Except I think this will turn out to be crap. Sorry, but after messing with the Mikrokopter, Arduino, UAVX, Draganflyer, and other multi-rotor craft for only a year I believe there is no way they can deliver "gamer worthy" flight dynamics for under $2000. It may fly. It may have decent video. And it may react to targets. But for the prices they mention there is no way it will do them all well.
I am happy to be wrong. If I am then I would consider selling off all my expensive and highly technical hardware for this cheaper and simpler solution. But because stuff like that never happens I have a feeling the Parrot IS too good to be true. If it is true, it will be too expensive to survive in the mass market and it will live as a thread on this forum started by the niche enthusiasts. Which is probably where it belongs.
Really...they lost my faith when they said you could use it for VR gaming. Foam frame or not...the first time it crashes out of view and those blades come down onto an animal, a person, or a valued possession, there will be a stink. Saying it can be used for gaming, IMHO, disrespects the safety factor required for any rotor- or prop-driven aircraft and decreases the credibility of the product.
Like I said, I hope I'm wrong.
