Does this Parrot Ar 2.0 drone break down a lot
I heard it has trouble with computer
- Asked by Daniel C from Eau Claire

Answer
Starting out as a novice and now after about 40 flights: While I have collected some scratches, there have been no breakdowns, no parts to replace, and no decrease in performance. The indoor hull does its job (and it shows!) and the outdoor hull assumes the user is aware of any threatening obstacles.
Mine once did battle with a lampshade, and the lampshade had to be replaced, but the Drone was fine (and, perhaps I detected, a little smug, afterwards). Yes, it is tough.- Answered by Walter C G from Austin

What is the difference between the Drone and the Drone 2.0 besides the ability to record/share images/video?
With the price being exactly the same for both models (and the weight not listed for the Drone 2.0), if the only difference is the ability to record and share video and images, wasn't that just a software upgrade?

Answer
You can optionally 'pair' the drone with your phone. By default it is promiscuous, which is convenient, but you can meet your needs by pairing.

can the ar 2.0 carry a payload of 6 oz.?
- Asked by Dalton M from Tyler
- 30-Nov-2012
- Flag as inappropriate
Answer
I have read the payload is approximately 250g (about 8 ounces) and that seems about right.
I have pressed down on the hull of my hovering Drone and the resistance was probably very close that that measurement. However, payloads increase power needs, which increase motor and battery heat and shorten flight-time, and probably shorten the life of motors and battery. They also decrease the stability and flight characteristics.
Examples of payload additions and modifications, including additions of Go-Pro cameras, are abundant on the Internet.- Answered by Walter C G from Austin

How faer away can it fly from your phone? I live on a 150 bluff above 100ft tree's can it fly above the trees?
- Asked by Thomas G from Rochester
- 24-Sep-2012
- Flag as inappropriate
Answer
yes you can fly just above the trees but I would not try it. losing a product like this would be a huge waste of money. The drone can fly 160ft away from you and probably a little further but the connection may not last compared to what's around you.

I have both an iphone and ipad. Which device would be easiest to learn to fly the drone with?
Is there a difference in ease of training, ease of control or picture quality between using an iPhone or iPad?
- Asked by Richard S from Leesburg
- 25-Dec-2012
- Flag as inappropriate
Answer
I found the ipad easier. But the smaller iPhone may be easier as all controls would be easier to reach. But the I pad has a bigger screen and makes it better to look at the video feed.
