Parrot Ar Drone First Hands-on Overview!

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

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

About the In house flight: This is when the Parrot AR Drone stands out. Push 1 button, and the propellers spin up, then adjust into high-speed for that smooth and steady take off. After that it moves at three feet, awaiting more directions. In rookie mode (right button), you are able to move and go up and down. In the pilot mode (left button), you could fly forwards and backward and left and right. Mix both, and you basically have full control.

The optical flow location hold is ideal on a uneven floor, such as a patterned ground or tiled ground. On a entirely featureless floors (cement or sleek, unpatterned carpet) it could tend to float a little. Total flight time is below ten minutes in my experience.

When you fly around furniture, the ultrasonic height hold might get confused. Often it rises when you fly over a couch and often it falls. Sometimes it will get so baffled the AR Drone would go to the ceiling. However in general, it does a very fine job.

Outdoors flight: It's not the AR Drone most powerful suit. First of all, it won't fly more than fifteen feet (because of the range of its ultrasonic sensor I guess). Furthermore, the position hold really only functions when there is zero breeze. When the wind picks up, the AR Drone starts to tilt and rattles, plus the optical flow camera seems to lose its lock. At times meaning it really drifts, maybe it's going to scoot off in a random course after having a wind gust.

However if you have no wind, it is possible to fly as far as the wi-fi connection allows you to. I have successfully tested around 100 feet.
