Bebop Drone 2: Parrots faster drone

In 18 seconds, the Parrot Bebop 2 drone reaches a height of 100 meters. Approximately 44 percent of total revenues of the French group with Bluetooth and automotive roots now account for the drones business. Rasant is the rise in both cases. The Bebop Drone 2 is, like its predecessors a quadrcopter since the AR Drone, which can start without much tinkering and my smartphone or tablet control.

However, a special liability insurance for 100 to 200 euros per year should not shy away from the user, as well as a detailed analysis of the Aviation Act. There are numerous regulations for control zones, Bann miles around airports and city centers. Nonetheless, growing the business. Parrots drones for private customers account for about 75 percent of the profit in Q2 2015 amounted to EUR 33.5 million - is the driving force behind Parrot Bebop, which will now be available in the second generation of 549 euros.

Leisure, beginners or all-purpose drone, the terms, the fall in connection with Parrots Bebop. 2 The 549-euro aircraft is more than just a toy, but it also takes not so easy with a professional camera drone on, the start price in regions around 1000 euros. The Bebop 2 promises up to 25-minute flight, arcade fun and camera functions at favorable drones missing. "If Flying is a breeze ..." it is said in the press release for the launch - Even if the manufacturer "simple adventure without previous experience" promises first flight tests should be tackled carefully.

The sensor of a camera on the bottom, ultrasonic, pressure and acceleration sensor 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis magnetometer, accelerometer and last but not least its own GPS and GLONASS navigation system consisting keep the drone in the air. If the 500 grams comparatively light aircraft detected by the wind, said sensors stabilize the situation. The maximum speed of 60 km / h (21 km / h climbing performance) can be limiting my app with the maximum tilt angle, the riser height should be limited for the time being beginners.

New engines and enlarged rotors make the Bebop Drone 2 even faster in the long run inevitable accidents and crashes, the manufacturer against a more robust housing made of polystyrene and polycarbonate. The plastic is flexible and malleable, after a crash, you can turn the rotors until they listen again correctly. At the sound itself can rather detect irregularities. Before crashing at 60 km / h in a wall or branches, leaves to the flight rather Once the automatic.

Between Tablet controller and Sky controllers are worlds

On an iOS or Android device only needs 3 Free Flight app to install and away you go.Up to 300 meters distance, the wireless connection is to achieve dual-band and MIMO support. In Germany, such an aircraft can, however, be controlled only by sight, controlled maneuvers are no longer backed up at 100 meters distance. The Free Flight app and GPS have connected, the user will receive two digital joysticks on the screen: Links check that the riser height and horizontal alignment, the right you move the drone before, back or side. To perform continuous movements, it takes a lot of practice. For beginners, the Bebop Drone 2 therefore feels more like a robot, move the student pilot without haste from position to position.

In fact, the more direct input facilitates the flight immensely. But the same effect arises even with an Nvidia Shield Portable one. A smartphone with PlayStation 4 controller provides this more direct input. By Skycontroller the pilot is also even more precise radar data.

14 Megapixel photos and Full HD video recording

Aerials are a major reason to buy drones, Parrot offers the hobbyist with a permanently installed Wide lens with 14 megapixels stunning picture quality. Compared to its predecessor, the Bebop Drone 2 uses the same optics, with either 180 ° - photos in Fisheye format, or in 16: 3 can be taken: 9 and 4. FIG. The images are stored as either RAW or JPEG. Videos are stored in Full HD in H.264, but the software utilizes a stabilized section of the wide-angle image.

The section can be moved within the 14 megapixels and also addressed by the projecting lens almost zenithal down. An autonomous from the flight to view like a gimbal achieves these embedded camera of course not. In terms of image quality, the Action Cam Parrot Bebop 2 is also a need to admit defeat GoPro Hero with 4K support. The manufacturer's promotional trailer should show genuine photographs - if they can be achieved in a private environment, independent tests have show.

App Flightplan autopilot and telemetry

The app Free Flight 3, which is used on the mobile device to control, has become a little more sophisticated. Thus, for individual flights in retrospect understand how in a black box with height, distance and position data.
