Shopping Online for an Acrobatic 3D Virtual Reality Drone? Meet the All New Alpine Griffon Drone, a Great Drone for Beginners

Drones with HD cameras, 3D goggles, and other accessories are trending this holiday season.  In our previous post, we offered a brief review of the T-Series T30VR 3D virtual reality drone with HD camera and 3D virtual glasses, a drone currently on sale at SHOPOlogee.com for only $149.99 (US)(+ free shipping) that is, $100.00 off its regular market price of $249.99. This post offers a brief overview of a cousin drone, the Alpine Griffon AG-01 Drone, also a fun 3D virtual reality capacitated drone that is ideal for kids, teenagers, and beginner adults, and also currently on sale for the holiday season for $169.99 ($100.00 off its regular market price of $269.99). 

Aerodynamic Design and Flight of the Alpine Griffon Drone - The distinguishing feature of the Alpine Griffon Drone is its visually appealing, fine-tuned aerodynamic design. Being larger, wider, and more robust, the area of the Alpine Griffon Drone's propellers, combined with their rounded angulation, serve to decrease airflow resistance an facilitate an upward, vertical lift movement. The smooth, balanced, upward lift of the Alpine Griffon Drone is further enhanced by a perfectly symmetrical, aerodynamic spine that runs across the top of the Alpine Griffon AG-01's top surface. While the design feature on the Alpine Griffon AG-01 - alongside its forward protruding propeller arms - fulfills more of an aesthetic role and purpose in terms of giving it a cutting edge, modern look, it does contribute to the ease and seamlessness with which the Alpine Griffon Drone can glide through the air. Overall, these features give the Alpine Griffon AG-01 Drone a light, well-balance, and responsive feel while in flight. The ability to manoeuvre into 360 degree acrobatic flips with the Alpine Griffon Drone attests to the agility of the Alpine griffon. For anyone less agile or experienced in flying drones, the Alpine Griffon Drone also comes with optional protective propeller cages, an add-on perhaps more recommended for kids or beginners.

3D Virtual Reality Goggles and 2MP HD Camera of the Alpine Griffon Drone - aside from its visually appealing, modern aerodynamic design, the Alpine Griffon AG-01 Drone also comes with 3D Virtual goggles, which adds a fun alternative mode of flying your drone. The virtual reality concept is straightforward; it is accomplished through the use of the Alpine Griffon Drone's 2MP HD camera, an App, and the VirtualAlpine Griffon Drone's 2MP camera, which gives you a fun and entertaining first-person, bird's eye view from the drone. While this feature may be common with larger, more expensive professional drone models, the ability to enjoy this feature on a smaller, medium-size drone at an affordable price is a real treat. Beginners would be well advised to get comfortable flying the Alpine Griffon Drone in regular mode before turning to the first-person, virtual reality flying mode. 

Parts and Other Features - Except for a the Alpine Griffon Drone's propellers, battery, and optional protective propeller guards, the Alpine Griffon Drone comes out of the box fully assembled. A small tool is provided to help you easily assemble the drone's propellers and protective guards. The battery can easily be snapped into place, and plugged into the Alpine Griffon Drone by hand.  In short, the simplicity of the parts that need to be assembled on the Alpine Griffon Drone make it user-friendly, and ideal for kids, teenagers, and even adults, especially beginner level, soon-to-be drone hobbyists. 

The user-friendliness of the Alpine Griffon is also reflected and present in the remote controller used to fly the drone. It includes two standard, thumb-style joysticks, one which controllers the drone's throttle, the other which controls the forward, backward, upward, and downward movement of the drone. The right side joystick can also be pressed down for "headless" flight mode, which means the drone can be flown without reference to its front or back. The video and camera functions are ergonomically well positioned in the centre of the drone's remote control. The Alpine Griffon Drone also includes push-button flips and rolls. 

Concluding Remarks - In sum, the Alpine Griffon Drone comes at an excellent price tag considering its medium size, unique design, 3D virtual reality mode, and responsible, well-balanced flight. The Alpine Griffin Drone's easy to assemble parts and user-friendly flight controls also make it an excellent choice for beginner drone hobbyists. The auto 360 degree flip mode on the Alpine Griffon's remote control will certainly be enjoyed by all who take flight with this drone.

Fly Like a Bird with the T-Series T30VR Drone with 3D Glasses

As the name implies, the T30 virtual reality drone combines this new consumer flying devices with emerging 3D technology. The T30 Drone seeks to give its user a bird's eye view from the sky.  It accomplishes this through a 2MP HD mini camera affixed to the centre of the drone's belly. With the use of your smart phone and an App, the camera projects a live first-person feed from the air, giving its user an impression of flying like a bird.  Beginners will no doubt want to practice their drone flying skills before re-adjusting this new and incredibly fun way of flying a drone from sky-high.

Suitability: Not too Small so as to Not Take Seriously, and Not too Big so as to Not Enjoy

Aside from the fun and innovative feature offered through its 3D glasses, this drone is not so small that it shouldn't be taken seriously when flying, yet not too big or expensive that you become too intimated to getting off the ground. In other words, it offers a perfect level of comfort for beginners and intermediate drone hobbyists, whether children or adults. Pro drone hobbyists, or those looking for a drone that provides superior aerial photography will likely want to continue their online shopping on to the next isle. 

Parts: Inexpensive and Easy to Fix

With its four propellers, the T-30 Series T30VR 3D Drone is more accurately described as a quadcopter. As with most drones, beginner-level drone hobbyists will inevitably crash their drones on the first few flights, sometimes leading to propellers flying off. Ultra-light and thin protective rubber cage barriers affixed at the end of each arm will hopefully prevent this from happening. The tip of each arm on the T-Series T30VR 3D drone also come with standard LED light signals: a red LED indicator on the back right-side arm; a green LED light on the back left-side arm; and two white LED lights on each front-end arm. These LED lights always make for a fun, entertaining, and spectacular night-flight. The T-Series T30VR 3D drone comes with a light, user-friendly remote control, as well as a T-Series T30VR 3D drone user manual. Simple enough?

Flight Experience: Ready for Take Off

The flight experience is comparable to any drone of similar size. The drone's movements are sensitive, but light, stable, and balanced. As with any drone, new users will no doubt need to practice and adjust to the feel of the drone's flight movements. The weight of the drone is itself well-calibrated, and its medium size, light weight, and relatively silent motors makes it ideal for flying indoors as well as outdoors.  Inexperienced users are recommended to fly the drone in open, unobstructed areas. If and when the drone crashes (perhaps due to lack of experience), the parts are designed to easily detach rather than break off from the drone. Being in an open space will make it easier to track and recuperate the drone's missing parts.

Final Thoughts

The T-Series T30VR 3D drone is currently on sale for $149.99, down $100.00 from its standard market price of $249.99. With its 3D virtual reality feature, its medium size, and its suitability for beginners and intermediate level drone hobbyists, this drone is definitely an excellent toy to purchase, for children and adults alike.
