Parrot AR Drone Review

If you are looking for a true "big boy’s" toy, then this little baby is the one for you.

The Parrot AR Drone is so much more than a radio controlled helicopter, it is in fact a quadricopter that is controlled by your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Android device. Not only that, the copter also has a top quality on board front camera and vertical camera so you can capture all the thrills of your flight. Actually live, as it happens in realtime, on your telephone device. You can also use this Parrot AR Drone indoors or outdoors thanks to the provided interchangeable hulls, but if you are into your gaming then you are in for a real treat.

You can now dive into the App store and download a number of features and games to further enhance the use of your Parrot AR Drone. One of the games I use with my drone is AR.FlyingAce, a pure fun filled flight and dog fight battle with other drone users; fantastically addictive!

To be honest, when the Parrot AR Drone arrived I was not that impressed. I think that was largely due to the price. Perhaps I was expecting something a little bit more robust and fancy for my money, because yes, it is a rather expensive toy. However, once I put the copter into action I was more than happy with my purchase. It is so unlike any other radio operated flying toy I had ever tried before, and that is mainly down to the tech. The controls are smooth and not over sensitive which makes flying the drone easy and fun.

I wish the battery life was somewhat longer, but it’s not such a deal breaker. A hefty price tag, but a whole heap of fun!
