Now that it’s Summer and the beautiful weather is here, I thought this would be of interest for all my readers. Drones, i’m sure you are all aware of them and have seen them in action. Drones are all the craze right now and theres so many out there it’s hard to keep track of them all. When someone mentions drones to me, I automatically think of Parrot brand.
Parrot has a promotion dedicated to drones: “It’s Flying Season®”. Their entire range of Parrot consumer drones are being sold at a discount of $30 to $100 from now until July 4, 2016. This is a great time to pick up a drone at a great discount. These drones will be flying off the shelves, so don’t miss this great deal!
Parrot has all kinds of drones, something for just about everyone. I would like to introduce you to a different type of drone, a jumping mini drone!
Yes, a jumping minidrone. I bet you thought all drones flew, didn’t you? Parrot has some pretty awesome mini drones out on the market right now and I had the chance of trying out MAX – Jumping Race Drone.
MAX – Jumping Race Drone is not your ordinary drone. Let me start by giving you a quick rundown.
Whats in the box:
- 1 Jumping Race Drone
- 1 Battery
- 2 Spare rubber pads for the jumping bar
- 1 USB to Micro USB cable
- 1 Set of stickers
- 1 Quick Start Guide
The first step is to take it out of the box and charge it, download the app and connecting the minidrone via Wi-Fi. The app is available on both Google Play and the Apple App Store. It takes approximately 25 minutes to fully charge and you get a good 20 minutes of play.
The Minidrone comes with a microUSB cable, but you don’t get a charger. You can use your phone or tablet wall charger. This was not a problem for me as we have many of these laying around.
This thing is AWESOME! Even with the short battery life, we had a lot of fun with it. It goes up to 14km/h, can jump up to 2.4ft and can turn 360°. It has a built in camera which you can stream from, take videos and even photos and store it in its 4GB of internal memory. The built in camera isn’t high quality but it is decent quality for a drone.
I do have to warn you, be careful using the jumping feature and make sure no one is in front of the drone. My kids kept making it jump on each other and they kept trying to get him to jump into the kitchen sink.
If you are looking to get your hands on a drone, Parrot brand is definitely the way to go as they have a wide variety and as mentioned before, they have a great deal going on right now where they are discounted from $30 to $100 from now until July 4, 2016.
