Abstract: Remember the cool but wacky Parrot AR.Drone ? That flying "quadricopter" controlled by an iPad , iPhone or iPod Touch is back for round two. The AR.Drone 2.0, hitting Australian shelves in June , now records HD video, is easier to control and is less like...
Abstract: Parrot, like many tech vendors, decided to put on a show for CES attendees. And its was in the form of an orchestrated air show, with eight AR Drone 2.0s all moving in unison to music.The latest AR Drone is hardly new. The 2.0 model was introduced last ye...

As far as drones go, you're not going to get much more accessible or inexpensive as the AR Drone. But it's still three bills — and Parrot's shortcomings on service aren't instilling consumer confidence. Updated software is meant to fix the loss-of-altitud...
New absolute control system, HD video recording, A whole lot of fun
12 minute battery life, Susceptible to damage, Expensive
Parrot's wacky AR.Drone 2.0 flying quadricopter provides a far better control system than the original model, making it much easier to fly. However, its build quality remains questionable, battery life is poor and it is pretty expensive for what is essent...
Abstract: For a while I had been looking at buying one of the AR Drones from Parrot. I had just about fell off my chair when I get an email from the guys at needITwantITgadgIT asking if we would like to do a review for one.I had been looking online before taking it...
Abstract: The unusual shape of the Drone means it can sometimes be difficult to recognise where the front of the quadricopter lies, and so orientating your movements to ensure you're always headed in the right direction could be tough with older models. The Drone 2...

Abstract: Anyone who read my last review of a drone knows I'm not a Top Gun pilot. I'm not Maverick nor Iceman. Hell, I'm not even Goose.The last time I was handed the controls of a drone I narrowly missed taking a small child's head off, before crashing it into...
Abstract: Parrot's AR Drone 2.0 has to be the ultimate in mobile accessories. Controlled via smartphone or tablet, the Drone puts out an HD live feed from a front-mounted camera to your smart device. There is other Bluetooth and Wi-Fi-controlled gadgetry out there,...
Hugely entertaining at first, iOS and Android compatible, Integrated HD camera
Glitchy app, Expensive, Shortlived entertainment lifespan
The Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Power Edition is fun, it is fast and it is nimble, but it is also hugely expensive and the entertainment is short lived. Plough your £300 into the ground a couple of times and it soon looks a little worse for wear. Put up with the ...

Bloody good fun, reasonably easy to control, fast and agile,
Expensive, improved battery life is still a bit short, losing it is a constant worry
When we started we asked if this was the sort of thing we'd buy. The answer is "hell yes", but with a couple of important caveats. First, it's not cheap at £300, and while it's very well built, there's always the chance that you'll send it off into...
