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

Easy to Fly: (Hit the Take off button) Bebop takes off and hovers about 5 feet off the ground.
Bebop lands it self. 3 different modes for flying (Normal, Ace, Joypad).
Stability: I've flown multiple times in strong winds and it auto corrects itself quite well. Video stability is unbelievable.
Faster speed and response of the drone.
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.
SkyController is bulky and heavy.
Range is okay at best, you WILL NOT get anywhere near the manufacturers advertised range. In an open field I lost reception at 1100ft.

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.
