About the Parrot Bebop 2 Quadcopter
Soar through the sky, capture incredible sights
Soar through the sky, capture incredible sights
Thanks to the now-doubled battery life, the Parrot Bebop 2 soars farther than ever.
The original Parrot Bebop drone impressed me with the superb quality of the HD camera, as well as its stable, newbie-friendly flight capabilities. Now, Parrot has raised the bar even higher with their redesigned Bebop 2. Thanks to a new GPS system and upgraded Wi-Fi® antennas, the Bepop 2 can capture even more beautiful scenery than before. It makes flying adventures absolutely spectacular.
Go from business class to first class
The Bebop 2's improvements give you better performance and — even more importantly — a more enjoyable experience. It has better motors, larger propellers, and new feet for smoother landings. A slightly heavier and more rugged design provides greater stability in windy conditions.
It also offers a more effective cooling system, a smarter battery closure, and an improved thrust-weight ratio. The battery life has more than doubled to give you twice the flight time. Even so, recharge time has actually decreased, putting you back in the sky faster than ever.
Capture stunning HD video with Bebop's built-in camera.
It's a high-flying, high-definition camcorder
Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Bebop 2 is its ability to capture truly stunning photographs and HD video. Footage that used to require actual airplanes with professional photographers can now be shot safely from the ground. The newly designed lens offers better exposure, sharpness, and brightness. An improved 90° camera angle captures nature's gorgeous landscapes without sacrificing image quality.
Bebop 2's HD camera will capture photos in RAW or JPEG formats to its built-in 8GB memory. Use a selectable time-lapse mode to grab stills as you soar through the skies. Record video in 1080p (30fps). Using a unique 3-axis image stabilization system, the Bebop 2 provides clear, steady video even when encountering turbulence.
Easy to fly, even easier to bring home
You'll pilot the Bebop 2 through the FreeFlight 3 app on your phone or tablet. Using just the app, you'll have about 980 feet of range. Increase this to 1.2 miles by docking your phone or tablet to the Parrot Skycontroller Black. This versatile remote control gives you joystick controls as well as a host of easy to use features.
The newly added flashing LED on the back of the Bebop 2 dramatically improves its own visibility. This will help you locate it against the sky, as well as providing an easy indication of which way it is facing. When your flight is nearing completion press the "return home" button within the app to have Bebop automatically come back to where it took off from. In the event of a collision, it will automatically shut down the engines to stop its flexible propellers.

Warnings & Warranty
Bebop Drone 2
Quality Construction: The Bebop Drone 2 features glass fiber reinforced (15%) ABS and foam construction. Its feather-weight ABS reinforced structure (17.6oz/500g) makes Parrot Bebop Drone 2 robust and safe. It uses four brushless out-runner motors for the propellers. The four 3-blade auto-block propellers are made of polycarbonate. The Bebop Drone 2 is also fitted with anti-vibration bumpers on the feet for safe landings.
Advanced Processors: The Bebop Drone 2 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.
MIMO Dual-Band WiFi Connectivity: The Parrot Bebop Drone 2 features built-in dual-band WiFi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) and is fitted with dual dipolar antennas allowing it to handle both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz MIMO frequencies. With built-in WiFi and transmission power of 21dBm, it can generate its own WiFi 802.11 network up to 984' (300 meters). Depending on the network interference, you can select the frequency of your choice.
Flying: The Parrot Bebop Drone 2 can ha a maximum horizontal speed of 18 m/s and max climb spped of 6 m/s. This speed may vary according to the tilt angle of the Parrot Bebop Drone 2, the outside conditions and flight and flying configurations. You can fly the Parrot Bebop Drone 2 in wind speeds up to 24mph (40 km/h). You can fly the Parrot Bebop Drone 2 over dry, flat and lit surfaces. Parrot recommends not to fly the Parrot Bebop Drone 2 above water. You can fly the Parrot Bebop Drone 2 at altitudes no greater than 2500m. Beyond this altitude, the air density distorts the stabilization of the Parrot Bebop Drone 2. A rear flashing LED provides better visibility of the drone at long distances, so you can tell its direction and location.
3-Axis Stabilizing System: Using algorithms developed by Parrot
engineers, the Bebop Drone 2 relies on an exclusive 3-axis
image stabilizing system. Filming remains stable, however far the drone leans
over, adjusting for any turbulence. To ensure optimum stability without
compromising easy handling, the Bebop Drone 2 merges data from many 3-axe sensors
- an accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer. An ultrasound sensor with a
range of 5m, a pressure sensor, and a vertical camera measure ground speed.
GNNS Chipset: The Bebop Drone 2 integrates a GNSS chipset that associates the GPS + GLONASS data. Plan your flights on your smartphone/tablet via the FreeFlight Pro App by touching waypoints on your screen and let the drone do the rest. In addition to increasing the stability in high altitude, it also allows autonomous flights and automatics return to the take-off position. With the recorded data (altitude, speed...), you are even able to replay your flights modeled in 3D on the Parrot Academy map.
Emergency Mode: In case there is a problem such a risk of collision, the drone going out your sight, loss of control, the Emergency Button of the app allows you turn off the engines immediately to land the drone. In the event of any collision, the propellers stop automatically.
Return Home: Thanks to a GPS system, a Return Home function brings the Bebop Drone 2 easily back to its take-off point. When "Return Home" is selected, the Bebop Drone 2 returns directly to its starting position when the altitude is greater than 10 meters. If the altitude is less or equal to 32.8' (10 meters), it will rise and stabilize itself at 32.8' (10 meters) before returning to its take-off position in a straight line. Once it has reached its take-off position, it will stop and hover 6.5' (2 meters) above the ground.
14 MP Fisheye Camera w/ Digital Image Stabilization: The Bebop's camera is equipped with a bright "fisheye" lens with 6 optical elements, plus a 14 Mega-pixel 1/2.3" sensor. The neutral angle of the camera allows you to capture more ground and less sky. The Parrot Bebop Drone 2 records videos and pictures in a 180° field with remarkable image quality. The full HD camera is digitally stabilized on 3-axes. This full-digital image stabilization technology allows the Bebop Drone 2 to take remarkably stable and clear aerial footage regardless of the drone movements. You'll get undistorted images and a horizon that is not curved. The lens is splash and dust proof.

Best Droid I have ever had. Easy to set up but does take some learning. You won't be disappointed once you spend some time with it. The videos are in HD and look great.
