Sony Xperia XZ Premium. Moto G5 / G5 Plus. Nokia 5 / 3 / 3310 Saygus V2 (yes it was there) Good App, hope the support keeps coming 3 out of 3 people found this helpful. I can get connected to my drone however no options are available for me to fly as with any other device. I can't take off, update, or any basic functions. App randomly disconnected like 10 meters in front of me and flew away into a neighborhood and hit a pole, I really would like to fly my AR Drone 2 so please update the app. Thanks One person found this helpful. Please at least finish the app. I know that "director mode" is not that great of feature due to the weak camera situation (compared to the Bebop), but finish and maintain the app, PLEASE!!

Needs more robust come link management & control Tried the app a few times yesterday... altitude up to 25 meters and distance out to about 30 yards. Link was not altogether stable, and on one flight, the app locked-up the cmd link restart function... had to regain control from my WinPhone using AR Drone remote. ar drone 2 drifting Doesn't seem to reliably turn on the on-board recording, and also seems to want to record the transmitted video onto my Surface-3. parrot ar drone onlineThis works about 50% of the time.parrot ar drone 2 youtube Acquiring the WiFi address of the drone is also quirky..what is the best drone to buy for a beginner

needs a native English speaker to correct the code bugs I reckon. Lastly, the sharing and media mgt capabilities are very basic, compared to the iPAD version. Integrate with Microsoft Cloud functions and this is a winner-winner! Lastly, the control loop, when its working to spec, is nicely responsive with the Intel I5 powered Surface-3....way smother and quicker than with the iPAD.ar drone gps recorder Looking forward to the next release!parrot ar drone for iphone 4 out of 4 people found this helpful.parrot ar drone twitter Glad to see this on Windows 8! It's exciting that more developers are understanding that Windows 8 is a great platform and a lot of people actually do use it! I love using this with my Surface Pro 3, as the larger screen makes the video flight much more satisfying than on the iPad.

And, that I seem to have better WiFi distance with my Surface too! Only thing missing here is the GPS control that's on the iPad app, and video recording. Plus I hope they bring out the AR.FreeFlight 3 soon for my new Mini drones! It works as one would expect. It is truly sad it took so long considering this is not a complicated app. Now will they keep it up-to-date and add features that are already on iPad? Started great, then stopped Using this on my Surface RT, the app started out great flying my a.r.drone. Then all of a sudden the app will no longer recognize when the tablet is connected to the drones WiFi which makes it useless. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful. Review so far with Surface Pro - Works great with touch-screen thumb-sticks and accelerometers. - Works with Xbox controller. Both thumb sticks work properly in their appropriate directions. However, the left thumb stick always applies 100% acceleration, no matter how gently you push the stick.

Right thumb stick is analog. Applies % of acceleration depending on how much you push the stick. It appears that a quick update to the left thumb-stick is all that is needed. - D-pad on Xbox controller will flip drone: up=front flip, back=backflip, right=flip to the right, left= flip to the left. No need to change settings to get different flips=cool combos. - Xbox controller (both wireless and wired) must be plugged in AFTER takeoff, otherwise it won't takeoff no matter what. For Wireless controller: have controller on but don't have wireless adapter plugged into USB port yet. Start up the drone. Once drone takes off, quickly plug in wireless adapter. - Didn't test out the keyboard yet. Will report back later. 15 out of 16 people found this helpful. A good start, flying on my Surface RT. Only takes Still pictures to tablet. Would be nice to save streamed video to tablet. Hopefully a WP8 app soon! 9 out of 11 people found this helpful. is a ROS driver for Parrot AR-Drone 1.0 & 2.0 quadrocopter.
