sean-vrs Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 If you like the phantom but not the price have a look for cheerson cx20 or quantom nova they are clones of the phantom I have a cx20 and am happy with it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyondRC Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 All depends on what you want to do with it? If you want to capture HD Aerial footage then get a phantom as all reviews praise it but im taking it you have never flown a quad before? They are very similar to flying a heli and like me you should learn on something basic that will not cost a lot to fix if you do crash. Also learning to fly on a more basic machine will benefit you in the long run as most like the hubsan x4 or Blade qX which are ideal starter quads does not have GPS etc just a gyro so relies on more of your input rather than the near fully automated phantom quads. I was put off buying one for that reason. Best to learn the basics and move up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjsparks Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 do u get the same sort of speed and range out of the hubsanx4 that u do the quanum nova?.. aslo whats the difference between the cheerson and nova they look fairly similar>? cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The cheerson and nova are the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedrum2010 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I was going to ask a very similar question to the op, although having already owned a hubsan x4. I've just watched a few review bids on the cx20 and I'm well impressed for £200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 imo quads are so much easier to fly than helis, i can fly a quad but not helis. i would definitely get the cheerson cx-20 as i think they can do more than dji phantom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
