Doesn't connect

Kulgy

I have the parrot mambo and it will not connect to the phone with the new update

Fun & so easy to use, my dad operated it better than I did lol. With 7 minutes of battery life & 4 minutes of figuring out the orientation, what can you really do? It gets you so interested tho. I want the disco so bad now, but that price just doesn't seem worth it judging the materials used in the swing. Good for beginners. -Auto land/takeoff!is like your bail out button before it gets out of your reach. -take off is great! Can even do it from your hand. Jumps up about 3ft and may sway left or right 1-3 feet. Def need fpv and the rest of the goodies. I wanted achieve hovering above my residence and providing full perimeter surveillance for even a few seconds and was not able to achieve that with this unit. Needs video. To hard to hover exactly above an object and snap a photo.

Media Transfer Issue

For some reason, if I want to transfer any pictures from my Parrot Swing to my iPhone, I have to transfer the image one by one. If I try to transfer more than two images, it gives me an error message.

Emergency button

D_WEB

Hello parrot, I was flying my minidrone, and the thing went absolutely crazy. ( this was one of the few times it's done this) Anyway I couldn't figure out where the emergency button was, can you add that function back in the next update?

lack of control and range

1hour19min

the parrot minidrone rolling spider uses bluetooth which severely limits range outdoors compared to cheaper drones like the sharper image dx-3 and also seems slow to react by comparison. The sensors do allow steady hovering at altitude over a floor or whatever though. Parrot eliminated the "emergency" motor stop button which drops their products down in the rankings as the rolling spider is known to shoot into the sky sometimes due to an altimeter glitch and the missing emergency button was the only way to stop it. I've pretty much quit toying with the rolling spider as I've found the cheaper dx-3 to have far superior range, speed, stability, agility. flight time, and photo capabilities.

The app lost my drone

I don't have my drone because it wouldn't come back and the app wouldn't let me bring it back down

App continually crashes-IPhone 6

This app can't stay alive 10 seconds after the legal screen and continually crashes!

How Do I Record?!

GunterAxe

Ok, I love this thing with my Rolling Spider, but how do I record?! The app works well and so does the drone, but the camera is not working. If someone, or even Parrot could answer me, I will thank you. Thanks if you read my review, and if you didn't, you will never know that I wrote this for you.

Goes up for 2 seconds the comes back down
