If the drone is being controlled by iPhone, iPad or Android, is it connected by Bluetooth or Wi-Fi? Would you explain how the connection works?

The drone connects to your device by WiFi. So the parrot drone broadcasts it's own WiFi network, and you just connect to it from your device, like if you were connecting to your router.

It's connected through Wi-Fi. I go into the setting in my iPhone or iPad. Find the drone and that's it!

Connection is made via wifi. The drone is also a wifi transmitter that creates a singular point to point wifi connection.

I haven't taken it on an airplane yet. As far as I am aware, it will only work by Bluetooth as this is the way it connects to the iPad mini.

Hey R. The AR Drone is its own wifi spot. (ie it has a built in wifi transmitter and receiver) After you turn the drone on, your Apple device will see it and want to connect to it. After you fallow the directions for both devices, you will have a closed wifi connection. It acts like a internet connection, but uses the same protocols. So yes and no, yes it uses the wifi you would use for the internet, but no you can not use the Drones wifi to get on to the internet.

It can be controlled wirelessly by an Ipad/Ipod/Iphone (iOS), Laptop (Mac/Window), Smartphone (Android). It does not have remote control.

If you mean can you drive it based on GPS, NO. Though it is a DJI NAZA Unit and so I see no reason why you can't plug in a arduino pilot and give it some waypoints. If you are talking about staying on point at a location (GPS Lock) YES - In GPS mode it is very responsive and when you let go of the controls it stops in mid air and hovers even in wind (18 mph today and kept within 1 meter) Tried that with the Blade 350 QX and was disappointed (more like 4 meters) pretty iffy.

your question is a bit cryptic. "Added" as in you have a Drone but now added a camera? Short of re-installing the latest version of Flight Controller software, or trying a different version from Parrot, I'd download the Drone 2.0 user quick start guide for some trouble shooting tips. If you are having a tough time getting the hang of the controller functions, "ARDrone Sim" is on iPhone or Android and is software that allows you to practice flying on your screen or computer, without actually engaging the Drone in the wild blue yonder until you are ready. Good Luck!

No - the app only controls the camera....there is no interface between the battery of the quad and the app..nor can you control the quad via the app.

The flying range is about 1000 feet. When it leaves the control zone it will return to hover 20 feet about the starting point as directed by the onboard GPS. In 30 seconds it will land where it took off from. The Wi-Fi range is about 200 feet. When the copter leaves the zone the camera will continue to operate according to the last instructions from your iphone. You will lose the image on the phone and know it is now out of range. Different cameras operate at different distances. The camera shown with the DJI Phantom FC40 will only transmit back to the iphone about 200 feet.

Yes it does, but only to the WiFi that the drone generates, that's the way the drone is controlled wirelessly.....

No, it bearly survive in normal conditions. I bought two hopeing v2 will be better than v1 and no. Limited control range due to iphone wifi dependence, reaponse is not optimum. If you really want a worthy drone check out DJI Phantom 2, worth the extra bucks.

The drone hosts a WiFi network your device can connect to. You won't have internet access while your controlling it.

So chapman, I don't need the Bluetooth thing to play music wirelessly. How did You get the ipad to play music to the receiver via wifi. Does the receiver comes out as a option in the ipad to play music wirelessly ? And how about the iPhone app does it work with the wifi or do I need to buy the Bluetooth adapter?

The receiver cannot control the transmitter so you cannot control the GoPro with the ground unit. I also highly advise against using the GoPro wifi app while your drone is in flight. The Phantom series of quadcopters operates on a similar frequency as wifi, so the wifi signal has a high potential of causing platform instability and/or loss of control. Drone Camps RC on youtube is a great resource for beginners and experts alike.

To the best of my knowledge no u cannot you have to use either a tablet running ios which is the i-pad or i-phone or a tablet that runs on the android operating system same goes with the smart phones they have to be android based or as mentioned earlier an i-phone. Hope this helps, if u get a chance try flying the drone it is alot of fun.

This presentation control is designed to connect to a device using the Bluetooth Mouse HID, so devices see it as a mouse. Apple doesn't want you to connect a mouse to your iPhone or iPad so their Bluetooth drivers don't include the Mouse HID profile, so this device won't work with any iPad or iPhone. I tested it with the new iPad air hoping Apple had come around, but still same story: doesn't work. I've also tested it with a lot of Android tablets an even phones and it works with all of them as Android does include a Mouse HID profile on its bluetooth drivers. So they key is to connect it to a device that has a Bluetooth Mouse HID profile like most Macs, PCs and Android phones.

Yes but it is a mod to the drone. Essentially you need a wifi extender. Picture the drone as a simple wifi hotspot like the one you probably have in your home. To have a better flying range you need a range extender. Parrot AR.Drone Quadricopter WiFi Range Extender Kit
