CES 2010 Parrot AR.Drone in Action

[silvan3141592]

This Quadrocopter is bullshit!!!! My ones was flying for a week! Then i coudnt start anymore! 300$ for nothing! I've already actualized the software twice, pressed the reset butten 100 times, I tried everything! And when this Drone was flying, it was very unstable (with wind) and I lost the control in about 10 meters!! DON'T BUY THIS!!! If you don't trust me, search in the web: everybody gots problems with it.

[77bubba00]

@silvan3141592 Haven't had one problem with mine. Maybe you got a dud



[TheFord727]

@tutandgaming $300.00 and free shipping

[TutandGaming]

what is the price?

[44insane44]

How does he get it to follow the card he is holding? I would like to use this in some filming I am doing. Could i put the colored card on my person and move around having it follow my movements?

[grzib]

But will it blend?

[kragle2008]

they should hack an xbox 360 put ipad emulator on it and away you go! :D epic...

[lespaulfreak616]

Will it blend?

[tarkinfish]

@lespaulfreak616 I wouldn't want to see such a beautiful creation blended D:

[ryan11540]

wtf Pricing wasn't available and if you have to ask, it probably is too much for you! what that went to mean i have 500m in da bank i think i can buy one and i might for my son for his birthday

[Reallaty]

wow this is the first time i've seen such an ignorant comment in a description. it says "Pricing wasn't available and if you have to ask, it probably is too much for you! ;)". I asked for the price of the cereal and it wasn't too much for me. I asked for the price of the bananas and it wasn't too much for me. I asked for the price of the Itouch and my computer and it still wasn't too much for me. Too bad i can't really reply to the channel owner. But if you see this. SHUT THE FUK UP.

[pandor95]

круто во бы такую но у нас бешеных денег стоит

[bluetorch13]

it's 90min charge, and you can use Android too, not only iPhone. So... don't believe highest rated comments all the time.

[spyhunterx]

@JiMaNeYbOb This technology is already used in warfare. Americans already have such technology . And believe it or not , it's too called the "drone" . Lol.

It can fire ammunition , record/spy from far, and better, it can see through houses using infrared/radiation technology.

[spyhunterx]

Btw. Did not mean to say dumb English men. Sorry. You guys are pretty smart. Ha

[JiMaNeYbOb]

@spyhunterx 15 minutes flight time actually! ;)

and tbh its not dumb technology, its the future.

Think about the advantages in warfare ect...

[spyhunterx]

@JiMaNeYbOb yes, but this technology was already introduced . A long time aggoo.

[spyhunterx]

Dumb Technology made by English men. No offense mate.

1) It's old 2) It's Expensive 3) it's freaking useless man. And the fact that you need Wi-Fi to control that thing is not good at all. Also didn't you notice it only have 10mins flight time.

Only good thing about the AR drone is the integrated mini game.

[fmasterish]

its 400 dollars in australia right now. I'm so getting one

[mccull49]

where is the video (flying the ar drone with a 5 channel radio)?

[BOHODEVO]

It's an occasion to show his own intelligence or stupidity.

High intelligence design for stupid people, money make not the difference.

[tavitooo]

Yo tengo uno de esos pero me compre otra bateria mejor de 1300mah para que me dure mas de 15 minutos normalmente el que trae de fabrica dura 8 minutos. Yo compre la bateria en HobbyKing punto com ahi encontraran baterias SUPER BARATAS!!!

[Skyathaniel]

*man playing man: this is so cool *drone out of control man: Oh shit, dont go to the girl's toilet *drone went in *man looks at his i phone man: well atleast i got a good view *drone ran out of power and fell man: OH SHIT !!! *Women scream man: damn !! *Busted

[Valllick]

hey does 2200 mah lipo work fine or is it bad for the drone

[DurpBox]

Whoever said it charges for 12-25 hours is an idiot.

Mine charges for 30 minutes and flies for 10

[Omar6890]

@DurpBox how much did you pay for it?

[PPVidmaxx]

@Omar6890 It costs 300€ but i don't know how many pounds i'm German!

[vexedrex555]

charges for 24 hours, use for 5 mins.... wonderful!!

[joedirtyy]

it doesnt charge for 12 hours it takes maybe a hour and a half

[Dorisequador]

These are the cars of the future..

[spotman30]

your mom is my favorite gadget

[mrhdb1]

we bought 2 extra batteries and a LIPO battery charger. We did have to alter the connection between the battery and the drone but it reduced charging time to only 25 minutes. Subsequently, we are able to fly continuously. With the occasional battery switch of course.

[ninja2231]

i would work for testing the plane

[MrSymondavis]

Dev Drone alert.



[HomieG75]

I will buy this when you can fly it for 12 hours at a time and you can fly it like 12 miles away and stalk your coworkers while they're at home. It will totally freak them out.

[selraith123]

what an overpriced piece of crap

[Asovo]

THIS THING IS CARP HAS A LOT OF PROBLEM !! POOR TECH SUPPORT!! THINK FIRST BEFORE YOU WANT BUY IT, THIS CRAP DON'T WORTH $299! ..WHY? BECAUSE I HAS ONE BUY IT FROM BROOKSTONE AND JUST FLY IN 2 DAYS THEN HAVE THE SELF MAIN-BOARD PROBLEM NOW I AM STILL WAITING FOR FIX MY DRONE!!!!! POOR TECH SUPPORT!! DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS!! SO, WHY YOU WANT WAST $300 FOR BUY THIS CRAP??

[ZA1Nable]

@Asovo No, it's not a fish.

[Cslimo4you]

the reason I ask is I'm thinking with a computer maybe the quality of the image can be better quality vs Iphone

[Cslimo4you]

can I the ar drone be controlled from a computer????

[BallsOnFire83]

POWER DRAIN  FAIL

[doctordarcy]

Mine charges in under an hour, and after 15 minutes, I've had enough fun to wait another hour. Best 300$ I've ever spent.

[kawaihui]

Toy for Rich Kids. Need about $2000 to play for an hour non-stop.(4 x 15 minutes).

[quicksetup]

@kawaihui 300€

[Heorhii]

Terminator world is here ;) finally

Good to go guys ;)

[omnianti0]

@Heorhii remind that terminator movies doesnt mention about battery autonomy <

in the mind of humanity end man can think about nuclear power

but in the case of human owned robotic then fuel engine allow the half hour autonomy with near to instant reload time

[Heorhii]

@omnianti0 we can imagine only - what is going to be happened with our future ;)

[Ec130Rhine]

i was wondering if u can sale me one of those drone that came in the white box!! i have a drone from brookstone but i was going to sale it if u can sale me a ar drone the one that came in the white box with the blue n black shell!!

[4eles1]

Ever think about buying an extra battery or 4? so stop yelling....

[rsanchez112789]

charge for 90 mins, use for 12 mins actually. Those are the release specs of the drone.

[applesweeter]

Dear All,

I have some questions about psychology:

(1) Why do we love to fly RC planes?

(2) What is the motivation to have a flying toys for amusement in our office?

(3) How does this AR Drone plane encourage the well-being, motivation & team dynamics of employees?

(4) Why do we like to play social-interacting toys, such as AR Drone?

(5) How can AR Drone be used in charitable and humanitian purposes?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

[omnianti0]

@applesweeter evry question answer is learn to pilot vtol for all purpose including carryng people and material and weapon for evry task possible including humanitary and war

i do it with cheap infrared model helico and im now a pilot and dont need more to buy this devices if not real use(as camera spy or aerial photo)

[jimmybob137]

yo icans keep tabs on all my whoes wif dis bitch!

[MatrixFactoryGuy]

I hope this thing flies into my backyard...I will shoot it down...and you out $300

This has already been banned in 17 countries....and outlawed in 33 states in america

So many morons will buy this shitt..and it will get caught in powerlines, trees etc... you dumbshitts think you outside flying an Xbox or Playstation rofl

sucker born every day

[disillusions]

@MatrixFactoryGuy

lol you may want to consider shooting one down. With as many folks interested in weaponizing it, it may not be a good idea trying to provide them with some actual motivation in that regard. An anonymous flying BB gun or rotten egg bomber is apt to become a real nuisance for you (:

[chadius6061]

@MatrixFactoryGuy you are a moron.... there is no difference between this and a damn remote control airplane.

[GunSinMovies]

@MatrixFactoryGuy

-"This has already been banned in 17 countries....and outlawed in 33 states in -america"

And where did that info come from, if i might ask?

[TheColdplayUnheard]

Is there gonna be an idrone update :)

[WrightyVideos]

Does this song remind any1 eles of scooby1961 ? lol

[SktRat4life]

only 15 minutes to spy on the hot girl in your neighbor hood?

[FRApp44300]

300 bucks + iphone/ipad/itouch (if not possessed) for 15min of fun = NOT WORTH IT

[XsONourFACEs]

seriously i see some bad shit ahead with this. i think every girl will be checking their window curtains are shut... you get the idea ^^

[darkrigh3]

they should make a life-size one where people can get in it :D

[Lekter]

this product will fail, sorry, NEXT!?

[Lekter]

15 minutes is too short, call me when you come up with a 5 hour limit

[rcvideogamer]

@Lekter truly this alone sucks but if you can recreate the app a bit and fix up the platform you can do tons of things with this.put better engines more power bigger batteries a second camera and be able to hook up to another iphone then a BB gun.then again with everything i just said now you have an attack chopper.

[924RARChevette]

It's only 299, saw it for sale the other day.

[Lekter]

@924RARChevette ONLY 299, what r u rich or something?

[uralegend987]

Dear Santa... DAMN IT! I also need an i-phone.

[GLT089]

@uralegend987 Or ipod touch! :P 4g just came out this week for 230$

[kingGgame]

@uralegend987 now android can do it to!

[MrDdias73]

@kingGgame i have g2 and android dont support it .will not connect

[Artemistfei]

@uralegend987 or even better... andriod

[filthyrusty]

@uralegend987 windows laptops also work :)

[makneltek]

with a little bit of pregraming and electral knoledge you can build one too from a hobby shop. Of course i think the hardest part would be the GUI programming the way they have it. As far as the electronics, you buy boards with gyroscopes and all the funstuff built in already.

why not add some light weight solar panels might help keep up a better flight time

[rcvideogamer]

@makneltek i know right i had this idea for a while about to get a job just to fund it ,thinking i would be the first one on my block to have one bam this shit comes out.well my plans are screwed.

[LukeMorrowindmods]

15 min flight time wtf thats kinda crap



[dragonworld2008]

I got Idears that can inprove this thing ha ha ha

[chriseb4s3rc]

thats just too sick dude

[ratchetglitcher09874]

Here come the HAX!

[solidrock63]

The military have been working with this for years and its a lot better. So for those people surprised about this, you guys have been living under a rock.

[McDeeViouz]

@solidrock63 ..UNDER A "SOLID ROCK? >.<

[solidrock63]

@McDeeViouz lol irony.

[zheng1985]

next generation could set a fire control station or device on that platform . and we could add weapons we like on it . like pistol or sniper gun ,

Press one button , it will kill the person you dont like easier .

[081091Barricade]

say hello to skynet.......lol

[STBNY]

15 min battery life?? blah thats too little >:[ i would mod this . i'll add an extra battery. when battery #1 is on 2% , battery #2 would instantly be switched on while battery #1 charges by solar power.

[flamesofnoobs]

Creepin' just got a new tool.

[PrimateDynasty]

make it just a little bit bigger and it will rank right up with all the UFO footages!!

[flappy710]

Ok first they start out with these, and then people are going to go crazy with the technology and make something crazy which will probably start with it having more agility to go into public bathrooms...

[SilentAsian77]

if i never saw this vid i bet i would shit my self if i saw one of these in real life

[McDeeViouz]

CHARGE FOR 12 HOURS, USE FOR 15 MINUTES....BRILLIANT!!!

[rTZink124]

@McDeeViouz ikr, also its said to run upwards of 700$!! just 4 the coptter and app

[STBNY]

@McDeeViouz indeed.. lmao

[djconex]

@McDeeViouz Who said 12 hours? from what i know it uses a 3S Lipo battery, which can be rechard on 1 Hour!

[loonerBot]

@McDeeViouz Actually, you charge for 90 minutes and fly for 12 minutes. Not too unreasonable.

[RunnerLasting12]

@loonerBot wait, do you know if after 12 minutes you have to buy a new battery.Or do you just recharge it?

[loonerBot]

@RunnerLasting12 You just recharge.

[RunnerLasting12]

@loonerBot yeah,my bad that was my first vid on the AR.Drone and the second vid a dude sayed that each battery last 15 mins so get more batterys. Peace

[TrenchCoatMafia33]

@loonerBot Are you serious?

[sapachino]

@McDeeViouz why dont u think of somethin better u fuckin smartass

[RunnerLasting12]

@McDeeViouz its 1 hour 30 mins stupid.

[MrMuecke123]

Its 1.1/2 hour for 15minutes...think about a 2.accu and u'll be fine. 4rotor-engines, 2cameras,wlan and a 468mhz processor with a lot of sensors and 128mb memory needs a little bit more energy...not like a 2 engines rc-car.

[legoguy20]

@MrMuecke123 true... true...

[TOMTEC123]

@McDeeViouz 12 hours ??? 90 min...

[gerduwe100]

the biggest shit dirt for nintendo wi

[rcflight13]

Give it proximity sensors, a "roaming" as well as a "follow me" mode and a auto recharge. Then you can charge me as much as you want, I'll still get one way or another.

[TheBlahblahman101]

God bless the french

[jam3s126]

yh wot happens if it becomes selfaware cud av a gang of these things flying across the country giving people free hair cuts lol buh i still want 1 haha

[MrQuantum1]

a pedo's favorite thing

[IanasAnd]

Skynet

[thestrugglewithin]

@IanasAnd

Its kinda funny (or scary?) that so many robotic systems and this quadrocopter are running on linux systems.

[rcvideogamer]

@IanasAnd SKYNET!!!!!!!!!!

[greengrendel]

It's alive!

[YTCstudios]

It's a miniature UAV.there's a spy UAV that's identical to it's indoor mode

[Shabaka87]

whats the point of it...? you can by a $5 rc helicopter at toys r us

[mtube620]

@Shabaka87 same opinion over here too.

[MrCati]

This whole industry could get a boost in sales if someone would create a business that caters to journalist that could use these devices while filming or recording what is being seen from high above so as not to be stopped by police or to be seen getting coverage of some area that may be off limits or too dangerous to travel in.

Place a microphone on this device along with special cameras and the internet journalist will become high tech information seekers with real "TOYS" to get the info.

[mtube620]

@MrCati go listen to one without the background music.

[moiriv415]

wow they re-invented a helicopter.

[TillysMaster]

Cools as hell but...

What's the expected battery life / flying time.

How much external "wind" can it tolerate?

[m3209k]

@TillysMaster Battery life / flying time up to 15 minutes....

[SuperChuckinator]

how do u find out how much it costs?

[girlonwork]

@SuperChuckinator check the websiede i think 300$ but you only can steer it with ipod and iphon with wi-fi

[SegSniper]

Nice heli))

I know, you cancontrol it only with iPhone

[omnianti0]

less or more than 1000$ ?

[eminem1022]

@omnianti0 waaaaaaaay less

[omnianti0]

i check the price of the same model without camera or wifi and its 130euro (160$) good camera is same price

good wifi too

and apple liscence 3* more then maybe only 666$ for parrot ar.drone ?

[iDontJailbreak]

@omnianti0 What model costs 160$?

[mtube620]

@iDontJailbreak 299 USD

[omnianti0]

@iDontJailbreak after seeing this video i buyed a model with remote infrared for 80€ but the 3axis gyro was out and i get back my money but i will buy a descent radio remoted model as found (for exemple the Walkera UFO 5# 2.4ghz RC Flying Object or the art-tech k22(nice)

[vanjastanic]

AWWSOOMMEEE

[genie52]

I look ant this.. and there goes Terminator flying machines in my mind....
