This is possibly the coolest gadget/toy/gizmo/thing you can ever get your hands on. The Parrot AR Drone 2.0 quadrocopter is now available in Malaysia.
Just like the original AR Drone, the 2.0 takes commands from your smartphone and can do some pretty amazing things in the air but beyond that, the 2.0 brings many other improvements to one really cool remote control toy.
The Parrot AR Drone 2.0 features a redesigned chassis that is stronger to better withstand bumps, knocks and the inevitable crashes while at the same time not being much heavier than the original. In addition, the camera on the AR Drone 2.0 is upgraded to a 720p capable unit. The operation software is improved as well including a significant UI update and several new features to play with like a flight data recorder.
Head over to after the jump for a demonstration video of the AR Drone 2.0 and details on where to get it in Malaysia.
The Parrot AR Drone 2.0 is selling for RM1,499 from a retailer we found on Facebook. Details here.
