The Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Elite Edition has a 720p High Definition main camera and with additional sensors and improved stability. It can perform acrobatic manoeuvres including mid-air flips. But the best part is that this high tech quadcopter, is controlled entirely from your smartphone or tablet.
The AR Drone is compatible with iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches and Android devices. The free App lets you stream live video from the AR Drone's built-in cameras straight to your screen, while you fly. When you want to take off, just press the handy titled 'Take Off' button. The AR Drone will rise into the air of its own accord and stop at a predetermined height. From that point you are the pilot.
Tilt your device forwards and the drone will move forwards. Tilt it left to move left, and right to move right. Height and rotation are easily managed via touchscreen controls. When you want the drone to land, let the software do it for you. Just press the 'Land' and the AR Drone will gently touchdown.
The introduction of a revolutionary new Absolute Flight mode and superior control interface means that even beginners can be winging above the treetops in no time.
The AR Drone comes with two interchangeable hull designs. The rugged Full Hull gives more protection when space is tight; while the more aerodynamic Streamlined Hull is lighter, for greater manoeuvrability outdoors. Either way, the polypropylene foam used in both designs gives a lightweight but robust feel to your drone, so it will take a few knocks and bumps without any problems.
