Parrot AR.Drone in action at E3

[Crazyfreak424]

AR DRONE,PS3 with a shitload of games,A Flat screen TV VS having a baby....i hate my life :S

[TonyStark57]

AWESOME !!!!

[CephalopodsRock]

What are the range on these things?

[hogguy7]

I got this morning and it's freakin awesome

[BBallinManiac]

I don't understand why they would use wi-fi transmitters when they could have just used bluetooth instead. they are much more simple and would have definitely made it cheaper

[MrDustinwashere]

For heli copters and you can fly them 50 meters in any direction

[MrDustinwashere]

For all you guys they are very durable for he

[hines621]

The material is Styrafoam... I just got one this morning.

[lemonwarriar]

Tech can be sexy like when you open a computer case and see whats inside while the computers on i think its pretty sexy

[delta0036]

2:08 and 0:46 woman and technology.... they don't match

[jamesedwardtheobald]

@delta0036 ya, what are they thinking? technology is not supposed to be sexy, and we all know that sexy women don't like tech; she must be a plant! :D

[manunited20o]

the vat is something like €58 so you cant blame apple for wanting to make money

[soundafekz]

I think every male watching knows what they are going to do with this >:D

[jsanford91]

they shoulda called the I-drone tehe

[BO3ASKARQ8]

1 hit on the wall = EXPIRED !! 

[epicfail5497]

wth..same thing happend at 00:47 and at 2:06

[Frostbite720]

whats the range on these things? how far could I fly one before it lost connection with my iDevice?

[semister5226]

Gotta make that battery longer, and probably lessen the cost and get a remote for the people who don't have those fancy "Upods" and "Upads"

[nixkuroi]

The only thing I wish is that the camera were higher def and that I could take video from it without jailbreaking my phone or iPad.

[airsoftmarxman]

u can move it with your hands using the sensors cool i know

[Longbeardx]

@schriijfmemaar55 You know how expansive the contents is? Think about the 2 cameras and all the other shit that makes this "nice to fly"

Because of the "plastic" that its made of the drone gets easier to fly, and faster. Did that answer your question?.....

[kingsam001]

foward to all everyone something better and cheaper nitroplanes check it really nice

[vdiablo91]

If it works with wi-fi, than i cant go out and play in the forest. If it works whit bluetooth, than it cant fly away more than 10m.

=/

[dennild]

@vdiablo91 it makes it own wifi

[griddamus]

military survellance use is where this will shine

[beancube2010]

@griddamus If they are programmed for automated petrol around compounds, they are very handy. How about programming them to confuse the real military Drone? Of course, you need to mix these toys with some real ones which are capable to fire guns to destroy those from Pentagon. When you have number and positions covering spaces, they are very good for anti-Drone defense.

[griddamus]

@beancube2010 I have heard since that the US already have these guys as they are, save for better batteries for surveillance into places they can't get soldiers, so now they can multitask!

[giansantiago]

it looks like it works like an RC so you can probably hot wire this with a 11.1v 5000mah 30C lipo

[schrijfmemaar55]

nice to fly, to expensive to buy .......

The material is nothing more then plastic ..... so why the high price ??????

[bluetorch13]

@schrijfmemaar55 Proximity sensors, accelerometer, 2 cameras and Wifi...

[aeiou0500]

@schrijfmemaar55 Costing based on number of expected sales.

[pereduranofcourse]

@schrijfmemaar55 it looks like plastic, but all the sensors and things are worth loads... ;)

[TheFooxxxx]

@schrijfmemaar55 stupid noob...think about the technologie!!!

[MrJarrapain55]

@TheFooxxxx think about the spelling

[TheFooxxxx]

@MrJarrapain55 i am no stupid american...i am from austria noob...

[MrJarrapain55]

@TheFooxxxx =D that explains it then

[gpheonix1]

@schrijfmemaar55 the price aint about the the thing being plastic

besides have you seen the controller looks like and i phone so the cool gameplay and cool flying craft with iphone controller it seems to be a fair price

[swuzz17]

@schrijfmemaar55 probly because of the 2 cameras and the mind blowing technology

[mrkrabz1991]

@schrijfmemaar55 Because the electronic components in it. Has a wifi source, cameras, gyroscope, accelerometer, and a cpu. That doesn't come cheap.

[RoboGeek123]

@schrijfmemaar55 The motors and electronics are ridiculously expensive for RC vehicles.  Also the development costs.

[SoniqueAndy]

@schrijfmemaar55 it´s mostly made of kevlar ..

[oKidJokero]

@schrijfmemaar55 whoa i bet u get a shitload of replies?? ha

[airsoftmarxman]

@schrijfmemaar55 no all u guys it is tough and it has tons of features its worth it

[airsoftmarxman]

@schrijfmemaar55 no all u guys it is tough and it has tons of features its worth it ive played with it its so cool

[soumuitomalandro]

@schrijfmemaar55 Apple.

[EpixBawokLoL]

@schrijfmemaar55 2 small camera's in it and it has quite advanced technology in it for a remote controlled heli

[bipinformprotect]

@schrijfmemaar55 I think the brain behind it makes it too valuable

[SpartanDara117]

@schrijfmemaar55 Think about it...

Its got a built in Wi-Fi transmitter, just like the one in your wireless internet modem or router

4 electronic brushless motors, and individual ESC's and other electronics to monitor their RPM to maintain stability

An onboard computer, with a 500 mhz processor and 128 mb of ram, running a version of Linux, to translate the iphone's movement into commands.

2 onboard cameras, which stream live video at 15 and 30 fps, respectively.

thats a lot of stuff man!

[LeagueofLeets]

@SpartanDara117 Well, you can only use it for 12 mins before the battery runs out then you have to charge it for like 2 hours lol.

[dhkenny2001]

@schrijfmemaar55 cause of what goes is it

[TheLadedaman]

@schrijfmemaar55 all of what SpartanDara117 said, and this thing is made of carbon fiber which is a very high quality material, it is lighter then plastic and way more durable. this thing is not cheap to make either, you should have gone and researched this thing before you called it cheap

[tiptoe3gs]

@schrijfmemaar55 its the apple name

[RocMSocMRabbi]

@schrijfmemaar55 Software, Hardware, has some nice stuff built into it, a camera... Plus the motors, I just got it today pretty amazing.

[Neptutron]

@schrijfmemaar55 Plastic=Lightweight=Getting off the ground

All the price comes from the hardware in it

[ku42]

@schrijfmemaar55 Because of it's technology. I still agree with you on the price though.

[larsverra545]

why flight mode 1 and not 2



[Urhoboman5]

Creepy!

This is supposed to be a toy?

[hazzaza1]

What's it's max altitude?

[RismDez]

how much the battery lasts?

[AkkeDaBest]

@RismDez 20min, buy 2 and you're good to go

[shaklob]

@RismDez 12 mins

[RismDez]

@shaklob 12 mins??? 300$ for 12 mins fun? woa!

[shaklob]

@RismDez hehe eh u can just charge it again and fly for 12 more minutes.. only takes like 1 and half hour ;)

[RismDez]

@shaklob well my point is that except from fun, u wont take anything more from this thing. and 300$ for just 12-20 mins its a lot i think. But its a good idea. if the make a better batery i will think of purchasing it

[idutcher]

300 dollar is cheap.

[goswim88]

i bought one for $400 dont know if its actually

worth that much

[drumadude28]

$300 !?!?! i hope it comes with the ipod touch XD

[rudderducky27]

What i saw the price on them was in a catalog for 300 dollars. Expensive

[Ravster1011]

why are they so much money 400 dollars wow

[KKOPPIBSR]

can the cameras record??

[Ravster1011]

@KKOPPIBSR no

[iamhereforever]

@KKOPPIBSR no cus apple (those fags) restricted it. i so hate apple lol

[MrBeano96]

@KKOPPIBSR im sure you can buy an app for £3 if you search ar drone in the app store. Its logo is orange with a camera style icon on it. double check on the info in the app first though.

[RichBoyBaoTran95]

Japan Had That Last Year! and Korea!

[Philawockeez]

@liqwon1151 these are more stablize, they are made for video stability, if you knock over a heli it doesn't stablizes itself lol... ihad 4 eletrics, and 2 ntiro, none auto stablizing it self so, this is a plus. it have a whole bunch of extra features such as sensors so i say its better than original heli. n this is LIVE video viewing, how ever, if ur making a movie that needs an aggressive view from up high, then a heli would be better, but in most cases, the drone is better

[circuloid]

We are hosting a contest where you can WIN one of these! Check out my channel or circuloid-dot-com. The contest ends on Friday!

[sheldonholy]

Well, this is something any idiot can fly (andi i mean idiot!), but i think it's just better to say that a T-Rex is a real flying machine. This is well... not.

[GETYOURNERDON]

very cool but 300 is alot for some styrofoam and a half hour of flight.

[Metralogia]

soon they will have weapons attached to it... This is looking like the terminator stuff we seen on tv decades ago... all this is happening in real life now before our eyes... Amazing!

[dinnerandashow]

I suppose there is no way of using a WiFi hub in between the ipod and the drone?

Being able to use a WiFi hub would dramatically increase range of signal.

[magicmike1122]

Reminder: Women are not allowed to fly this as seen from 2:06.

[SwedenCraft]

@magicmike1122 It was just a flirt.

[harrynben]

@magicmike1122 and 0:46

[okjamieok]

Is great fun powered by my iphone. Doesnt run for too long. But 300 was quite a rip off

[paintballdude26]

or i can buy a $100 mini camera which is probably going to much better than the piece of shit they have. then buy a $100 rc helicopter and BLAM! i got a cheaper better version of that.

[RoyalsChamp5]

@paintballdude26 Yeah u wish, ur wrong, a helicopter costs way more

[magicmike1122]

@paintballdude26 This thing has sensors to tell it where it is, it has gyros to self stabilize it, and has 2 cameras so if you bought what you say you would buy, this would still be better. Oh and a Rc helicopter is really hard to fly when a quadcopter is fairly simple. Blam

[paintballdude26]

@magicmike1122 I looked at another site and now i can get that setup for $150 half the price, maybe i can buy two cameras instead of one. Oh and a Rc helicopter is easy to fly because the cheap ones are for begginers.

[magicmike1122]

@paintballdude26 your talking to someone who flies drones bro. i fly my rc planes over miles away and the equipment is over 500 for the camera, transmitter, receiver,tv, etc. Oh and yes, cheap helis are easy to fly but do not have enough power to lift the FPV equipment so you will need a 450 sized CP heli which is pretty hard to fly. Oh and whats the site your looking at?

[paintballdude26]

@magicmike1122 bananahobby

i can get a pretty small camera which will be pretty light so i can get a smaller heli to hold it. The camera like i said will be cheap very cheap not even close to 500 dollars.

[magicmike1122]

@paintballdude26 ok well 500 will get you the stuff that will go miles but mayby for 500 feet a cheap spy cam will do the job

[Naturepheonix]

But can the camera record?

if they sell it for 200 plus with recording device in the application, I'm going for it!

[XxvoleistulxX]

300 dolars and u dont even get controller mhmm in my opinion is not worth i repeat my opinion only

[TheBenglm]

Does it come with a remote controll?

[holvala]

@TheBenglm

You control it with the iPhone and I don't think, there is an iPhone with in the box.

So. No. You need an iPhone, iPod, iPad.

[IamFreeRu]

Sucks that it only works in a WiFi area...

[SPBTsnyder]

@IamFreeRu it works everywhere

[IamFreeRu]

@SPBTsnyder only where wifi is set up

[ninjya]

can they do barrel rolls?

[leknubb]

I want the phone more then the flying drone thingy

[TransitTechLA]

@leknubb No, if it goes upside down the engines turn off. Its a copter, if the engines stayed on it would drive it into the ground lol.

[leknubb]

@TransitTechLA

Whaaa? LOL

[TransitTechLA]

@leknubb Thats the way the drone works. If it goes upside down, the engines turn off so that it doesnt operate out of control. Think simple. If the drone is propelled up by forward rotation in the rotors, what would happen if that would reverse?

[leknubb]

@TransitTechLA

Why are you replying to me? :S

[TransitTechLA]

@leknubb Cause you replied to me haha.

[leknubb]

@TransitTechLA

Yes but you started it, I think you replied to the wrong person, I said I wanted the phone, not the drone, someone else was asking if the drone could do barrel roles, which fits your reply better xD

[HotCityRecords]

gimme gimme gimme

[rahulxxx2000]

i love this thing
