The good:
A blast to fly indoors or outdoors. Outdoors the range isn't super long, but I wouldn't expect that. Maybe 100 feet? If it looses contact with the controller, it hovers.
Fast turning.
Altitude hold works great.
It's even easy to fly if you turn off the altitude hold
I've crashed and crashed and with the hull on (prop guards) it is super durable. Once it makes contact, it shuts off and falls down. I've only lost one prop when hitting a bunch of bushes (don't ask). but I haven't broken anything yet. I even ran smack into a tree at FULL speed and nothing broke! Awesome!
The not as good:
The FPV googles are difficult to set up. It took me days to figure out how to connect them. And there is very little information on the web. I have to follow an exact process or they won't connect. Once they do connect, they loose the connection after a few minutes. And the range for the video feed is very short. I have to pretty much follow the drone around the house or it looses contact. I can't fly it into other rooms without following it.
FPV connection procedure:
1) Fire up drone
2) Connect drone to phone app (it connects through Bluetooth)
3) Connect remote to phone app
4) Put camera on top of drone after already connected
5) I get a message that I need to connect via Wifi. So, I connect via WiFi
6) Now it's ready to fly with the googles.
If I don't follow that exact procedure, it won't recognize the camera and can't be flown via FPV mode.
But overall, for the price, I think it's very fun to fly and worth the money. So I'm giving it a 4.6 which rounds up to a 5.
Note: The grabber and cannon shooter did NOT come with this version. Only the camera.
It's harder to fly these without enough light for the down-facing camera to see texture. In a dim room they drift around an don't hover as steadily.
Most of my problems and crashes learning to fly it were from the smartphone app. When my FlyPad controller showed up, my drone piloting skills got much better much quicker. The app does have more options and settings, but the FlyPad connects quickly and does all of what I need to get practice flying the drone.
The Mambo handles a lot like a Bebop 2, but at a couple ounces instead of most of a pound, the Mambo is safer to fly inside. I believe most of the skills practiced on the Mambo are transferable to my Bebops and whatever's next. I was a pilot most of my life and sitting in a cockpit at the controls was not helpful for learning to fly a drone! The Mambo has been the best for me, an elder geek, to learn.
One of the Drone’s four propellers did not work, and I should have been alerted. It's a simple issue. Faulty Product, Return, Done. Because it was a gift, my father didn’t want to bother me and talked directly with Parrot. The Parrot Customer Service may assume that it was crashed and broken, but this is not the case. The customer service gave him the run around for 5 weeks needing proof of this, a photo of that, a video of this, more proof of that. After 6 weeks he told me, and I contacted Amazon. The issue was resolved immediately. Again, it’s a simple issue. Product returned. BRAVO AMAZON. That will keep me coming back to Amazon. But not to Parrot. The replacement drone will not be a Parrot Drone, but it will be purchased through Amazon.

La connectivité Bluetooth permet une mise en route rapide et une connexion facile avec un smartphone ou une tablette, pour un contrôle intuitif via l'application dédiée. On peut également apprécier la compatibilité avec les lunettes FPV pour une expérience de vol immersive en vue subjective.
En parlant de vol, le Mambo Fly est capable d'effectuer diverses acrobaties impressionnantes telles que des flips en avant, en arrière et sur les côtés, ce qui en fait un excellent choix pour les amateurs de cascades aériennes.
La qualité de construction est solide, avec des matériaux durables qui peuvent résister aux chocs légers et aux atterrissages moins délicats. De plus, les hélices sont protégées par des gardes en plastique, ce qui réduit le risque de dommages lors de collisions accidentelles.
En ce qui concerne l'autonomie, la batterie offre des vols d'une durée respectable, généralement entre 6 et 8 minutes, selon l'utilisation et les acrobaties effectuées. Il est recommandé d'avoir des batteries de rechange pour prolonger le plaisir de voler.
En résumé, le Parrot MiniDrone Quadricoptère Mambo Fly est un petit bijou technique qui offre des performances étonnantes malgré sa taille. Que vous soyez débutant ou pilote expérimenté, ce drone vous procurera une expérience de vol agréable et divertissante. Pour ses fonctionnalités avancées, sa stabilité en vol et son design robuste.
The WIFI features aren't the smoothest but it does work if you are patient. The goggles are a pretty cool idea, but the experience is a bit off. It can be disorienting and I had a hard time navigating by goggles alone.
Regardless, at this price point I think the value is great.
