About the Parrot Mars Airborne Cargo Drone

Eric A.

Let your imagination take flight

Flying a minidrone is fun, but sometimes — especially when you're with the whole family — it's even more fun to add some imagination to the mix. The Parrot Mars Minidrone includes a top panel that lets kids attach building blocks or the included mini figure. The Mars drone offers a dramatic launch option, too. Just toss it in the air, and the engines whir to life — it's known as Free Fall Take-Off. Once the drone is airborne, it can turn 360° front- and back-flips in mid-flight!
The Parrot Mars Minidrone can carry cargo, like the included mini-figure.

App control via Bluetooth®

You won't need to buy a controller for this minidrone. Just download the FreeFlight 3 app from the Apple® App Store or Google Play. You'll be able to connect to and pilot your drone via Bluetooth. Keep your drone in the car, and you'll be able to stop for a flight any time you like — just pull out your smartphone or tablet and fire up the engines.

Safety features

The quadcopter features four three-bladed polycarbonate propellers with an auto-block feature that stops them from spinning any time the drone collides with another object, including human beings. For added safety, a lightweight exterior hull can be attached to serve as a "bumper."

Features

Airborne Cargo MiniDrone: The Parrot Airborne Cargo is a transport MiniDrone capable of carrying a toy pilot (included) or any kind of miniature freight, like toy blocks. It features compartments to hold small objects, a base to attach mini-figures (one mini-figure included) and even building blocks.

Drone Technologies: The Airborne Cargo MiniDrone has remarkable flight stability and utilizes technologies usually dedicated to larger drones.

  • A 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope measure and analyze each movement or inclination of the drone and, thanks to the autopilot, rectify the position of the MiniDrone.
  • A vertical camera compares, every 16 milliseconds, an image of the ground to the previous one to determine the speed of the MiniDrone. It also enables the MiniDrone to take snapshots, which are saved on the 1GB flash memory; perfect for aerial "selfies".
  • An ultrasound sensor analyzes the flight altitude up to 13'. A pressure sensor controls the MiniDrone in altitude beyond 13'.

Indoor or Outdoor: The Parrot Airborne Cargo MiniDrone is sturdy and shock resistant, and be flown both indoors or outdoors. The Airborne Cargo MiniDrone is equipped with a removable polyamide hull to protect the propellers. Designed for safe flying, the Airborne Cargo MiniDrone is fitted with a propeller circuit-breaker in case of collision.

VGA Camera: The Parrot Airborne Cargo MiniDrone is equipped with a VGA camera that has a resolution of 480 x 640 (300,000 pixels). You can take photos while you glide and fly the Airborne Cargo MiniDrone. The camera faces downward during flight.

1GB Flash Memory: The Airborne Cargo MiniDrone's photos are recorded onto it built-in 1GB flash memory. You can save hundreds of photos in the MiniDrone's internal memory. When the memory is full, a warning message will appear telling you it is no longer possible to take photos.  You can  retrieve or delete the images on the 1GB flash memory by connecting the MiniDrone to your computer using the included USB cable. To do this, the battery for the MiniDrone must be installed and should be fully charged. Once connected, the MiniDrone will show up as a USB drive on your computer. You can then copy & delete files using your computer.

FreeFlight Mini App: You'll need the FreeFlight Mini app from Apple's App Store or Google Play to pilot the Airborne Cargo MiniDrone from your Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad (iOS 8.0+) or Android smartphone/tablet (OS 4.4+). Your Apple iOS or Android device must also support Bluetooth 4.0 and will need to be paired with the Airborne Cargo MiniDrone via Bluetooth for a wireless range of up to 65' (20m). The FreeFlight Mini app uses your mobile devices built-in accelerometer and an on-screen virtual joystick to control the Airborne Cargo MiniDrone.

Optional Flypad Controller: The Parrot Flypad controller (333FLYPAD, sold separately) gives you precise wireless control of the Parrot MiniDrone and allows you to pilot it over a distance of up to 196' via Bluetooth 4.0.

  • Smartphone Mount: The included smartphone mount allows you to attach your Apple iOS or Android device to the Flypad controller. By doing this, you can use the Flypad to pilot your Parrot MiniDrone and use the FreeFlight Mini app on your compatible Apple iOS 8.0+ or Android OS 4.4+ device to view live video footage from the MiniDrone's front camera. The cradle will fit mobile devices up to 3.125" (w) and 0.4375" thick.
  • Rechargeable Battery: The Flypad is powered by a rechargeable LiPo battery (200mAh) that can last up to 6 hours. Charging time is approximately 2 hours (charger not included).

Airborne Acrobatics: The Parrot Airborne Cargo MiniDrone can travel at up to 11mph, turn right, turn left and perform flips with amazing fluidity and stability. A finger "swipe" on the piloting screen of the FreeFlight Mini app turns the MiniDrone 90 or 180 degrees in a flash. It can also perform acrobatic 360 degree forward and backward flips.

Free Fall Take Off: The Parrot Airborne Cargo MiniDrone also features the exclusive "Free Fall Take-Off" that allows the engines to start up automatically when you release the drone into the air.

Max Settings: The Max Altitude option allows you to limit the maximum height your MiniDrone can go. When the MiniDrone is about to go past this limit, it will automatically go back down to the selected height. The Max Tilt option allows you to choose the maximum tilt angle the MiniDrone can make while it is moving. The Max Vertical Speed option allows you to set the maximum upward and downward speed of the MiniDrone. The Max Rotation Speed option allows you to set the maximum rotation speed for the MiniDrone.

Drone Academy: Connect your Apple iOS or Android device with the FreeFlight Mini app installed to the Internet and the Parrot Cloud to share your stats with other pilots. Keep track of all your sessions and share your photos and navigation data with other members of the Parrot Cloud.

It takes approximately 90 minutes to fully charge the battery.
