i couldnt tell you as its old stock and i just happened to come across it , i jst looked online and they all go for like 250 or more ,for the price u wont find any better drone ,not even for double the price , and it comes with 2 batteries
How do you know it comes with two batteries?
i bought one and jst tried it , i was looking for a cheap one under 200 that does 1080p and gps and stabilization ,and it does it all , jb hifi sell some for over 200 that doesnt even do 1080p and no gps or anything else
Only stock left in a couple of SA store and SA online.
Just tried Victoria store. Blue and red in stock.
It's not really a good deal. This thing really need the sky controller and some spare batteries. The color fade quite quick as the top body is foam
looks good to me
These drones are great and far better than people give them credit for.
The problem with this is that the included batteries are almost certainly past their use by date, and there's a problem where the connection of the gps units has deteriorated due to age.
Source - I bought one and went through this last year.
To Parrot's credit they were excellent to deal with and sent a replacement drone and new (still old) batteries.
If I were to do it again if get the Bebop 2 (also called Bebop Power I think) which has vastly better battery life and fixed some of the world if this model. These were on clearance price a few weeks back at around $230.
Also note, you can use Xiaomi WiFi range extenders and/or an Xbox/PlayStation controller rather than having to buy the sky controller.
Do you have a link on how to make that controller please, thanks
No link sorry, but the Parrot forums have lots of info, shouldn't be difficult to find.
Basically you connect your controller to your Android device, ideally via otg cable so the Bluetooth doesn't impact WiFi. The app supports controllers. Also run the Xiaomi range extender off a pregnant and you can get really decent range out of them.
I bought a phone clip for my PS4 controller which worked well.
Awesome, Thanks for that,I will definitely give it a try
Pretty fun just to take a few vids, got it today, Super cheap
Canceled my order. ☹️
Yep… me too.
What is the usual price?
