Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Elite Edition Quadricopter (Sand)

Product Information

We found moving video footage to be pretty stable thanks to the built in stability control of the drone – according to Parrot this is good in wind conditions of up to 15MPH. Overall FLY LIKE A CHAMPION – The AR.Drone is equipped with intuitive sensors that allow it to remain stable in the air, virtually flying itself. Anyone can fly like a champion as the embedded sensors allow for easy take-off and landing. With the AR.Drone 2.0 and AR.FreeFlight 2.4, you can access the exclusive and patented Absolute Control piloting mode for beginners that can be adjusted with your growing expertise. As I stated this is one of the better drones for beginners, with advanced features that Parrot have patented like absolute control mode which lets beginners control their drone more easily. Design

Every feature provided in this drone is very advanced and the performance it gives is awesome and completely worth the price. The overall design and build quality of this drone is pretty awesome and is highly recommended for beginner use.

Coming to the range at which this drone can fly is within 50m range. The design and build quality are very good which will be discussed in the later sections. The camera is very nicely designed with an extra FPV Feature that makes this drone even more worth the price. The first thing to note is that the Parrot AR Drone 2.0 sits in the low to mid price range. So whilst it is not anywhere near the high end premium models such as the Mavic Pro or Phantom 4 Pro it is also not classed as an out and out budget drone either. The Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Specs

You can record whatever the AR.Drone 2.0 sees through its forward- or down-facing camera in 720p quality. The mobile app handles all recording and storage, so any video or photos you take are automatically added to your smartphone or tablet; the drone doesn't have any onboard storage. It doesn't record sound, because the drone's rotors would drown out any audio it could capture. Video quality is decent indoors, but don't expect anything better than what you'd shoot with an inexpensive smartphone. Range: The onboard Wi-Fi extends only about half the length of a football field, and conditions can cause the range to vary, the company says. When the drone is out of range, it will self-stabilize, and you simply move closer and regain control. But it is a frustratingly short range. Welcome to my review of the Parrot AR drone 2.0 elite edition, as you can tell by its title, it’s in its second update and has some awesome features that would make it a good choice for any level of drone flyers.Standard features that you might expect include 3D flips and rolls, altitude hold, one touch take off/landing and a headless flying mode. If you fly out of range then you can expect to here the alarm beeping so you will know to fly a little closer to where you are. This Parrot quadcopter is made to ensure, first, the build and quality of this drone are in a high tier compared to other beginner lever drones. The frame is made of carbon and nylon material and it comes with brushless motors which are assuredly more reliable and durable than the cheaper brushed motors in the market. The drone comes with 2 Styrofoam bodies one for indoors and one for outdoors. They are easily slipped on around the frame of the drone for better protection. Built-In 720p HD Camera This drone is not just about the social media sharing though, although we do think it is pretty cool that there is no need for cables, SD cards and the like when it comes to storing your footage as your phone/tablet will store it on the fly (you see what we did there).
