Parrot Bebop Quadcopter Drone - Yellow

I really like this drone. gps, video stabilization, return home all work great. Awesome video footage! It's built well with its metal frame. I flew my bebop today in freezing temperatures and the batteries still lasted around 10 minutes. Normal temps it's around 15 minutes. I've had zero problems. I also have crashed it a few times into small branches outside, and walls (inside) but it doesn't faze the bebop. It keeps on going. Also you can buy flight plan in the free flight app (20USD) which lets you pre make the flight you want your bebop to go. If anything happens to my drone I'll definitely upgrade to the bebop 2. One thing I suggest is you get the skycontroler for the bebop. Makes it 10x easier to fly, and there's more you can do. I love the live feed on my iPad with the controller. I had a hard time trying to fly it with just my iPad, but with practice it can be done. Also get extra batteries, more flight time! Get the package deal with the bebop drone and skycontroller to save $$$ I got the more rare yellow bebop. Make sure you learn how to fly it before you take it hundreds of feet up.*Update* (March 2017) Still really like the Parrot Bebop! It Flies just as good as when I first took it out of the box. And I'm still using the same batteries. One thing I learned is to calibrate your Bebop before every flight. (Yes every battery swap too) This way the gps and sensors are 100% in working order. I noticed when I didn't calibrate the drone it drifted a bit. Otherwise everything is perfect. fly high!*Update*(September 2019)I Still have the parrot bebop. The chargers I have for the batteries are not working. (Might be bad batteries) And have not even tried contacting parrot. I guess I lost interest in flying. But If I buy new batteries and a charger i don’t see why it wouldn’t fly the same. Although it does drift a bit even when calibrated. Maybe one day I’ll upgrade to a better drone if I get into flying again.

It has done its job, although it also has had some minor issues due to software updates. But one day, all of a sudden it shows a motor broken message after perfect flights the day before. I don't get it, and will be sending it in for repairs.

GPS did not work properly. Too sad!

So far its been a fun adventure. Great experience. So much more stable than the toy ones. And video is amazing.Only downside was the stock batteries it came with were bad and in reviews thats a common problem. But the vender I purchased it through made it supper easy issued me a refund and I purchased better venom 1600 batts. 10 min+ flight time.

Great drone, very easy to fly and control. Video quality is great. Would be great if you could reduce the resolution since a 4 minute flight is already more than a gigabyte of information. The hover feature is great. Would be nice to have some lights for night time flying.

I give two stars just cause it's a drone and it can fly. Now, put special focus on word "can" cause it sure doesn't do it at all times. Well, it does fly but with no control most of the times. It constantly looses connection between phone and drone which can end very dramatically. In my case it lost connection and never returned. It kept hovering over the lake till the batteries just died out, after that happen you can imagine what happened with it - Parrot took a nose first dive into the cold river. So Long Parrot boys.Do I recommend this device? Absolutely not - unless you are looking for a great free diver as it does the job perfectly.

I have had my drone for about 2 weeks and it has preformed greatly.

Second time I use the drone, I lost the wifi connection to it and was never able to reconnect to it while it was in the air. Glad there was no wind gust that day! Had to wait for the battery to die for it to land.

All good, perfect delivery and great product. Received it ahead of time, and it works better than expected

This is my second bebop 1, having had #1 hit a very big tree in a very big forest and being lost forever! (My fault entirely) The bebop is extremely easy and great fun to fly especially with the Skycontroller which makes piloting a lot easier. A phone or tablet can be used for piloting but I found this more difficult. The free Freeflight Pro software (IOS and Android) from Parrot allows customisation of the drone and shows FPV images during flight which makes orientation and lining up shots simple.Filming is in HD, looks great on the TV and compares well to a small hand-held video camera. The HD photo images are full fisheye and require correction before use. Software is available on the web or Photoshop has a lens profile for the bebop1 and 2. JPG photo setting can give a corrected image. Flight time is about 7-8 minutes in my experience but this is plenty when filming. Robust construction. As the bebop 2 is now available, the discounts on the bebop 1 and skycontroller 1 are pretty keen so can open the world of drone flying and filming at a reasonable price. A great wee drone but watch out for trees!

Ich habe mir diese Drohne gekauft, weil ich dem Hersteller Parrot schon damals vertraut habe bei Sachen Drohnen. Damals hatte ich eine AR.Drone 2.0, die mir aber leider durch Eigenverschulden abgestürzt ist und einen Totalschaden erlitt.Zu der Bebop: Liegt unglaublich stabil in der Luft! Sie macht wunderschöne Aufnahmen, auch dank 3-Achsen Kamera System. Du kannst die Drohne 45° kippen und die Kamera nimmt trotzdem noch alles in der Perspektive auf, wie du es in der Ruheposition siehst.Leider ist der Akku etwas schwach, und die Funkverbindung ist nicht sehr stabil bei einer Flughöhe von 100 Metern(Tablet sowie Smartphone) aber das schiebe ich mal auf beide Geräte. Ansonsten bin ich vollstens zufrieden!

Ancien Propriétaire d'un DJI Phantom 2 Vision + (P2V+) , j'ai découvert le Bebop qui coûte moins de la moitie du prix du Phantom mais qui est fantastique!Les Plus du Bebop:- Petit, moins lourd, moins encombrant a transporter. Le bebop entier est a peine plus lourd qu'une batterie de rechange du P2V+- Moins cher, 500 vs 1300, également les batteries de rechange 50 vs 110- Plus facile a transporter, facilement 2 a 3 fois plus petit... Pensez valise ou sac a dos, ou coffre de voiture. En plus le pilote avec le téléphone fonctionne très bien, pas besoin de télécommande compliquée.- Le transfert des images est super simple, avec le P2V+ il faut enlever la carte micro SD, la mettre dans l'adaptateur, la brancher dans l'ordinateur, transférer les fichiers, etc. Avec le Bebop, a la fin du vol, ils proposent de transférer automatiquement ne Wifi sur le téléphone.C'est vachement sympa car cela permet de visualiser tout de suite le shoot.- Mais surtout: fantastique camera! Parce que, ce qui compte le plus est la qualité de la vidéo ramenée et les images couleurs sont magnifiques.- Stabilisateur :Le Phantom Vision 2 + possède un gimbal 2 axes mais qui est nul par rapport a la stabilisation du Bebop. Même avec du vent, les images sont super stables. Et ensuite, les couleurs sont bien mieux.- Prise de vue frontale, Avec la camera a l'avant du drone, on peut filmer vers le haut ou vers le bas, tandis qu'avec le PV2+ on ne peut filmer que vers le bas. Si on filme un peu vers l'avant on voit les pales.- Le mode landing/atterissage est génial, sur le PV2+ on doit l'attraper en vol, car quand on le pose, il dérive toujours un peu, et il risque de basculer sur ses jambes et abîmer les pales.- Comme les pales sont plus courtes, elles sont également plus solides, avec le PV2+ il arrive souvent de toucher le sol ou des branches et alors les pales s'abiment, ce qui n'est pas le cas avec le Bebop.- Le conditionement est plus petit, et est livre avec des hélices de rechanges et une batterie supplémentaire, merci Parrot.Les Moins du Bebop:- le système d'attache de la batterie qui est nul. Il faut attacher un velcro et connecter une fiche... sur le P2V+ on doit simplement enfoncer la batterie dans son compartiment- pas de mode d'emploi digne de ce nom- le bouton pour allumer/éteindre se coince- on attend toujours le mode plan de vol. Le preview semble très excitant, mais toujours rien alors qu'il était prévu en avril. Je préfère avoir un produit bien fini que qq chose de vite fait mal fait.Commentaire supplementaire:J'ai acheté le Bebop car j'ai perdu mon drone P2V+ (maintenant appelé Phantom3) de façon inexpliquée. Apres avoir fait des centaines de vols, dont une majorité au dessus de l'eau, la semaine dernière, alors que je faisais un shoot au dessus d'un lac, il est tombe comme une feuille morte!75% de batterie et accroche sur le signal de 8 satellites a 170 m de distance et a portée de vue, il est tombe soudainement dans l'eau!Pour l'instant, j'ouvert une enquête avec DJI, Je posterai les résultats des que je les aurez.

A mio parere il Parrot Bebop è un ottimo drone. A patto di utilizzarlo correttamente. Non mi dilungo in descrizioni sulle caratteristiche tecniche che si possono trovare ovunque in rete. Piuttosto condivido la mia esperienza diretta.- Innanzitutto il drone va calibrato come richiesto al primo avvio (fatelo con la maggiore accuratezza possibile)- una volta calibrato, poggiatelo a terra e premete sul pulsante apposito per la livellazione al suolo (in questo modo il drone saprà qual'è la verticale al suolo "locale" ed eviterete che, appena decollato, il drone abbia uno spostamento di deriva poco controllabile)- cercate un luogo il meno rumoroso possibile dal punto di vista elettromagnetico. Sconsiglio di farlo volare in casa per via della gran quantità di segnali WiFi, segnali GSM (cellulari) e altri rumori elettromagnetici di fondo (da i più diversi dispositivi elettronici). A causa di questi "falsi segnali" è facile perdere il controllo del drone.- meglio utilizzare la banda a 5GHz che permette una maggiore portata ed una migliore ricezione dei segnali in input e output (se il vostro tablet/smartphone non vede la rete WiFi generata dal drone, verificate che il vostro dispositivo sia compatibile con la banda a 5GHz impostata di default sul drone)- per il controllo, se possibile, meglio utilizzare un tablet: lo smartphone va bene, ma ha uno schermo troppo piccolo e ci si confonde facilmente con i diversi pulsanti e joystick virtuali.Come da specifiche tecniche, manca il microfono. Non è un grande svantaggio poiché un microfono registrerebbe solo il ronzio delle eliche.Per il resto, il drone si manovra bene, è sufficientemente robusto e, in caso di rotture, si possono reperire facilmente pezzi di ricambio.Consiglio l'acquisto. La spedizione è negli standard Amazon, quindi più che perfetta.
