Parrot AR.Drone 2.0

Although a home-build quadrocopter community has sprung up recently, most of us don't have the time or the know-how to construct our own drone. Thankfully, you don't need an engineering degree to start flying quadrocopters. The Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 is ready to fly straight from the box, and controlled by wi-fi using an ordinary smartphone or tablet.

There's a high-definition camera inside the casing, and after installing the AR.FreeFlight 2.0 on your mobile device, you can download games and geolocation data on the best flying zones. In fact, the only thing you need to learn is how to fly the thing properly. Otherwise, you'll be spending a lot of money on superglue.
