Probably the second best drone on the market. Would be 5 stars except for a few shortcomings.

ByAlexon March 23, 2014

Color: JungleProduct Packaging: Standard Packaging

NOTE: This can be found on Amazon for $300

Ok, I own one of these as well as a DJI Phantom. The Phantom is the best drone ever made and some of the best money I ever spent. However, the Phantom v1 with built-in camera costs $500, which is $200 more than the Parrot. The basic model Phantom is $400, but you need to have a GoPro camera to take video.

What this drone does good:
It is simple to fly and pretty stable. I've taken it out in 15mph winds and it handled fine. Anyone can fly it without experience, and after a few hours of flight time you will be a master. The camera takes decent video which streams to your phone or tablet real-time and the video is automatically saved to your photos. It is pretty rugged and can hold up to some crashes. At $300 it comes with everything you need to fly, and it is ready to go right out of the box.

So, why only 4 stars? The main drawback is the control system. It connects to your phone or tablet via WiFi. In other words, the Parrot creates its own WiFi network, and when you connect to that WiFi network you can then use the app to fly the drone. There are two problems with this: First, it only has the range of a WiFi network, which means that at best you can only fly it around 35 yards away from you before the signal gets weak. Compare that to the average standard 2.4ghz R/C transmitter (like the Phantom uses) which has a range of about a mile. Second, since you use the phone as a control, you control it using the touch screen. If you have ever played a FPS or other type of video game on a touch screen you know how much less sensitive it is than using joysticks (i.e. like the joysticks on your PlayStation or XBox remote). You can also use motion control to fly the Parrot. This means when you hold down a "button" on the app, it will move in the way you tilt your phone. Tilt your phone left and it flies left, tilt it forward and the Parrot flies forward. This works really well, as well as it possibly could- but it's STILL not as sensitive as a joystick would be. If they gave you the option to use a transmitter to control it rather than just your phone, this would be a 5 star product.

So now I will talk about it compared to the Phantom: the Phantom is more stable, more powerful and faster, can fly farther, and is easier to control. I have taken the Phantom to the edge of the legal flying height for R/C vehicles (400 feet), I have made it zip around at 20 meters per second (45 mph) and with the GoPro3 it takes insanely good HD video and photos. However, the Phantom v1 with a built-in camera is $500, and the basic model (which I bought for $400) needs a GoPro to take video.

So my final verdict is this:

If you already have a GoPro- it's a no-brainer. Get the Phantom. The extra $50-$100 is TOTALLY worth it. Same if you want a drone and don't care about recording video.

If you don't have a GoPro and don't mind spending around $500, get the Phantom.

If you don't want to spend any more than $300 because of your budget, or because you want a drone but don't want to spend more than $300 for what is essentially a toy, get this.

It is worth the price, and you will have tons of fun with it.

TIP: Buy an extra battery. Each battery has approximately 10 minutes of flying time and takes about 1 hour to charge.

Fun for all

Byjoshon June 10, 2016

Color: JungleProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

So for basic beginners this is a great drone to use. I had one back when it was released a few years ago but sold it. Got this one for my birthday this year and have been stoked about it. Flown it several times and not had a problem. You do have to use your phone/tablet to control it but for me it's easy. There are mods that you can do to make it use a 2.4ghz controller. Yes there are better drones out there but for the price, it's definitely worth it. You may want to invest in an extra battery or two. Each standard battery lasts between 7 to 10 minutes of flight.

The drone no longer flies like it initially did which wasn't very good to begin ...

ByAnnessa Vesselson July 12, 2015

Color: SandProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I received this as a birthday gift. I'm an experienced RC pilot with several years of large scale airplane and helicopter experience. This is my first drone and was very interested in the thought of having aerial photos of my newly purchased home. All of my RC aircraft utilize the 2.4ghz radio system so I was a little concerned to find this uses a wifi signal.

During my first flight, I realized this thing is not immediately responsive to your inputs. Often times you have to give a flight input several times before the drone responds. If you've ever flown an RC aircraft, you'll understand the stress you endure when your model doesn't respond to your flight inputs. So having that in mind, I attempted to keep the drone a low altitude and a short distance away in order to maintain control. Unfortunately, that was unsuccessful. The drone slowly drifted away and would only partially respond to my commands. I managed to keep the drone from hitting the power lines adjacent to my home as it drifted in between them multiple times (I've got the video of these lines close up) before I was able to safely get it back on the ground.

Several weeks later, I had the opportunity to try the drone in a large open area with almost no wind. Two flights were made that ended in the need to utilize the emergency cut. This thing just doesn't respond to your commands and slowly drifts out of range. The second emergency cut was from an altitude of approximately 50 feet and it took a significant impact. The drone no longer flies like it initially did which wasn't very good to begin with. Once off the ground it continually wants to rotate in a clockwise direction.

For several hundred dollars, you'd expect a product that is reliable with predictable flight characteristics. The Parrot AR. Drone 2.0 Elite Edition is an extremely frustrating waste of money due to its wifi control signal. If you're in the market for a drone, look for a product that utilizes the 2.4 radio system.

I was really hoping to like this a lot more

ByWilliamon December 2, 2015

Color: SandProduct Packaging: Standard PackagingVerified Purchase

I was really hoping to like this a lot more.

It's definitely quite finicky to connect with the app - I often have to reset my Nexus 5 and the ARDrone before the app lets me connect, even though I've connected to the ARDrone WiFi network and checked I have the right IP.

I've also realized that, while controlling with the app is pretty simple once you know what you're doing, it's not as accurate as stick/throttle combo.

My biggest bugbear is the fixed camera, which I knew was there but didn't realize how much more fun this would be if it had a gimbal camera.

All these points I knew about before I bought the drone, but it's just not as exciting as I had hoped it would be.
