Parrot Bebop 2 FPV Drone Flight Testing Review
For the best prices on the latest drones, visit B&H online at: bhpho.to/2tNu7m6
In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew flies the Bebop 2 from Parrot. Before flight, the first step is to calibrate the aircraft compass, following the prompts provided by the Free Flight Pro app, which is available for both Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. Once calibration is complete, the app provides First-Person View (FPV) video and telemetry from the aircraft. The Bebop incorporates an auto-takeoff and auto-land feature, which is the only method to launch and recover the aircraft. Flight performance can be adjusted using the app while the aircraft is flying. The crew also tests the Bebop's digital image stabilization, which provides gimbal-like performance while capturing aerial video. The episode concludes with a flight endurance test.

A great drone! I have crashed mine multiple times and even had the battery run out over water and got an awesome shot of it going underwater. Two days drying off and it was flying perfectly again. Great camera!
You can transfer the videos and photos to the smartphone or tablet that is connected to the drone directly through the app after flying. It is not mandatory to connect it to the computer.
Yes it is a lot of fun to fly bebop. It also takes great 1080 videos. It is unfortunately underestimated because of competitors' aggressive advertisements. Overall great drone and wind fighter and the price makes it a steal 😀 thanks again for your work sir.

Meme Island its hobbyists yes but can take good videos. Mavic of course has better video quality. But this is serviceable and fun and cheap also look at my videos. Not professional but not bad as well
4:50 who else remembers screaming into those things as a kid 😂😂😂
I agree with Shaun Dean, most definitely a solid review. Im on the fence whether or not I'm gonna buy one of these and this video pushed me to the YES side of things.
My Bebop 2 arrived today thanks for this great video
Hit the land button when its 3 feet off the ground and it will make a softer landing. The propellers don't shut off immediately they give it to soft landing you can even do it for much higher.
Underated drone KZreadr
This is one of the best videos on the subject. Short, but packed with very important info. Example, no one else told me how to download the footage with the usb cord. Thanks
He is right about the 10% warning problem. I was flying above 40m using the follow feature. I lost track of the battery percentage because of its great follow feature (at night) and suddenly i got the warning and before i can do anything it landed itself. Fortunately it landed over land
I have the BEBOP 2 Power. I'm very happy with it. It can be so docile a newborn can handle it easily or be fairly sporty. The camera is very good for the casual flyer. The IS a hack to add a lot of memory to camera. It's cheap but a bit of a pain. This is also quite durable I actually prefer the original sky controller remote for it over the newer smaller remote.
Have you ever loss one or more of your propellers on your bebop 2 drone? I HAVE SEVERAL TIME! Usually on a hard landing. It is frustrating and shouldn't happen but it does. Well here is the product that is a solution to preventing that from happening again. These Bebop 2 Propeller Plugs are easy to install and works great. Just using your figures, mainly your tum, press Bebop 2 Propeller Plugs into the larger propeller holes. They lock the propellers in place and will not let them unlock. I haven't loss a propeller since installing the Bebop 2 Propeller Plugs. You can find them on ebay, just search for “bebop 2 propeller plug”.
You can change at what percentage of battery you want the bebop 2, too warn you at. Hope that makes sense.

you have just made my mind up . Thank-you Mr Kool
I thought that the bebop 2 has indeed a camera that can move up and down. A gimbal is just meant to absorb sudden movement and correct the position of the craft, isn't it?

We just baught... Awaiting arrival I'm so excited to film my boys games at football baseball etc.
Great videos showing this Bebop 2 drone "out of the box" along with this "flight test" demonstrating features of FreeFlight Pro app and drone operation. Used these to setup the new Bebop 2 FPV Power Pack drone. Look forward to more videos. Thanks!
hand launch and takeoff is now possible,landing is a little freaky at first,its a little jittery in your hand before motor shutdown
Thanks for explaining the red WiFi on the screen been wondering about that. Just picked up a bebop 2 as a step up from the Kmart special lol. Actually really liking this and seeing me getting a dji after I’m totally comfortable with this because of the sensors and the octo connections
Thanks for the video and review! At it's current price one of the best drones to be had, imho. I also own a Mavic Pro, Phantom 3 std, DJI Flamewheel, Hubsan H501S, JYU Hornet w/gimbal, and a number of others. If you own a Skycontroller 1, which is great, you can buy this new for $299.00. Almost 3 times the flight time of the Spark.
For the record, you can also download the saved video via wireless directly to your phone/tablet in the field, no PC required.

Great commentary as usual. 1) range test? 2) flight modes? 3) best nearest competitor price wise? a few things I would have liked to have seen. keep up the good work.. entertaining as ever

Thanks for the feedback! As to the range test, we don't generally do those because it would likely put us into a Beyond Visual Line of Sight situation which, of course, isn't permitted under the FAA's current Part 107 rules -- and we don't want to violate those ourselves or encourage other people to, either. Flight modes -- we obviously tinkered with the various settings in terms of aircraft performance, but I wasn't aware the Bebop 2 had discrete flight modes (like DJI's "Sport" mode, for example). I guess the nearest competitor price wise would be the DJI Spark, but I haven't flown it yet so I couldn't say. Nevertheless, all excellent points! Thank you!

Thanks for the reply, you have taken my comments as meant.. thoroughly valid points you give in response.. I was referring to the intelligent flight modes like follow me and way points .. I believe originally they were an "paid for add on" to unlock those on Bebop 1 series.. love your comments guys.. please, keep up the brilliantly entertaining and factual reviews.
Your vids were a great tool with my setup/maiden. Thanks bud!
I have a Bebop 2 Goggle question for you. I have my Bebop 2 video settings on maximum quality, however, when I use my cell phone inside the googles while in flight, I notice that the views look pixated , as in low resolution. Would this be due to the 1280 x 720 pixel display on the cell phone or is it the Googles itself, regardless if upgraded to another old cell phone with a better resolution screen. The videos themselves look fine on my computer monitor , but not to great when in flight through the goggles. Thanks for your insight on this.
Great video!Commentary is so clear and funny!

Would you recommend this drone or do you have any cheaper and better suggestions
damn good product for the money. under $400 for everything including fpv. and there is a way to expand the memory as well though its a bit technical but if you already know how to build computers you'll have no problem understanding the process.
My mates brought this and says it's a decent hard wearing drone. I got a mavic I can't wait till we have a race and film.
Solid review, Thanks!
how do you change the altitude from meters to feet
this and the unpacking video actually helped a bunch thanks a lot :)
Very useful review. Thanks!
Great job explaining the drone. Thanks.
, went out with my bebop 2 today loved it couldn't figure out why it wouldn't take off only to find out that I've my propellers on the wrong way around use led props but why do thay spin opposite direction to any other drone is it cuz they are three bladed
Only bought one and I could not be more happyer, thanks for the video,

Nice video. Very practical and informative. Seriously considering this as my first drone. Looks a neat option.
My 4yo grandson has the Dromida Vista and has flown it out in the open no problems, crashed a few times, one day he will be old enough to have enough respect for something like the Bebop. We will see. who knows he may turn towards planes?

I think you're onto something there -- especially with the big price cut we've seen on the Bebop 2 recently. I would be a perfect aerial video drone for someone just getting into the field, whether they are young or just new to RC flying.

I do have a couple/several questions. 1. I have a good size yard, over an Acre of fly space. I do NOT want to end up in a neightbors yard. So, I would like to start by setting up a series of "way points" but then make them describle a GeoFense! 2. I have a couple of Parrot products. BUT my right eye is now almost useless so normal Goggles like my Fat Sharks don''t work for me now. SO I am using a "knockoff" of the Viper Periscope style Googles so I can use a cell phone. This is fantastic. and what is really nice I can look at the FPV and down at the Controller. I want to have a "second" Wifi Phone mounted on the Transmitter, so I can change things like Camera setting etc. etc. QUEASTION - how do you have two Wifi / Monitors connected to the Parrot Bebop 2 ( I have tired small USB hubs etc. - no luck? Any idea's appreciated. richard@rlstuart.com

Great video and one of our favorite drones. Could you explain the non-gimbal gimbal test? And at what range did you see signal degradation?
@Roswellflighttestcrew1947
7 жыл бұрын
Thanks! In the gimbal test, what you're seeing is the aircraft maneuvering on one side of the screen and the raw video from the drone on the other side of the screen -- so that you can evaluate how effective the "gimbal" is at smoothing out aircraft movement.
Great review. How easy is it to transfer files on to a computer??
Thx! Short but great review. Hope it will help to improve the bad reputation of the Bebop2 ;) I just love it and I have absolutely no desire to fly my 500 mm DJI powered bird again...

Does anyone knows what distance the drones flies

Hello. I recently purchased this drone from my local Best Buy. Came with FPV kit and Skycontroller 2! Great deal. I am having some issues with the sky controller 2 because everytime I plug it in to charge it just flashes green and amber. I’ve heard that this is a defect with the sky controller 2 battery. I am not sure what to do. If there is anyway you could help it would be appreciated. Thank you.

Looking at your footage, I'd say, and this is my opinion, most drone reviews never go deep into details about how to get into smooth flying shots, most either fly fast or make quick turns which makes it messy. Drones like Bebop are meant to capture exceptional footage, cinematic. Most reviewers just want to show a review and quickly get done. Otherwise great review though.
can you shoot 90 degree vids while hoovering?
nice video !
Hi where i could buy holder for IPod for remote control??

The whole, you can't manually land it-thing, we just need to get over it. It's not a thing. Lands a little harshly, agreed... But let's be honest, Parrot has now severely reduced the amount of crashes while trying to land.
Great flight review boys and i can see where this might have it's uses but sadly just not for me. Thanks for sharing as it's much appreciated. ;-)
