Syma Kids Drone
Score: 77/100Rankings
The DEERC D20 provides a lightweight, feature-rich mini drone with a 720 p camera, dual batteries for up to 20 minutes total flight and robust accessories. Its limitations are a modest 40 m transmission range and no onboard storage, making it ideal for beginners seeking basic aerial video.
The SYMA X100 (X12) provides obstacle avoidance, gesture control and full-enclosed prop guards, delivering a durable and feature-rich indoor nano drone. Its flight time of 6-9 minutes and range of up to 20 m are modest, and it lacks a camera. Perfect for kids aged 8-12 who want stunt capabilities and safety features.

Professional reviewers consistently commend the DEERC D20 for its ruggedness and beginner-oriented feature set, emphasizing the value of dual batteries and the variety of flight modes. However, they note the absence of onboard storage and the modest range as notable drawbacks for more advanced use.
Everyday users love how easy the D20 is to fly, especially the one-key takeoff and altitude hold, and appreciate its durability and the generous accessories bundle. The most common frustrations revolve around the short flight time, limited range, and lack of a microSD slot for video storage.
Professional reviewers praise the X12 for its superior gyro-based stability, fun stunt repertoire and beginner-friendly controls, calling it a top pick among nano quadcopters. However, they note the limited 20 m range and rapid battery drain during flips, which keep it from being suitable for serious outdoor flying.
Everyday users love how entertaining and stable the X12 is indoors, highlighting its crash-resistant build and easy setup. Common complaints focus on the short 6-8 minute flight time, modest range and occasional tip-overs caused by slow yaw and a high center of gravity.
