Product details

The Parrot Swing is the only mini drone that lets you fly a supersonic plane with amazing ease. It is also the only aircraft with autopilot and a vertical takeoff and landing mode.
The Parrot Flypad joystick lets you control your drone as precisely as a pro. Turn the sky into a race track.

The unique X-shape promises two drones in one. Thanks to modern flight control and powerful sensors, Parrot Swing is the only mini drone with vertical take-off and landing. Robust and easy to learn. Nothing can stop you anymore.

Be the fastest of your friends. Tilt your Parrot Swing forward to gain speed. The more you let it tilt, the faster you will. If you activate boost mode, no one can follow you anymore. Race loose, fly slalom and avoid obstacles to be the first to arrive.

With the Parrot Flypad you can control your Parrot Swing even more precisely over a distance of up to 60 m. Use the customizable holder on your phone to see the remaining battery life and flight time on your display and change the control parameters.
To use Parrot Flypad you need a smartphone or tablet (at least iOS 8 or Android 4.4) that supports Bluetooth 4.0.
Before using the Parrot Flypad smartphone holder, make sure your phone does not exceed the following dimensions: Width: 78 mm, thickness: 9.8 mm.

Vor nicht allzu langer Zeit wurden Drohnen ab 250 Gramm mit einer Kennzeichnungspflicht belegt. Die federleichte Parrot Swing fällt mit ihren gerade mal 75 Gramm damit durchs Raster. Ein weiterer Vorteil: Der Brummer muss nicht erst zusammengebaut werden, sondern ist direkt bereit zum Losfliegen – optimal für Kinder...

Die Minidrohne bekommt Ihr für 139 Euro inklusive Controller für eine bequemere Steuerung. Als Spielzeug macht das Teil echt Spaß, auch wenn die richtig riskanten Manöver ein bisschen Übung erfordern. Zum Glück ist der Swing stabiler als er aussieht, denn schon leichte Windböen lassen den Copter abdriften.
