With the second generation of Parrot Minidrones, plunge into the era of connected toys. Our ultra-technological miniaturized robots piloted with a smartphone or a tablet via the free piloting app, FreeFlight 3.
Regrouped in three clans, they are ready to take on all your challenges!
These super rovers roll, rush, zigzag, take turns at 90° and jump up to 2.5 feet high or long! They can see, listen and talk thanks to an embedded wide angle camera, a microphone and a speaker.
These aces of acrobatics are quadricopters capable of performing flips and of ripping through the air at 11 mph.
These flying drones are attached to an hydrofoil, which can lift out of the water. They can reach the speed of 5.4 knots (6 mph).
"The success of our first Minidrones, sold at more than 600,000 units, pushed us to expand the family of these super high-tech toys," said Henri Seydoux, founder and CEO of Parrot. "After reinventing the helicopter and the radio-controlled car, we are today creating a new category of drone, a super-fast and un-submersible hydrofoil."
The new Minidrones, which range from €99 to €179, feature:

The 'Jumping' are smart terrestrial robots piloted in Wi-Fi 2.4 or 5 Ghz via the free FreeFlight 3 application1 .
The Jumping Night can see in the dark. You just have to activate their powerful LEDs from the FreeFlight 3 application and adjust intensity. They can also send light signals, to indicate that the coast is clear or to give notice of a danger.
They can patrol and take complete video reports, even in dark areas.
Equipped with powerful engines and large wheels for perfect traction, the Jumping Race reaches up to six mph thanks to "boost" mode, available from FreeFlight 3.
Their two large retractable wheels adapt to all driving styles.
Wheels open, for greater stability in high-speed, ideal on smooth race track.
Compact mode to enhance agility and drive through narrow areas.
Ultra-compact and hyper light (1.2 lbs. 2 ), the Parrot 'Airborne' are flying robots piloted in Bluetooth Smart via the free FreeFlight 3 application for smartphones and tablets3 .
Comfortable both indoors and outdoors, they are equipped with an removable polyamide hull to protect the propellers.
Thanks to their powerful white LEDs activated from Free Flight 3, the Airborne Night can explore even in the shadows of darkness.
During night patrols, you can modify the intensity of their headlights and, same as for their terrestrial counterpart, you can send signals!
They can explore areas that are gloomy and only accessible from the air.
3 characters available: SWAT, Mac Lane and Blaze MSRP: €129.00

Piloted in Bluetooth Smart from FreeFlight 3 application5 , the Hydrofoils are flying Minidrones that can be attached to a an hydrofoil.
They rise out of the water and rush like the racers in a sailing match.
Once the engines are on, the upper part of the Hydrofoil positions perpendicularly to the nautic structure.
Thanks to the four propellers of the Minidrone, it slides on the water and stays about 2 inches above it with amazing stability and agility.
