The AR.Drone 2.0 Quadcopter and Battery Kit is a kit from B&H that features the blue and orange version of the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 Quadcopter and a spare Parrot LiPo Battery that provides up to 12 minutes of flying time. The AR.Drone 2.0 is an RC quad-rotor helicopter that features an integrated 720p video camera for first-person view (FPV) flights. A low-latency QVGA (320 x 240) resolution Wi-Fi signal from the camera provides a live video downlink to a smartphone or other Wi-Fi-enabled mobile device running iOS or Android. Video and photos from the camera can either be saved to the smartphone or recorded to a USB flash drive connected to the AR.Drone 2.0 itself.
In addition to FPV, a mobile device is also required for control of the aircraft. Parrot provides the AR.FreeFlight app available for free download from the iOS Apps Store and the Android Play Store. Alternatively, SDKs are available from Parrot to help code wizards design their own softare to customize the AR.Drone 2.0's capabilities. The wireless range for the AR.Drone 2.0's Wi-Fi system extends up to 165' (50 m).
The AR.Drone 2.0 features two hull configurations. An "Indoor Hull" that incorporates removable prop guards designed to provide additional safety, and an "Outdoor Hull", without prop guards for a lower weight profile and better aerial performance.
