Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “More Drone Carnage!”.
What’S up guys Lew here back with another video and today we’re looking at another drone., Another small little drone., You may remember the video I posted recently of this tiny little … fit in your palm size, drone. This one’s a little bit bigger than that.. It also has an application that comes along with that you install on your phone iOS, Android or Windows Phone.. It has a camera built in to it, so it’s just a little bit more advanced..
So this is the rolling spider from Parrot Minidrones.. It can be used inside and outside. It has a range of 20 meters or 66 feet.. It can do flips and, as I mentioned before, it has smartphone control and it all uses low power. Consumption Bluetooth., Which is good but you’re, still not gon na get a ton of battery life on something like this..
It’S actually only about eight minutes, but the truth is: that’s still enough time to have a fair bit of fun with it and you can get extra batteries and just keep them on deck.. This is very stable as you’d expect.. It has a number different sensors that keep it floating perfectly..
So here it is not huge by any means., Still sort of fits into my hand as you can see.. So we’ve got an ultrasonic sensor as well as a 3-axis, gyroscope and accelerometer.. There’S also a camera here, a little tiny camera capable of taking fairly low resolution pictures.
A USB cable Micro USB to be exact. A little bit of paperwork, don’t need that., The rechargeable battery. And it takes about 90 minutes to recharge these..
Now these are interesting. How do these … This thing actually has wheels.? Well, it can actually do a little driving too.. I mean you could just have these things on sort of to protect it.. When I first saw these that’s what I imagined. Flying this thing indoors.
There are a number of different obstacles, things to run, into. People to run into., Hopefully not.. Where do they install.? I missed a piece.. Oh, I need this. Professional unboxer. I think not..
I talked all this big game. Anyway. This clips on and these crazy looking wheels.
Go on the side here., So it’s going to be pretty hard to mess up your propellers or kill anybody with these installed.. So let’s go ahead and insert the battery here.. We have lights on the eyes now., You can see.
He’S got like these orange headlights and a pretty mean looking face, which I like.. Let’S live dangerously., Let’s try it without the wheels at first.. The app is called FreeFlight 3. As mentioned it works on iOS, Android and even Windows Phone..
How about that? Some Windows? Phone love., Oh yeah, Okay, we’re gon na lie him flat.. He needs to be lied flat. Apparently. Then launch the app FreeFlight 3..
Disconnecting Look at this. We get all the way to 87 percent, and then we froze. What Oh, my god, had to start. Again. *pfft* Thanks a bunch, I’m sorry to say this, but I have a funny feeling that if we were on iOS right now, this thing would already be flying. Sending file.
Okay, so people hate to break it to you. But once again it looks like at least at this point that iOS has gotten more love on the app side. We are connected and we’re actually sending over the firmware. Update.
iOS love from manufactures., Not a new thing. They love their iOS. Like that right, there.
Connection.! You guys need to know that kinda stuff.. This is real life right here on Unbox Therapy., Yes, Green, eyes., Wow. It connects on iOS, so fast, Hoochie mama.
Here we go. Why did it What Why did it? Well, we have our first durability. Test..
Look at this. We can set a max altitude., So there’s various piloting modes, here., Speed, settings.. So the way the controls operate.
… the left hand side is, is controlling your altitude and the sort of spin axis of the drone. And then on the right.
You put your thumb and then you’ve engaged the accelerometer in the phone. As you tip down, it’ll move, forward. Pull back and it will go backwards..
Even though I’ve set maximum altitude at 2.5 meters, it still sort of …, obviously 2.5 meters. It still jumps up in the beginning, so I can’t even really launch it from the table.. So now I’ve moved down to the floor and I’m attempting to sort of fly it into frame here.
I flew it. I flew it for a bit. Oh yeah, Oh he’s on the microphone dude. Right underneath the mic …. Oh Still, though, I had it in the zone.
Man drones are so much fun., I’m gon na land. It … I’m gon na land it right here. Little spin..
Does that count Chopped up the microphone a little bit? That’S drone carnage right there., I feel. Like me sitting, there was messing with it’s sensors. A little bit. Come on down. Low battery alert, OH ON THE LOW BATTERY ALERT. Yes, .
