AR.Drone 2.0 Slow Motion Video with Phantom Flex Camera

May 22nd, 2013 No comments

Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 “Built for the elements” The Movie
A blockbuster filmed in slow motion with a high-speed Phantom Flex HD camera.

‘Built for the elements’ is a non-standard movie filmed in slow motion — 1,200 frames per second — with a high speed Phantom Flex camera. A true technical challenge, it offers stunning images that feature the robustness and the power of the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0, definitely a one-of-a-kind quadricopter!

Parrot confirmed that no AR.Drone 2.0 were harmed during the filming.

May 17th, 2013

Dear customers,

AR.Freeflight 2.2 was removed from iTunes last month due to the need for patents’ clarification on accelerometer and absolute control.

We encourage iOS pilots to try a new piloting app, fast and easy: AR.Drone. Get it!

In the meantime, we have enriched AR.Race2 App (version 2.2) with a free piloting mode to continue enjoying flying the AR.Drone.

We’ll keep you updated.

Sincerely,

Parrot Team

Nvidia teams up with Parrot: Project SHIELD compatibility with Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 demoed at NGPU Technology Conference this week

March 20th, 2013 Comments off

Project Shield is a full Android device with integrated console-grade controls, which include two analog sticks, buttons, shoulder triggers, and a D-pad. As a fully functional Android device, it was demoed today piloting the AR.Drone 2.0 with a soon-to-be-announced update version of AR.Freeflight.

The result is a fantastic flying experience, explains Patrick Beaulieu, an NVIDIAN who will be demonstrating the combo at GTC’s exhibit hall.

Project SHIELD’s console quality control sticks make the drone a pleasure to fly, Beaulieu says.

And by moving the controls for the device off the screen, viewers can see the unobstructed view from drone’s high-definition camera reproduced on Project SHIELD’s retina-quality 5-inch screen.
