Which Flying Drone Do I Buy?
The AR Drone is coming in at about $300 and up depending on whether you opt to select any extra features such as GPS based auto-pilot, a supplementary battery or extra memory in the form of a USB plug-in stick. This helps it be cheaper and it would not surprise me when it becomes among the top Christmas gifts this season!
So which drone should I buy?
Say you're a beginner; you watched a few drone videos and are typical worked up about to be able to fly it around your city and take pictures from perspectives and angles you can not access before.
HD Video
One of the most crucial features nowadays is the capability to film hd video; if you wish to show your drone video art to friends, then this is essential. The good thing is that HD video cameras have grown to be cheaper and cheaper nowadays and both Parrot AR Drone and the DJI Phantom have them.
GPS Navigation
As stated GPS is optional for the AR Drone and can be had by investing in a'flight recorder'for approximately $140 off Amazon. However, the DJI Phantom is sold with GPS capability and a'return home'feature built in.
Remote Control Capability
In addition to the price difference between both of these drones, how they are controlled is another largest difference. Parrot, with help from French researchers have created quite an intuitive app for iOS and Android, called Parrot Freeflight. The AR Parrot 2.0 drone basically acts as a WiFi hotspot which connects to your smartphone or tablet and this allows it to stream HD video directly to your device.
You may also control the drone by tilting your phone forward, backwards, left or right, just like you would in a racing or flying game on the iPhone. The Freeflight app also enables you to directly share the videos to Facebook, YouTube or Vimeo directly from within the app.
Other differences between both drones comprise of the flying range; 25 minutes on a battery charge for the Parrot and as much as 40 minutes for the DJI Phantom. The DJI Phantom is also slightly heavier and some reports say so it provides better stability in windy conditions, but both drones are reasonably stable for that. Replacement parts are easily available to get from Amazon for both models.
