O.P GAMING not for me, I just bought it today the battery lasted 15 min and when I put the wheels on the drone wobbled like crazy and wasn't balanced and wouldn't listen to me and go out of control when I didn't even touch the controls worthless junk
My baby niece got this some time ago and she loved it. She played with it all the time, but whenever she took it outside it would rocket off into the sky and she had to kill it right away. We used to joke that it was a bird trying to fly away. Since then she has gotten to fly quads and this on thing sits there gathering dust. I wonder if I crammed a Hubsan FC in there if she would play with it again. lol Great vid as always!
Hey Ryan. Thanks for the video. I just got one of these to play with myself and was watching your review to see some other people's experiences with it. I noticed pretty quick the issue with it occasionally not keeping altitude. I finally realized it was "randomly" gaining altitude when I was flying over the coffee table! So it wasn't that it was doing anything wrong, it just was all of a sudden "closer" to the ground so it would compensate. I also noticed it would go up and down when it was right on the edge of the table. In your video it appears as if it was going up and down when you were real close to the edge of the counter. Just thought I'd share since I too assumed something was wrong at first! Thanks again for sharing the video!
Corey Jones Yeah, but that is not the case here. I was not over the counter, and I've seen it happen numerous times without moving over any other higher surface.
hey Ryan I just got one but I bought the cargo drone by parrot its just like this one except it has prop guards instead of wheels its a newer version I think anyways your right its more of a toy just to show off how stable it is you can't really do any smooth movements like circuits or bank turns, wish they had a real transmitter for this drone it would be so much better cause it is super stable it would be awesome if you just had better control
Hey ben . I've got a parrot mini-drone too . A cargo one like yours and to solve the control issue, I've bonded a nimbus steel bluetooth gamepad onto my device which completely replicates a remote control for an rc quad . Now my mini-drone is more manoeuvrable and i can fly it round my diy obstacle course . I also have tio disagree with flyin ryan on it being just a toy . Unlike most other quads you don't need to TRIM. Every second . Too me this is a excellent trainer for gps quads like the traxxas atom and the dji phantom
I really want to see the hovering technology used in Parrot devices in other quads as well. It would be awesome in small camera quadcopters like the Syma X5C, and definitely for those that like to drift around and not hold a constant altitude.
You have the best review In my opinion it's not a tech toy it took me forever to learn how to fly I'm not against you it just my opinion your videos are amazing keep up the not good but amazing work your the best never forget that
Nice and useful video, I don't see any use for this device, other than as a toy, as you mentioned. I got the airborne cargo, day one. I like it and it suddenly lost power at 40% battery charge and broke one of the propeller. Checking with parrot, whether they can honor the quality or not..!
Thanks for the answer. I started a new channel and I've been looking for different ways to improve my videos. I haven't really done much yet but I hope to
All RC Everything A good camera and lighting can really make a world of difference. Those were the two things that really raised the level of quality in my videos. :)
Enjoyed watching this. But my favorite part has to be when Ryan (the owner of an entire RUclips channel entirely made up of videos of him flying rc quadcopters) says ”it seems kind of pointless” in reference to filming the drone flying around. That was priceless.
Sorry Flyin' Ryan RC, no offense intended at all. I love your channel, I just found the verbiage funny. Since you film flights with rc copters a lot for RUclips, but said it was pointless that they included that feature.
Tony McAfee Oh, I see what you're saying! Haha, yeah, I guess that is a bit hypocritical when it comes to the simple fact of recording your flights, but I was talking more about doing it from a phone while you also try to fly from that same phone.
Totally not meaning to insult you lol But you're spot on, it seems like a silly feature. While I have you, have you used the Blade 350 QX3 with the included AP gimble and camera?
Nallely Rodríguez Unfortunately this one lost bluetooth connection and soared to at least 1000 ft and then crashed back to the earth somewhere. I couldn't find it :(
By Faith Clothing mine won't listen to me and go out of control. When I put the wheels on it wobbled like crazy and wasn't balanced. Then I took it outside and it crashed into me when It took off, then went soaring to the sun till it crashed and bounced 100 feet in the air and broke. I returned it
Great review, Ryan! I really dont like this either, as I am sure flyaway would be traumatising. Its a shame to hear that you've been getting hate from people. For the people to take the time to reply to all your hard work and effort with insults is just sad. Forget them, and continue doing what you do! ;)
Own several phantoms, Vortex, Solo, Iris etc.... Just got this for $60 at Cabbalas. First Parrot. I'm very impressed with the solid construction and sonar sensor. Amazing stability. Definitely worth $60 for sure. would rather have a normal TX tho.
Not bad for $40. 7-8min is actually quite long for a micro quad. You don't want to fly much longer than that because you will overheat the brushed motors and cause them to die. If you want longer flights, get additional batteries, but let the motors cool for a few minutes between flights.
Hello there! we are in 2024 and I bought one. I'm French and I can't find how to start it. Is the battery sold empty? Do you have to recharge a long time for the first time? Thanks for the support! Nice vidéo!
ThexAimless I don't have enough new quads yet for another round-up, and it would be impossible to get my entire collection in one pic (lol), and would take *hours* to take it all out and put it back away. :/ If you follow me on Facebook, I post pics of everything I get, so you can scroll through that album to get an idea of what all I have. :)
hm love how stable this hovers even with those wheels on. too bad you cant use a regular transmitter with sticks as an option. oh my cx-10 finally came in. (took 38 days) it made it through about 4 flights then the little transmitter stopped binding! banggood has told me they will send a new one when they restock though :)
The late 2014 CX-10 seem to be having issues with that. My family got several this past winter and of the 6 of them 2 are having binding issues. Fixed one by re-soldering the antennae, which was hanging, but the other is just a mystery to me!
om mine the transmitter light blinks but doesnt make any noise when you throttle up down to bind i popped it open to see if any soldering joints popped loose but didnt see anything
Hi, one of the prophesied haters here ;) I think your review is spot on in so much as you pointed out that it is a true drone, not really an RC quad. This, however, doesn't mean it's a "tech toy" (at least, any more than a quad is a toy) People WILL no doubt use them as toys, but Parrot has ensured they can contribute much more to the world. Teaching kids to program ensures they have a bright future, and ensures that the engineers of the future will exist. Parrot includes a simple visual programming language, so that kids can program their drones. When I started programming, getting "hello world" to show up on the screen was the height of programming excitement. Imagine being 10 years old, and having a program you created autonomously steer a small drone around your house. How awesome, how inspiring. (more on Tickle here: blog.parrot.com/2015/03/23/learn-visual-programming-rolling-spider/ ) For those of us who are a little older, we can program them in node.js, and practice autonomous control on a very inexpensive package, before moving on to working on drones that can do search, inspect unsafe sights, and further help the world. www.npmjs.com/package/parrot-rolling-spider So, overall, your review from the point of a pilot, is spot on, but please do consider that they're not just a toy, but a great educational opportunity. =)
It's strange they did not include a camera. Such a stable micro quadcopter would be perfect for videos. It'll be great if these sensors and the downwards camera appear in cheaper quads with cameras and proper transmitters (with a button to turn them off). The stability, especially for that size, is very impressive. Thanks for another great review Ryan!
it may be slow on default, and the mode you were flying may be not really flying. But once you put it on max settings, and change it to joypad, it is a monster.
+Origami Dude honestly i started with a micro drone, the blade inductrix, was tons of fun ! then i got the latrax alias drone for going outside with and let me tell you, this thing is an absolute blast! the propellers are one of the strongest ive seen so far, you can also get add ons for it such as fpv cameras etc. today i just got a racing drone, the first person view walkera 250 advance! Id highly reccomend the latrax alias for learning and going outdoors with becasue theres a fast mode and expert mode aswell as a mode that can save you when your about to crash in expert mode
The camera on your phone is turned on probably to help you see the ground beneath so that you don't fall when you're too focused on maneuvering the drone. :)
I agree! If you didn't see it, check out my video where I fly this with the physical controller from the Swing. :) Still not a great flyer though, but at least you can use an actual controller now. :)
That's what I figure. Protocol is the brand in best buy and they look so similar to the ones you review but I guess there isn't a list of rebrands since they come out so often.
Just bought a new Swat Airborne Night Drone for only $20. Didn't see a review specifically for it. Guessing that the Rolling Spider is pretty much the same.
Flyin' Ryan RC, great little flyers though. As long as you know the limitations of the Bluetooth connection. I started putting together tutorials for this these little drones. Not reviews.
Hi! Even though you said it's not a "serious" flyer's quad, I have 5 good quads now, and this looks pretty cool. I have purchased one, but does it come with spare props? Also, as always, nice review!
This is a serious question: do you think I can strap my phone onto the bottom of the drone and have it still fly? Would it be too heavy? Or is the engine strong enough?
What do you think of something like this: www.walmart.com/ip/Fosmon-Head-Strap-Mount-for-GoPro-Adjustable-Hand-Free-Head-Strap-Camera-Mount-for-GoPro-Hero-1-2-3-3-4-4-Session/49851043?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=125&adid=22222222227037421905&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=97616714554&wl4=pla-221571504274&wl5=9021484&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=101593492&wl11=online&wl12=49851043&wl13=&veh=sem
ok that parrot is flying smooth and level cos is a flat surface the floor is flat but if you flyit in a terrain that is not flat gets out of control and fly away that happen to me but still good to fly it around the house
AndyRC I'm working on it. I have the table-top video filmed, but need to film a flight video. I "filmed" one last Friday, but when I got inside, I discovered that the camera stopped recording half-way through the flight. :( And then it snowed like crazy on Saturday, and has been nasty out ever since. So, I'm still waiting for another chance to do some outdoor flying. :/
Bran Man Uh, you sure about that? I don't see anywhere in the app where you would tell the wheels to pop off, or any mention of such wheels anywhere in the manual, etc. I don't see anything on the quad that would make that mechanically possible.
The flying away thing isn't to do with the ultrasonic censor underneath it's the interference from you wifi because the drone uses wifi. So next time you fly it turn you wifi router off first
WOuld you know if the cargo minidrone is better or is it the same.. Because alot and i mean alot of people are complaining about the battery life on the Rolling Spider. I should have waited because now the cargo drone is under 70 bucks now
I think you should get a Dromida its the perfect rc quadcoppter no auto pilot you get to fly it all on your own. Oh and also there are so many choices of design I have a camera drone and a drone you can fly in the house is all rubber so it can bend so with all of that said I hope you will make the switch. Also I am not a sale representative I am a real owner.
+Jonathan D Photography I forget the flight time, but I know I said it in my review. If you've had a bunch of flights on that battery, it could just be losing its power, which is normal with LiPos.
Like the A.R 2.0 its basicly a flying computer😄 personaly I prefer normal rc qads, but the ar drone does what it is, its a drone. No big fan of the app thogh crashes happens too ofthen, and I whant to take of myself:p.
Flips work with the wheels off only...parrot drones are cool but overpriced for what they give...my faves are still the Cheerson CX10, Syma X11C, Syma X5C-1, Blade Chroma and DJI Phantom 3...you should review the Draganfly brand too..the cops use em for hostage situations and stuff
FaB Cat this happened to one of my older drones, say for example it takes 90 minutes to charge the drone, charge it only till 60%, 50 minutes or so and then just leave the drone and the battery for 3 or 4 days, don't use it, and then on the 5th day flight it and empty the battery and charge the drone till 60% and continue the same thing for 3 days, and on the 4th day drain the battery and charge it till 100% and it should work again.
You view them on your phone. I can't remember if the app automatically exports them to your camera roll, or if you have to manually do it. But, you should at least be able to view them through the app, and then maybe choose to export them to your phone's camera roll. And then from there you can import them to your computer if you want.
Nice review Mr. Ryan 👍 I agree all your points ....tec toy useless ..No skills ..and expensive ...but thx to share your honest feedbacks ...thats Y I love your reviews ..keep going with your work ....thanks and cheers !!

Very nice review, I agree with you, I do not like phone controls, signal is too sketchy.
Funny little toy
It's cute thats for sure
Thanks for the review. The thing looks really buggy for such an expensive toy. Glad I got that UDI four in one quad instead.
flyin's ryan rc , rcmania.com and rc 101 are my favourite channels
+Rachna Thapa Thanks. :)
Your review really helped me to make my decision about buying one. I now have a parrot bebop
+JKOK Gaming You still likely paid way too much for the Bebop, but that is certainly more of a serious RC vehicle. :)
+Flyin' Ryan RC no i live in England and I bought it for £699.99 with sky controller which is about £70 less than it should cost
hey Ryan I just got one but I bought the cargo drone by parrot its just like this one except it has prop guards instead of wheels its a newer version I think anyways your right its more of a toy just to show off how stable it is you can't really do any smooth movements like circuits or bank turns, wish they had a real transmitter for this drone it would be so much better cause it is super stable it would be awesome if you just had better control

Could you do a parrot mambo review?? That would be awesome!

Great review of an interesting concept. As you say, more of a toy than a serious quad.
Dave Cooper Thanks! :)
thank you for the information
Very well explained. Have 1 and find it hard to control
I can't wait to get one
Enjoyed watching this. But my favorite part has to be when Ryan (the owner of an entire RUclips channel entirely made up of videos of him flying rc quadcopters) says ”it seems kind of pointless” in reference to filming the drone flying around.

Flyin' Ryan RC so cool looks like fun
How much was this drone
Interested to find out so i can start saving up for one myself
i have been waiting for this review for quite some time
sean ang Hope it did not disappoint. :)
which nano quad will you suggest i am a experienced flyer
sean ang CX-10 or Proto X (LS-111 is a good clone to check out too).
I also thought the wheels would just pop off as shown in their promo video. I just got it today.
But
Nallely Rodríguez Unfortunately this one lost bluetooth connection and soared to at least 1000 ft and then crashed back to the earth somewhere. I couldn't find it :(
By Faith Clothing mine won't listen to me and go out of control. When I put the wheels on it wobbled like crazy and wasn't balanced. Then I took it outside and it crashed into me when It took off, then went soaring to the sun till it crashed and bounced 100 feet in the air and broke. I returned it
It will be nice if we'll see that altitude sensing thingy on cheap chinese quads.
Great review, Ryan! I really dont like this either, as I am sure flyaway would be traumatising. Its a shame to hear that you've been getting hate from people. For the people to take the time to reply to all your hard work and effort with insults is just sad. Forget them, and continue doing what you do! ;)
OllieTheCat2012 Amen brother! Really amazing how mean and rude some people are, but I just dish it back, ban 'em, and continue on doing what I do. :D
If you want to finish off the set of parrot minidrones, you should review the jumping sumo.
PvPBroYT I'm not wasting any more money on Parrot stuff, but I do have a Chinese knockoff of the Jumping Sumo on the way. :)
Flyin' Ryan RC the Sphero Ollie?
Flyin' Ryan RC Just my guess.

I made the mistake of buying this. I should have bought a Syma for th same price. Good vid ;)
CrudeDoughyuyy
flippin'ryanRC
I just got the blue one from target today. It was on sale for $39.99. They gotta increase flight time! Can't do much with only 7-8 minutes
Not bad for $40. 7-8min is actually quite long for a micro quad. You don't want to fly much longer than that because you will overheat the brushed motors and cause them to die. If you want longer flights, get additional batteries, but let the motors cool for a few minutes between flights.
Flyin' Ryan RC oh alright. So the bigger the drone, the longer the flight time? Makes sense
Hello there!
we are in 2024 and I bought one.
I'm French and I can't find how to start it. Is the battery sold empty?
Do you have to recharge a long time for the first time?
Thanks for the support! Nice vidéo!
Ryan you should do another roundup and maybe a picture or something showing us your entire collection. That would be an entertaining video.
ThexAimless I don't have enough new quads yet for another round-up, and it would be impossible to get my entire collection in one pic (lol), and would take *hours* to take it all out and put it back away. :/ If you follow me on Facebook, I post pics of everything I get, so you can scroll through that album to get an idea of what all I have. :)
Twitter or instgram?
ThexAimless Nah, I don't have time for that many social networks. heh Just Facebook: facebook.com/FlyinRyanRc
great review as per always it looks awesome & love the stickers :)
hm love how stable this hovers even with those wheels on. too bad you cant use a regular transmitter with sticks as an option.
oh my cx-10 finally came in. (took 38 days) it made it through about 4 flights then the little transmitter stopped binding! banggood has told me they will send a new one when they restock though :)
rayikaikin Lots of people saying that about the CX-10 not binding lately. No idea what's up with that.
The late 2014 CX-10 seem to be having issues with that. My family got several this past winter and of the 6 of them 2 are having binding issues. Fixed one by re-soldering the antennae, which was hanging, but the other is just a mystery to me!
om mine the transmitter light blinks but doesnt make any noise when you throttle up down to bind i popped it open to see if any soldering joints popped loose but didnt see anything
Great Review! They should bring a transmitter out for it! It would sell like hotcakes then! Lol
Frequent Flyer RC It would be interesting to see how this thing actually flies, if I could actually fly it. :)
Hi, one of the prophesied haters here ;)

For those of us who are a little older, we can program them in node.js, and practice autonomous control on a very inexpensive package, before moving on to working on drones that can do search, inspect unsafe sights, and further help the world.
www.npmjs.com/package/parrot-rolling-spider
So, overall, your review from the point of a pilot, is spot on, but please do consider that they're not just a toy, but a great educational opportunity. =)
Perhaps educate yourself on the basics of grammar and then spelling.
THANK YOU!
review the Parrot jumping sumo, i have it and love it. Interested in what you might think of it.
Win D It's really not of any interest to me, and too expensive to get simply to review. :(
It's strange they did not include a camera. Such a stable micro quadcopter would be perfect for videos. It'll be great if these sensors and the downwards camera appear in cheaper quads with cameras and proper transmitters (with a button to turn them off).

Thank you sooo much! I wanted a cheap outdoor drone and do not want to lose it. Can you suggest another cheap outdoor drone?
+Origami Dude If you are a beginner, this is my suggestion: ruclips.net/video/N4qJNgV0DGI/видео.html
+Origami Dude honestly i started with a micro drone, the blade inductrix, was tons of fun ! then i got the latrax alias drone for going outside with and let me tell you, this thing is an absolute blast! the propellers are one of the strongest ive seen so far, you can also get add ons for it such as fpv cameras etc. today i just got a racing drone, the first person view walkera 250 advance! Id highly reccomend the latrax alias for learning and going outdoors with becasue theres a fast mode and expert mode aswell as a mode that can save you when your about to crash in expert mode
You can change the settings to normal controls like on most other drones with controllers, at least on the bebop drone
Sean Zhou Yeah, it has "normal controls", but it's still just virtual sticks on a screen, which is awkward to fly with.
Can u put those seperate housing things that go around the propellers to protect it on that specific MiniDrone
cool
The camera on your phone is turned on probably to help you see the ground beneath so that you don't fall when you're too focused on maneuvering the drone. :)
I really don't enjoy the whole "using the phone as a transmitter" thing. I much prefer actual tactile controls....
I agree! If you didn't see it, check out my video where I fly this with the physical controller from the Swing. :) Still not a great flyer though, but at least you can use an actual controller now. :)
IBacon I agree too it's annoying and it's not like it doesn't feel as cool
georgetuckley0 can't I connect the fly pad to it?
vidfreak727 yes
this is sold at best buy. have you done any other reviews on big box store available quadcopter rc's?
+David Mashiah I am not sure. Usually the big box store models are over-priced rebrands of the Chinese products that I usually review.
That's what I figure. Protocol is the brand in best buy and they look so similar to the ones you review but I guess there isn't a list of rebrands since they come out so often.
+David Mashiah Yeah, I simply can't keep up with all the options and rebrands.
Saving flying Ryan (insert laugh track)
Just bought a new Swat Airborne Night Drone for only $20. Didn't see a review specifically for it. Guessing that the Rolling Spider is pretty much the same.
Yeah, pretty much the same thing. :)
Flyin' Ryan RC, great little flyers though. As long as you know the limitations of the Bluetooth connection.
I started putting together tutorials for this these little drones. Not reviews.
Great review, you just saved me $50. :-)
Devolution RC Glad to help. hehe
Do you think you could do a video on the parrot bebop?
ThePassiton Nah, too expensive and not really of any interest, especially after my experience with this.
Ok, thats cool.
The box is a pretty good case though
supreme rc Yeah, that is true. :)
does the wheels have there own setting so that the drone wont just fly up?
Hi! Even though you said it's not a "serious" flyer's quad, I have 5 good quads now, and this looks pretty cool. I have purchased one, but does it come with spare props? Also, as always, nice review!
sheepcute Nope, doesn't even come with a set of spare props. :(
This is a serious question: do you think I can strap my phone onto the bottom of the drone and have it still fly? Would it be too heavy? Or is the engine strong enough?
+Tim Le Absolutely not... that is way too heavy.
Hi. Thanks for the video. Very informative. Q: How did you do the recording in the kitchen? What are you wearing to do the recording?
I mount a Mobius Action Cam to the bill of an old baseball cap. :)
Flyin' Ryan RC Oh cool. Can you share a picture of that setup somewhere? Like on imgur or similar? If you don't mind?

Flyin' Ryan RC Cool, thanks.
What do you think of something like this: www.walmart.com/ip/Fosmon-Head-Strap-Mount-for-GoPro-Adjustable-Hand-Free-Head-Strap-Camera-Mount-for-GoPro-Hero-1-2-3-3-4-4-Session/49851043?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=125&adid=22222222227037421905&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=97616714554&wl4=pla-221571504274&wl5=9021484&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=101593492&wl11=online&wl12=49851043&wl13=&veh=sem
Thanks for the rewiew. All the the other videos are not good as yours!!!!
Yashfe Hassan Thanks, I'm glad you think that! :)
ok that parrot is flying smooth and level cos is a flat surface the floor is flat but if you flyit in a terrain that is not flat gets out of control and fly away that happen to me but still good to fly it around the house
628luis Ah, very good point!
Ryan, try it with f180 props seems to fly better and looks cool. let's us I know. nice review again.
Shall i buy one
I think in the video they forced the lach off by landing the drone and forcing it downwards to disconnect. Try that.
what happened with the proto x fpv review?
AndyRC I'm working on it. I have the table-top video filmed, but need to film a flight video. I "filmed" one last Friday, but when I got inside, I discovered that the camera stopped recording half-way through the flight. :( And then it snowed like crazy on Saturday, and has been nasty out ever since. So, I'm still waiting for another chance to do some outdoor flying. :/
Not quite the same as flying my phantom but I do love the little thing
Hey can I know what app did you use to fly the drone?? and also I lost the stick of the wheels what can I do about that??? PLS REPLY!!
Have u tried flying outside or is this more of an indoor quad??
+Ben Pyka It can be flown outside, but I never tried it because I didn't want it to fly away before I could finish my review. heh
My favorite beginner's quad is the Blade nano qx, not this trash. I've got one and I've loved it thanks to your review. Keep up the awesome videos.
+TomBom292 Yeah, the Nano QX is still my favorite indoor flyer. So precise and nimble. :)
+Flyin' Ryan RC Mine still works after all the abuse it's taken too :)
ryan you have to buy the wheals that automatically pop off with the phone so look for them on amazon
Bran Man Uh, you sure about that? I don't see anywhere in the app where you would tell the wheels to pop off, or any mention of such wheels anywhere in the manual, etc. I don't see anything on the quad that would make that mechanically possible.
Please do a unboxing of jumping sumo
The flying away thing isn't to do with the ultrasonic censor underneath it's the interference from you wifi because the drone uses wifi. So next time you fly it turn you wifi router off first
Oscar Perrin-Griffiths No, it uses bluetooth.
WOuld you know if the cargo minidrone is better or is it the same.. Because alot and i mean alot of people are complaining about the battery life on the Rolling Spider. I should have waited because now the cargo drone is under 70 bucks now
+Jonathan D Photography I think that is basically the same thing.
Does this thing record videos or take pics?
Do you think that the parrot mini drone would be good for beginners?
Douglas Lee I discussed that in my review.
Thanks! Do you think that the Hubsan H107C+ will be anygood? Also, Hubsan X4 or Parrot Mini Drone
You replying to my comment is amazing to me!
Also, is the WLtoys V262 Cyclone even better? I am looking for a good camera cheap drone that can be flown in doors and outdoor without any problem
Douglas Lee If you have no RC flying experience, this is my suggestion for beginners: ruclips.net/video/N4qJNgV0DGI/видео.html
Would the Syma X5SW be good?
Thanks,
Douglas
I think you should get a Dromida its the perfect rc quadcoppter no auto pilot you get to fly it all on your own. Oh and also there are so many choices of design I have a camera drone and a drone you can fly in the house is all rubber so it can bend so with all of that said I hope you will make the switch. Also I am not a sale representative I am a real owner.
Check out my channel. ;) I have reviewed Dromida quads, and dozens of others. ;)
how long it takes to load the rolling Spider ?
Hello, i want to buy the cargo travis but my question is, can we make a film with the camera of the drone ?
+Ulric Demont (Kosmos) The camera can only take pictures, not videos.
Ok ok thank you :)
+Ulric Demont (Kosmos) You may can do it. You can create a slideshow with all the photo.
ok
+Flyin' Ryan RC parrot mini drone has camera to takes pictures.
Very nice review as usual Ryan but I think this parrot is over priced it better to get other quadcopter where you can have more fun for less money :)
Please can you tell me the name of the app you use to connect your phone with the DRONE
Sameer Bhatti It's called Free Flight. You can find it here: www.parrot.com/usa/apps/
Thanks mate
My
favourite
Hy I'm about to buy a cx-10 drone and I was wondering if you could do a video about it
Joshua Nuncio ruclips.net/video/YysyZBWx4Dk/видео.html
What kind of camera do you use on your hat? What is the name of it
All RC Everything I put camera info in the credits of every single video I release, FYI. ;) It's the Mobius Action Camera.
Hey Ryan what is the best indoor quad coptor
Henry Gonzales Blade Nano QX.
how long does your drone last. Mine is like 99% and a few seconds later goes down to 60 % .. i got 4-5 mins tops even just hovering
+Jonathan D Photography I forget the flight time, but I know I said it in my review. If you've had a bunch of flights on that battery, it could just be losing its power, which is normal with LiPos.
+Flyin' Ryan RC. oh no even when i first got it. i hardly fly it. alot of people. have the same problem but someone made a battery fix on youtube
What should I do I downloaded the app free flight 3 my drone connected to the app thing but when I clicked on free flight It say update required
For Hubsan x4 quadcopters, do you know if there is a bigger battery than 500 mAh? For the Dromida is there a bigger battery than the 700 mAh?
Brandon Navarro Not that I know of, but that's not really the sort of info I track.
I prefer a regular transmitter. I just got an inductrix.
Like the A.R 2.0 its basicly a flying computer😄 personaly I prefer normal rc qads, but the ar drone does what it is, its a drone. No big fan of the app thogh crashes happens too ofthen, and I whant to take of myself:p.
Flips work with the wheels off only...parrot drones are cool but overpriced for what they give...my faves are still the Cheerson CX10, Syma X11C, Syma X5C-1, Blade Chroma and DJI Phantom 3...you should review the Draganfly brand too..the cops use em for hostage situations and stuff
My one last 3.1 seconds flight time. I think it's broken, but it's been like that since I bought it
bend the battery prongs
send it back
FaB Cat this happened to one of my older drones, say for example it takes 90 minutes to charge the drone, charge it only till 60%, 50 minutes or so and then just leave the drone and the battery for 3 or 4 days, don't use it, and then on the 5th day flight it and empty the battery and charge the drone till 60% and continue the same thing for 3 days, and on the 4th day drain the battery and charge it till 100% and it should work again.
have you reviewed the Huiying Toys HY-853?
theHAPPY wAyz No, I was not aware of it. I see it comes in green though, so I will try to track one down. :)
i was having a hard time finding one on a shopping website never did find one, but that's the one i want to buy!
theHAPPY wAyz Yeah, I don't see it anywhere either. But I have a contact at the HY factory. :)
okay, nice could you leave me a link
if you find it?
Would you reccomednd this to beginners?
+Eli Nathan Did you watch the video?
yes
Eli Nathan Then you should know the answer to your question. ;)
how to make a photo and see them? do I need to connect to pc ? or I can watch them on the phone?
You view them on your phone. I can't remember if the app automatically exports them to your camera roll, or if you have to manually do it. But, you should at least be able to view them through the app, and then maybe choose to export them to your phone's camera roll. And then from there you can import them to your computer if you want.
thank you that is work super
Is there a way to extend the battery life
Nice review Mr. Ryan 👍 I agree all your points ....tec toy useless ..No skills ..and expensive ...but thx to share your honest feedbacks ...thats Y I love your reviews ..keep going with your work ....thanks and cheers !!
sameer kadam Thanks bud! :)
Hey man if you see this do you know how to use it in 2023?
How much Is This?. and Where Did U Buy?.
took mine out for a test flight it banked to the right and crashed, now the top right propeller won't stop spinning, is there a way to make it stop?
SgtSJohnson No idea... sounds like some sort of significant damage to the flight controller or electronics or something.
Flyin' Ryan RC crap.. literally second flight and its already busted.. hopefully it can be repaired
