Parrot AR.Drone now available for pre-order at Brookstone
Good news, everyone! The long-awaited Parrot AR.Drone (as seen being crashed into one of Parrot’s PR reps by yours truly) is finally available for pre-order over at Brookstone. And as promised back at E3, the iPhone-controlled quadricopter will be available for US $299.
It’s available in a couple of different color schemes, comes with a free “flight bag” (if you’re within the first 300 orders), and requires a shipping fee of $10. Unfortunately, there’s no shipping outside of the United States, and of course, the iPhone or iPod touch is sold separately. According to the pre-order page, orders are “expected to ship” on September 3rd, 2010; that’s just over a month from now.
The $299 sticker price is a little steep if you ask me, but then again, if you have a need for an iPhone-controlled quadricopter with not one but two cameras on board, you probably have a couple hundred bucks to put into it. If you do order one, be sure to keep us updated on when it ships, and let us know what you think of the device. Happy flying!
