Parrot Bebop 2 Power and Parrot Bebop 2 FPV Comparison -- In-Depth look at the Batteries.
We’ll start out with the overall size and weight of the 2 drones since they share airframe and props, the footprints are exactly same between the two. Aside from the coloring of the drone, the bebop 2 power FPV is identical to the standard bebop 2 FPV except for the power button and lighting when the drones are powered on. The weight is relatively the same as the power edition having the heavier ready to fly weight of 1 pound 2 and a half ounces. The standard ready-to-fly weight as tested is 1 pound 1.9 ounces. The differences in the weight can be found in the batteries as the power edition is equipped with a 3350 mAH battery and the standard edition having the 2700 mAH battery. This extra battery life extends the endurance of the Bebop 2 power addition to a reported 30 minutes which is 5 minutes longer than its predecessor. Both drones have 8 GB internal flash memory with only 7 usable gigs and it is still sent via USB to the computer. Meaning parrot still has not upgraded to removable media like its major competitors.
Though the batteries are interchangeable there are some things to take note. Since the capacities of the batteries differ, the chargers are different. The bebop 2 power edition comes with an HD charger allowing for the full charge of the 3350mAH charge. The charger bricks are different form factors to handle the appropriate battery cable and battery. Here you can see that the standard bebop 2 connector on the cable has a larger connector that connects to the wall charger. This will help not getting confused as to which charger brick and cable is for which battery.
The chargers are not interchangeable, however, because the HD charger of the Power edition will overcharge the standard bebop 2’s battery causing voltage issues. Even with charging the battery with the power HD brick the battery percentage only showed being charged to 90%. To remedy this, I discharge the battery to its normal state and fully charge with the standard charge brick and cable. Using the HD charge cable with the standard bebop 2 battery could lead to battery damage and degraded flight performance if charged multiple cycles with the incorrect charge brick and cable.
Moving on to the FPV cockpitglasses, there is a drastic difference in the style and design between the cockpitglasses 1 (original) and the newer FPV cockpitglasses 2. I want to quickly show the size and shape difference as well as touch on the biggest change between the 2, and that’s the adjustable eyepieces on the cockpitglasses 2. This is a great design allowing for not only a software change in the interpapillary adjustment but a physical one as well. The clasp that secures the phone is also open so if you find the screen a little off you can adjust the angle of the phone without having to take the phone out of the slider box that came in the original cockpitglasses. I will be making a full review of the differences in an upcoming video so stay tuned for that.
My hanger ranges from the DJI Spark, Mavic Pro, and Inspire 2 to Parrots' Bebop 2 quadcopter and Disco flying wing.
