The large Skycontroller adds $400 if purchased with the Bebop or runs $500 when purchased separately. While its size and weight make it nice to travel with

Flight plans require an inapp purchase
Limited flight time
Not the most stable drone in the air
Indoor video footage is noisy
Remote control is expensive
