Parrot Mambo FPV brings drone racing home
Last year I took control of the Parrot Mambo. Now you can convert it in to a unique FPV racer experience.
The Parrot Mambo gets new skills thanks to the introduction of an FPV HD camera. It is also packing the all new Parrot Cockpitglasses 2 (FPV goggles) and accompanying Parrot Flypad piloting controller.
The Parrot Mambo FPV opens the pilot to an exciting world of fully immersive, drone racing experiences.
Furthermore, it is perfect to fly indoors as well as out in the garden. The Parrot Mambo FPV transforms its environment into a giant playground – turning everyday items around the home into obstacles and racetracks.
It also comes fully equipped with a range of brand new piloting modes. These will help you to perfect your skills before a big race.
The Parrot Mambo FPV creates an all new flying experience, putting you at the heart of the cockpit, and into the role of the drone’s pilot!
Miniature HD Camera for live streaming and video recording
The HD camera (120° FOV) easily attaches to the top of the Parrot Mambo FPV drone using Smart Block technology. Shove in your microSD card and record pictures and video footage.
The drone’s view is transmitted to an inserted smartphone. Great for a bird’s eye view when exploring your surroundings and creating short videos (720p format). You can also share your shots with friends.
Additionally, thanks to the live streaming feature and the Parrot Cockpitglasses 2, the immersive flight experience is at the control of the pilot.

Parrot Cockpitglasses 2
Insert your smartphone into the Parrot Cockpitglasses 2, and you are away. The glasses themselves are compact, lightweight and foldable.
Their innovative design is comfortable as well as offering an optimal immersive optical experience. This is achieved by the glasses adjustable interpupillary distance and a wide 96° field of view.
When worn, you are fully immersed at the heart of action. Enjoy the excitement of soaring through doorways and weaving between furniture.
Your surroundings will pass before your eyes as you enjoy every second of each incredible flight.
Expert or beginner pilots, everyone has their own style
Mambo is a quadcopter that offers awesome flight stability.
The Parrot Mambo embeds the highest performing technologies and an ultra-powerful autopilot. Quick and agile, it delivers bursts of speeds of up to 30km/h – and as an expert of stunt flying, a range of airborne acrobatics!
Easy to handle and agile, the drone comes with three piloting modes especially designed to suit all skillsets – from beginner to expert.
Easy
The ideal mode for those at the early stages of piloting a drone. Everything is under control in this mode, making sure that the Parrot Mambo is stabilised both horizontally and vertically – and the autopilot assists you on each maneuver.

Drift
The horizontal stabilization is disconnected. The Parrot Mambo flies with quick precision and performs sharp turns – creating a truly dynamic piloting experience.
Racing
Finally, this is the ultimate race mode. The autopilot is completely disconnected and piloting is at your complete control. The Parrot Mambo in Racing Mode doesn’t provide any assistance, stability is completely managed by you, and all the flight settings are in your experienced hands.
Parrot Flypad, high-precision performance
Piloting via the FreeFlight Mini app, Parrot Mambo FPV is also equipped, as a standard, with the Parrot Flypad controller.
It offers precise piloting thanks to the customisable joystick and button controls, with an accompanying reach of up to 100 meters.
Parrot Mambo FPV includes a new Power battery, offering up to 10 minutes of flight time in one charge (without accessory).
Price and availability
Parrot Mambo FPV will be available later this month at Argos, Currys, Amazon.co.uk and at parrot.com.
