The editors liked
Fun
Well-designed
Good camera
The Parrot Bebop Drone is small and lightweight for its capabilities. It's relatively tough
But also user repairable if it breaks. It can be piloted with a smartphone or tablet as well as the optional Skycontroller
Easy and fun to fly
Great image stabilisation
Durable
Excellent camera
More rugged than last version
Intuitive software
The editors didn't like
Expensive
Difficult to fly
Poor battery life
The large Skycontroller adds $400 if purchased with the Bebop or runs $500 when purchased separately. While its size and weight make it nice to travel with
It doesn't handle wind well
And its small batteries tap out in less than 11 minutes

The Parrot Bebop Drone gets points for being a compact, durable, easy-to-use quadcopter for capturing good video and photos. Battery life, performance and overall value make it tough to flat-out recommend, though...

Expensive, Difficult to fly, Poor battery life
No. The Bebop can be fun, but it's not worth the trouble. Not for $500, certainly, where you can only control it with your smartphone, and not for $900 when you'll soon be able to buy a fully loaded DJI Phantom 3 including camera and gimbal for just $100...

Consumer drones are still ultimately big toys with tech inbuilt, and the Parrot Bebop is no different in any real way. It struggles more with wind than I'd like, but the bigger issue is that price point.If you just want a simple thing to muck around with,...
Abstract: The idea of a drone you could fly around and have a bunch of fun with was a distant concept a few years ago, until Parrot released the AR.Drone and suddenly people with iPads and iPhones were flying these crazy looking things around parks and their backya...
Easy and fun to fly, Great image stabilisation, Durable,
Short battery life, Video quality is good, but not great, Companion app could use some tweaks,
The Parrot Bebop is an expensive drone but an affordable tool. If you're just looking for something fun to fly, the Bebop is most likely overkill. Its ease-of-use and durability and great bonuses, but at AUD$699, the value won't be there for most people....
Camera quality, Easy to get up and running quickly, Easy to store, takes up very little room compared to larger, pricier models
Easily susceptible to wind when flying outdoors. Not for beginners, Battery life slightly less than advertised, Flight plans require an inapp purchase
Overall, we felt the drone was good enough for hobbyists, particularly those who have flown drones before and don't want to spend upwards of $1,000 on a high-powered but pricey model. The level of technology Parrot managed to cram into Bebop is admirable...

Stable 1080p video, Safe to fly indoors, Capable of performing aerial rolls and flips, Controllable via tablet or phone, Optional remote control available for purchase, Supports Raw and JPG image capture,
Limited flight time, Not the most stable drone in the air, Indoor video footage is noisy, Remote control is expensive
The small Parrot Bebop doesn't climb as high as competing drones, and its flight time is limited, but it's easy to fly and records stable video...

Good Video Quality, Stable, Rugged, Easy To Fly
Not Great In Low Light / Windy Situations, Fussy Battery Installation
The Parrott Bebop Drone and Skycontroller Kit is a smart buy for the novice or beginner drone pilot interested in shooting beautiful HD video. The drone is very light and ruggedly built. The Skycontroller is absolutely worth the money as well, because i...
