What customers say about "Key Specs"
Parrot Bebop Quadcopter Drone - Red
- GPS integration to pilot the drone using a predefined path.
- What I like most about this drone is that the range is huge.
- Through the app, you can customize the drone's vertical speed and horizontal speed.
- The only down side is the battery only last 10-12 minutes.
- Seemed like a nice product. Decide to return the item due to the fact it doesnt come with the controller and range is limited without it.
Parrot Bebop 2 Red
- Long flight times about 21min.
- No external gimbal to break on a hard landing. I currently use this with a wifi range extender to achieve fairly long range flights.
- The free Android app seems to function well as does the optional Flight Plan ($20) which allows you to pre-program flights with waypoints, etc.
- It has good size, but it is difficult to handle, the reception is not as good as a DJI, the camera is way too sensitive.
- Awesome drone! The range isn’t that great with a phone. It’s definitely not 1.25 miles.

What customers say about "Flight"
Parrot Bebop Quadcopter Drone - Red

- Bebop lands it self. 3 different modes for flying (Normal, Ace, Joypad).

- The speed and control the amazing.
Parrot Bebop 2 Red
- Flexibility to fly with smart device or with SkyController for longer range.
- The video and picture quality are great and the speed of the drone is awesome. Have been flying it many hours so far without any problem.
- This drone is very easy to control and I started getting the hang of it very quickly.
- Easy to fly and very responsive with controller. And look nice.
- Easy to navigate with controller. Works well even in windy conditions.

What customers say about "Features"
Parrot Bebop Quadcopter Drone - Red
- Video quality is very good and you don't get that ugly warping you see on some other products.
- Integrated fish eye camera with higher resolution, image stability and ability to steer the camera digitally.
- The live video feed quality is great, but as the drone gets farther away, the quality becomes a bit choppy.
- Probably the worst manual in the world. (Thankfully they've added a better one on their website).
- No expandable storage: 8gb will fill up after using the two batteries supplied. So you will need to offload it if you get additional batteries.
Parrot Bebop 2 Red
- Stable and good 3 axis video stabilization.
- Rich autonomous features with optional app purchase.
- Cheaper parts and spares than DJI products.
- Poor video quality with low dynamic range and low sampling.
- Fewer accessories (backpacks) as for DJI products.
- Image quality isn't as good as expected but is acceptable.
