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
It doesn't handle wind well
And its small batteries tap out in less than 11 minutes
Easily susceptible to wind when flying outdoors. Not for beginners
Battery life slightly less than advertised
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
Not Great In Low Light / Windy Situations
Fussy Battery Installation
Requires a smartphone or tablet. Nosecam footage has whitebalance issues. Flight controls imprecise unless you add pricey joystick controller—and it's not sold separately. Short flight times. No followme or flightplan options

Abstract: I've used the two large quadricopters Parrot has released to date - the AR.Drone and AR.Drone 2.0 - but ever since I saw the Bebop at CES earlier this year, I knew I had to give it a try. The Bebop attacks two of the biggest issues of its predecessors hea...

Fun, Well-designed, Good camera
Expensive, Difficult to fly, Poor battery life
No. The Bebop can be fun, but it's not worth the trouble. Not for $500, certainly, where you can only control it with your smartphone, and not for $900 when you'll soon be able to buy a fully loaded DJI Phantom 3 including camera and gimbal for just $100...

Consumer drones are still ultimately big toys with tech inbuilt, and the Parrot Bebop is no different in any real way. It struggles more with wind than I'd like, but the bigger issue is that price point.If you just want a simple thing to muck around with,...
Abstract: The idea of a drone you could fly around and have a bunch of fun with was a distant concept a few years ago, until Parrot released the AR.Drone and suddenly people with iPads and iPhones were flying these crazy looking things around parks and their backya...
Easy and fun to fly, Great image stabilisation, Durable,
Short battery life, Video quality is good, but not great, Companion app could use some tweaks,
The Parrot Bebop is an expensive drone but an affordable tool. If you're just looking for something fun to fly, the Bebop is most likely overkill. Its ease-of-use and durability and great bonuses, but at AUD$699, the value won't be there for most people....
