Parrot Bebop Drone Review - with Skycontroller

[@parrot]

Thank you Blunty for this amazing review. We loved your French accent ;-) We appreciate your thoroughness AND the quality of the images. We'll definitely include some parts of your video in our next Best-Of Users, if you allow us. Have great flights, Parrot Web Team

[@KommandoKenny]

Parrot And thank you parrot team, for developing such enjoyable solid drone :)

[@salsaparks]

I love your products. Wish I had one/ could afford it

[@ChandlerBingalingg]

+Parrot French accent? Preeeetty sure it's Australian.

[@mrkthmn]

+ChandlerBingalingg He does a french accent when he is impersonating the Parrot team at 11:18.

[@JD-7792]

Well done Parrot! I am very impressed with your follow up and interaction. From all I have read here today I will now take a serious look at the product for myself.

[@grifone2800]

If only all reviewers were as articulate & informative as this geezer. I'll be purchasing one as a xmas present to myself. Good job mate!

[@Cambridge792]

"That's about 1.6 miles if you're still using the old measurements" Instant like and sub!

[@MadMiff]

Strooth mate, gota say, I really like your no holes barred description of the drongoes who can't manage to put the buffers on the right way round.

[@soempaing2436]

Camera stabilizing is really amazing. The scenery was also amazing.

[@Abroadero]

Sydney Botanical Garden :) really amazing.

[@shermanthetank]

excellent review, entertaining, just the right amount of humor. Thank you from Toronto, Canada.

[@TheDavbo]

Probably the best reviewer on the web, cheers Blunty

[@MitchDenham]

The controller unit is so nerdy, I love it. I was thinking, it could be cool to use the Parrot Bebop's hover feature as a make-shift "tripod" for a piece to camera. Great review as always, Blunty! There's a reason why my subscription to your channel hasn't ceased since I started my account many many years ago. While I've unsubbed from many channels over the years, never have I once unsubbed from yours due to the consistent quality of your videos.

[@wazzupyah247]

I fucking love your reviews! You are just way better than anyone else at making review because you know what your talking about! You keep a little humour in your videos without making it look awkward when i see that you've uploaded a video i just have to watch it even if its not something interesting for me it is when your reviewing it! I never thought that drones would ever interest me but since you've started reviewing them, i want one so bad because i want to be able to get amazing shots or just to have fun with it! Keep doing reviews i love watching them!!

[@OMGrobloxandweird]

great review of drone covered all my needs to know what it does as i want a drone to inspect crops i'm starting to grow and it will save loads of time walking up and down my field and will be handy to check out some roof problems.

[@bencarter8324]

Wow amazing review!!! This is the best one ive seen of the bebop on KZbin, outstanding job.

[@SaarStromer]

Perfect review! Best I have seen about the bebop so far! Could not be done better! Thanks much!

[@heartofthelakes4838]

Thanks for the great report, I've spent all morning at work looking for a suitable bit of kit like this for property shots and video... your report has convinced me to part with the cash...!!

[@TheManWithTheHat]

Liked, shared and subscribed. Simply because I like your presentation. Also because I've just ordered a Bebop ;)

[@izza7533]

Thank you for giving me and others the OLD measurements

[@aronisink1]

Wow...that's pretty impressive. .I've watched hundreds of multicopter videos and you did a great job...I never took Parot co seriously because of not having a proper radio and crappie video but this is a great step up...hope e they make with 4k soon....great job Blunty.....

[@nolksentertainmentgp]

So glad you reviewed this Blunty.. always trust your reviews.

[@one121100]

Looks like the Bebop's camera is very rocksteady.

[@BluntyTV]

Honestly blew me away.

[@Shea19]

I see what you did there;)

[@pef23]

Mumbles I reckon the Go-pro would shed 'er.

[@SJLGG]

Mumbles you son of a bitch LOL!

[@stuvlog]

Mumbles Turtles quote for the win!

[@jasoncrumby3193]

Great review! I plan on buying one now. With the skycontroller of course.

[@AussieAquatic]

Fabulous review. I look forward to using my Parrot Bebop.

[@flatfoot77]

Thank you for a candid and informative review. You do have the gift of imparting the right information for us folks just starting out in the drone world.

[@360Degreesfrom0]

Wow! Thanks for a thorough and interesting review with great video footage and clever narration!

[@MetalHermit83]

That is some amazing shots you have there.

[@jonahdx]

Great review. I like how you point out how so many people put the bumpers on wrong. I was thinking the same thing.

[@BluntyTV]

jonahdx RIGHT? It drives me BATTY seeing all these "tech reviewers" failing to do something as simple as put the friggin bumpers on the right way up. The fuck are they even DOING calling themselves tech bloggers/reviews/etc? Can't even tell the damn writing is upside-down, or that the colours are the wrong way around. TO THE ICE-MOON PRIZON FOR THEM ALL!!!

[@nextstorming3908]

Wow, ima gonna buy one today cause of your AMAZING review

[@johnathonconn5976]

The comparison at 3 minutes in is crazy cool. Since when did digital stabilisation get so good?

[@parmorama]

Thanks for the excellent review.....made me go out and buy one. Cheers

[@mack0059]

Great review. I used to live in Randwick, Sydney and great to see so many places I recognise. I had been thinking about getting the Parrot 2.0 drone and using my Hero4 silver with it though i'm tempted to go for the bebop now. The 1080 camera will be more than enough for my humble needs. Here in the UK the bebop and controller are around £700 and allowing for a decent sized tablet and a couple more batteries etc I reckon i'll be parting with the best part of £1K to set myself up. Not cheap but looks brilliant fun!

[@TechnoTempleStudios]

such an enjoyable review. Definitely something that I'm saving for and have indeed been drooling over. Like the broad range of information and POVs on the various aspects of the product as you would indeed hope for in any good review. Thanks!!

[@VinceDae]

You Mr. Blunty are getting very good with them drones! ;)

[@jlssousa]

Sidney is beautiful mate, good review

[@martinlynas9705]

Fab review Blunty , thankyou. Just what I wanted to know when thinking about getting a beebop ! I've got a phantom 4 but this actually looks like much more fun - I could never fly it through the small spaces you flew the parrot in the video.

[@horneraz]

Outstanding Review! Very informative. It's tough to get these key pieces of info for most quadcopters.

[@gownerjones2]

An easy way of making the Sky Controller more handy would be to make it fold up in the middle somehow.

[@steellensproductions2987]

I think this is a great bit of kit for Armatures. I'd love to get my hands on one of these for a review and to use to create content. Thanks for the great review Blunty. You've made my mind up for me :)

[@spektrum33]

This is the best review I have seen on this drone 👍.so it's made me want to buy this one ..

[@ReinhardvonHolst]

A pleasure to watch. Thank you.

[@juvmol]

your review made me make my final decision to jump for best drone after have experimented or trained whit small price cuadropters now its time for the big leagues ,tks very much!

[@torvaman647]

I never, ever, care about subscribing to people. this man was so cool and informative that I felt like if I didn't subscribe, I would kill myself. I was planning on buying a bebop drone but now after watching this video I have no choice but to get it with the cobtroller. Thanks Blunty, best you tuber I've ever seen.

[@robertbain3048]

Awesome review thank you, one thing, i noticed water dropplets on the sky controller, can this drone be flown in light rain?

[@BluntyTV]

It's not officially rated as water resistant... but yes I did, and had no issues. this is not a recommendation and, not a guarontee etc etc etc... ;)

[@Buddasticks1]

Thoroughly enjoyed your video Blunty. Great job, please take the afternoon off.....hehe.

[@one121100]

Very nice review, I may consider buying one.

[@Throwing-Magnets]

Hi great video just what I was looking for, please can you tell me, I see you can take pictures on your phone but can we record on are phone of the flight

[@imahmud]

very detailed review. Thanks mate.

[@techbug5661]

Think I might need to get one of these drones thanks nice video

[@julians7404]

Wow, looks as good as Sonys software to stop camera shake, bravo.

[@relativityboy]

Great review. Why didn't you suggests a folding sky controller?

[@chuckbrown2159]

Very cool video Blunty back than it cost a lot to buy now a day's not so much I have a Bebop 2 and a Yellow Bebop with the sc1 and I love it take care and Happy Flyng

[@DaddytechEnt]

*the drone that stuck around! for what one would pay for this however you could have a DJI and for what it costs with the sky controller you could have the phantom 2 vision plus*

[@farrellsgaf]

Nice review! Helped with my decision to buy!

[@Rhodiebert85]

Well, I guess the more simplistic battery attachment might save some precious weight. Great quality review! Helped me a lot with my decision. Thanks.

[@QbutNotTheQ]

Fantastic review! Thanks!

[@JD-7792]

Excellent review. Kept on track, speaking fast enough to keep the interest there but not so fast that I was ever lost. Now that DJI are putting a lot of models out in the market would you still be willing to recommend the Bebop?

[@samgunthur8806]

Awesome! wish I had a reason to own one. or the money to own one. sweet review as usual!

[@donna-donna]

This was a great review!!

[@mrkthmn]

Excellent review! I'm just wanting to get into the drone game so all this information was amazing. Liked - check. Commented - check. Subscribed - check!

[@caronte1974]

very good review ... really its the first time that i want to have one of this.... i have a phantom 3, but one of this to play and enjoy a more informal would be nice

[@zephir]

thx for the review, I am going to buy this drone!!!

[@riverd8205]

Blunty is the bebop drone able to do flips like the rolling spider

[@TheSDBux]

I love the yellow unit. That is the one I want. Sadly ITS NOT AVAILABLE!! I get the feeling this style of the unit is not available here in the states.

[@taiming71]

Great video very informative. I was really hoping it was a Cowboy Bebop drone though.

[@Siddharth007fication]

Thank you so much for this video!

[@oscaraguilar4218]

Excellent video, congratulation!

[@Fareastender]

Great review. I'm going to buy one...

[@day60]

awesome review!!

[@PhotographerEngstrom]

Great vid! Thank you for doing this review.

[@MrMatttL]

It's pretty amazing how stable the footage is, but I just can't stand the high shutter speed look. I know it's needed for the stabilisation, but it's something that would make me go for a dji with a gopro instead. And is there a way to use the app with an xbox controller? It would be a much cheaper way of getting physical control.

[@bigdaddy8884]

Great review. Thanks

[@OnlyDubai]

Great review man 👍🏽❤️

[@daverussell2088]

great review thankyou ! just bought one

[@DirkCleiren]

Good review well thanks to you i bought one :) Greetings from Belgium

[@KodieCollingsGaming]

God damn you Blunty. All your drone videos have made me want to treat myself to one!

[@MattisProbably]

It does look like a great drone. About the 14mp photos you can take with it, is the distortion easily correctable?

[@MrMinerman555]

Hey Blunty, nice review! How long does the battery take to charge if you wouldn't mind?

[@BullettoothRodney]

Great video, nicely explained

[@TheLondongymnast]

Wait this is the Bebop one I was thinking about buying this but I saw videos that said this drone was terrible but you changed my mind back I'm buying it

[@MegaBaz12]

Thanks blunty very imformative as im looking at purchasing one of these

[@ALTN8NRG]

Great informative review!

[@davidamosphotography]

GREAT review!!

[@ambrosiaspen]

Blunty, I see the Bebop has 4 rings located as the "landing gear." Can that be used to lift objects? How much weight can the Bebop lift?

[@meltdownman1]

Does this have a gps set up so that if it crashes and you can't see it you can locate it? Thanks for the incredible review. The Meltdownman

[@BeardedUrsa]

Hi Blunty! Got a question for you. With the release of the Behop 2, do you think you will be doing a review on it as well? Also just as a little side comment I have to say I absolutely love your videos. This one in particular has sparked my love of drones and quadcopters. Because of this video I have been looking into purchasing a Bebop from Parrot but since they released the version 2, I was hoping to get your opinion on it and have you put it through it's paces so to speak. Anyway, take care and have a fantastic day!

[@jameswillmus600]

I can tell you why there's a separate battery connector on the Bebop, so you can use custom batteries. Looks like a fairly standard RC airplane connector. just get a battery that is close to the same weight, and you'll keep the center of gravity. Excellent!

[@danpask]

Hey Blunty good thorough review, Question, is there any issues with dropping the footage in FCPX for editing etc?.

[@BluntyTV]

danpask ... of course not. Why on earth do you imagine there would be?

[@losc1091]

If I may ask. Does it have no fly zone built in it? And what's the max range distance and height range with and with out the added hardware.

[@SergeGolikov]

Brilliant review mate! You've sold me just on this demo, my first foray into Drone Aerials. Looks amazingly stable, and I hope they sort out the battery issue and motor cutout function. Do you have any footage file to download for a closer analysis? You tube compression can be off putting. Thanks heaps!

[@ModellbautechnikSalzkammergut]

Very cool, how long can it fly?

[@PAPO1990]

You flew quite bravely across quite a large body of water there... I would have thought you'd be at least a LITTLE nervous after that thing that happened previously :P I'd say the velcro strap only ended up there because it carried over from the previous generation AR Drones (I had a 1.0) but there it was OK because the foam shell then covered it. Looking at it, they really should have re-used the mechanism from the charger. But thanks to your endorsement I've now discovered the world of nano-drones, picked up a "neon-X" it seems to be styled a little like a Phantom, and I'm LOVING IT!

[@BluntyTV]

I had little fear with the Bebop... it holds its own altitude, it has GPS, and it has a clear battery low warning... I had no compunction about taking this beastie over water :) (though it wasn't until my third or fourth set of flights that I was confident enough, had to prove itself before I took that risk again ;) )

[@stevejhkhfda]

Blunty thanks for the review - funny rant lol - have you had any issues with fly aways since you have had it for a while, and tried it with some fpv goggles?

[@BluntyTV]

Stephen Wright Haven't any goggles to fly with, and no real fly-aways, though on day one I was flying with the phone only and flew past my range (My fault for not setting the height ceiling properly) and I did lose control; kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZK2dn2ed9-Dbbc

[@BigTvProductions]

Great review!

[@237g]

Nice bridge.

[@julians7404]

Hey Blunty, do you think I could fly it outdoors with those "indoor" prop protecters while I got the hang of it, vs wrecking it outside after a few amateur attempts inside? Lol, thanks for the vid, another great review.

[@BluntyTV]

yes absolutely, but it's not advised. The Hull outdoors catches the wind, you'll have less responsive control, it'll be buffeted more, and speed will be affected by the drag.

[@giovannigiorgio4622]

Julian S My Dad and brother just brought this model with the massive controller, In all honesty its been August with high winds and not much flight time outside as the Bebop is recommended for up to 13km/h winds. This model is so so easy to fly. You push a button and it will take off and hover, than digitally turn down all the settings so it will only fly slowly and learn indoors. You could fly it in a double garage with the bumpers with ease. My old man has a heavy hand on the controls and has not crashed it yet....yet.... Recommended. Blunty thanks for the honest review this is the factor that helped in the purchase of this model.

[@CoryBaker92]

Hey Blunty, loved this review! Been a long time subscriber and this is something that I want to buy! Never have had a quad copter but want to start doing some great flight video. I've had a few RC helicopters and got decent at flying them. Do you recommend me getting another quad Copter to practice first or do you think I can handle this one. I'll be getting the pro controller with it aswell

[@andyphipps01]

Hi blunty, you seem to be getting rather sharp footage from the bebop! Just wondering what post processing you are doing to improve sharpness/reduce noise?

[@BluntyTV]

+Andrew Phipps (Nomad360) I don't do that in reviews. What you're seeing is what I got straight out of camera.

[@andyphipps01]

Hmm wow that looks so much better than what I am getting - I'm not sure if the more stabilisation the drone needs the worse the footage comes out... Or I am doing something when I import into premiere or am exporting with the wrong settings!! Maybe it was just the lighting. What firmware were you running on the drone (if you know off the top of your head?)

[@endi3407]

+Andrew Phipps (Nomad360) do you mean while you are flying? because it will send a highly compressed raw footage to the phone and keeps the good footage for sd card :)

[@tony20499]

I bought one after watching this clip. thanks to Blunty and Bebop drone

[@mikeellicott6977]

Superb review, quirks an all, well done, one item i would have liked to hear more about was the control modes, eg can it do mode 2 so that conventional pilots can get to grip with it straight away? also what about mode 1 ? and how do the control modes and flying compare to 250 race quads as they are the nearest looking quad,

[@BluntyTV]

Mike Ellicott The Skycontroller is Mode 2 config, There is currently no option to switch to mode 1, though this could change as the controller runs on android, so in theory a simple patch or firmware update could enable this. If it's something you want, I'd suggest asking parrot about it, if there's enough demand I'm sure they'd accommodate. I see no point in comparing this to racing drones, it's a camera platform. It's not intended or designed to be twitchy or acrobatic, it's designed to be incredibly stable and smooth for effective cinematography.A comparison would be useless at best, fundamentally idiotic at worst.

[@mikeellicott6977]

Blunty Hey Bud, thanks, mode 2 is great, mode 1 was only a question! sorry my comparison to a race drone was in control feel and feedback and not relating to if it stood a chance of keeping up Ha ha ha ! so really how the FC coped in comparison to a CC3D or Naze32 and if a flight mode may compare to "Acro" or "Angle" or "horizon" mode etc

[@dwadewafad7116]

Blunty Be careful don't cut yourself with the drone's helicopter blades that helps it fly!

[@dwadewafad7116]

Blunty Be careful don't cut yourself with the drone's helicopter blades that helps it fly!

[@tonyholt90]

excellent video thanks answered a lot of questions even price range, ideal for not going up a ladder, looking for damage on roofs ect thanks... :-)

[@JamesComrade]

Excellent review: I've been looking forward to this one! Did you give it a whirl using your iPad?

[@Suringuy]

I've got one and try to fly like this video. Thanks

[@mlgcoconut7648]

You deserve more subs

[@staxmaster62]

great video
