Parrot PF727003 Swing Quadcopter and Plane Minidrone with Flypad Controller

Product Information

We know a team that does cover these machines, head on over to Flite Test to see all about RC airplanes. Wrap up Unlike most of the other fixed-wing drones I’ve looked at, the XPlusOne doesn’t have great endurance. You’ll only get about twenty minutes out of it before having to land. That’s basically just an indication that this isn’t a glider and of course that it has four motors. The main disadvantages of a fixed-wing craft are actually pretty obvious. For one thing, you can’t take off or land vertically. If you're looking at drones as a serious investment and want to get to grips with something small and light before ponying up the cash for a DJI Phantom Pro or Mavic Pro, it's a sensible starter option. According to those who own one, it’s a great flyer although there are already plans for 3D-printed find replacements that improve handling somewhat, apparently. There’s no doubt that this is one of the most affordable fixed-wing camera platforms you can buy today. Xcraft XPlusOne Pro Bundle

Some fixed-wing drones can be hand-launched or thrown into the air, but larger ones will need some space to get off the ground. Landing also requires quite a bit of space, so this isn’t the solution for urban areas. A VTOL aircraft is a machine that has the ability to take-off and land without forward movement, like a drone or helicopter, but also one that transitions to forward flight where ‘airplane’ wings provide the lift. Some of these craft have propellers that point up and separate propellers facing forward, while other VTOL craft manage to tilt the propellers to handle both tasks. Bottom line, VTOL are almost precisely what the name implies, vertical take off and landing airplanes. The WingtraOne, from Wingtra, is a versatile VTOL craft, taking off and landing on its tail, but flying in a fixed-wing configuration. Most of the other craft on this list are consumer friendly craft, while a consumer might love to play with the WingtraOne, its purpose, and price tag, better suit it to commercial customers. Optional payloads include up to 42MP full-frame cameras, inspection grade RGB camera rigs and PPK GNSS receivers for 1cm accuracy on mapping jobs up to 31 miles of flight range, or about 400 hectares of ground mapping in an hour of flight. Die Steuerungssoftware ist prima und ausgereift. Das Smartphone zeigt alle wichtigen Daten an und erlaubt den Swing im Detail zu konfigurieren. With enough power to vertically launch the drone, that same motor can drag the craft through the air at much higher speeds than a quadcopter design.Even after reading the manual there’s no clear indication of where one would mount a camera, despite this being referred to as an “FPV” drone. Interestingly the manual also states that you need to keep it under 85 kph. Any faster and the wings have to be reinforced. The manual sets the total payload limit at 3.2Kg. Parrot was an early pioneer of intelligent multirotor drones. The Parrot AR drone might seems positively primitive now, but at the time it was an amazing feat of consumer technology. The deal is made even sweeter with the inclusion of FPV goggles, but you do need a smartphone to act as the screen. The Parrot Skycontroller 2 does duty as the transmitter and gives you a 1.2 mile range. If you have more than one drone, you should turn on Classroom Mode through the Tynker app. This pairs each tabletwith a single droneso that your code doesn’t run on the wrong drone by accident. This is especially helpful if you are in a classroom with many studentscontrolling different drones. Another big caveat from a camera drone perspective is that you probably won’t have a camera that can look around much. It’s usually fixed at the front of the craft with little in the way of mobility.

Start with simple programs where you automate the drone’s flight path by modifying the default code. Make it flip on demand. For example, in this program, the drone flies up when you start the program and hovers. Each time you touch the drone actor, the drone flips. When you stop the program, the drone falls to the ground. For what is essentially a Christmas gift kind of toy, there's some impressive tech inside Parrot's mini drone. A collection of sensors can measure altitude and ensure the Swing stays in the air. Simply turn on the drone and wait for it to pair. The pairing should be automatic. Once paired, you will see a green indicator on the drone Actor in Tynker. The lights on the drone should also be green. WiFi Pairing (Jumping Drones)

Ich empfehle direkt nach kauf auf die Parrot Seite zu gehen und das Update per USB aufzuspielen. Das Flypad war bereits aktuell. Mit der neusten Firmware klappt ab und zu die Landung in der Wiese nicht perfekt und sie macht die Motoren zu spät aus oder beim abheben manchmal zieht sie etwas. Das geht aber schon klar.

To tweak the features you will need an Android 'device', we had to borrow one to try this, seems to work fine. While you don’t have nearly as much product choice as with multirotors, we’ve managed to string together a group of popular drones with fixed wings you can buy right now if you wanted to. Drone –Parrot Rolling Spider, Night, Cargo, Mambo, Jumping Sumo(support for Jumping Sumo on iOS only),or Swing(partial support for Swing on iOS)Fixed wing craft are also generally much faster than multirotor aircraft. This makes them perfect for surveying or mapped large stretches of terrain. There are also certain types of shots you can’t get with a multirotor thanks to a fixed-wing’s ability to smoothly roll and loop. How expensive it all gets in the end is another thing you have control over. This is a good choice if you need to spec your drone yourself. Yet, the market for commercial fixed-wing drones has certainly grown and there are several distinct advantages to using them over multirotor aircraft. Bevor man raus geht alle Geschwindigkeiten in den App Settings auf vollgas stellen falls Wind ist kann man gut draußen gegen steuern.
