Parrot AR.Drone 2.0

This camera-equipped, smartphone- and tablet-controlled quadricopter is worth checking out if you want to spend some cash on a fun gadget but don't just want the newest game system.

Fairly easy to fly and perform stunts with. Camera function is fun. Mobile apps are useful and functional.

Short battery life like most remote-controlled flying toys. Requires a smartphone or tablet. Physical controls are only available with an Nvidia Shield.

The Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 is a nice middle ground between toy and enthusiast device. It's not a remote controlled helicopter for hobbyists and it's not a quadricopter camera mount for professionals, but it's much more than just a toy helicopter. It's...

Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 Review

With the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 you really get some bang for your buck. It has dual high-definition cameras that capture incredible quality video and photos and it's extremely easy to control with just a mobile device and Parrot's app. If you aren't...

You can do barrel rolls, execute U-turns and make high-speed turns, making this drone a ton of fun to control.

The GPS receiver is sold separately.

This sleek drone works for professionals that want to take advantage of the drone's two high-definition cameras, but its ability to pair with your smartphone or tablet makes it attractive for new users too.

Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 quadricopter review

Parrot's wacky AR.Drone 2.0 quadricopter is back for round two

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...

Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Power Edition

This drone's improved battery life lets you take to the skies with added staying power.

Hugely entertaining at first ; iOS and Android compatible ; Integrated HD camera

Glitchy app ; Expensive ; Shortlived entertainment lifespan

Controlled via an app, there are a selection of touchscreen based command options available. With joy pad style controls the standard, you can also choose to use your smartphone’s accelerometer to move the drone forward and back, or side to side. An...

Parrot AR Drone 2.0 Power Edition review

Sometimes technology scares even us. And that's like an arachnologist being afraid of a particularly big spider. But even so, there are some things about technology that are creepy. Take for example that walking military cow thing the Americans have...

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 the...

Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 Elite Edition review

For under £250, you get a lot for your money. First, build quality is in a different league to cheaper quadcopters. The frame is made from nylon and carbon fibre parts, and you get brushless motors which are much more durable and reliable than cheaper...

If you can't afford a DJI Phantom or a Parrot BeBop, the AR.Drone 2.0 is the next-best thing. Its ability to hover and the general high build quality make it worth spending this amount of money.
