Small Drone Big Features

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2016

This drone is amazingly stable in flight and very fun to fly for its size it is one of the most advanced drones on the market. I really like the headlight function and the decals on this drone since it usually grabs attention and adds to the experience and since you can fly this drone with your Android or Apple mobile device, tablet, and etc through Parrots app anyone can fly this drone and perform maneuvers like a pro. There are three small things however that I dont like about this drone though 1.Drone works off of Bluetooth and not WiFi 2.Flying the drone on the controller or ace modes can be difficult due to the virtual joysticks on your device 3.Drone comes with one battery instead of two so every 5-8 mins you are looking for a receptacle to charge the drone for about 25 mins. All things considered this is the drone to have if you want a high tech, easy to fly, nicely crafted drone. Also as a side note I had to contact Parrot customer service and they responded quickly to my email and even sent me a part for this drone at no cost even though I bought it as an open box item.

Missed the turn a while back

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2019

For starters I purchased two Renewed mini parrots. Both spin twist thirst and fly out of control for no reason whatsoever. Battery life is very short.
The rc controller is a nice touch and durable, however the directions are completely wrong when setting up and linking devices. What are the chances more act like the two that I received, I reckon I'm not the only one that received bad drones. Switching out batteries did not improve their functioning at all.

Worst. Purchase. Ever.

You know when you have paid a fair amount of money for something and then it ups and disappears? No? Well, we tried flying this on maybe 5 successful short flights. Then it took off, stopped responding to our commands and away it went. Up. And. Away. Way away. Height limiter did not work. As it left the range of our app (while we desperately tried to guide it down, hit emergency, anything) -- it was gone. The app was hardly as simple as the tutorials implied. Not for an 8 year old who is completely facile with all things digital. Not for this adult who can intuitively follow most digital controls. Very disappointed to say the least.

Watched $130 fly away - uncontrolled climb issue common...

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2015

I was really excited about this product and had one great indoor flight, then recharged. Two days later - a software update occurred, but I thought nothing of it and went outside. After hitting the "take off" button, I saw the drone climb and stopped responding to my control inputs. I hit the "emergency" button to make the drone land, but there was no response... It kept climbing until it was out of sight. Apparently this uncontrolled ascent is a common issue looking at other reviews and Parrot's online support forums.

I have contacted Parrot's customer service line and will adjust my rating if they respond well, other wise - know that I spent $130 on a drone for 10 minutes of flight time.

So poorly and cheaply made. Only good for a few short flights before it's rendered useless.

We are not happy about the loss of $130

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2015

So I bought this for my husband for Christmas. After 30 seconds into his second flight the drone started to rapidly ascend up and up until we couldn't see it any more. As soon as the drone began to ascend my husband began trying everything to get it to stop including the emergency stop button. Nothing worked! Literally it went into the clouds a few thousand feet up. We stayed outside in hopes that in the remote chance that we would see it returning back to earth. No such luck. We are not happy about the loss of $130.00 for something we only got .10 Cents of use out of it.

We found that this problem is more common than we thought. I highly recommend that you do not purchase this.

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2016

My 11-yo son received a Parrot Airborne Night Maclane mini-drone for Christmas. We helped him set it up using an iPhone 5S as the controller, and he enjoyed it for 3 days before the drone disappeared into the sky and lost touch with the controller -- as we all watched. Prior to this, we were careful to set the drone range to a maximum of 30 feet high, but it did not matter. He pressed "Landing" to no avail. It continued straight up like a helium balloon and eventually could no longer be seen. This is a design flaw that ruined one little boy's Christmas. Why would the drone not stop working when it goes out of range? Despite being setup and monitored by 2 adults, this drone was not safe to fly outdoors.
