One that you won't panic as much about when you turn over the controls to a friend for their first time flying. It also features moulded foam feet for softer landings and larger, more flexible 6" propellers which are finely tuned to give the BeBop 2 incredible thrust and power. For those seeking a relatively inexpensive drone that is fun to fly the Parrot Bebop 2 is worth consideration. The first was a preproduction unit that, like the original Bebop I reviewed, occasionally dropped its wireless signal in flight. In my experience, the Skycontroller 2 battery will last over 4 hours; a combined 2 hours of flight time had taken it down to just over 50% battery.

The first thing that you notice when you unbox the Bebop 2 is that it is very lightweight – coming in at under 500g. There are two batteries included – meaning up to an hour up in the air – as well as the improved Cockpitglasses 2 FPV goggles and a remote control. If you're more interested in having fun piloting than nabbing aerial B-roll for your indie film or crisp images for your real estate business, the Bebop 2 is a solid option.The Parrot Bebop Drone synchronises in real time with your iPhone or iPad so you can instantly share your best photos on Facebook or Instagram and showcase your flights on YouTube.

Configurar velocidades de desplazamiento menores reduce las vibraciones y mejora la calidad del vídeo. Lens flare is also a common occurrence when flying into the sun or with it coming in from the side of the lens.

In a rural environment, largely free of wireless interference, I was able to fly about 1,500 feet before starting to lose the video signal. Non so se effettivamente raggiunga i 2 km come dicono, ma considerando che il segnale wifi a 200 mt, usando il telecomando, era ancora al massimo. These accessories help to give pilots more flexibility, both in terms of flight time and what they can actually do with the drone.

We particularly like that it really slows down the rotation speed, as it’s far too easy on other drones to turn round too quickly without realising that the resulting video is unwatchable. It combines high flight performance and excellent stability, both at altitude and facing powerful winds.

I flew the drone out over the East River, figuring that if it fell into the drink, that would make a great conclusion to my review. To offload the video you have to do it via the app, or connect the Bebop to your computer using a micro USB cable.
