We recently got the chance to take a look at the Deerc D20 drone, and it’s a really fun and compact flying device. It has four propellers that fold down, making it easy to transport, and two Lithium-ion batteries that can be charged separately and swapped out for more flying time.

The controller will do up-and-down movements and rotate the drone for side-to-side movements.

Here’s our video review of the Deerc D20.

Connecting to Your Phone

The Deerc D20 can also be paired to your phone, so you can control it from there and get a live video feed from the camera. The video quality isn’t the best, as it’s a very small camera, however you can still get a fun overhead view of your space when flying the drone around.

Take Off and Landing

For added convenience, there is a button on the side of the controller that will take off and land the drone. This is especially useful if you ever run into trouble mid-flight and want to land quickly. There is also a button that will make it do a backflip, which is fun to do as well.

Flying the Drone

The Deerc D20 is a lot of fun to fly outside. We did a test flight in our backyard and it was really enjoyable. The flight was not the most stable, but the manual controller allowed us to make adjustments as needed. The auto landing feature also worked great. All in all, it was a great experience and a fun little drone to buzz around with.

Let’s take a look at the Dirk 20 Drone. So, this is a very simple, small drone. It’s actually a lot of fun to fly and you can see it folds up. It’s got the four propellers on here. These can fold down, so it becomes very compact when you’re traveling with it.

It’s got two Lithium-ion batteries you can charge separately which will pop into here, which is nice. You can swap them out and get more flying time on there. It’s also got this controller. So, this is going to do up and down on the controller and then this will rotate the Drone and the side side to side as well on here. So, you can do a lot with it and you can pair it to your phone as well so that you’re able to control it from there and also get a video feed from the camera.

There’s a little camera on the front here and honestly the video quality is not terrific. It’ll take photos and it’ll take video, technically it’s HD, but it’s a very small camera and it does a great video. But it’s really fun to see that overhead view of your space when you’re flying this around.

Some other nice things on here: there’s a button that’ll do take off and Landing over on the side here. So, if you run into trouble and want to land quickly, you can just press the button on there. There’s also a button you can press to make it do a backflip, which is kind of fun to do as well.

Now, this drone is a lot of fun to play outside and I can show you what that looks like. So, let’s use that auto takeoff function here in my backyard and fly it around. You can see it’s a super fun little drone to just buzz around with here. Not the most stable flight, you’re going to be using that manual controller to constantly make adjustments as you fly. But then that auto Lan function works great. Let’s pop back up again. Definitely good to use when it’s a pretty still day and not too much wind.

But, super fun little drone. I had a great time flying it around my yard here, as you can see. I love that Lan function.
