Reviews for Parrot AR.Drone 2.0

My kids got me the AR Drone 2.0 for father's day from the Apple Online Store....Had the best father's day out at the beach with this toy. It was so easy to control and responded to commands from my iPad without any delay. Very stable & easy to fly..i felt like en expert flying RC's after just 5mins. Very robust. I crashed twice but it left not even a hint that it crashed. Indoor use is even better. I can maneuver around furniture with great ease. But one now and enjoy it forever. Video functions works really well. Fun, Fun, Fun!

I bought one and banged it up pretty well. finally broke a part. While I wait for replacement part I bought another one. this is a must have toy if you are a 37 year old kid or older

its amazing so stable and its very durable i had one little crash and not even a slight damage
very happy and i can fly like a pro its very easy to fly i recommend this thing and its will worth the $$
even though its pricey but its fun as im very happy with it

The best flight toy since X-Plane! Am on my third one... one is early model without betterments, one is in the top of a tree in my back yard and unaccessable, and a newer model. Many improvements make this Drone easy to fly (after you get the hang of it). I fly it every day. Be sure and order a set of extra props and gears.

Have fun... lots of fun!

Hey for all those people that say this is no good, they need there head examined! I am paralyzed from the neck down and I can control this with my only moving finger right from my wheelchair with no problems. This does everything it says it's supposed to and flies so easily. I used to fly RC professionally before I was injured and this thing is amazingly nimble. The only con is battery life at 12 minutes. This is equivalent to anything on the market, but it's so much fun I recommend an extra!

I was skeptical in buying this seeing as its $300... Glad I did! It's awesome! The technology in this is amazing. Even on windy days it still can fly (just wouldn't recommend flying too high). The camera isn't breathtaking, but its really good considering its small and attached to a helicopter! Bottom camera though is horrible. Not even worth using. I'm a beginner flyer and it was pretty easy for me to pick up and use. Battery doesn't last long, buy a spare. A lot of technology to power up, doesn't surprise me. All in all, glad I got it!

I have had many RC toys-- planes (now toothpicks), boats and cars-- and this is the easiest, most rugged, and the most capable.

Some software features will make use of iOS devices which have GPS chips and also those with Internet connection (like the iPad Mini with cellular capability), but if your device lacks those, it will not detract from the flying and video abilities.

Ease: With half a charge remaining, I landed, handed my iPad to a friend who had never flown any such craft before, gave him thirty seconds of instruction, and away he went, only landing when the battery ran low.

Rugged: My indoor shell and blades show signs of contact with solid surfaces, but no repairs have been needed as a result. My outdoor shell is pristine despite equal use. That is why I felt comfortable handing the controls over to an inexperienced friend. I checked, and parts are inexpensive and available at my local hobby shop, at Apples Stores, and online. Many videos on how to repair (easy) and modify the Drone are on YouTube.

Capable: I can pilot the Drone to any point in space within its (~50 meter) range or land it with precision on its own box. For show-- I fly it close and then pet it as it hovers beside me before sending it off again. The videos are great and in HD.

iPad: Of course, I really like my iPad Mini. Some users claim to get better flying range from an iPhone, but whatever range difference their may be has not been an issue for me.
