The editors liked
It's ready to fly out of the box. No need to piece it together or even screw on propellers. Just charge up batteries
Download an app
And you're good to go
Compact and looks cool
The Skycontroller package deal comes with three batteries
Which work wit
The editors didn't like
Relying on Android
Consumer-grade Wi-Fi
And a terribly unintuitive app
This drone was a pain in the ass to use
The Bebop runs out of space for video quickly
Without warning
And you've got to have the drone powered on (draining your battery) in order
The Parrot Bebop Drone is small and lightweight for its capabilities. It's relatively tough, but also user repairable if it breaks. It can be piloted with a smartphone or tablet as well as the optional Skycontroller
The large Skycontroller adds $400 if purchased with the Bebop or runs $500 when purchased separately. While its size and weight make it nice to travel with, it doesn't handle wind well, and its small batteries tap out in less than 11 minutes
The Parrot Bebop Drone gets points for being a compact, durable, easy-to-use quadcopter for capturing good video and photos. Battery life, performance and overall value make it tough to flat-out recommend, though...

Fun, Well-designed, Good camera
Expensive, Difficult to fly, Poor battery life
No. The Bebop can be fun, but it's not worth the trouble. Not for $500, certainly, where you can only control it with your smartphone, and not for $900 when you'll soon be able to buy a fully loaded DJI Phantom 3 including camera and gimbal for just $100...

Consumer drones are still ultimately big toys with tech inbuilt, and the Parrot Bebop is no different in any real way. It struggles more with wind than I'd like, but the bigger issue is that price point.If you just want a simple thing to muck around with,...
Abstract: The idea of a drone you could fly around and have a bunch of fun with was a distant concept a few years ago, until Parrot released the AR.Drone and suddenly people with iPads and iPhones were flying these crazy looking things around parks and their backya...
Easy and fun to fly, Great image stabilisation, Durable,
Short battery life, Video quality is good, but not great, Companion app could use some tweaks,
The Parrot Bebop is an expensive drone but an affordable tool. If you're just looking for something fun to fly, the Bebop is most likely overkill. Its ease-of-use and durability and great bonuses, but at AUD$699, the value won't be there for most people....
Great fun once you've got used to the controls, Attention-grabbing flips and rolls, Capable of capturing some really fun footage
GPS isn't as accurate as it should be, Struggles a bit in windy weather, Camera is only smartphone-quality, Small storage and short battery life

Abstract: Drones are, pardon the pun, all the buzz right now. From commercial uses to people trying to spy on their neighbors, pretty soon we won't be able to look up without a drone hovering nearby. But until the drone takeover happens, I'm happy to pilot one of t...
El Parrot Bebop Drone (también la segunda versión) es uno de esos juguetes que van mucho más allá del radiocontrol. Potente, versátil, facilísimo de controlar, con una estabilidad alucinante para que el cuadricóptero se mantenga en vuelo casi por arte de...
