  • It creates it's own wifi network, you just connect on your device.

  • Does it have to be WIFI to connect it to your iPhone/iPad ? Can you not use Bluetooth ? I would use this for different video shots of walking in the mountains, so wifi might be tricky !! :)

  • @chris25119600 the problem with the drone is that if your not using an Ipad you will need to update the firmware. Alas Parrot (who makes the drone) is shipping their products with outdated firmware. Granted it only takes 5 mins to update it with any windows 7 laptop.

  • hmmmm no top comments... HERE IS MY CHANCE!!! uh.. hi.

  • how did you go that far?

  • Where and how did you mount the Go Pro? Thanks

  • ah - see what you mean. Touch one - I got mine in the States for about £200 - now THAT isn't right - isn't it French anyway? Should be cheaper here!

    Anyway - it is expensive - and the fact that you have to have an apple product does not help - I believe they are working on Android? I guess it is'first of its kind' ie: not one of the mega expensive self-build/kit options. Next generation may be cheaper... I want to use it as a film platform to film us mountain biking and with the car on track...

  • GoPro HD

    Maybe called the Helmet now? The top one - not the 170, not the 960

  • Which version?  The HERO 170, 960, or HERO Helmet?

  • if that ran out of battery...smash.....£300 quid wasted

  • @febthemule1 - uh - yes. But it was fully charged! Anyway, the flight app gives you plenty of warning on battery level.

  • @caterhamnut oh k but is the drone worth £300

  • What type of camera is mounted on it? This is very high quality footage.

  • @smoovlatino - GoPro HD. Without the outer shell.

  • Wow nice

  • Hey guys - be careful! In response to this and the question below - not sure I was totally in control getting that high! I mean, I was in control, but I had not intended to go so high. I think a major help was that we were in the middle of no where, so no interference from other wireless devices, clear view of the drone etc etc. Haven't gone that high since! Range and height was certainly pretty big though.

  • It won't be long before I have the balls to take my drone to those altitudes.. It's not a week old yet though!

  • how did you get that kind of range out of it? that was well over 150 feet which is what everything I have read says is max. that was 200+ feet easy. any mods?

  • its like a cheap helecopter ride

  • Comment removed

  • @ccchackalll -mate! You removed it! Was going to ask what you thought this was - a Golden Eagle with a little camera?! ;-)

  • @caterhamnut It looks like a helicopter when it lands...

  • @ccchackalll - got it. If you look at the very first 2 seconds of film, you can see the two blades (left & right ) at the front of the AR Drone, bottom of the pic. I don't have an RC heli - doubt I could fly it if I did. The drone did go high in this clip, but I reckon out in the middle of nowhere there is no wi-fi interference, hence the range/height.

  • @caterhamnut Yep, I removed my comment bacause of that....

  • very cool

  • Awesome video and great flying. Best AR Drone video I have seen.  It looks like a few times the Drone rapidly descended was this your actions or loss of Wi-Fi signal?

  • what happens if you get out of the wifi range will it automatically land itself?

  • crash, crash, crash ;)

    nice vid' an great height!

  • wow nice!

  • It's a bird! It's a plane!....

  • One of ar drone best video

  • Wow, what a great place!! I love how two people on horses stopped to watch. :)

    Why didn't you upload it in 1080p? Can you please?

  • @rogueqd

    Very slow internet out here in the sticks - as soon as I can, I'll upload full HD version!

  • That is COOL!
