I like your balance and to the point reviews without the blabbering one finds too often. I've flown Parrot for just over a year - the biggest gripe is the lens vulnerability to scratches otherwise this it is very robust and can take abuse like few others.

I just bought this bundle today for $145US ($200AU). I remember buying the bebop1 and sky controller for $1400AU when it came out and was lucky enough to take it back and use the same money to get a DJI P3.. which still powers along 7 years on.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but although there's no gimball like in the Phantom or so, there's indeed some movement in the camera. Not only i would say I've read it somewhere else, but I think I've experimented it myself. A few days ago I was flying it and some water drop or something got stuck in the protector of the camera. I'm just learning how to fly it so I didn't care at the moment. But when I saw the video later on, when the drone makes some kind of sudden movement (start/stop mostly since I don't have the FPV packet) the drop in the image kind of "responded" as you would expect from an stabilization system. I think it's mechanical as well, not only software but... Thank you for the review!

Thanks Ben. Thats what I needed to know. Parrot you have just avoided an unhappy customer. Parrot be aware selling a bad FPV experience is not a good idea. A google cardboard will work just as well, and it's deceptive to market it as FPV goggles. When it's really just a google cardboard clone. + your Parrot Drone + controller. I understand it's a competitive market and you have to survive just be careful. You maybe sacrificing short term gains for your long term survival. I guess this is me saying I can see your sweat.. You made a wise choice in trusting Ben with a product review. That reflects well on you. Good luck, Parrot.

Mark Hidden I don't have a BB2 but I do have a BB1 and use my galaxy S7 phone with my Gear VR and it was an amazing experience. what do you expect for $500. a Mavic Pro with high end Fatshark FPV goggles for $500. good luck with that. the Parrot drones are not the highest end do all be all of drones and they ltey to market them as such. For what you pay they are great. And try crashing a Phantom and a BB2 into the side of the building and see which one can still fly. I'll take the BB1 or 2 with metal frame as a posed to the toy grade plastic of a Phantom.

Have you ever loss one or more of your propellers on your bebop 2 drone? I HAVE SEVERAL TIME! Usually on a hard landing. It is frustrating and shouldn't happen but it does. Well here is the product that is a solution to preventing that from happening again. These Bebop 2 Propeller Plugs are easy to install and works great. Just using your figures, mainly your tum, press Bebop 2 Propeller Plugs into the larger propeller holes. They lock the propellers in place and will not let them unlock. I haven't loss a propeller since installing the Bebop 2 Propeller Plugs. You can find them on ebay, just search for “bebop 2 propeller plug”.

While waiting for my Mavic to arrive, I'm thinking of buying one of these Bebop 2 package on sale for $500. I like the thought of trying out the FPV goggles...even if they just use a glamorized phone app. Should I just wait for my Mavic to arrive in a few months? I'm more into the flying experience than 4K camera capabilities. BTW... I'm not super happy that the Mavic technically does not allow an iPad mini.

Thanks! I may succomb to the temptation of buyng it because I'm very curious about using FPV goggles. I know the iPhone hybrid is not a dedicated FPV goggle like the Fat Shark, but I'm curious to try them. I read that the Mavic will not be compatible with current FPV goggles, so it's worth a few bucks to try them. I'm kinda interested in Drone Racing, too. So, this is kind of a beginner package for that. If not, it's eBay time again!

I also looked at some racing drones since my experience is in RC Airplanes vs drones (besides the AR Drone). Thanks

Jamie Grigor I have a bebop 2, my son a phantom 3 standard. In my opinion, the bebop 2 is the better choice, it's easier to fly, better range, I think the standard 3s range is 0.8 miles, the bebop 2 is 1.25 miles. There is not a HUGE difference in picture quality, if you are just going to fly recreationally. I wouldn't trade mine for his for any reason.

No zoom. But, it’s a great drone. I’ve had mine for about 2 months & haven’t come up with a serious negative yet. However, I should probably add that my friend caught it on Amazon for 50% at Xmas for $150. He took it up once. Had it hover. Then, I bought it from him for about half of what he paid. So, to me this thing is great. FYI, my friend only got it to hover because the app kept crashing (the drone hovered steady as a rock). I always fly with sky controller & phone with app together. I’ve had 0 problems.
