AR.Drone 2.0 - Blue Hull

the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 UAV is the latest evolutions of the well known personal UAV that can be controller with a smartphone or a tablet over Wifi. After having made personal UAVs popular and affordable for individuals, Parrot, the French company improved its concept and the technologies that are embedded on the AR.Drone for more sensations.

Compared to the previous generation, the AR.Drone 2.0 UAV brings the following features:

• HD camera, 720p, 30 frame per second
• 92° wide angle lense
• On-the-Fly video recording on your device or USB storage
• Direct upload to Youtube and Picasa
• 3 exclusive pilot modes: Absolute Control, Assisted and Acrobatic

The Smartphone or tablet control is always so intuitive (Iphone, Ipod Touch, Ipad, Android, Nokia, Samsung,...) and the AR.Drone is very easy to use for beginners and advanced users, pilots from all levels will find a way to improve their skills and make acrobatic moves.

the AR.Freeflight 2.0 application, the main software used to control the AR.Drone also improved a lot in terms of compatibility, performance and offers the ability to have absolute control on your UAV, but also to save your best sequences as HD pictures or videos and to share them directely with other users over the world.
