Parrot Bebop Drone - Too Much Fun?

The Parrot Bebop is one of the first drones Linus has had a significant amount of testing time with... Does it provide an amazing, user-friendly experience, or is it intended only for experienced drone pilots?

Anyone who believes the multi-part videos SHOULDN'T be multi-part are kidding themselves, and have absolutely NO clue how time consuming this stuff actually is. I am really glad that Linus has the cahones to just keep at it, because IMO, even getting 10+ minutes is a blessing for a single video. I'd seriously settle for less if they had to (when it comes to multi-part videos I mean, I could care less how long any of the videos are, as long as they're good). The content that this channel produces is among some of KZbin's absolute best IMHO, ESPECIALLY for daily content. It's almost always interesting, unexpected, new, unique, and fun. ALWAYS worth the wait

[@Wind1000100]

Hmm, ok.

[@Wind1000100]

I have to agree entirely, I think multi-part is fine!

[@LinusTechTips]

***** Thanks for the support :)

[@codexx7756]

Three videos spread out a week apart each is just grossly unnecessary. It's not even fun to watch anymore. It should have concluded already. Two 10-minute videos would have been better, and not more than a few days apart. I love the idea for the show, but I'm not even hyped for it anymore.

[@mbsfaridi]

LinusTechTips Yeah, just thank the famous guy and not the everyday people who watch and support you :( Kidding

[@DIYPerks]

That's one impressive drone. Amazing what they've done with the video feed. Interesting comment about it somehow getting a bit boring to fly do to lack of a challenge. Smaller indoor drones can actually be a lot more fun to fly than outdoor ones (bordering on addictive) because there are so many more obstacles indoors like walls and chairs that you have to maneuver around or through. Outside and it's just a dot in the sky.

[@LinusTechTips]

DIY Perks Interesting point. Maybe I should get something to fly around indoors.

[@mNaximilian]

LinusTechTips i have a micro quadcopter thats about the sice of my ear, i can confirm its really fun and sometimes hard to dodge obstacles (especially the paws of cats xD)

[@Tharkz]

LinusTechTips See if you can record one of your episodes using a Parrot. If it's OK, you've got your camera guy by his balls :P

[@Asdosie]

no way! you watch linus too!? Awesome dude. Your one of my all time fav youtubers.

[@MattSynysterRx20]

Matt, can you show us how to make a DIY drone :)

[@parrot]

Hi, thanks for sharing this great review! One remark though, at 3:52 we saw that you mounted indoor hull backwards, that can explain why you can see it at 3:45 on your video, they have been indeed designed not to enter the field of view, even when tilting the Bebop Drone camera sideways to the max. We recommend you flip the bumpers next time. Enjoy your flights! Web team

[@spuddyl9938]

Wanna hear something ridiculous? In Belgium, you need a drone pilot licence to fly these. Cost of the licence? 1900€ or 2200$.

[@nicoufeizi1517]

It sorta makes sense to need a license, but for that price damn

[@crestgamez]

Licence for waffles?

[@SpiritMolecule]

Spuddy L im sure that will be introduced in other countries soon no doubt

[@dalmationblack]

+Trip Tamine The USA has them now

Spuddy L well if I could pay that just so that I can 10' in the air in seattle, well that is whole bunch of crops but at least ya are "allowed" to fly right?

[@leegreene7892]

5:48 Looks like Usain Bolt has some competition.

[@Andytlp]

no shit he's controlling a drone, while running and his head is turned 90 degrees.

[@mobertlawl]

tulp35000 lol

[@Andytlp]

Moethedirt usain bolt can only run and turn his head 90 degrees for a split second.. he's not even close to #fastestlineusrunner

[@mobertlawl]

tulp35000 YES! #LINUSFORNEXTOLYMPICSRUNNER

[@Kiwi-0]

I had a feeling deep down that he was gonna trip

[@LazerLord10]

Looks cool, but I'm going to stay with my $50 13" square UDI 818A. It has no automatic anything, but it's a great copter for learning.

[@ziga328]

The multi-part videos are some of the best content on this channel IMHO and I always look forward to the next instalment, keep it up guys!

[@SwepEntertainment]

This video was really good, Linus. We own a Parrot Drone at the house, and when its not windy, we are flying it. Just wanted to say i really enjoyed this video, and i LOVED the footage from the drone high up in the air, would love to see some more of that!

[@ender25ish]

just sayin, you and your videos are what encouraged me to make plans for building my own PC. love your show linus, keep it up :)

[@someone-wi4xl]

good luck with your future build (:

[@AyeFreshie]

Maybe there could be a future review of the DJI Inspire 1?

[@DapperDanLovesYou]

Awesome video guys; this one was really fun to watch and has definitely peaked my interest in camera drones!

[@SpiritMolecule]

im getting ready now to head down to Maplins and pick one of these babies up :D I cant wait, those Arial videos looked amazing

[@pattt5408]

"cat stomach friendly"

[@kazzemg]

It's a reference to rumble costing tens of thousands in surgery after he ate foam and it blocked his stomach off :S

[@LinusTechTips]

kazzemg It was about $1500, not tens of thousands lol. No idea where that number came from...

[@leonetollemache-tollemache2399]

LinusTechTips The tens of thousands number included the Lambo ride to the vet.

[@kazzemg]

Jake let me change my name Dagger back to normal$900 on amazon. Not exactly cheap... Aactually it's $500 if you don't get the extra controller. My bad

[@pattt5408]

kazzemg yea i know, remember seeing the post on fb page

[@TheRattleSnake3145]

You can tell Linus has no idea about FPV when he thinks 150 meters is is a long distance for a video signal.

[@TheLazyClips]

We know you have no idea about wifi signal when you think 150meters isnt far for wifi... A normal wifi antenna reaches maybe 25m orso a good one.

[@PvtHaggard]

TheLazyClips Wifi runs on 2.4ghz..Wifi has a bad rap for short signals because they use low power transmitters and omni directional antennas.

[@tm80notgoodwithnames58]

I havee seen even 68km range.

[@TheLazyClips]

TM80 NotGoodWithNames link or stfu...

[@versask8td]

It's funny because they are so into computers, but they have no idea about multi rotors.

[@SYNDIC4T3]

These captured footage is just amazing!!

[@MrMichelNL]

Thank you, for telling when the next syw-video comes out, I can't wait

[@thewoolyminers3835]

hey linus when is whole room water cooling vid

[@Chris.Murray]

kinda surprised you didn't mention drone laws, and how in some areas, it is not advisable to fly a drone.

[@MrThordy]

The new Intro is so awesome ! So happy

[@willemvanderlinden2305]

3:50 that car looks so apocalyptic i love it

[@patrickcogan1998]

Linus, if you want to get people off of your back about episodic content, (I'm on your side, brother) maybe you should do another behind-the-scenes video where you explain in-video how video production actually works. It would get the jerks off of your back, and it would be interesting for everyone else. :)

[@thomasw12]

Why u space out scrapyard wars so much

[@JerryNeutron]

Those aerial shots are awesome

[@chipmunktechtips683]

Amazed. Amazing tips here, totally amazing.

[@Agazed]

5:35 fuck lol

[@notsoslimtim6195]

u realize the blade protectors are on upside down

[@omgitsdefault]

This really is the coolest bit of tech you have ever reviewed, ever car footage would be a bonus with this.

[@TheManWithTheHat]

Quick question. I noticed you mentioned 'thumb down if you don't like the video'. Does YT see this as a negative or simply as another engagement? Stephen

[@delaney9798]

See you space parrot...

[@OzcarMtl]

I'm gonna start this rant by saying I love LTT and I've been a subscriber and avid watcher long before LMG was created and I love what this channel has become and the quality it has reached, having said that this is my complain. I'm (and I'm not the only one) growing SICK of the multipart episodes, especially in the whole room water cooling loop videos, the last one was less than 15 minutes, seriously!? waiting so long for freakin 14 minutes of content?! Don't get me wrong, the style and the editing is beautifully done and that makes it enjoyable to watch, and the Scrapyard wars series is a brilliant idea, but waiting three weeks for something you filmed in two days and it's less than an hour of content?! If there's a reasonable explanation of why you keep doing multi part episodes then we deserve to hear it because even your most avid fans are growing sick of it, and the teasing at the start of every video just makes it worst, and not in a ''lol linus is such a troll rofl'' way but in an annoying kind of way, I've always supported you and the decisions you make but please every once in a while you have to listen to your audience and your usual ''it's my company and I do what I want to'' response is not enough this time (nor is it funny anymore).

[@LinusTechTips]

OzcarMtl I've explained it tons of times. The answer is if it takes 2 full days of BOTH of our on-screen talents, then in order to maintain our daily upload schedule we need to get multiple pieces of content out of it. Add to that the fact that every 10+ minute chunk of something with as much footage as Scrapyard wars takes Ed about a full week to edit, and you get 3 pieces of content scheduled out over 3 weeks.

[@storm_rl]

LinusTechTips The editing part is so true it hurts (I am one myself) and I really do enjoy and respect the effort and skill of your team to put out a video every day while still doing things like the WAN Show and being an awesome father amongst other things. Long live LTT!

[@MrChemicalSIX]

LinusTechTips I was thinking a long the same lines oft OzcarMtl was thinking just then until i read your reply Linus iv made a complete turn around to be frank was kinda hating on how it takes so long but I didn't really have an idea what was the reason (maybe a vlog for everyone would be a good idea to get everyone up to speed) why things took so long but if it really does take so long to edit them and since they turn out so fantastic i just want to apologise for casting doubt even if it just me that thinks this way im sorry for all the others that hate the multi part ep's

[@Multi407D]

LinusTechTips I am a fan but It doesn't take 7 days to make a video like that 5 days at most (for one episode) he spends like what 8 hrs a day with editing (yes I know that working for you is awesome and you are a great boss that gives breaks and you have other things on the schedule) but 7 FULL days (56 hours) is a little bit of a over exaggeration is it not? I personally couldn't care less about multipart series as I normally make a playlist and then watch it all in one go but when it goes on for MONTHS like the water cooling thing it gets annoying so I just don't bother anymore. And if it does take 7 full days for one episode Get more people to help!

[@Multi407D]

LinusTechTips and yes I know the struggles of editing and animating

[@T0BBi94]

Awesome video as always! Holy balls that thing looks awesome!

[@Littlemanyolo]

Linus love how you actually give us the day when something happens instead of teasing and leave us anxious and waiting for part two

[@bongdiggity]

I have 0.08 download speed so isn't watch this video, thanks Australian Internet for the super fast reliable Internet

[@rattacko123]

***** I get 0.5MB/s and 0.1MB/s upload (about 0.8mbit/s upload) My friend who lives in a rural area has better internet than me :(

[@tomhum996]

***** I managed to get the Rudd NBN. 100mb/s. I remember those dark days before it was connected tho. I feel for you

[@mobertlawl]

***** lol that profile pic and what you said is like a fuck you im rich to them XD

[@tomhum996]

Lol

[@tomhum996]

Living in one of the first rollout areas has nothing to do with wealth tho. And the nbn plans arnt even that expensive

[@InFlamesor12]

your son has some weird squint eyes, you need to have him checked.

[@benverdon9539]

That's just not funny.

[@zigmanist]

LOL

[@zakiNBG]

Ben Verdon dunno. but i had to laugh xD

[@mika2666]

#hatersgonnahate

[@InFlamesor12]

***** Why the curse word and why are you so racist?

[@vts101]

I think it would be better if you held all the episodes until editing is done then released them with maybe a day in between. I think a week is too much and I end up forgetting what happened in the prior episode. Still love the content and keep up the great work!

[@Sokar80]

Nice toy i have AR drone 2.0 but replace part in Finland is difficult to find

[@Haakonzz]

This looks awesome!

[@dpjazzy15]

Love the new intro. Every time I hear it, I appreciate it a lot more than the old one.

[@kronosacer]

awesome as always :)

[@DeathBringer769]

I like your new slogan or tagline far better than the last one. I actually laughed.

[@JustinWald99]

Ok, wow! At first, I thought this was just another product that Linus was super happy about simply because he didn't have much experience in the field. I quickly realized that while some of the features were nothing special, having all of them in one package that works really well just made it soo much more easy to use! That is the strength of this product in my opinion.

[@BlackKorv]

Man this channel impresses me on its high quality!

[@MrMeetchell]

I have an incredible need for one of these. Could really do some nice video shoots in hard to reach places

[@EverlastAdventures]

Linus, I saw you at that park in Langley! I saw a camera, and someone flying a drone, but I didn't know who it was, know I realize it was you! I wish I went to say hello!

[@datexasbros]

I don't have a problem with multi part videos I understand the need for them. What am a little annoyed by is waiting entire weeks before parts :( if it takes so long to edit you should just wait on releasing the initial video so you can release them all within a weeks time, just my $.02 I love the videos and all the channels :)

[@anemozen]

Hey linus you should really look into FPV quadrcopters, and FPV racing. I think it will blow your mind

[@IdealIdeas100]

PC Junkyard Wars is definitely interesting to watch, would be even more interesting to have more than 2 people compete and do it every now and then. Maybe even give prizes to the better part hunter.

[@danpask]

Good review as buddy.

[@Lunisford]

Maybe you could use that for outside onboxing,giving sweet camera angle.

[@ImaITman]

Dear Linus, You're the first youtuber who runs ads that are actually relevant to me from companies I actually want to buy products from. I can't tell you how much I like that.

[@Trenixen]

I like multi-part videos, keep it up!

[@zxodus5266]

thats cool !!! great video!

[@pokemon555222]

I just got one and it is amazing. I use to have an mtech sky drone pro which was as basic as you can get. When that crashed I saved up for this and it is so stable! The camera is amazing and even without the sky controller it has amazing range.

[@notyou8400]

TheUKGamer so its enough to fly it without the skycontroller

[@pokemon555222]

Not You yes. It is amazing and has over 100 meter range without the controller. I recently purchased the controller just to make it even more fun to fly and it is worth every penny. The only issue is the camera isn't the best in the world but if you want a better one you would need to get a DJI drone which costs more than double the price of the bebop.

[@cheesepwnage]

that little skatepark looks so fun

[@BigfootTJ]

i wanna get one of these or another one and record a friends RC races, think it would be epic

[@MannYSJ1080p]

Next Saturday? Damn you Linus

[@DarthEditous]

You got the bumpers on backwards (which is why you can see them in shot e.g. at 3:50)

[@JoshMoshh]

Needed more sandal + sock action shots

[@avikbellic911]

i want a drone to be controlled from my desktop pc is that possible with this model? i feel lazy sometimes in the sun...and i hate the wifi signal thingy cause battery runs out quick for most wat i herd.

[@BLADEMANDAD]

God I love this review of the Bebop, well done Linus!

[@gustisch]

how does the camera work? at the end where the bonus crashes are, the camera sort of moves to the side to stabilize or something?

[@jameswillmus600]

One question, can this UAV be binded to a standard 2.4GHz aircraft transmitter or do you need an Ipad or controller? Also, do you NEED an I pad or I phone or can I use any touchscreen? I've got the tracfone equivalent of an I phone, and it does have 4G LTE.

[@Daehawk]

Can you switch the sticks so left controls movement and right power? Because the Xbox 360 controller uses left for all movement.

out of the topic, choosing between gtx960 vs r9 280x vs r9 290x with fsp blue storm 500W in THIS MOMENT, what should i choose?

[@IraQNid]

I was concerned when you were running across those concrete formations not watching where you were going. Is there a proximity sensor RC operators can use who are distracted while flying their toys, using head tracking goggles, or stuff like that? Can this drone be programmed to perform specific routes and other functions not intended by its designers? Perhaps to manipulate objects via robotic?

[@UnexpectedUploads]

Linus, sir, please excuse me for a moment... I'm very sure you had the side bumpers/hull on backwards; this is the reason you saw the black parts in the video when you were panning with camera. If you put the red parts in the front to correspond with the prop color, you would be able to see more and is how it was originally meant to be. (see 1:31 for box packaging) Sorry to have been a bother, just wanted to let you know. :D Liked the video! Thanks!

[@jimmyf1312]

I would also like to see their opinion of DJI products like the new inspire 1 and phantom 2

[@MrP4RR0TT]

Whats the actual real world battery life on this and does its sensors allow it to stay stable in some light to moderate wind. If anyone knows that would be a massive help, thanks.

[@legendp2011]

how come the bitrate (resolution) looks bad in the trees? , can it record to an sd card?

[@Trylen]

that shout out was un-Bear-able.. I'm not gonna just grin and Bear it! You should be em-Bear-assed!

[@jonathanmorrison5397]

5:36 it wouldn't be a linus tech tips video without a cuss word aha!

[@Squidward1314]

Awesome video! :) p.s. TunnelBear is basically Hotspotshield?

[@catcrazy5564]

Thinking about getting my first drone. I need one with lost of range and versatility. I am a handicapped veteran and would like to have the feeling of being able to still participate in daring things. Any suggestions on ease of use and best for the cash?? Thanks, great video.

[@mayanksinghsolanki]

Liked the video for the crashing sequence

[@leoshevkun3645]

TunnelBear is amazing! Works very well and customer support is top notch. TunnelBear supporting Linus - double awesome ;)

[@jackyoung4545]

You put the side foam pieces on backwards. The black is supposed to be towards the back

[@MrSSGTFOREST]

Your segways to your sponsors complete me :3

[@Emjoez]

never really cared about drones, but this got me pretty interested. Great video Linus, just as always!

[@bosstroller99]

Linus, MAKE SCARPYARD WARS A REGULAR loving the "series: so far

[@_dagur]

could I use this with my one M8? Does it work in wind?

[@caretheis6779]

Can you do a review on the dji phantom 2 vision+ or even the dji inspire?

[@AntoniYOwned]

I wish I knew when the consumer version of the Rift will be released. Also, I don't even understand how you can wear a HMD while using one of those. I'm assuming a video will come out in the future, so I will wait.

[@DamianBrown]

So what toy grade would you recommend? :) Aka cheaper!

[@Raif_IT]

Wouldn't this work as an awesome camera? I mean like for action scenes from above and thru tight spaces and such.

[@containerfang5816]

When is your next Full room Water Cooling video coming out thankyou

[@ColtonBlumhagen]

Nice! It's a sponsor that I actually use.

[@AppleAssassin]

How long does the battery last for this thing? Like am I going to get 10 minutes of flight time out of each battery or is it going to last at LEAST 30 minutes each totaling an hour with the 2 batteries? And how long does it take to charge?

[@SasCologne]

On their website it says 11 minutes per battery, ~90min to charge. 30min per battery is unrealistic for that price.

[@SeriousnesszROBLOX]

I wish I had a tech channel like LinusTechTips.. it would be nice to get cool things like this from companies

[@brooped]

That looks ridiculously easy to fly. Having learned to fly some quite unstabilized quads, it looks like it totally takes the fun out of it. But, ridiculously good for aerial video, still.

[@imlostagainWTF]

how different is tunnel bear from something like tor browser, any safer?

[@Razor2048]

On their page, it says Flight time: 22 minutes with 2 batteries included, does that mean 11 minutes per battery?

[@twodimensionsjhr]

u were at the Langley Events Centre!

[@CraigWard]

Also. You want to be taking the bumpers of when flying at altitude. And you mounted them backwards too.

[@per_ringnes]

that drone is sick!

[@kanimeymusic]

The amount of puns were un-bear-able

[@Regnorok]

I never had any interests in drones, i do like RC stuff (what guy doesn't) but i didn't want to spend the time to hone the skills to effectively fly one. That is until this video, now i really want one of these!

[@awildtomappeared5925]

how do i insert the aphiliate code into any amazon oder

[@did4h2k]

any chance you put up a download to unedited footage?

[@VinnAProd]

Hi guys, I have a gps problem on a brand new unit. Any help?

[@thatoneguy829]

Imagine connecting an oculus to the live video stream. Amazing for some, terrifying for others.
