FREEFLIGHT MINI

The official dedicated app for Parrot Minidrones*.

Pilot your drone via your smartphone or tablet

Download FreeFlight Mini free of charge to pilot Parrot Minidrones.





Intuitive piloting

FreeFlight Mini's easy-to-use interface makes piloting simple, even for beginner pilots. The app connects to your Minidrone via Bluetooth Low Energy or Wi-Fi.

Easy connectivity

The FreeFlight Mini App automatically detects which Parrot Minidrone you are using. Simply turn on your drone, activate Bluetooth on your smartphone/tablet, and open the application. Select your drone from the list that appears on the screen. Your drone will then connect and you are ready for take-off! If you’re using Mambo FPV, activate wifi on your iDevice and connect to your drone in the app.

List of drones compatible with this application: Parrot Mambo, Parrot Swing, Parrot Minidrones Airborne Night and Cargo, Hydrofoil*, and Rolling Spider.

*For Hydrofoil: place the Airborne Minidrone into the Hydrofoil structure, select Hydrofoil mode in settings, and start sailing across the water.

Parrot MAMBO FPV new features

The application will instantly recognize the FPV camera that you have connected to your Parrot Mambo. You can now save and transmit HD video content in real time! To completely immerse yourself in the FPV experience, simply place your iDevice in your Parrot Cockpit Glasses 2. You’ll see exactly what your drone sees and discover new, thrilling sensations thanks to this innovative function.

Become an FPV racing pilot using the three new pilot modes. Start with the Easy mode, which will keep your drone’s position in the air even after the controls have been released. Then, move on to Drift mode. This mode deactivates the horizontal stabilization, thus allowing for sharp turns and more complex maneuvers. Last but not least, push your piloting skills to the limit and try the new Racing mode. You’ll have complete control of the drone with no stabilization assistance. The possibilities are endless!

Acrobatics, flips & turns

From the home screen of the FreeFlight Mini app, you can easily access your settings for piloting, photos, and the "Parrot Cloud." You can also customize flight parameters, including: altitude, speed, and piloting mode (accelerometer, joypad). FreeFlight Mini app also includes fun features like one-touch flip:

  • Experience loops, barrel rolls, and high-speed 180-degree turns with Parrot Swing
  • Front/back/side flips with Parrot Mambo, Airborne Minidrones, Rolling Spider, and Hydrofoil*

*Only when it’s removed from the Hydrofoil structure and in flight mode

Parrot Minidrones are ultra-compact drones with impressive agility. They can fly both indoors and outdoors with great speed and stability.

Photos

All Parrot Minidrones can take dronies of you and your friends. You can also store images from your drone races taken by Parrot Swing in plane mode.

Customize your Flypad settings

The new Parrot Flypad allows you to pilot your Minidrone with extra-precision and control.

There are two ways to connect the controller to the Minidrone:

  1. Automatically and directly, without the use of a smartphone. This mode offers an increased flight range of up to 200 feet.
  2. Through your smartphone or tablet. This connection mode allows you to monitor your flight status on your device’s screen and simultaneously pilot the Minidrone using the controller.

You can customize your Flypad controls to suit your piloting preferences through the use of the FreeFlight Mini app. Turn on your Parrot Flypad and select it in the "controller" section of the app. From there, you can modify the button mapping and check battery life. When you start piloting, enjoy the optimized display of flight information (flight time and drone battery percentage) on your smartphone.

*To pilot Parrot Minidrone Jumping Night, Race, or Sumo, you need to download the FreeFlight Jumping app.
