YIKKEON C20 Gimbal Drone review
A budget drone with a 3-axis gimbal, GPS and a screen controller, for about $220. Its 10,000-foot range claim is the boldest on this shelf, and the listing has only 18 ratings.
A 3-axis gimbal is what separates smooth aerial video from shaky footage, and it is usually found on drones costing $300 or more. The C20 offers one for about $220, along with GPS return, follow me and a controller with a 4.5-inch screen.
Claims to read carefully
The seller quotes a 10,000-foot range and 90 minutes of total flight with three batteries. Neither comes with test conditions. Treat them as upper limits.
A young listing
With 18 ratings at 3.9 stars, this listing has little owner history. The DJI Mini 4K costs more but has more than 2,000 ratings and published wind figures.
Flying legally
The FAA’s rules decide where and how you may fly, whatever a listing says. Check the FAA website before your first flight.

What people ask before they commit
How does it compare with the DJI Mini 4K?
Both carry a 3-axis gimbal and stay under 249 g. The DJI costs about $170 more, has thousands of owner ratings and states its wind resistance. The YIKKEON has 18 ratings so far.
Can I really fly 10,000 feet away?
That is a best-case link figure. US rules require you to keep the drone within visual line of sight, which is far shorter.
Is it the same C20 sold in Europe?
YIKKEON sells it here as the AeroC20; the part number is C20-091625. Spare arms and parts are listed for the AeroC20 Max.

Our score
7.5/ 10
An attractive spec sheet for the price, with a real gimbal and a screen controller. The brand and the listing are both young, so buy with the return window in mind.
