lack of control and range – FreeFlight Mini Review

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.
