00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.040
Linus Tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom glass visit

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:09.599
store. phantom.in screen protectors out there

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:13.120
as well as hyperx so we're here in the parrot Booth

00:00:11.840 --> 00:00:19.320
where they're showing off their latest bbop drone this thing is a whole other

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

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

00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:34.760
storage it's got a 14 megapixel 1080p camera camera it's got a 180° fisheye

00:00:32.599 --> 00:00:39.440
style lens but they're doing some special Tom Foolery with the uh with the

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:43.960
image to make sure that horizontal lines don't get distorted it has an array of

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

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:52.879
vertical camera it's also got an ultrasonic sensor it's got a pressure

00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:57.399
sensor that takes over once the ultrasonic sensor loses its range at I

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

00:00:59.519 --> 00:01:04.360
High cor okay oh okay sorry excuse me so

00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:10.159
it's the high-speed camera and the ultrasonic sensor under about 5 m and

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:14.360
then going above that is the pressure sensor it is extremely lightweight it's

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:18.720
very robust feeling the whole thing comes apart and this thing they are

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:22.799
showing off some unbelievable video footage and all of

00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:27.680
their marketing materials for this bad boy thanks to the image stabilization

00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:32.159
that's available with it so looking at sort of the typical shaky camera versus

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

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.920
the stability of this thing in Flight is unbelievable the demo that they're

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:43.360
running here has this bizarre like

00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:47.840
surreal almost looking choreographed dance and they had something like eight

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:51.960
or nine Bops out there flying around in a little cage doing flipping over doing

00:01:49.960 --> 00:01:58.360
all kinds of crazy stuff this thing looks bananas so you'll get around I

00:01:54.520 --> 00:02:01.119
believe it's 200 M on your smartphone

00:01:58.360 --> 00:02:05.119
250 M range on your smartphone or your tablet if you're controlling it directly

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:09.840
cuz it still works with the same free flight app that we've seen before well

00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:14.200
by by same I mean significantly improved or if you pick up their new controller

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

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:22.480
joystick controls like well really anyone who wants to have much finer a

00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:26.200
much finer degree of control over the Drone would want to have but there's

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:32.680
another benefit as well it actually comes with a wireless range extender so

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

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:41.720
going to necessarily get a perfect video feed if the thing is to freaking

00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:47.239
kilometers away flying around getting aerial footage but the good news is that

00:02:44.440 --> 00:02:51.400
the onboard camera will record correctly even if that feed is not necessarily

00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:55.720
correct now another cool thing is they're already talking about support

00:02:53.239 --> 00:03:01.200
for the Oculus so you can act you can literally fly around in the air in

00:02:58.440 --> 00:03:04.760
virtually R in Virtual reality with this device it comes with a couple of

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

00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:14.480
it run about $500 US $500 US yeah but I

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

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

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

00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:30.879
my uh my next subject here has come in

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

00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:41.400
is actually a prototype right now this this particular model of it is not yet

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:46.560
released you can see it's actually got headlamps so this is obviously a much

00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:52.159
smaller more uh more you know kid-friendly toy friendly fun friendly

00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:54.760
drone very very robust so it can fly

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:57.519
without its Wheels like this or it can actually be equipped with large wheels

00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:01.560
that will not only protect the propellers but also allow you to land it

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

00:04:03.239 --> 00:04:10.040
with it the battery runs for about 8 minutes and what's cool about this one

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

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

00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:21.320
bottom as well as a bottom mounted camera that it uses for stability in

00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:25.240
order to keep it from drifting all over the place which can also take snapshots

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

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:35.680
by the time this comes out later this year they're saying there are some

00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:39.160
secrets that uh will make it even cooler

00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:41.080
than it already is so I think that's

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

00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:50.880
okay okay they apparently they're going to bom bombard me with this thing

00:04:47.960 --> 00:04:55.600
oh this is the Jumping Sumo and this one right here is actually a prototype now

00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:59.960
we showed this before the first time they demoed it but the difference now is

00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:03.320
that aside from being super lightweight super robust it's got a camera on the

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

00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:14.080
has some ruggedness improvement so the wheels are now they now have almost like

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

00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:23.000
they're saying allows it to climb even stairs so it actually will be able to

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:26.800
keep from tipping backwards over on itself and climb upstairs so uh looking

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

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

00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:39.080
sponsors so first up is Phantom glass these guys make darn awesome screen

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

00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:47.520
is pretty much impossible to get a bubble under it as well as hyperx they

00:05:46.280 --> 00:05:51.039
got a great YouTube channel over at youtube.com/ hyperx they've got a lot of

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
