Questions & Answers for Parrot AR.Drone 2.0

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.

The resolution is spec'd at 720p... by definition this would be just shy of 1 megapixel assuming a widescreen aspect ratio.

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.

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 would say it is not water proof - I would not submerge it in water, nor fly it in rain.

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.
