Hey guys, I'm ben from authentech today, We're checking out the parrot Bebop 2
FPV drone bundle now the bundle Kit includes the Bebop 2 Drone FPV goggles and the [long-range] controller
Some of its main specs include a 2700 milliamp hours battery that's rated up to 25 minutes of flight time
takes about an hour to Fully charge
And you can always buy extra batteries on Amazon for [around] 55 bucks
The 14 megapixel camera can shoot raw JpEg or DnG photos and 1080p video at 30FPs
Assembly is easy and straightforward the props are color-coded and twist on with the help of included tool
Size of the Drone is quite small which I like it kind of reminds me of the Mavic drone from DJI with its small body
Size if parrot can implement folding arms like the Mavic in the future then it would be ultra portable
the FPV pack comes with a quick start guide the goggles unit with adjustable head straps and a 90 degree field of view
The sky controller - it feels good in hand kind of reminds me of an Xbox one controller
It's [well-balanced] plenty of dials and buttons easily accessible. It has a built in battery
That's rated to last 4 hours of usage has a maximum range of 1.4 miles with a [built-in] phone or tablet holder
So let's go out flying. It's marketed as a stable flying platform and I have to admit
I was very impressed with how well it flies I've seen all sorts of negative reviews online
And it really blew away my expectations in terms of flying specifically
It's very agile and the controls are precise and responsive it drifts a little bit in the wind but not too bad
[it's] rated to hit top speeds around 37 miles per hour and it might test it just about hit those blazing fast speeds
The camera [quality] is ok it's recording video at 1080p, and there's no physical gimbal
It's all image stabilization, [but] it actually does a pretty amazing job
you can even turn role stabilization on or off if you want to feel like you're flying in a jet fighter the
Low-light images were pretty grainy and everything kind of looks muddy overall. I mean, it's not terrible quality I've seen worse
It's just [not] beautiful 4k footage like we've seen elsewhere
when you want to fly
FPV the goggles work by sliding out a case that holds your phone with an outlet for the cable and slides back in with Split-screen
View on your oh, this is kind of similar to that [lychee] app video. I made a while back
[I] appreciate this features baked right in I found the goggles a bit uncomfortable hard to balance on my head
And there's no pupil or focal adjustments. Which are kind of needed since everyone's eyes are different now
I'm a huge fan of flying drones, Via FPV it can be a fun and immersive experience
[I] liked their included osd and telemetry data easily viewable
And I also like the helpful arrows and box to show me where [my] home point was
Unfortunately I found the latency to be a bit too laggy
so I didn't use the goggles very often the app has plenty of controls and
customization which I always like lots of menu settings to play with you can easily view
Download or delete your photos and videos remotely in the app. You can have the drone do [rolls] and flips Midair
It has a new follow me feature. Which is great kind of lame
They're charging extra for these sort of features
They really ought to be free in my opinion after [you] spend hundreds on the equipment itself
Hopefully they change this in the future now it has two modes auto framing so with image recognition
It keeps the subject in the frame while you're flying around and auto follow where the drone will follow the Target
using the smartphone GPS and image recognition
Tracking is very impressive even visually alone
You can still rotate around or change elevation while tracking your subject even if you go under the drone
It can still follow you with no camera gimbal needed that's impressive feat only a couple times
Did it lose track [of] me visually but the more contrast you can have from your background the easier ill make on the quad?
Now my only major issue. I had was copying files over to my computer [since] there's no sd
Card slot kind of lame it must be connected via usB and powered on
It's mounted as an MTP device basically importing is kind of a pain
I even had some crashing and errors unable to copy files over
I read a tip from the parrot community forums to use the image capture app on my mac
And [that] did make it easier
You can also connect Via Wi-Fi and import Via FTP
But that's not very easy or convenient either I kind of wish they just mounted it as a uSB mass-storage
Drive or even better allowed access to an SD card, but maybe in their next model
So all-in-all the price for this whole bundle is normally $700, but Amazon is showing an option for only 500 bucks
And that's actually not bad of a price considering how fast and fun this little drone is I?
Wouldn't recommend getting it to shoot your next feature film on it's more just for fun learning [a] fly with safety features
[Built-in] like return to home and GPS stability and also great practice for drone racing as it has those precise controls and fast speeds
Plus the new Follow me feature is great to play with so all in all it's a pretty good package deal now
I'll give you the link to it down in the video [description]
