Features

Hydrofoil MiniDrone: The Parrot Hydrofoil MiniDrone features a 2-in-1 design that can glide over water, as well as fly through the air. Once the engines are on, the upper part of the Hydrofoil positions perpendicularly to the nautical structure. Thanks to the four propellers of the MiniDrone, it glides through the water and stays about 2" above the surface with stability and agility. As the water resistance is reduced, it can reach the maximum speed of 6 mph (5.4 knots) and turn quickly without capsizing. The Hydrofoil can be separated from its nautical structure in order to fly through the air at up11 mph and do aerial acrobatics.

• Aquatic Mode: In Aquatic mode, the Parrot Hydrofoil MiniDrone is balanced and self-stabilizing. Built with streamlined foils and a hydrodynamic hull, the Parrot Hydrofoil MiniDrone is ultra-stable and moves with amazing dexterity and speed on water. Easily controlled by a smartphone or a tablet, you can perform rapid moves and turns.
• Flight Mode: The Parrot Hydrofoil MiniDrone flies smoothly anywhere and can go as fast as 11 mph. In flight mode, the Parrot Hydrofoil MiniDrone boasts superior flight stability thanks to its 3-axis gyroscope and accelerometer. With a single swipe of your finger, the MiniDrone turns 90° and 180°, and with a single click, it performs acrobatic 360° forward and backward flips in the air. Designed for safe flying and sailing, the Hydrofoil MiniDrone is fitted with a propeller circuit-breaker in case of collision.

VGA Camera: The Parrot Hydrofoil 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 Hyrdrofoil MiniDrone. The camera faces forward in Aquatic mode and downward in Flight mode.

1GB Flash Memory: The Hydrofoil 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 Hydrofoil 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 Hydrofoil MiniDrone via Bluetooth for a wireless range of up to 65' (20m). Whether you are a beginner or an advanced pilot, the FreeFlight Mini app's interface makes flying your MiniDrone fun & easy.

• Control Modes: From the FreeFlight Mini app, you can control the MiniDrone using your mobile device's built-in accelerometer (Expert), using the app's virtual joystick (Controller), or both (Normal). Using your device's accelerometer, you can control the flight pattern of the MiniDrone by simply leaning your smartphone or tablet in the direction you want it to fly.
• 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. |
• Landing: Simply press the app's "Landing" button and the MiniDrone will safely land in the area it is currently hovering over.
• Emergency: If you press the app's "Emergency" button, the motors will immediately cut out and the MiniDrone will fall from whatever height it is currently at.

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.
