  • Soar through the sky and see the unseeable with fantastic aerial photos and smooth videos: this is the Parrot Bebop Drone and Sky Controller - and we're giving away the complete set to one lucky reader!
    Parrot have carved themselves a mid-range niche in the drone market: too expensive to be called toys, but nowhere as costly as some professional models. Their newest flagship quadcopter - building on the successful AR Drone 2.0 - is the Bebop Drone, now available in a package with the new long range Sky Controller, for $900 (or roughly $1200 if you're ordering from Europe). That's quite a price jump, so we have to ask if it's worth it. The short answer is: maybe.

    Does it fly back to Home by itself if it loses the connection ?
    or is there a button to press?

      @hbkjay7434 Před 8 lety +5

      Why would you buy a 900 dollar drone (450 dollars now) for 100

  • @justinh1214
    @justinh1214 Před 8 lety

  • @time2playthebest
    @time2playthebest Před 7 lety

    Thanks. Does it only take fisheye photos or can I take regular square photos with it. Thanks.

    • @MakeUseOf
      @MakeUseOf  Před 7 lety

      Only fisheye. Though you can of course crop the photo or apply anti-fisheye distortion filters.

    • @time2playthebest
      @time2playthebest Před 7 lety

      Yes of course crop looks nice when done on iPad thanks. How would I apply anti distortion filters can it be done through the app used to fly the bebop. Thanks for your reply.

    • @PolecatCreekGarage
      @PolecatCreekGarage Před 8 lety

      even on parrots site it was never this much.

    • @MakeUseOf
      @MakeUseOf  Před 8 lety

      With the Sky Controller, it was.

  • @theodorh.8687
    @theodorh.8687 Před 9 lety

    Parrot them selves sayd the flight time is about at 11min not 25 accept if you use the secondary battierie pack after the usage of the first one it will come to about 22min

    • @MakeUseOf
      @MakeUseOf  Před 9 lety

      TidoCraft Lp Hmm, I'm sure I read 25 minutes in their docs, but I guess not.

  • @Helderhugo
    @Helderhugo Před 9 lety

    How do you remove the altitude limit?

    • @MakeUseOf
      @MakeUseOf  Před 9 lety +1

      Helderhugo When in pilot, find the settings button. You can swipe right from the settings screen to find all the other 8 or so pages of settings. Yep, totally hidden away.

    • @Helderhugo
      @Helderhugo Před 9 lety

      So you want quick answers and couldn't be bothered to look at the video where the presenter tells you? After 2 years I'm not going to either.

      Fire Blade890 I sent two back with dodgy batteries. Parrot weren’t interested.....Argos just said replace it. So i did, same fault. I liked the concept though so upgraded to a bebop 2 instead

    Hardly a review not a single mention of what the controls do just a video of someone flying a drone. Thumbs down waste of time
