Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Parrot Bebop 1 Review”.
The smallest quadcopter in our roundup, the original bebop, is compact enough to slip into a normal backpack with the propellers attached, yet not so small that its flight suffers overly. Add the bulky but necessary sky controller with its gargantuan wifi antenna, however, and the portability advantage drops greatly. The wi-fi control interface is what really hurts this quad. It takes frustratingly long to pair and drops out frequently mid-flight, causing the bebop to stop and hover until reconnected parrot boasts a range of 1.4 miles, but even at top speed. There’S no way to fly that far with the dismal battery life, especially if you want to get it back. Part of the bebop size advantage comes from tucking. A high resolution camera ultra wide angle lens into the body and using software to crop the view down to 1080p to provide video stabilization. It works surprisingly well, but is tricky to get smooth slow pairs, while in flight we’d like to have an option to output the entire scene at full resolution with its size and price, the bebop is a family-friendly. Quadcopter, the propellers aren’t deadly and its video output is enjoyable.
It’S just too bad about the wi-fi walls. .
