00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,040
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom glass visit

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,599
store. phantom.in screen protectors out there

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:13,120
as well as hyperx so we're here in the parrot Booth

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:19,320
where they're showing off their latest bbop drone this thing is a whole other

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:25,039
Beast it makes the AR Drone 2.0 look like an absolute toy it's got eight

6
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:29,720
times the power on its CPU it's got a quad core GPU it's got 8 gigs of onboard

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:34,760
storage it's got a 14 megapixel 1080p camera camera it's got a 180° fisheye

8
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:39,440
style lens but they're doing some special Tom Foolery with the uh with the

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:43,960
image to make sure that horizontal lines don't get distorted it has an array of

10
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:49,120
sensors that again makes the AR Drone 2.0 look like kind of bad so it's got a

11
00:00:46,879 --> 00:00:52,879
vertical camera it's also got an ultrasonic sensor it's got a pressure

12
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:57,399
sensor that takes over once the ultrasonic sensor loses its range at I

13
00:00:55,079 --> 00:01:03,160
think it's about 8 m high but no one's looking at me ultrasonic goes around 8 m

14
00:00:59,519 --> 00:01:04,360
High cor okay oh okay sorry excuse me so

15
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:10,159
it's the high-speed camera and the ultrasonic sensor under about 5 m and

16
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:14,360
then going above that is the pressure sensor it is extremely lightweight it's

17
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:18,720
very robust feeling the whole thing comes apart and this thing they are

18
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:22,799
showing off some unbelievable video footage and all of

19
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:27,680
their marketing materials for this bad boy thanks to the image stabilization

20
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:32,159
that's available with it so looking at sort of the typical shaky camera versus

21
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:36,439
what this guy can do is amazing and it's not just about the image quality either

22
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,920
the stability of this thing in Flight is unbelievable the demo that they're

23
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,360
running here has this bizarre like

24
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:47,840
surreal almost looking choreographed dance and they had something like eight

25
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:51,960
or nine Bops out there flying around in a little cage doing flipping over doing

26
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:58,360
all kinds of crazy stuff this thing looks bananas so you'll get around I

27
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:01,119
believe it's 200 M on your smartphone

28
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:05,119
250 M range on your smartphone or your tablet if you're controlling it directly

29
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:09,840
cuz it still works with the same free flight app that we've seen before well

30
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:14,200
by by same I mean significantly improved or if you pick up their new controller

31
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:18,760
you can go ahead and throw your phone or your tablet into that and you get full

32
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,480
joystick controls like well really anyone who wants to have much finer a

33
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,200
much finer degree of control over the Drone would want to have but there's

34
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:32,680
another benefit as well it actually comes with a wireless range extender so

35
00:02:29,959 --> 00:02:38,080
you can take that 250 M range and extend it to 2 kilm and while okay you're not

36
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,720
going to necessarily get a perfect video feed if the thing is to freaking

37
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:47,239
kilometers away flying around getting aerial footage but the good news is that

38
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:51,400
the onboard camera will record correctly even if that feed is not necessarily

39
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:55,720
correct now another cool thing is they're already talking about support

40
00:02:53,239 --> 00:03:01,200
for the Oculus so you can act you can literally fly around in the air in

41
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:04,760
virtually R in Virtual reality with this device it comes with a couple of

42
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:12,280
batteries but I I guess it better at the price this bad boy is not cheap what do

43
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:14,480
it run about $500 US $500 US yeah but I

44
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:18,879
definitely want one I'm looking right at you guys both of you we got to try this

45
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,480
out that pretty much does it for the bbop I guess I did miss that there's GPS

46
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:28,040
so if you program a flight path that'll help it to return home and whoa I think

47
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:30,879
my uh my next subject here has come in

48
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:37,400
for a landing okay I'm going help you out so this is the rolling spider this

49
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:41,400
is actually a prototype right now this this particular model of it is not yet

50
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:46,560
released you can see it's actually got headlamps so this is obviously a much

51
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:52,159
smaller more uh more you know kid-friendly toy friendly fun friendly

52
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:54,760
drone very very robust so it can fly

53
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:57,519
without its Wheels like this or it can actually be equipped with large wheels

54
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,560
that will not only protect the propellers but also allow you to land it

55
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,920
roll it around along the ground take it off again and do all kinds of fun stuff

56
00:04:03,239 --> 00:04:10,040
with it the battery runs for about 8 minutes and what's cool about this one

57
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:14,519
is that it's got a lot of the same Technologies as the larger drone so you

58
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,560
still fly it with free flight 3.0 it's still got an ultrasonic sensor on the

59
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:21,320
bottom as well as a bottom mounted camera that it uses for stability in

60
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:25,240
order to keep it from drifting all over the place which can also take snapshots

61
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:30,600
but this one I wish I could tell you what the other things that are cool about it are but parrot won't tell me so

62
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:35,680
by the time this comes out later this year they're saying there are some

63
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:39,160
secrets that uh will make it even cooler

64
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:41,080
than it already is so I think that's

65
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,680
pretty much it for drones for us here at parot I do want to do a quick shout oh

66
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:50,880
okay okay they apparently they're going to bom bombard me with this thing

67
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:55,600
oh this is the Jumping Sumo and this one right here is actually a prototype now

68
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:59,960
we showed this before the first time they demoed it but the difference now is

69
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,320
that aside from being super lightweight super robust it's got a camera on the

70
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:08,360
front so you can spin it around in circles drive it around on your furniture all that kind of stuff now it

71
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:14,080
has some ruggedness improvement so the wheels are now they now have almost like

72
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:18,319
claws on them as they roll forward and they have added a spine to the back that

73
00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:23,000
they're saying allows it to climb even stairs so it actually will be able to

74
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:26,800
keep from tipping backwards over on itself and climb upstairs so uh looking

75
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:31,479
forward to playing around with this one as well all right now I think we're done

76
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:36,000
with the uh with the drones here at the parrot Booth guys I do want to thank our

77
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:39,080
sponsors so first up is Phantom glass these guys make darn awesome screen

78
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:43,919
protectors they're super clear they're made of Gorilla Glass they're scratch resistant they go on with no bubbles it

79
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,520
is pretty much impossible to get a bubble under it as well as hyperx they

80
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:51,039
got a great YouTube channel over at youtube.com/ hyperx they've got a lot of

81
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:55,840
great gaming content you're going to find links for both of those guys in the video description also below our vide
