- A quadcopter that fits in your hand with a video camera that fits on the quadcopter: what a world we’re living in, huh?

- Crazily stable and astonishingly easy to fly
- You’ll need an SD card (not included) to experience the miracle of vicarious flight
- Model: CX-10C (short, catchy, understandable, and Google-unique: you know how we feel about hyphens but otherwise this is a model model number (see what we did there?))
Let's take this outside.
Hey, you guys remember that thing people used to do? Like, where you’d walk through the door of your house and there’d be this place there, with, like, wide-open space and fresh air and bugs and this giant ball of fire in the sky? What did they call that? “Doing outside”?
No, no, it was “going outside”. That’s right. And it’s always about this time of year when it gets super-trendy. Everybody crawls out from under their animal skins and emerges blinking and gasping into the sun. It’s a shock at first, but before long people are playing games and riding bikes and cooking food out there all the livelong day.
But that stuff gets old before long. Then it’s time to fly these Cheerson CX-10C quadcopters around. As you know if you’ve bought them the many times they’ve been featured here before, they’re little and fun and not too hard to control. Unlike, say, TVs or toilets, they’re much better suited to outside than inside. Inside, they can only fly a few feet above your head. And you’ve seen all that stuff before. Outside, they can soar, their tiny video cameras recording the kind of view you’ll never get on your own - or inside your house. Like this:
If you haven’t tried doing outsi- er, we mean going outside, give it a shot. It’s dirty and the bugs are annoying, and there’s no air conditioning or central heat. But it can also be refreshing and fun, especially if you face the outside world with a sweet little piece of technology like the Cheerson CX-10C. Going outside is all well and good, but there’s no reason to be a caveman about it.
