Parrot AR Drone First Hands-on Review!

The package: The box includes the AR Drone, outside and inside bodies

, a 1000 MaH LiPo battery as well as charger, plugs for several country electric outlets, plus a target.

About the In house flight: That's where the Parrot AR Drone stands out. Push 1 button, and the propellers spin up, then adjust into high-speed for that clean and steady pull off. It then moves at around three feet, awaiting further directions. In beginner mode (right button), you are able to turn and go up and down. In the pilot mode (left button), you are able to fly forwards and backward and left and right. Put together the 2, and you essentially have complete control.

The optical flow location hold is most effective on a distinctive floor, as a patterned floor covering or tiled floor. On a absolutely featureless ground (concrete floor or sleek, unpatterned carpet) it might tend to drift a lttle bit. Total flight time is a bit below 10 mins in my experience.

While you fly over furniture, the ultrasonic height hold may get confused. It often climbs up while you fly over a sofa and sometimes it decreases. Sometimes it will get so baffled the AR Drone would go to the ceiling. However in general, it lets you do a very decent job.

Outdoor flight: It's not the AR Drone strongest suit. First of all, it will not fly over fifteen feet (because of the range of its ultrasonic sensor I guess). Furthermore, the position hold really only functions when there is zero wind. Should the wind picks up, the AR Drone starts to tilt and rattles, and also the optical flow camera seems to lose the lock. Oftentimes this means it simply drifts, in other cases it can scoot off in a random course after having a blowing wind strong gust.

Though if you have no wind, you'll be able to fly as far as the wireless connection allow you to. I have successfully tried up to a hundred feet.

Dr. Mark Winston highly likes Remote control flying as a leisure activity, because of that the AR Drone is like a dream coming true! You can find a FAQ about the Parrot AR Drone here for yourself and see why this specific gadget has captured so many grownups.
