underwater....grabbed it immediately...ran it even though it was wet....then shut it down put it infront of low heat for a few days. Frickin thing still works. The guys were laughing because the last view the camera showed was underwater with weeds waving in front of it. Only thing that went sideways.. .the one battery that was in it while it was looking for Nemo, doesn't last as long ..but still works!!!!!
This is Chris from the future with some SAGE advice. The foldable props for the less expensive drones are cheap. Cheap drone, cheap parts. I ran a D20 into a wall inside the house. It was not even really that hard of a hit but it hyperextended one of the props. I would imagine if you got a little too aggressive that you could do it just by opening the props. What happened? Holy Stone and DeeRC use very short leads from the controller board to the motors. Blue for plus and Red for negative. If you hyperextend it is VERY easy to rip one of the leads off of the controller board, disabling one of the rotors. DO NOT FRET. You most likely didn't kill the motor unless you took it for a swim. If the prop is still in one piece you're not dead. Someone with a few soldering skills can unscrew about 10 or 15 little screws, pop the top off and see that the wire has been pulled off of its pad. A bit of heat, a bit of solder and the connection is fixed. You can even test if this is a fix by powering it up, holding the wire to it's pad and see if the dead motor spins up. I turned a DeeRC D20 from a piece of grey/black plastic garbage back into a fully working drone again with about 30 minutes of work.
Chris< I dont really see this as an indoor drone, there are much better options, i think the HS210 is the best indoor drone ever and my dogs have logged 100’s of miles chasing it all over the house…..Thanks for your input
@@b4ugo Oh I was just testing the 20 and without the trim set it went "yeeeeyyyyawwww" into the Christmas tree last Christmas. I thought it was the wall but I remember it was the tree. I got if off the tree and saw that the strut was hyper extended. In any case, if you go inside these drones, they don't have a very complex setup outside of the controller boards. All four props have 2 sets of pads and the wires to the motors can get knocked off them. I hate thinking about a kid who maybe overcooks his hard earned drone into something and then throws it out when all that is the problem is a pulled wire. :) Keep up the great content. Always good to see some of your tips. (Crossing fingers for a good pick because I would love a nice smaller drone between my 20 and my 700e. Something fun to sit in the back yard and play with ORRR perhaps a character in an upcoming video.
Awesome video, just bought this drone, and I’m currently charging the batteries, and just wanted to see how to fly this thing, being is I’ve never owned a drone before! Thanks so much
Thanks for this video guide... I've just got this drone for Christmas, only been out once with it as the weather has been a bit Welsh lol... Got it flying in manual mode getting the hang of the steering. It is quite responsive, even for a novice like me. The only problem I'm having it with the trimming, I can't seem to get it to hold level, I have to keep correcting the position by steering backwards... I'm sure I will work it out tho. Your vid has been a great help tho, so thanks... Keep safe out there... Also... If that's your garden, it's real nice 😊
Make sure is on level ground when you calibrate the gyro’s on the controller, if its off even a bit it will fly weird also make sure there are not any metal objects when you calibrate them, its not just this drone, I have to so this with $10,000 drones. Thanks for watching
Your video is very helpful and it's good to see that I don't regret of ordering one from Lazada. I think it's a great choice! Actually it's going to be my 2nd drone and I'm so excited to take my hand on it. Thanks man!
@@b4ugo I envy you because you got a chance of having different drones and made a personal comparisons to it. Few years from now, I foresee that drones would be very much useful not just for hobbyist like us, I hope that they seen it too.
@@b4ugo You flew the drone pretty good even under windy condition. Hahaha... I wish I could do the same. Here in the Philippines only a few people who have drones and they can't just flew anywhere because they worry of losing theirs and it quite expensive.
I couldn't figure out why I couldn't see the live view on my phone like the first time I used the drone. So I re-read the manual then Googled and... after a few searches I found You. Thank you ❤ (I forgot to connect to drone via wifi) So do you recommend using the phone app to control the drone?
Hmmm, just pulled this out after sitting for a couple years. The battery in the quad was dead...I guess you shouldn't leave them in for storage. Flies fine on the other battery but I'm getting loud continuous kinda random mechanical clicks in flight. Props all wiggle about the same...none loose. Any idea what might be clicking?
Great video on this drone! I just order one on Amazon will come today! I bought some cheap drone before it just fly away by itself when it was lift off 5 feet from the ground! I hope this drone don’t just fly away by itself!
Not really, just the fact that it has a camera at this price is a bonus, honestly just take photos with it and use the video for orientation after you are familiar with it, i wouldnt even use the camera in the beginning
I really enjoy watching you fly these drones, it has me laughing as well as learning!!!!!! I will say that regular mode compared to headless mode seems backwards to me. In regular mode it responds the opposite to what I am commanding it to do?? If I turn the controller up side down it responds correctly?? Thanks Much!!!!!!
If your very experienced in flying drones then you can fly this model indoors. I did with no crashes or problems. Well except for the dog trying to catch it.
I just purchased one.im a beginner. Question. When you connect everything for the camera do you have to have wifi engaged. I was wanting to take photos in a public park. Do I need to link everything before I leave home? Will it still work? Thanks
Just bought a used one looks to be in great shape though but I do not have a QR code for the app can somebody throw a picture of it up thank you video very helpful
@@b4ugo Tnx for the reply. You mean, lesser wind will make the drone more steady for purposes of taking good almost still picture? Will it be possible though to make it steady above, i.e., not moving at all?
Good Review. Grabbing one to fly on my Ranch but gone start low dollar to get hang of it if anything happens not losing out. Got a lake and ponds so I want to make sure that I'm skilled before spending some Good money.
I literally just got this drone my first ever drone. Do you have a beginner video on this drone? I’m a bit nervous about going outside and losing it. Maybe go over starting out basics. Explaining things a bit how to get started? To do’s and not to do’s? How to not let it get away from you? That kind of stuff. Thanks
I have a couple of video’s on the channel going over basic’s like this, I do need to are a whole playlist on this subject, its so important, I am flying a Matric 300RTK ($35,000) all week in the mountains fighting winsheer, mapping to fight forest fires for the Department of the Interior, without the skill set that I learned on budget drones I would never attempt it
The video quality is what is actually showing in this preview? cause it looks super laggy. Were you recording at high quality like 4k and low fps or something? Thank you for the attention
Thanks for the great video. This is my first drone, still having issues with it to pair to my phone. I can bring up the app but don’t see through the camera and not able to take pictures/videos.
are you going back and checking the app while the drone is connected? i cant remeber but if this drone has a SD card I wouldnt even mess with that, i would only use the app, another fun thing to do is screen record while you are flying, I hope that helps
Thanks for the great review. I really appreciate your down to earth style and honesty. I just got my D10 yesterday and this review really helped me out. You're right about flying this one indoors - not recommended! I crashed mine a few times while trying to fly it in the house. Based on your recommendation I ordered a Holy Stone HS210 to practice flying indoors. Keep up the good work!
I just try it this afternoon, it was besutifull weather, I love it, but I have problems getting it back, it tends to fly away, keep trying to get it back but before I lost it I had to landed it. Am I doing something wrong?
We got this drone and the camera doesn’t work, just a white screen, any tips? Your video it just automatically was working, wondering if we got a dud? Would love your opinion. Thank you.
Recieved the Dc10 as a gift. Having trouble with the remote turning on and off & only able to fly with my cell phone. Any way to get another remote from DeeRc?
I doubt it, double check that the battery connections are not rusted or have the springs bent in any way. Pretty sure it’s a battery connection problem, never had an issue with a controller for a budget drone shutting off.
@@b4ugo thanks.. But the controller is malfunctioning.. I have Checked everything.. 4 packs of new batteries plus i have rechargeable batteries. When you press power button on controler nothing lights up or beeps. It sits for a few minutes (sometines) then you hear a beep and see a light. Then it goes blank...no power no sound. As of now it hasn't turned on in at least a week. It only worked for about 3 days and i started to have issues after that.
Thanks for the review! Disappointed there wasn't any full screen footage from the drone though I wanted to see what the drone footage looked like on the big screen in 1080p. Thanks anyways!
Thanks for your video. Really good and helpful. I got one. But the only problem is it's really light. I flew it yesterday and it blew away to the wind direction. I think it's better to be under weather without wind? Also, there is no voice for the videos, right? Thanks again!
Another problem today I had was one of 4 caps on propellers above the wings was lost. It does not affect flying. But do you know where I can find one or way to fix it or something to replace it?
I have a few video’s that kinda go over it, start with a HS210 with covered props, I had the D10 and when I wreck it it broke the motor, covered props are a must to start. Thanks for watching
Hey James, thank you very much for this review. Looking to purchase the D10 for my son, I'm sure he will be more than excited! Subscribed!!! Have you found out what the null button does?
The Null button is for Warp Speed like in Star Wars, lol, just kidding, i dont think is does anything. I need to change the title, i think they are up in price. There is a shortage in raw materials right now in China
to be honest I dont know, I know it has to have a certain WiFi capability, I like the controller on the D50 better but they both fly great and the D10 is foldable.
Hai.. I just have this drone today. I have the problem that wifi is not connected. I have did what u said to airplane mode but its also not working any more. What i have to do?
i got mine yester day should come in 3 days I'm super happy that this really good. I'm getting it because my deerc d20 broke on my so i thought to get a bigger drone
Hi good video. I have this model but not yet used!! Problem connect phone Motorola G8 Download app ok but drone does not connect phone it's android any clue what to do ?? Grateful in advance Nigel
first time i flew this thing the wind took it and it almost landed in a major street. Also even low flying the wind will through this thing around like crazy. I only spent about 15 min with it. Can you show more videos on the trim and control of the drone. I just need it to fly 18 feet and make a 360 turn and back again. thanks
hi i just got my drone deerc d10 just today and i tried to connect it to the WiFi and it wont connect. the drone wifi connection wont show up in my phone.. i tried to connect it also to my tablet but still the same problem does it mean that the drone wifi is deffective?
Couple things, try using airplane mode, the drone is just using the WiFi from the phone, not your home. Also, try deleting the app and reinstalling it. I have had issues in the past with certain drones but one it worked it worked from then on.
Thanks for great video good info easy to set up mine came with a case, I was looking for a simple user friendly drone that can take pictures and video for vacations, I think this drone will fit the bill. Thanks
I am unable to connect to the drone via Wi-Fi. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Does everything have to be turned on at once? The phone does not see either the drone or the remote control.
Is this a good drone to go far and explore cause im looking for one that can go far because i am kinda stuck at home and wanna explore from my house is this a good one or should i keep looking
Hey, so I've had the d10 for a few days and the camera wouldn't work on my phone so I tried to slide the camera off the drone itself like you did in this video and now its totally broke?? I thought it just slid off. Do you know where I can get a replacement? Tia :)
It would be cheaper to get a new drone on EBay, it’s the same drone as the Holy Stone HS240 and they are about $32. The HS camera isn’t quite as good but close, but the rest of the drone is the same
Hiya do you need a licence for one of these as I know it’s classed as a toy grade drone as ima probably get one for my birthday in 2 weeks and if you need a license can you use it with out one?
I’m the USA, you only need a license if your using a drone for more than recreational purposes. But, everyone needs to take the trust test and you can’t fail it!
@@b4ugo okay so what happenes in the uk if you done do any tests and just use it for recording uses onley and use it on a empty public feelds will I still be able to use one I used to own a midioum one a while ago but I used that on my back garden
Thanks Kyle, I should do a video of what it looked like when I bought it 3 years ago. It was a disaster, a doctor had built it in 1983 but hadn’t had water or HVAC for the last eight years and lived in the house. It probably would have been cheaper to knock it down and start over. I flip houses on the side but never had a challenge like this one. But, Its worth way more than twice what I have in it.
This is my very first drone and I was so confused about what the heck to do. I appreciate your video. It really helped me. Now let's go play!
Thanks so much! That means a lot!

I hate thinking about a kid who maybe overcooks his hard earned drone into something and then throws it out when all that is the problem is a pulled wire. :)
Keep up the great content. Always good to see some of your tips. (Crossing fingers for a good pick because I would love a nice smaller drone between my 20 and my 700e. Something fun to sit in the back yard and play with ORRR perhaps a character in an upcoming video.
Awesome video, just bought this drone, and I’m currently charging the batteries, and just wanted to see how to fly this thing, being is I’ve never owned a drone before! Thanks so much
Thanks Daniel! That’s my sons name
This is my first drone and Thank you so much for the information
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video guide... I've just got this drone for Christmas, only been out once with it as the weather has been a bit Welsh lol... Got it flying in manual mode getting the hang of the steering. It is quite responsive, even for a novice like me.
The only problem I'm having it with the trimming, I can't seem to get it to hold level, I have to keep correcting the position by steering backwards... I'm sure I will work it out tho.
Your vid has been a great help tho, so thanks...
Keep safe out there...
Also... If that's your garden, it's real nice 😊
Make sure is on level ground when you calibrate the gyro’s on the controller, if its off even a bit it will fly weird also make sure there are not any metal objects when you calibrate them, its not just this drone, I have to so this with $10,000 drones. Thanks for watching
Your video is very helpful and it's good to see that I don't regret of ordering one from Lazada. I think it's a great choice! Actually it's going to be my 2nd drone and I'm so excited to take my hand on it. Thanks man!
Thanks Ruel! Where are you from?
@@b4ugo From Philippines sir.
@@b4ugo I envy you because you got a chance of having different drones and made a personal comparisons to it. Few years from now, I foresee that drones would be very much useful not just for hobbyist like us, I hope that they seen it too.
@@b4ugo You flew the drone pretty good even under windy condition. Hahaha... I wish I could do the same. Here in the Philippines only a few people who have drones and they can't just flew anywhere because they worry of losing theirs and it quite expensive.
Very good video !!! Thanks I'm waiting mine to day.
Thanks Alain! Fly safe
I couldn't figure out why I couldn't see the live view on my phone like the first time I used the drone.
So I re-read the manual then Googled and... after a few searches I found You. Thank you ❤ (I forgot to connect to drone via wifi)
So do you recommend using the phone app to control the drone?
NO!!!! Its not a GPS drone, i never even look at the screen anymore, i have lost a few, if there isn’t any wind its ok, great question
Just brought one not flow it yet but your video was very helpful
Thanks so much, that was in the very begging of my YT journey
Which one would you prefer ? The d50 or this one??
The D50’s controller is way better, but the drones are abou the same
Hmmm, just pulled this out after sitting for a couple years. The battery in the quad was dead...I guess you shouldn't leave them in for storage. Flies fine on the other battery but I'm getting loud continuous kinda random mechanical clicks in flight. Props all wiggle about the same...none loose. Any idea what might be clicking?
Might be the brushed motors kinda getting in a bind, that’s all I can think of.
Great video on this drone! I just order one on Amazon will come today! I bought some cheap drone before it just fly away by itself when it was lift off 5 feet from the ground! I hope this drone don’t just fly away by itself!
Awesome, great value! Gave mine away, need to get another one!
Thanks for the video. Can you suggest anything to help with the laggy video recording I get from this drone?
Not really, just the fact that it has a camera at this price is a bonus, honestly just take photos with it and use the video for orientation after you are familiar with it, i wouldnt even use the camera in the beginning
I got my first drone today, and it's the D10. I tried it inside first and crashed into everything. LOL I'll try it outside tomorrow.
Yes, definitely not a inside drone for beginners, careful with the wind and have fun!
Hi B4U GO...which is the best between this and holy stone 260 and idea 16? Wich is the best overall today under 100$ Thank you
I really enjoy watching you fly these drones, it has me laughing as well as learning!!!!!! I will say that regular mode compared to headless mode seems backwards to me. In regular mode it responds the opposite to what I am commanding it to do?? If I turn the controller up side down it responds correctly?? Thanks Much!!!!!!
Yes, i wish they would never offer headless mode, you will get it, its kinda like learning to back up a car
@@b4ugo I sure wish you would make a video showing how to fly in regular mode, position of the head during flight etc.
If your very experienced in flying drones then you can fly this model indoors.
I did with no crashes or problems. Well except for the dog trying to catch it.
years ago my dogs loved chasing drones, now they are getting old and the fun is gone! but its a great way to learn, thanks for sharing
I am thinking of buying the D10 or the D50, which one would you say is better
I like the controller better on the D50, they fly about the same and the D-10 folds up, but instill like the D50 better
Excellent Video thanks
I got a drone for Christmas I really like it but can I buy a battery that less more time
Don’t think so, it’s a modular battery, you could get extra batteries on EBay. Thanks for watching
I just purchased one.im a beginner. Question. When you connect everything for the camera do you have to have wifi engaged. I was wanting to take photos in a public park. Do I need to link everything before I leave home? Will it still work? Thanks
You have to use the wifi to use the camera, you can fly it without it but it has to have a device to operate the camera
Just bought a used one looks to be in great shape though but I do not have a QR code for the app can somebody throw a picture of it up thank you video very helpful
If you google it, it should take you to the app.
Thanks for the very informative demo. How do you make the drone steady, say about 20 feet above the ground, to take still picture?
Just takes practice, the less wind the easier, thanks for watching
@@b4ugo Tnx for the reply. You mean, lesser wind will make the drone more steady for purposes of taking good almost still picture? Will it be possible though to make it steady above, i.e., not moving at all?
Great drone for the price, i just have trouble with the remote pairing and power button. Any tips?
Try deleting the app and reinstalling it, have you tried a second device?
Thank you so much! Im looking for a drone for my granddaughter. She is turning 10 but very smart & catches on easily!
Nice review. I might end up asking you more questions. This is my first drone!
This is a great first drome
@@b4ugo Nice. I just posted a video with my drone. I am in a different field.
Would you recommend this drone for indoor use?
No. There are much better beginner drones for indoors, this is a pretty big drone, the Holyton 330 is a great indoor drone.
Good Review. Grabbing one to fly on my Ranch but gone start low dollar to get hang of it if anything happens not losing out. Got a lake and ponds so I want to make sure that I'm skilled before spending some Good money.
Let me know how I can help
I literally just got this drone my first ever drone. Do you have a beginner video on this drone? I’m a bit nervous about going outside and losing it. Maybe go over starting out basics. Explaining things a bit how to get started? To do’s and not to do’s? How to not let it get away from you? That kind of stuff. Thanks
I have a couple of video’s on the channel going over basic’s like this, I do need to are a whole playlist on this subject, its so important, I am flying a Matric 300RTK ($35,000) all week in the mountains fighting winsheer, mapping to fight forest fires for the Department of the Interior, without the skill set that I learned on budget drones I would never attempt it
The video quality is what is actually showing in this preview? cause it looks super laggy. Were you recording at high quality like 4k and low fps or something? Thank you for the attention
lol, that was under water, it was me trying to be funny, lol, some poor soul dumped his $1,800 drone in the lake
Thanks for the great video. This is my first drone, still having issues with it to pair to my phone. I can bring up the app but don’t see through the camera and not able to take pictures/videos.
are you going back and checking the app while the drone is connected? i cant remeber but if this drone has a SD card I wouldnt even mess with that, i would only use the app, another fun thing to do is screen record while you are flying, I hope that helps
Thanks for the great review. I really appreciate your down to earth style and honesty. I just got my D10 yesterday and this review really helped me out. You're right about flying this one indoors - not recommended! I crashed mine a few times while trying to fly it in the house. Based on your recommendation I ordered a Holy Stone HS210 to practice flying indoors. Keep up the good work!
Wow Scott, thanks so much! The 210 has went up in price lately but you will love it! Happy Holidays!
I just try it this afternoon, it was besutifull weather, I love it, but I have problems getting it back, it tends to fly away, keep trying to get it back but before I lost it I had to landed it. Am I doing something wrong?
I have the drone too. its a really good drone. great video!
Thanks, Its so much fun getting so much out of something so inexpensive!
Did I use this for viloging
We got this drone and the camera doesn’t work, just a white screen, any tips? Your video it just automatically was working, wondering if we got a dud? Would love your opinion. Thank you.
Does it show that’s it’s connected? Did you try another device?
Recieved the Dc10 as a gift. Having trouble with the remote turning on and off & only able to fly with my cell phone. Any way to get another remote from DeeRc?
I doubt it, double check that the battery connections are not rusted or have the springs bent in any way. Pretty sure it’s a battery connection problem, never had an issue with a controller for a budget drone shutting off.
@@b4ugo thanks.. But the controller is malfunctioning.. I have Checked everything.. 4 packs of new batteries plus i have rechargeable batteries. When you press power button on controler nothing lights up or beeps. It sits for a few minutes (sometines) then you hear a beep and see a light. Then it goes blank...no power no sound. As of now it hasn't turned on in at least a week. It only worked for about 3 days and i started to have issues after that.
13:47 did you ever figure out if you could turn off the lights to save battery?
Sorry, I gave that drone away over a year ago, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review! Disappointed there wasn't any full screen footage from the drone though I wanted to see what the drone footage looked like on the big screen in 1080p. Thanks anyways!
Ok, ill work on doing that from now on, thanks for the advice
Thanks for your video. Really good and helpful. I got one. But the only problem is it's really light. I flew it yesterday and it blew away to the wind direction. I think it's better to be under weather without wind?
Also, there is no voice for the videos, right?
Thanks again!
Yes, there is no sound for the video, only high dollar drones have sound.
@@b4ugo thanks
Another problem today I had was one of 4 caps on propellers above the wings was lost. It does not affect flying. But do you know where I can find one or way to fix it or something to replace it?
Not sure about the cap’s but I’m sure they do not change the perfomance
The D10 is my first drone so I am just beginning to learn how to fly it. Is there any tips you could give me please 🙏🏽
I have a few video’s that kinda go over it, start with a HS210 with covered props, I had the D10 and when I wreck it it broke the motor, covered props are a must to start. Thanks for watching
Hey James, thank you very much for this review. Looking to purchase the D10 for my son, I'm sure he will be more than excited! Subscribed!!! Have you found out what the null button does?
The Null button is for Warp Speed like in Star Wars, lol, just kidding, i dont think is does anything. I need to change the title, i think they are up in price. There is a shortage in raw materials right now in China
Does it work on samsung galexy s20 ultra and ssmasung glaexy a51 also is the d51 better or d10?
to be honest I dont know, I know it has to have a certain WiFi capability, I like the controller on the D50 better but they both fly great and the D10 is foldable.
I have that holy stone. Mini drone
Hai.. I just have this drone today. I have the problem that wifi is not connected. I have did what u said to airplane mode but its also not working any more. What i have to do?
Have you checked to see if your phone is capable with the app, also try deleting and re-installing the app.
i got mine yester day should come in 3 days I'm super happy that this really good. I'm getting it because my deerc d20 broke on my so i thought to get a bigger drone
Awesome, i gave mine to a missionary in Guatemala ad he loves it, let me know what you think and thanks for watching!
@@b4ugo ok
@@b4ugo it is soo good it came today it is so fun and it works so well!
I’m so glad you like it, it’s an amazing drone at that price!
Is it 2k or 1080p
Hi good video.
I have this model but not yet used!!
Problem connect phone Motorola G8
Download app ok but drone does not connect phone it's android any clue what to do ??
Grateful in advance
Nigel
Ya, not sure about that phone, you can fly it without your phone, just cant use the camera
@@b4ugo yes I know but it's pointless without camera,
So disappointed
Never flown it
Hi, which one is better? This d10 or the d50?
The drones are close but I love the controller on the D50…..it’s really good
I got this for Christmas
Awesome, do you like IT?
Does it need to be connected to Wi-Fi
If you want the camera to work, it’s the camera from your phone. Not your house. You can fly it not using the App. Happy Holidays
Are there any upgrades for this?
For the drone it’s self? Or the next drone? There really isn’t anything you could modify on this drone that would be worth it.
Thanks for Watching
@@b4ugo didn't know if there was an upgradable camera with a gimbal
but can i fly it indoors?
It can but I wouldnt advise it, its a pretty good size drone, unles its a big open area.
first time i flew this thing the wind took it and it almost landed in a major street. Also even low flying the wind will through this thing around like crazy. I only spent about 15 min with it. Can you show more videos on the trim and control of the drone. I just need it to fly 18 feet and make a 360 turn and back again. thanks
It just takes a little practice on the trim, and be careful if the wind is over 5-10 mph
How does this compare to the HS440?
Well, it’s less than half the cost, but, it’s a really good drone for the price, it’s up there for being the best
Good VT.... thanks
I just got this drone and it’s good
hi i just got my drone deerc d10 just today and i tried to connect it to the WiFi and it wont connect. the drone wifi connection wont show up in my phone.. i tried to connect it also to my tablet but still the same problem does it mean that the drone wifi is deffective?
Couple things, try using airplane mode, the drone is just using the WiFi from the phone, not your home. Also, try deleting the app and reinstalling it. I have had issues in the past with certain drones but one it worked it worked from then on.
Thanks for great video good info easy to set up mine came with a case, I was looking for a simple user friendly drone that can take pictures and video for vacations, I think this drone will fit the bill. Thanks
Did you see the HS240 (same drone) is on EBay for $35? I have a video on it. Thanks for watching!
I am unable to connect to the drone via Wi-Fi. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Does everything have to be turned on at once?
The phone does not see either the drone or the remote control.
Is this a good drone to go far and explore cause im looking for one that can go far because i am kinda stuck at home and wanna explore from my house is this a good one or should i keep looking
Any wi-fi drone will not have good range, probably no more than 300 meters, you would need to got to a GPS drone to get long range.
@@b4ugo ok thanks
Really impressive
Did you see the HS240 (same drone) is on EBay for $35? I just posted a video on it
For some reason the drone won't connect to my phone do u have a solution?
What phone is it? Are you making sure to connect Wi-Fi? Let me know, thanks
@@b4ugo I tried to connect it with my tablet it works now but not with my phone, the phone is an Samsung Galaxy a10s. thanks the video really helped
Thanks for the video 👍
Thanks so much! Merry Christmas!
Hey, so I've had the d10 for a few days and the camera wouldn't work on my phone so I tried to slide the camera off the drone itself like you did in this video and now its totally broke?? I thought it just slid off. Do you know where I can get a replacement? Tia :)
It would be cheaper to get a new drone on EBay, it’s the same drone as the Holy Stone HS240 and they are about $32. The HS camera isn’t quite as good but close, but the rest of the drone is the same
Is there a way to keep it steady? It always moves
Any idea when I conext to the wifi and then open the app it doesn’t show up it’s just a white screen
Try deleting it and reinstalling it, also, check that your device is compatible
What is the null button for mate ?
I never found a reason for it, I thought it would be to cancel RTH, I’ll see if I can find out
@@b4ugo its ok now mate sorted it lol . It means nothink on that model it shares the same remote as another model 👍
Nice drone
Hiya do you need a licence for one of these as I know it’s classed as a toy grade drone as ima probably get one for my birthday in 2 weeks and if you need a license can you use it with out one?
I’m the USA, you only need a license if your using a drone for more than recreational purposes. But, everyone needs to take the trust test and you can’t fail it!
@@b4ugo okay so what happenes in the uk if you done do any tests and just use it for recording uses onley and use it on a empty public feelds will I still be able to use one I used to own a midioum one a while ago but I used that on my back garden
@@b4ugo and I don’t have a license or anything like that but I know how to use one as I’ve owned one and got a lot of exsperiance with it
What does null mean mate on the controller?
Not really sure, lol, i thought it was to stop recording or something
Ur house is gorgeous
Thanks Kyle, I should do a video of what it looked like when I bought it 3 years ago. It was a disaster, a doctor had built it in 1983 but hadn’t had water or HVAC for the last eight years and lived in the house. It probably would have been cheaper to knock it down and start over. I flip houses on the side but never had a challenge like this one. But, Its worth way more than twice what I have in it.
Good review
You should get Amazon affiliate links👍
Will this work with honor 10 lite😁
Not sure, is that a phone?
@@b4ugo yes
