The quad-copter creates its own WiFi hotspot that you connect your device to- this just allows for the quad to get faster reaction times, a larger range, and also so it can be controlled by a device other than a traditional contoller.
I hope you guys will add camera tilt to the next AR DRONE. For now I cut some of the foam out from behind the camera to tilt it downwards more. It'd be real nice to have motorized tilt control in the next model. The vertical camera video quality could use an upgrade. Besides that, the AR Drone 2.0 is awesome!
Extended battery can now give around 20min flight times. You may possibly need to upgrade the prop bearings to eek it out a bit further (cheap upgrade for a few dollars).
yes.. do you have the right shell on the drone. if you select outdoor shell and you have the indoor, the flight characteristics are off and it shut down. check to see if this is the problem ok?
I believe there's an add-on just available, (or about to be), which adds GPS capability into it through the USB socket. I'm not sure about the software, but imagine it's probably supported in the new versions or a custom version of the control app.
I wish it could fly longer too...But lets face it, most of today's batteries simply has not caught up to the technology we use for them... Cell Phones, Electric Cars and so forth...Having said that, this machine is a great piece of tech. I love how mine will just hover in place if I don't give it any commands. It's like a mini space ship... I love my 2.0!
I'm guessing that while using the APP to control the Drone, you are not able to view live streaming video from the Drone via the App, is that correct? That the App lets you view video After the fact somehow downloaded from the Drone but not live, or am I wrong here?
2. go back to where it took off or/and go back to the flier while flying but not STRAIGHT in the direction of the flier but retracing the route so it does not crash (so 1. and 2. about automated flying in directions not just stabilization.)
It goes into emergency landing mode. I haven't tried losing range yet, but a friend of mine who also has the 2.0 said it's safe because of the emer land mode.
oh - and I forgot to mention, there's couple of methods to increase range (that I've seen working proof of). One way is to use a wifi repeater with a good signal/antenna (though not seen it used at such a long range as 2 miles). Also there is a radio control module upgrade kit, to extend range to around 2 miles.
3. a meter in the app in REAL TIME that allows you to see what altitude it is at AND how far away it is. 4. object tracking tracking?flying in the direction of the stickers that came in the box (the double colored stickers to use it battles and races) or a print out being able to land on it 5. to be able to change km/h to mh/h in graphic/telemetric data
So Ive seen a few videos of people flying them too high and loosing signal and therefore all control. Is it defaulted to keep hovering until its out of batteries? or does it do an emergency landing?
I'm a Rancher, Solar Farmer & LAND OWNER, LIKE 8 SQUARE MILES. My properties are up to 2 mile square. What is the distance this thing can fly, and can we just program a square or GPS #s into it to fly to a set # of GPS points and return?
I don't have one but in every video i have seen of it, you watch whats going on through the camera while flying it. That's partly why its so expensive i think.
New features that should be in the next update to the app and firmware for the AR Drone. 1. make record/routes and play routes (routes = what direction to go like go forward turn right ascend up would be recoded by going forward, turning right, and ascending up)
This doesn't rely on internet whatsoever! The drone itself generates its own "internet-less" wi-fi Network which it then used by the Android/iPhone/iPad to control the drone.
Yes it supports Android. You just download the supporting app from the android market... I pilot my Drone 2.0 with my HTC Inspire...the 4.3inch screen on my phone makes it a breeze...
Height It Can Fly To: 100 Meters Battery(depending on Hd or Standard):Hd is around 11 minutes, standard is around 15 to 20 minutes which is the standard for most drones Cost: around $200 - $300 What happens when it goes out of signal? The drone hovers until you reconnect if you dont reconnect in time your drone will hover down and land. Same goes for if you run out of battery it will land. I never quite tested the speed of it but its around 5 meters per second( 11mph) You may be wondering what the outdoor hull serves well the outdoor hull has less surface area making a smoother flight in windy or harsh weather. If you want smooth footage just simply turn down the tilt angle and it will be alot less shaky but alot slower great for cinematic shooting. yes you can use android or iphone to control it. it can be bought off of ebay, amazon or the website (YES I DO HAVE ONE :3) if you want to ask me more questions just reply :3 THANKS!!!

Yes sorry for this issue! We do love Canada.
Thanks for your feedback!
There is kind of that. Absolute control, which takes it back to you when you point your device towards you.
The drone actually makes a hotspot that you connect your phone or tablet to. No extras needed!
This is the first time we're showing the USB port and the FLIP!

How far is the wifi range? I was hesitant to get one because I thought it could only fly around the house but these videos show it flying everywhere!
Yes in USA, Canada, Germany, France...
Cool! Thanks for clarifying what this nifty drone thing does.

i really like the background song, can you tell me the name and the artist?

When will it be available for sale in Australia??
That feature makes it very cool, IMO. i.e. a remote controllable flying camera!

Good suggestion. This will be implemented on AR. Drone 3.0 later in future.. =P

ARdrone, Before I purchase one, Does the app require an active wifi signal from a router. Or does the app make a hotspot with your phone?
you should have some retailers in your country who sell them, but yes it's shipping worldwide.
How about using it in Austria? Are there any legal restrictions?
Just got one, played with my son. Great fun.
One question, how to delete the video in my iPad ?
It goes into emergency landing mode. I haven't tried losing range yet, but a friend of mine who also has the 2.0 said it's safe because of the emer land mode.

I want to make one you can sit in and pilot. How do you build a controller for that?
any advantage of one shell over the other?
No the bottom camera is still there.
3. a meter in the app in REAL TIME that allows you to see what altitude it is at AND how far away it is.
4. object tracking
tracking?flying in the direction of the stickers that came in the box (the double colored stickers to use it battles and races) or a print out being able to land on it
5. to be able to change km/h to mh/h in graphic/telemetric data
Will there be new products coming anytime soon I'd like to know thanks
not sure but it says on their website that it has live video streaming
Yes! free App on Android
So Ive seen a few videos of people flying them too high and loosing signal and therefore all control.
Is it defaulted to keep hovering until its out of batteries? or does it do an emergency landing?
I'm a Rancher, Solar Farmer & LAND OWNER, LIKE 8 SQUARE MILES. My properties are up to 2 mile square. What is the distance this thing can fly, and can we just program a square or GPS #s into it to fly to a set # of GPS points and return?
The GPS add-on would do that for you
When is it coming out for the windows phone?
it comes prebuilt.. And the controller is your iphone or android phone.
is it out yet??
I don't have one but in every video i have seen of it, you watch whats going on through the camera while flying it. That's partly why its so expensive i think.
Is it shipped worldwide ? I'm from Maldives can i order one ??? please reply !
It's out. I just got mine in Boise ID. I called other places and it's not out yet
No, you do see the live streamed footage.
Is there a "Go back to me" button ? (If you don't know where is your drone)
la musique est pas le role premier dans une video expliquant les catacteristique du drone --'
New features that should be in the next update to the app and firmware for the AR Drone.
1. make record/routes and play routes (routes = what direction to go like go forward turn right ascend up would be recoded by going forward, turning right, and ascending up)
It can go pretty fast, and it can go slow.
It's very versatile.
In June
can you use the ar drone with any android device?
Thinking of getting this instead of the actual Dragonfire drone
for how long can it fly?
do you have to fly it with an ipad of can you use and iphone
This doesn't rely on internet whatsoever! The drone itself generates its own "internet-less" wi-fi Network which it then used by the Android/iPhone/iPad to control the drone.
Yes it supports Android. You just download the supporting app from the android market... I pilot my Drone 2.0 with my HTC Inspire...the 4.3inch screen on my phone makes it a breeze...
You are wrong there is live feed coming from the drone...
yes you can and any android device
Now I want one of these with a front mounted minigun...
Que distancia lejos del operador puede llegar el Drone?.
100 m
it makes its own hotspot
u can use any android smartphone..
Shall i buy a controller to use without wifi??

thumbs up if you have the 1.0 and youre like,"shit, i shoulda waited for this..."
Does it support Android?
Well I suppose you could mod it but then again if your gonna go through that trouble just buy or make one
you can view live
How much FPS?
30 FPS?
Could anyone clear my doubt.
How far could the drone fly
Mine can fly around 100yds, but it really depends on the strength of your Wi-Fi receiver in your phone
200 ft height limit approx
I'm fairly sure it doesn't, but possibly a playbook might be able to run the Android app? Anyone tried it?
whats the name of the Track please ?
Visions of Abraxas I also want to know. Already discovered?
Too bad the batterie only lasts 8-10 minutes. I wish you could fly it for longer.
too bad it's only reaching 165feet/50meters away from the control..
to buy the drone that is
SOME 1 PLEASE TELL ME HOW FAST IT GOES
Awesome
Imagine to have this in an airsoft battle.
nice
I think we'll need a bigger drone.
Its A Bit Loud...
How does he have internet in the middle of nowhere?
Errrrr...Guess you're right then.Seems the best option is a quad-rotor (it's a millitary ar-drone) :/
Mcdonald is always hiring :)
