We've got a burning desire to purchase such a toy. And after three weeks of waiting, a package arrived from the iHelicopters.net store. Until the last moment, I did not believe that this colossus would be able to fly under the control of an iPhone. I read a lot about how Apple gadgets control other gadgets, but until you try it yourself ...

The main control element is a small box that plugs into the headphone jack, converting audio signals to IR.

Launched on iPhone special utility from App Store– Free, [iTunes link]. This is a virtual control panel. At the first start, we select the model of our helicopter, activate the transmitter and prepare for takeoff.

It will not be difficult even for a child to understand the control keys. After 3-4 accidents, you can quite confidently fly from one room to another without hitting the closet once.

When fully refueled, the helicopter can fly for 10 minutes. Two tankers are required: one for the car (45 minutes to full charge), the other for the remote (120 minutes). The remote control has enough energy for about 15 full-fledged flights around the apartment with crashes and adventures. "Jet fuel" is supplied via USB-outputs via wires included in the set.

Spare blades are also included. For example, I already broke one, crashing at full speed into the TV.

At first, the son was afraid of an unknown flying object and hid in his bed, but then he got used to it and now every evening we arrange joint flights, getting great pleasure.

And in the end, watch the same famous video again. Unfortunately, you can't shoot your own video while flying a helicopter and holding a camera in your hand :)

Another video for half a minute.

The helicopter is sold on iHelicopter.net for 60 bucks + shipping to Russia. Great gift for kids and yourself :)

Since the launch of the app store App Store, developers created programs whose purpose is to expand the possible areas of application iPhone. There was a lot - from the scanner credit cards and flashlights, up to . It seems that almost with iPhone now you can control almost any device.

iSpy Helicopter- another device of this kind. In some ways, it resembles the concept of the Parrot AR Drone. iPhone or iPad, special application and a small transmitter that plugs into your iOS device's headphone jack - that's all you need to control your own mini helicopter.

Hardware component

iSpy Helicoptersmall device, measuring 19.5 x 4.3 x 10.6 cm. Such small dimensions make it possible to use the toy indoors, for which, in essence, it is intended. The helicopter rises into the air with the help of two pairs of blades, and changes direction with the help of a tail rotor, just like in a real flying machine. Since no one is immune from hard landings or collisions with obstacles, spare blades and a tail rotor are added to the kit.

At first glance, the helicopter looks quite fragile and delicate, as it consists of a large number intricate and precise details. However, it is very resistant to sudden bumps and drops. On the left side of the helicopter is a small power switch next to USB port to charge the battery.

A full charge of the battery lasts almost 45 minutes, and it lasts for 8-10 minutes of continuous flight. This is quite comparable to what other models of the same class offer. Unfortunately, the developers did not provide any battery status indicator in the device.

At the bottom of the toy is a whole range of equipment, including a built-in VGA camera and a microSD card slot. The device comes with a 512 MB memory card and an appropriate USB adapter for connecting to a computer.

It is worth recognizing that the quality of both the photo and the video taken by the camera iSpy Helicopter wants to be better. But what do you want from a camera with a resolution of 640 × 480, and even mounted on a vibrating platform? The only drawback is the lack of a microphone built into the helicopter. Except for the camera, otherwise iSpy Helicopter similar to standard toys of this type, with bright LED flight lights.

An example of shooting with an iSpy Helicopter camera

To control the helicopter with iPhone The transmitter is included with the device. This is a rather small and inconspicuous, if I may say so, device, about the same thickness and width as iPhone 5. But not only iPhone 5 can work with iSpy Helicopter. All models iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch may be compatible with the toy as per company information iHelicopters.

Two LEDs on the transmitter indicate the status - power on and charging. The transparent glass on the edge of the transmitter allows the passage of the helicopter control signal.

iSpy Helicopter indoor toy, since it cannot fly in bright sunlight and be far from the transmitter.

Software

To control the helicopter, you need to download the WL Toys app from the App Store. Unfortunately, the program is not optimized for either iPhone 5, nor for Retina displays of other devices. Perhaps this will be fixed by the developers in the near future. However, the application works with iOS 7.

After connecting the transmitter and activating the program, you must select the desired helicopter model on the start screen. All that is needed to start the flight is to turn on the power of the transmitter with the switch in the program. The application offers several basic controls. On the left is a slider to control the speed of rotation of the blades and select the flight altitude. On the right is a classic joystick responsible for moving the helicopter back and forth and rotating it around its axis.

It is also possible to control the aircraft using the smartphone's gyroscope, by tilting mobile device. There are also several buttons that allow you to use individual functions - take photos and shoot videos, control the side lights and others.

Flight

fly on iSpy Helicopter fun, but it still needs to be learned. The longer the flight time, the more confident the helicopter will “feel in the air”. The main thing is not to be too afraid to break it (it’s more worth worrying about your grandmother’s favorite vase). This is a fairly strong and resilient machine.

Conclusion

iSpy Helicopter is a very funny gadget and in a good way for expansion functionality iPhone. If the developers improved the camera parameters and increased the flying abilities of the device in open areas, then this would be an excellent “air spy”.

Buy iSpy Helicopter at a price of $70 is available on the official website of the company.

It would not be worth writing about it, but the nuance in the form of a control panel from your own phone is pushing.

Before that, I had the simplest helicopters. As you understand, this helicopter is not quite the simplest. That is, according to the classification of biologists, it is no longer an amoeba. Not yet a vertebrate, but not an amoeba, for sure.

Includes spare blades, screwdriver, charging cord, receiver.

This helicopter, as it should be in aviation, not the fastest aircraft, flew to me for three months. I already managed to get the money back, and I already forgot about him, like oppachki! PR pulled herself up and gave birth to a box about which I had already forgotten. The box turned out to be so wrinkled that there was no doubt that everything in it died, torn into atoms. It was all the more surprising, sorry for the tautology, surprise, when a completely unrumpled helicopter fell out of this already thousand-angle box.

So what's the point, you ask? What, so to speak, is different from most models? Yes, there is a nuance. This is because there is no remote control included. How not? Yes, that's it! For the remote control here is your smartphone. At first I also doubted, I thought our Asian brothers were cheating. An no. Everything is honest.

That's just one moment, teksket. I was looking for a control program, like Indiana Jones that ark. Perperprobyval probably about seven pieces, until I found the one with which everything works.

This program is for Android, but there is also an iPod. On the left, a receiver is plugged into the phone, which transmits a signal to the helicopter.

Charges only from usb, there is no charging from the mains. Moreover, both the helicopter and the receiver are charged, in turn.

Inside, everything is normal - gears, toggle switch on / off ...

The difference from other models, in my opinion, is very significant - this is the tail rotor, which turns on when you need to turn the thread where. Thanks to him, the turning / turning radius is minimal.

Well, standard light bulbs. This is if you suddenly wake up at night and want to fly.

Well, what can I say - the toy is quite a, inexpensive, nimble. The charge lasts for the claimed seven minutes. It takes some skill to master control from the phone, but when you gain this skill, you can quite jewelerly plant a helicopter between the ears of a sleeping cat

By the way Kote. Kote was very interested in this shaitan device, several times the furious animal tried to claw the helicopter in flight, but by that time the pilot had already acquired the skill of piloting and with the help of the tail screw deftly left the evil monster. The monster was offended and went to the floor. The pilot relaxed and made a fatal mistake - he landed the helicopter next to the animal's rookery. The beast lazily opened its eyes and grabbed the vertibird by the tail in an instant.

But everything worked out. Since the helicopter could not be broken at the post office, then the jaw of some cat is there, he doesn’t care that a clothespin made of toffee.
