Parrot Bebop 2 Specification

Overview

The Parrot Bebop 2 is a Multirotors drone that was released by Parrot in 2016.

A multirotor drone is a multiple propeller, vertical lift drone. These drones are more maneuverable due to their flight profile, being able to fly much closer to buildings and other obstacles. Multi-rotor drones like the Parrot Bebop 2 also tend to be faster to deploy, and tend to be significantly cheaper to acquire and operate.

The battery capacity inside is 2700 mAh.

Performance

The Parrot Bebop 2 falls within an 'average' speed of drones with a max speed of around 60 km/h. If you're a beginner or even an intermediate drone user, than this should still be plenty. if you're looking for something a bit faster however, it'd be best to keep looking.

Falling inside a decent flight range for drones at 2 km, you'd be safe to fly it outside of line-of-sight. You won't be disappearing to the other side of the city, but you will get more than enough range for average and above-average usage.

The drone sits well within an average flight time when compared to other drones, with a maximum flight time of 25 min. This flight time will be plenty of the average user, and should give you more than enough time between charges. You can always bring an extra battery to swap out between flights, or just a battery pack to charge it up as you go should you need a little more flight time.

A fun drone you can fly using just your phone.

In the end the Bebop fails to live up to its aspirations. It barely distinguishes itself from its predecessor. In fact, there's so little here that's new or different that I am not sure why Parrot didn't simply release a bigger battery pack for the first one. The Bebop 2 feels rushed, like Parrot was trying to hit a deadline at any cost. It's frustrating, because if the Bebop 2 performed the way Parrot clearly wants it to, it would be fantastic. As it stands, however, this is not the drone you're looking for.

Better than the original, but still shy of greatness

The Parrot Bebop 2 definitely improves on the original and remains a good choice for its portability and safer design, but stiffer competition and merely good image quality limit its overall appeal.

Can serve as a selfie machine or a toy, but can't produce usable video clips

The Parrot Bebop 2 is a small, lightweight camera drone with no gimbal. While the small size makes it fairly inexpensive and fun to fly, the lack of a gimbal makes the resulting footage very shaky and unstable. This model would be a great toy for a young kid, as the footage produced would be fun for kids to look at, but not suitable for any sort of movie-making venture. The Parrot further endears itself to kids by performing tricks in the air. So if your hero is Peppy from Starfox and you want to do a barrel roll, this is the model for you. If you're looking to capture better footage the DJI Spark offers much more stable, high-quality video at a similar list price.

A drone that – for a little extra – will make you think you can fly

On its own the Parrot Bebop 2 is a likeable smartphone-controlled drone that captures good-quality stills and video, but it's the addition of the FPV kit which really makes it stand out, offering a better control experience and an amazing perspective on the world from above.
