Full 1080P HD Video
Stunning Stability

Parrot Bebop Drone Demo

Published on Mar 4, 2015

Parrot has a brand new drone on the market, featuring a 1080p video camera that captures motion at 30FPS, and that can take stills at 14MP. The Parrot Bebop’s looks give away its primary function: It’s basically a camcorder with four rotors and a big battery. The marquee feature of the Bebop are its photographic capabilities. Priced at $500 the device jumps up to $900 if you want the extremely capable controller thrown in.

A quick review of the Parrot Bebop drone, the latest consumer drone from Parrot, which focuses heavily on video and photo capture.

PARROT BeBop Drone in Tokyo

Published on Apr 16, 2015

PARROT held a press event in the Akihabara district of Tokyo, Japan in mid-March to preview the BeBop Drone. Although the drone had previously been released in other countries, it was new to Japan users and the media, and drew lots of attention and questions.

A strong competitor to the DJI Phantom drone series, the BeBop has a number of unique features that may help to differentiate it from the Phantom drone models. Smaller and lighter than the Phantom series, the BeBop drone is easier to transport and deploy. Being totally self-contained it may have a shorter learning curve for those that are new to the drone market.

At the same time, the BeBop build quality seems cheaper, and less robust than the Phantom. Certainly the battery installation/swap-out process is more problematic for the BeBop. And users are constrained to using the built-in internal camera while Phantom users have the option of using other manufacturers cameras. They can upgrade video performance by swapping cameras as suppliers release newer improved versions.

Japan list prices for the BeBop put it head to head with the Phantom series, which is a problem. The BeBop purchase case would be much easier if it sold for about $200 below the Phantom. Even at $100 lower it might be a reasonable alternative. But, having to pay as much as the Phantom for a product that doesn't deliver equivalent build quality, flexibility, and performance in some areas, is hard to justify.

Published on Jun 5, 2015

The Parrot Bebop is an ambitious drone with serious flaws. Constructed with an unreliable build and a weak battery life, the Bebop's biggest problem is the most basic one a drone can have: you can't control it.
