Best drone for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased my Parrot Bebop 2 FPV pack from Bestbuy (amazing price). Tons of technology in this compact drone. I use my drone for security at my church. With an "Eagles eye view" I can see between vehicles, in truck beds ect. that from ground level you can't see. I also used my bebop 2 to inspect my roof on my warehouse and found a bullet hole where a bullet that was fired into the air came down into my roof. I would have paid more than 300 to have a roofer to inspect. I have had issues with my controller and Parrot tech support replaced the unit for free. Parrot has great support. The Bebop 2 has in app purchase for "follow me, way point flight) I love way point flying. I preset the bebop 2 to fly a certain pattern over the area I'm securing and at the touch of a button it will fly flawlessly to every way point and video, change altitude, fly different speeds, turn camera angles during flight, and more. I flew 1.1 miles away using the sky controller 2 until it lost connection. The drone automatically goes into "return to home" feature. The bebop 2 came back to where its tarted and hovered at 6' high until I regained control over the drone. The bebop2 does 4 different flips when you just want to play around. It does way more than I'm mentioning in this review. The next closest drone with this type technology will set you back 799.00. That's more than double the price of my Bebop 2. Like I said, it can't be beat period. It is "the Parrot that flies like an Eagle"!!!

The Best Drone for the Price on the Market
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second drone (the first was Parrot Bebop 1) and it meets all expectations. It flies upward of 38mph in sports mode. It is agile, sleek, and a joy to fly. If you are wanting a drone that can compete with DJI type drones and don't want to spend a fortune for it, this is your drone. It is good for teenagers and adults of all ages. The battery life has been improved to 25 minutes. It can fly a distance of 1.24 miles in an WIFI free area. Inner cities varies and depends on how congested it is with WIFI. Be sure to purchase FOLLOW ME function and your drone will follow you just about anywhere. The downsides to this drone are few. It lands hard so don't land on concrete. To offset the hard landing I land only on soft surfaces and I take control of the landing on RTH. I gave this drone a 4 only because there are no fractions. I give the Bebop 2 a 4.75 out of 5.

Awesome
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok, so my wife bought me this for Christmas when I saw it was on sale for $250. I have been wanting a good drone but never really wanting to spend the money ie $500+ for 20 min play time. So this thing, up to 25 minute flight time for $250....with the goggle holder (also, it’s their newer one not the one in the picture. Basically a smartphone holder to use as goggles for fpv flying) for the smartphone, which I used and it’s honestly amazing. I got out to 1200ft and lost connection but I think it was the transformer in front of me. I walked about 15 ft to the left and regained signal. Flew it in video (slow) mode at 200 and 300 feet for 12 minutes and 45 seconds using 38% battery. So a almost 13 minute flight with 62% battery life on a calm evening was honestly amazing. I have only owned it about 3 days and flown it twice for short time frames (daylight saving time sucks) but honestly, if you want a great beginner top notch drone without breaking the bank...buy it. Use the saved money on extra accessories for it like batteries and a case. Put the more expensive drones to shame with a 25 minute flight time for a fraction of the price!

Great Drone - 1st time droner here
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for work to inspect roofs. I am very happy with the drone, but have no use for the fisheye pictures and don't know how to get the camera to produce regular photos. Im sure there is some application for those type of images, but not for me. I was very nervous at first to fly it because I had never piloted a drone before and did not want to ruin it right off the bat. I found that it is extremely easy to fly and get the hang of. I have used it in winds about 15 mph and it was pretty stable, but still had to keep an eye on it to keep it from getting too close to tree limbs. Battery has held up about 22 minutes (didn't clock it exactly) before I got the low battery warning. Video is great and after 2 weeks, I have no cons to report.

Phenomenal first impression
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this on 11/25/18. Got it at a steal for $249 during Black Friday weekend. Got it home and I've flown it a dozen times. Very pleased with control, agility, speed, and camera. It's easy to fly and does great in strong winds. Very stable. Update: on 12/16/18, my Bebop2 fell from the sky in mid flight for no rhyme or reason at all. I had to contact Parrot due to damage. They did an investigation within 48 hrs and had me send the drone back. I'm waiting on a new one now. I cant say anything terribly bad since parrot has agreed to replace it. I'd just like to know why it failed. Will it happen again? One other reason I gave it 4 stars in the wifi connection. You really need to buy an additional extender to get decent range out of the drone.

Q: QuestionA lot of reviews say that this drone does not have the range that it claims to have. Has this problem been fixed?
Asked by James.
- A:Answer I agree with all the other Bepop 2 owners, this drone does not have the range it claims to have.
Answered by Lames
Q: QuestionCan I hook it up to a computer preferably desktop? Do the FPV goggles have to have a phone in order for it to work?
Asked by Springfield197.
- A:Answer The only time you will want to connect to your computer is to download the images/videos from the drone after your flight(s). This is done via the microUSB port on the drone. You do not need to use the FPV goggles to fly the drone. You can fly it with your Smartphone mounted on the sky controller if using the sky controller OR you can fly directly off of your smart device using the on-screen flight controls. I prefer the sky controller with my iPhone mounted on the sky controller. In my opinion it gives me the best control over the drone and the flight feels more real to me. This is only a personal preference.

Q: QuestionDoes this Drone have auto-follow feature?
Asked by Sheen.
- A:Answer Yes, it has FollowMe & also FlightPlan as part of 2 addon packages you can purchase for an additional $20 each. FreeFlight Pro comes with the Bebop 2 & allows you to fly the drone & adjust many parameters. I've used the FollowMe feature (it comes with a 15 day free trial) and it works great as long as you follow the instructions & set it properly.
Answered by ImStillaYankee
Q: QuestionCan the drone fly sideways?
Asked by Peterjjjj.
- A:Answer Yes, it will fly sideways. This is known as yaw. It is achieved by moving the right joystick on the sky controller left or right. The joystick controls are: fly Up/Down and turn Left/Right on the left joystick. Fly Forward/Reverse and yaw Left/Right on the right joystick. This is a very easy drone to fly and a great starter drone if it is your first drone.

Asked by rookie.
- A:Answer It has on board storage of 8 Gb, this can be EASILY modified to 32 Gb. You download your video/photos when your done flying.
Answered by TreeViper
Q: QuestionWhen recording video or taking pictures, can you save it to your phone as you record or is it only saved in the drones storage and then downloaded using the app?
Asked by Pat.
- A:Answer My husband owns the bebop 2, when he connects his phone to the skycontroller or just uses the app to fly the drone, it saves the videos on his phone in the free flight pro app. We have been extremely happy with the drone and parrot also has top notch customer service. We highly recommend this company and the bebop 2.
