Full HD 1080p video with exclusive smart three-axes stabilisation
14 megapixel fisheye camera that provides undistorted lines
User-controlled 180-degree vision, fully digital, doesn't affect the drone's movements
First-person viewpoint piloting thanks to the Skycontroller Two dual-band Wi-Fi antennas for 2.4 GHz MIMO frequencies, generates its own Wi-Fi network and extends Bebop Drone's range up to 1.2 miles (1.93 km)
FreeFlight 3: an ultra-intuitive piloting app, available for free download on the App Store Store and share flight data on YouTube and the Parrot Cloud

The Parrot Bebop Drone performs to the highest standards, every time. To ensure optimal stability without compromising manoeuvrability, the Bebop Drone automatically analyses data from numerous three-axes sensors — accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer. There's also one ultrasound sensor with eight metres reach, one pressure sensor and a vertical camera to track the speed. Equipped with a 14 megapixel fisheye camera, the Parrot Bebop Drone records videos and pictures in a 180° field with remarkable image quality.

Fly further and higher with Skycontroller
Equipped with an amplified Wi-Fi 36 dBm radio and with four antennas, the Parrot Skycontroller extends the Bebop Drone's Wi-Fi range and lets the pilot take the helm of the drone via two ultra-precise joysticks. You can also control the orientation of the fisheye camera with one dedicated pad and watch through Bebop's eyes. Dock and connect your iOS device and sync with your Bebop Drone over Wi-Fi on the FreeFlight 3 app. Skycontroller can also be used as a stand-alone remote control.

Thank you Blunty for this amazing review. We loved your French accent ;-) 

We appreciate your thoroughness AND the quality of the images. We'll definitely include some parts of your video in our next Best-Of Users, if you allow us.

Have great flights,

If only all reviewers were as articulate & informative as this geezer.
I'll be purchasing one as a xmas present to myself. Good job mate!

Camera stabilizing is really amazing. The scenery was also amazing.

"That's about 1.6 miles if you're still using the old measurements"
Instant like and sub!

[MadMiff]

Strooth mate, gota say, I really like your no holes barred description of the drongoes who can't manage to put the buffers on the right way round.

[shermanthetank]

excellent review, entertaining, just the right amount of humor. Thank you from Toronto, Canada.

[TheDavbo]

Probably the best reviewer on the web, cheers Blunty

The controller unit is so nerdy, I love it. I was thinking, it could be cool to use the Parrot Bebop's hover feature as a make-shift "tripod" for a piece to camera. Great review as always, Blunty! There's a reason why my subscription to your channel hasn't ceased since I started my account many many years ago. While I've unsubbed from many channels over the years, never have I once unsubbed from yours due to the consistent quality of your videos.

I fucking love your reviews! You are just way better than anyone else at making review because you know what your talking about! You keep a little humour in your videos without making it look awkward when i see that you've uploaded a video i just have to watch it even if its not something interesting for me it is when your reviewing it! I never thought that drones would ever interest me but since you've started reviewing them, i want one so bad because i want to be able to get amazing shots or just to have fun with it! Keep doing reviews i love watching them!!

Looks like the Bebop's camera is very rocksteady.

[bencarter]

Wow amazing review!!! This is the best one ive seen of the bebop on YouTube, outstanding job.

[SaarStromer]

Perfect review! Best I have seen about the bebop so far! Could not be done better! Thanks much!

[jonahdx]

Great review. I like how you point out how so many people put the bumpers on wrong. I was thinking the same thing.

[izza]

Thank you for giving me and others the OLD measurements

[aronisink]

Wow...that's pretty impressive. .I've watched hundreds of multicopter videos and you did a great job...I never took Parot co seriously because of not having a proper radio and crappie video but this is a great step up...hope e they make with 4k soon....great job

[heartofthelakes]

Thanks for the great report, I've spent all morning at work looking for a suitable bit of kit like this for property shots and video... your report has convinced me to part with the cash...!!

[nolksentertainmentgp]

So glad you reviewed this Blunty.. always trust your reviews.

[jasoncrumby]

Great review! I plan on buying one now. With the skycontroller of course.

[johnathonconn]

The comparison at 3 minutes in is crazy cool. Since when did digital stabilisation get so good?

[flatfoot]

Thank you for a candid and informative review. You do have the gift of imparting the right information for us folks just  starting out in the drone world.
