“With Rolling Spider and Jumping Sumo, Parrot creates the MiniDrones, technologically advanced and very playful connected robots piloted with a smartphone or a tablet via the free FreeFlight 3 application.
• Parrot Rolling Spider: an ultra-compact flying drone with impressive agility. It flies indoor and outdoor with great speed and stability. It rips through the air, loops-the-loop and thanks to its removable wheels, rolls from floor to ceiling!
• Parrot Jumping Sumo: a responsive robot with a strong personality which rolls, zigzags, circles, takes 90° turns and which in a flash, jumps up to 80cm in height and length! With its embedded camera it immerses you into the heart of any adventure!
With Parrot MiniDrones ‘Rolling Spider’ and ‘Jumping Sumo’ everything around you becomes an excuse to play and the world transforms into a giant playground!
Races, slaloms and acrobatics in the air or on the ground, jumping obstacles… or for the pleasure of seeing them evolve, Parrot MiniDrones shake up the foundations of the traditional toy world and make it leap into the era of drones…”

*@_@*
I want. Now. Gime. Now… Please…
Loving those GoPro shots with the extended arm. Looks as if you have a jib
with you. Nice!
I wanna play! D:
they look great for toys, thanks for vid.
Would you be able to attach a camera to the little quad copter?
No I just bought it and the camera is on the mini drone..
Can’t wait for the big sized one by the military in at least in 2 decades
How much weight could the Quad-Copter carry? Could you build a rig to house
a GoPro (or similar) to hang underneath? Pretty cool “toy”.
Will they be available in the US
I must have them ;)
This looks incredibly fun. I so wanna play with one.
I want one
I’m impressed at the price for the quadcopter. Will wait for your proper
review before I consider purchasing though.
pretty cool.
Just tape a go pro to it bam a flying go pro
Want!!!
Looks cool, nice review blunty!
Wasn’t this stuff militarized a long time ago?
What’s your point? Quite a lot of the technology in consumer goods and toys
started out as military hardware.
A lot of things get militarized, technically everything can get militarized
even a loaf of bread.
If you haven’t seen Blunty the promo videos are a laugh also thanks for
explaining the drone a bit more other r/c stuff tends to run away if you
leave the controls 😛 also when you get the sumo send it on a mission it
got trip plotting or similar :D
oo fun stuff!
Aaaaaannnnndddd I was thinking I could actually get this and afford this
UNTIL 1:02
Amazing !
My birthday list just got an item :)
About time a review is listed good job Mr.Blunty Sir.
Very VERY cool
The tilt control feature on the ipad to control the jumping sumo looks a
little awkward. Otherwise they look like a lot of fun!
Oh and the footage looks so crisp! Love your work.
It’s actually not as awkward as it looks. It’s quite intuitive and natural
feeling really.
Wait so the advert where they fly around the house and come back to the
controllers, can’t happen? Because you can’t see where it is on the phone?
I want one!
Not gonna lie… the child in me wants one…
the adult in me is throwing money in his savings account for the kid in me.
you think you could mount a GoPro to the spider or is that too heavy? can
it pick up or hold anything?
You had me at, “And for the six people out there using Windoze 8.1”.
Being a Linux guy I found that very very funny. Cheers!
I think u should get jumping sumo cuz I have it and only jumping sumo has a
camera, others not
This has a camera too, but you can only take pictures.
Really? Ok
Yes, it’s on the bottom of the drone. Weird af but thats how they did it.
Getting one tmr (:
also where did u buy it from?
+-FAST3R i appreciate you answering my questions. thanks
No problem man. (:
Love to help others

I really want the sumo but not too bothered about the copter.
SO getting these for christmas!
Getting this tomorrow looks so much fun
