The Parrot Bebop is a camera drone quatrocopter with a real focus on recording video and some seriously impressive image stabilisation. Dock and connect your smartphone or tablet, and sync with your Bebop Drone over Wi-Fi on FreeFlight 3 app. Or use the included Sky controller as a standalone remote control for greater distance and control.

Its feather-weight ABS reinforced structure (400g) makes the Parrot Bepop Drone robust and safe. In the event of any collision, the propellers stop automatically. The emergency mode allows the drone to land automatically. The emergency mode allows the drone to land immediately. Thanks to a GPS system, a Return Home function brings the Bepop drone easily back to its take-off point. Finally, EPP hulls included in the pack makes indoor flights safer.

Drone 2.0 onboard computer, Bepop Drone navigation computer features a Parrot P7 dual-core CPU, quad-core GPU and 8 GB of Flash Memory. All are fixed on a magnesium shelf that acts as a radiator and electromagnetic shielding. Runs on Linux with SDK soon available for Developers.

MIMO Wi-Fi connection: Parrot Bepop Drone embarks 2 dual-band Wi-Fi antennas that allows it to handle both 2.4GHz and 5 GHz MIMO frequencies. It generates its on Wi-Fi 802.11 netowrk. Depending on the network interference, you can select the frequency of your choice.

All parts of the Bepop Drone are removable for easy assembly and transport. Pilots can focus on flying and capturing incredible images and videos.

To ensure an optimal stability without compromising the maneuverability, the Bepop Drone analyzes data from numerous sensors automatically: 3-axes accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, one ultrasound sensor with an 8 meters reach, one pressure sensor and a vertical camera to track the speed.

Parrot Bebop Reviews

“..Parrot’s Bebop is still very much niche device, but it’s a niche that’s broadening vs. previous models. This is less of a toy than the AR Drone 2.0, with more practical applications including aerial photography, property surveying, amateur filmmaking and even limited professional photographic potential. That said, it’s not something you’ll be magically good at using, even with the added benefit of the Skycontroller vs. using just the touchscreen-based app..” techcrunch.com

“..The device is a half-way house between a drone designed for carrying a large camera, such as those often used in TV shows like Top Gear and the toy drones intended to entertain. A “prosumer drone”, it lands at the fun end of the scale, very much for those looking to make home movies rather than television documentaries, but that’s no bad thing…The Parrot Bebop is a fantastic toy that allows users to go beyond just flying it around and crashing into things and make interesting videos and take photos from a completely new perspective.The flight time of about 10 minutes [11 mins per battery, 2 batteries included] is long enough to do something meaningful and the 8GB storage is enough to record most of a flight. Despite being super smooth, the video is not of professional quality, but is perfectly good enough for most consumers.” The Guardian, UK
