Parrot PF726203 Bebop 2 Quadcopter Drone with Skycontroller 2/Cockpit FPV

Product Information

Note that the Skycontroller 2 charges your phone’s battery (albeit very slowly) when it’s plugged in, too. Getting photos and movie clips off the drone can be done either by slow wireless transfer to your mobile device, or by running a Micro-USB cable from the Bebop to a computer. High flyers are going to find its suburban operating range to be a serious limitation, and its video quality simply isn't great when compared with other drones that capture at a higher resolution.

While the small size makes it fairly inexpensive and fun to fly, the lack of a gimbal makes the resulting footage very shaky and unstable. Other than that, a fantastic budget 1080p 30 fps flyer that I would recommend to anyone starting out or on a tight budget who cannot afford more expensive drones. Neither process is fast or convenient, and the wireless transfer option means you’re burning battery on both devices instead of flying. Instead of sticks and switches and buttons, you're tapping on a screen and sliding your thumbs around or simply tilting your phone in the direction you want it to fly. A powerful rear flashing LED provides improved visibility while an increased battery life means you can enjoy up to 25 minutes of flight time.Parrot says it can get up to 25 minutes, but you can expect more like 20 minutes -- less if you're moving fast or doing flips.

It has some autonomous flight modes, such as a cable cam type waypoint function, but we found them to be so unstable and unsteady that they were nearly useless. It doesn't come with a case and putting it directly into a backpack felt risky since the arms and propellers are delicate. Some mention that it is easy to use, very stable, and easy to control; while others say that they lost control of the drone twice. Despite being one of the smaller drones in our review the Bebop 2 was only average in terms of portability.Puedes volarlo sin tener licencia de piloto aunque no en todas partes ni sobre poblaciones, infórmate antes ya que las multas no son pequeñas, cuidado en las proximidades de los aeropuertos o zonas protegidas para aves. Flying by touchscreen isn't the best experience, but honestly handing someone a regular remote control for the first time arguably isn't any better. Video is quite stable, especially when you consider that stabilization isn't performed with a mechanical gimbal. Visually, aside from that new Bruce Wayne-appealing black paint job, not a great deal has changed from the Bebop 2.

On its own, without the optional remote control and Wi-Fi range extender, the Bebop is wonderfully compact and light. Puedes pilotarlo con las gafas FPV o a través de la pantalla del móvil, personalmente prefiero desde el móvil. You can then choose whether to view the 720p video feed from the drone, or have the map covering the screen with the video as a thumbnail. The first is the most stable, limiting the flight and rotation speeds and enabling the flight assistance in the interest of avoiding nausea-inducing video. The broad, 90-degree field of vision offered by the Parrot Cockpitglasses lenses gives you total immersion.More than two decades experience writing about PCs and accessories, and 15 years writing about cameras of all kinds. e. with a lot of wireless signals) and was able to get it out to more than 200 meters before the video cut out.
