There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My concerns were unfounded, though. The Disco has performed better than I hoped! A few caveats, though - I knew (from my previous RC airplane experience) that a lot of space is needed. Don't expect to fly this in your back yard, or even in a small field, like you might a 'normal' helicopter drone. I fly mine around a large ranch, and it works great in that scenario.
I did carefully read the manual (which is very basic, as the critics have mentioned). I also watched the Parrot tutorial videos. Launching was easy once I saw the technique, and I never had any problem. Once in the air, it climbs to 150 feet and circles, giving plenty of time to get settled writhe controller. Landing worked well, too, but just like an RC plane, it is important to line up properly, and the more space available, the easier it is.
I did have problems viewing the instruments displayed on my iPhone - it's really to bright outside to see the display. The FPV goggles, on the other hand, have been really fun. Once the plane has been launched, I can load the phone into the goggles and get them over my eyes while the plane is loitering overhead. The FPV video resolution is pretty grainy (it is adjustable, however), but it is easily good enough to get the sensation of flying.
I've been quite pleased with the video output, as well. It is 1080p at 24 FPV, and the footage is optically stabilized so it looks far better than what I see in the goggles. The 32 Gb of storage is far more than what's required for a flight, and it's been easy to transfer it to my phone or laptop.
The software allows you to place limits on max range, and min and max altitude. I extended the range from the default 1500 feet to 2400 feet, and had no problems with connectivity as long as I pointed the transmitter at the drone. I have yet to try further distances - as it is, at 2400 feet, the drone is practically invisible and silent.
I have been being conservative on run times, usually calling it quits at 35% or so, but still have been getting over a half hour on a charge. The transmitter has more capacity, so there should never be a time when it runs out before the drone.
Two minor quibbles - the recharger will either charge the drone battery OR the transmitter, but not both. I plan to buy another recharger so I don't have to change cables back and forth. Also, the throttle has a spring that returns it to a middle setting - I'd rather have no spring, so that the throttle stays in place if I release the stick.
When the drone was released into the air, then began to circle, it was the coolest thing. This drone, was so much fun to fly. And easy right out the box.
I really dont understand the bad reviews. I have no prior experience and successfully landed the drone 3 times during the flight session. I suggest to anyone who buys it, to make your first flight in an area you are familiar with. That way you know the attitude you will need to maintain to avoid any crashes. Great drone at a great price.
UPDATE: July 5, 2018
So, back in May of this year, I was flying my Diso at the same location. The drone lost connection and the "Free Flight Pro" app suddenly crashed as the drone was flying away from me.
I restarted the app, but could not reconnect to the Diso. The drone returned to my GPS location approximately 10 minutes later.
I then tried to reconnect to the Disco via the aforementioned app. Failed each time. Restarted the app, tried everything I could. Just had to helplessly watch my drone do donuts in the sky.
Suddenly, without warning, the Disco spiraled down out of the sky, crashing to the ground with enough force to eject the nose clone glass and camera, which could not be recovered. The wings were dislodged, but surprisingly, undamaged.
About a month ago I decided to contact Parrot to see if they could repair the drone. They were very helpful, and after providing them with the information they requested, I shipped just the damaged section of the Disco, which was the main body with the nose cone to Parrot.
I was told by a Parrot represenative that they were going to replace the drone, and was waiting for one to come in stock.
Today, UPS delivered my Parrot Disco. But not just a new body with a new camera. Parrot sent me the whole FPV package, which is awesome because I now have a set of replacement wings, and can use the other Skycontroller 2 and glasses to pilot my Bebop 2.
Like i said before, I love the company. Can't wait to buy the latest drone from Parrot, the Anafi.

Es de uso muy sencillo ya que está configurado de tal forma que no se pueden hacer malabares como loopings, ni barrenas. El despegue lo puede hacer una sola persona y no requiere haber volado antes con aviones de RC.
Muy importante informarse acerca de la normativa de vuelo de drones para evitar sanciones importantes y por supuesto hacerse un seguro de responsabilidad civil para posibles casos de daños a terceros.
En zonas abiertas, fuera de cascos urbanos, disfrutarás como un enano. jeje.
Ora è assolutamente conveniente.
Per chi come me è nuovo dei droni bisogna prenderci un po' la mano con i collegamenti Skycontroller2, smartphone e drone.
Una volta collegato, è uno spettacolo farlo volare e sopratutto è molto bello volare in soggettiva e rivedere i video.
é tutto molto comodo e facile da gestire.
Ovviamente non è un quadricottero, quindi non può stare fermo in aria ma deve viaggiare.
Inoltre all'inizio occorre fare l'aggiornamento del firmware. Ci si impiega in tutto 5'.
Un consiglio. La prima volta volate in zone molto ampie.L'atterraggio richiede che si prenda la mano con le misure.
NOTA: Il visore lo potete usare da solo anche per vedere la VR con lo smartphone!
Out of the box Erfahrung:
Die Drohne war die erste 'Flugzeug' Drohne, die ich jemals fliegen würde (statt einer Hubschrauberdrohne) mit so, als ich die Box erhielt, hatte ich keine Ahnung, was mich erwartet. Ehrlich gesagt war ich sehr beeindruckt und neugierig zugleich. Ich stellte mir Fragen wie: Hat der Propeller die Macht, die Maschine fliegen lassen? Es gibt keine Antenne, wie funktioniert es verbinden, wenn es Hunderte von Metern entfernt ist? Aber ich war auch beeindruckt: die Drohne sah groß und schön aus. Der Entwurf sieht wie ein Vogel und ein Flugzeug gleichzeitig aus. Es ist leicht, schwarz und weiß gefärbt und einfach zu montieren. Alles in allem war mein erster Eindruck gut: es ist ein cooles Spielzeug für erwachsene Männer.
Erster Versuch zu fliegen: zu viel Wind.
Dann fing ich an zu fliegen. Eifrig wie ich anfangen wollte, war mein erster Versuch mit zu viel Wind und ohne die Anweisungen richtig zu lesen. Es war ein großer Spaß, aber ich habe nicht die Drohne für das, was es bedeutet: das Gefühl, ich fliege selbst. Eigentlich mit so viel Wind war es unmöglich, es zu fliegen und obwohl ich es geschafft, die Drohne fast zurück zu bekommen, wo ich war, landete es hart und hinter einem Haus. Ich lernte eine Lektion in meinem erste Versuch: stellen Sie sicher, das Wetter ist gut und lesen Sie die Anweisungen.
Zweiter Versuch zu fliegen: unter Kontrolle
Beim zweiten Versuch konnte ich die Drohne unter Kontrolle bringen. Ich habe es nicht mit meinem Smartphone noch nicht verbunden. Der Flug war cool, die Landung kontrolliert und ich fühlte mich mehr Vertraut mit der Parrot Disco FPV.
Fliegen wie ein Vogel
Ich bin immer noch am lernen, die Drohne zu fliegen, vor allem mit dem Headset auf. Ich habe es geschafft, es auch getan ein paar Mal, aber aufgrund der knappen Freizeit und eine Abhängigkeit von guten Wetter, muss ich noch die bessere Erfahrung mit der Parrot Disco FPV zu bekommen. Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass ich in wenigen Wochen damit wie ein Vogel fliegen werde, und wenn ich das tue, werde ich wahrscheinlich alle meine Freunde mitnehmen, um das gleiche zu erleben.
Die Drohne zu Fliegen ist ein tolles Erlebnis und ein schönes Hobby zu haben, um den anstrengenden Tagen mit der Arbeit und Familie zu entkommen empfehle es jedem.
Moi qui n'est jamais fait d'aeromodelisme c'est quand même assez simple à piloter si vous êtes à l'aise avec une manette type xbox.
Bonnes sensations.
Il faut s'en servir dans des zones dégagées c'est sûr mais ça se trouve facilement pour le peu que vous habitiez un peu à la campagne. Je vais prendre la défense de parrot : bcp de commentaires critiquent cet aspect là mais déjà quand vous contactez parrot pour avoir des renseignements sur le produit ils n'hésitent pas du tout à vous l'indiquer. Et puis dans notice c'est clairement explicité. Donc quand vous achetez ce produit vous l'achetez en connaissance de cause...
Pour l'instant je ne le fais fait voler qu'avec le skycontroller. Sans smartphone.
Donc après possibilité de piloter l'engin avec smartphone plus avec le casque. Au fur et à mesure de la prise en main vous pouvez l'envoyer de plus en plus loin.
Donc une bonne perspective de progression.
Pour le fameux atterrissage. Ras. Moi je ne vois pas où est le pb. Il s'arrête un peu brutalement parfois certes mais pour l'instant aucun dégât à déclarer. Je le fais atterrir dans de l'herbe un peu haute. Ça va nickel. Donc la une fois de plus parrot est très clair sur le sujet. Ils disent même qu'il faut mieux utilisé le produit sur une piste d'aeromodelisme. Mais franchement pourvu que vous ayez un espace dégagé et de l'herbe un peu épaisse ça va nickel. Évidemment si le vous le fais atterrir sur une route ou de la terre passez votre chemin. Mais tout ça est logique dessous n'ayant pas de roues.....
Bref c'est de la balle foncez !
Les gens hallucinent quand ils le voient voler ! C'est beau et le son est top.
L'appli fonctionne nickel. Hyper clair. Intuitif.
J'ai un Huawei p9 lite. Le fpv fonctionne parfaitement. Hors parrot me disait que ce n'était pas sûr... Je trouve parrot honnête voir trop. Il me conseillait un bebop 2 dans un 1er temps à 499€ ald de 899€ pour le disco en disant plus sport à piloter + de la place pour le faire voler + de l'herbe pour le faire atterrir. Et en fait le disco est top. Je kiffe !!
