    That was my major complaint about my rolling spider the fact it needs an app, thanks for reviewing it I may have to consider it (hopefully they will have software improvements too!)

    I own a rolling spider, it sits on a shelf and collects dust.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  7 років тому +3

      Yep, mine has been on the shelf since I reviewed it. I only brought it back out to try it with the FlyPad.

      did you noticed any range extension? as they promised?

    I just used a bluetooth controller with my phone and the app worked just fine with it. You don't need a special controller. Any bluetooth game controller should work on your phone. You can even use a PS4 controller in bluetooth mode.

    I don't think drone is connected to remote the phone might be hub now make it laggy cause it has to listen to remote then send to quad

    can you do a set up for phone?

  • @789jonathon
    @789jonathon 7 років тому +2

    It has to go through the phone because it is a gen 1 parrot mini drone the get 2s like the mambo and the swat etc. you can connect straight to the drone and it extends the range! And the gen 2s don't do the 1/4 turn yaws, they do a full yaw, feels just like a real drone with altitude hold!

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  7 років тому +1

      Good to know! Thanks for the info! :)

    • @kwintberg

      is the Airborne Mars capable of extending the range?

    • @789jonathon
      @789jonathon 7 років тому

      Kwint Berg not sure if that's a gen 1 or 2 easiest way to tell is the charge time if it's around 25 min or so it's a gen 2 if it's around an hour it's a gen 1.

    • @kwintberg
      @kwintberg 7 років тому

      then its a 2 gen can charge in 25 min :p.
      btw wasn't abel to find how to connect it directly to the drone than via the app. Any idea how it can be done? so i can try this out in my local shop before buying it.

  • @bizarreworld2002
    @bizarreworld2002 7 років тому

    Great video. Can you briefly state how to connect both the phone and flypad to the drone? Do they both use bluetooth?

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  7 років тому +1

      Yeah, they all use Bluetooth. So, have Bluetooth turned on on your phone, then launch the app, power up the quad, and power up the flypad, and they should all sync up.

    • @bizarreworld2002

    @nirvanbhoyroo6941 7 років тому

    Is that a new rolling spider? Because most of them had battery problems

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  7 років тому +2

      Nope, this is the same one I reviewed ages ago, with the same battery. I would suspect any "battery problem" would be due to user error, and new users that do not know how to properly maintain a LiPo battery.

    • @jasonchuckmars5037
      @jasonchuckmars5037 7 років тому

      Nirvan Frost the battery problem can easily be resolved one of 2 ways most ppl just push the 2 connectors alil to the left or right it's a connection issue I believe from users crashing a lot which causes the battery pins to bend alil ez fix or send it back to get another

    Do you get more range with the FlyPad

    • @theimacman

      I'd imagine so, but I never test range, so I don't really know.

    Do you recommend this for me I'm 13?

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  7 років тому

      Yeah, sure. :) But it's quite expensive, especially if you want this controller with it too.

    • @jasonchuckmars5037
      @jasonchuckmars5037 7 років тому

      Hector Lombert now the rolling spider is onsale for 40.00 and the pad is 40.00 so it's relatively affordable but it can take a beating and keep going.If you want a deal just get the reg rolling spider cuz their all the same just the spider is the cheapest cuz no cannon or grabber but I don't want those things I never use the wheels.I just found out recently my target is a phantom and parrot carrier now batteries r 19.99 with a charger not bad they were sold out of rolling spiders they had bebops onsale and swings.I really like the bebop 2 that this is sick with all the bells and whistles

  • @TheBigb1973

    will there be a mavic pro review?

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  7 років тому

      Nope. I have hard feelings towards DJI, and that model is simply too expensive for me to buy just to review it for my viewers, even though I know people would probably really like to see me review it. I just don't feel right giving that company any more exposure. Sorry. :(

    • @aidanmco
      @aidanmco 7 років тому

      Flyin' Ryan RC
      I love my phantom. What happened to create such hard feelings toward DJI? They seem like a pretty great company.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  7 років тому +1

      aidan c. DJI markets their products irresponsibly. They sold the Phantom as "for beginners" which brought a lot of irresponsible people, doing irresponsible stuff, into this hobby. NO ONE should start with a quad like a Phantom, and DJI never should've made it sound like a model that someone can or should start with. DJI is 100% responsible for the negative connotation that this hobby now has ("drones"), and also for the government cracking down on us with regulations. This hobby went without any major laws for decades before DJI came along. :/ They also sponsor their products to people like that moron Casey Neistat, who flies over cars and people in DOWNTOWN NYC, and even causes fly-aways in the middle of the city, because of his carelessness. But DJI does nothing to sponsor actual RC channels or reviewers. They also have awful customer service, from what I've heard.

    • @TheBigb1973
      @TheBigb1973 7 років тому +1

      Other companies sell higher end drones too that do the samething as Phantoms do, but in the end it's the shitty users to blame. . Just like a gun. You can't blame the manufacture for misuse of their guns. it's the irresponsible person behind the trigger to blame. Drones can't fly themselves until you put a douche bag behind the sticks to mess it up for the rest of us.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  7 років тому +1

      TheBigb1973 Other companies have followed DJI's lead. ;) And I completely disagree with the comparison to guns (and don't get me wrong, I am very much pro-gun). DJI has directly marketed this to irresponsible users... they have even straight up put it in the hand of irresponsible users (see Casey Neistat). This is not a matter of irresponsible users just happening upon DJI's products... DJI actively pursued those users, and told them they could fly this thing. It would be like Glock marketing directly to mentally unstable people. At that point, you can't just blame the mentally unstable... you would have to blame Glock for marketing to them.

  • @Samstrex
    @Samstrex 7 років тому +1

    I've had the rolling spider. To be honest, it is extremely overrated and overpriced for what you get. Parrot is a pretty disappointing company overall. I have the jumping sumo which I bought for 200 dollars in 2014, and it lasted about a month with gentle use. I'd never buy from parrot again, and I'd only buy the rolling spider for $40 max. They also need to make new things (that are affordable). I understand the new releases, but they are all about $500. They've also modded the jumping sumo and rolling spider, but it's really nothing new. Nice review, though.

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  7 років тому

      Did you see my review of the Parrot Swing yesterday? It's actually very nice, and $150, which I'm sure will come down even more in a few months.

    • @Samstrex
      @Samstrex 7 років тому

      Flyin' Ryan RC yeah, it was a great review, and I am kind of a new person to drones. I've been flying them for a year, but I crash them, a lot. Isn't the build quality of the swing, well, flimsy?

    • @theimacman
      @theimacman  7 років тому

      It's foam, which is pretty standard for planes. And, while it's really hard to crash that thing, I did hit a tree once, and my house, and no damage was done. :)
