Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 ELITE - Sand

AR.Drone was a fun toy when it arrived two years ago, but the new flyer promises an updated design and fresh features that put it much closer to the realm of your own personal spy drone. ELITE EDITION POWER EDITION When Parrot introduced the AR.Drone phone-controlled flying toy two years ago at CES 2010, it made quite a buzz. The pizza-box-sized flyer let enterprising pilots fly via their iPhones, seeing the world through the toy’s low-res camera on their iPhone screen. Parrot won’t say how many devices they sold, but did note that they did well enough to warrant version 2. AR.Drone 2.0, unveiled earlier in 2012 at is now stuffed with far more pro-level features and even offers a somewhat sleeker and, according to Parrot, more resilient design. Onboard HD 720P Camera Parrot, a France-based company, has transformed AR.Drone from a fun toy to a flying robot that could attract everyone from amateur pilots to film directors. The camera now shoots 720p video (fixed lens and no flash). It shoots and, more importantly, captures stills and videos, which are automatically delivers to your phone or tablet via a Wi-Fi connection. Altitude Pressure Sensor Flying control and AR.Drone’s ability to fly right have been improved with new sensors (gyroscope, magnetometer, and pressure sensor) for altitude, orientation and speed. These tools are immediately evident when you hit the “Take Off” button on your screen and the AR.Drone lifts off and then floats stably in space — until your start to control it. Absolute Control Mode A new absolute control mode uses a 3D magnetometer in to synch the AR.Drone to the precise position of your phone or iPad and help keep it in position and flying right (standard flying mode turns off the magnetometer). It even knows where it is and how fast it’s flying — all information that can accompany your captured video. AR.FreeFlight 2.0 You can also view other uploaded AR.Drone videos via the new FreeFlight 2.0 app. The app includes FreeFlight, access to your photos and videos, software updates (when available) and games. Developers can access AR.Drone source code and develop new games and apps on both the Apple iOS and Google Android platforms. Would-be movie directors will appreciate the new programmable “Travelling” feature, which lets you set pre-select the direction and duration of flight and let the drone fly its pre-determined path over and over again until you’ve got the shot you want!
