For someone that hasn't done much research on these, you have really opened my eyes in terms of what to get, do's n dont's as well as a direction to go in when ready to but. Ty for your very informative video.
You have a real talent for blending video and technical matters. Most engineers can't talk without confusing themselves and the people who are supposed to be learning from them. You're very good at presenting both without being boring or overly artsy.
He put the hulls on the wrong side. Meaning the right side hull is on the left side and vise versa. Doesn't really make any difference other than upside down words.
The blade guards aren't supposed to be on outdoors as they severely effect flight handling in the wind. It's better to take them off and not crash than have them on and increase the chances of crashing.
In all the videos I have seen so far showing the Parrot bebop there is a glitch in the video where it looks like it does a quick jump back and forth, not quite sure how to describe it. I figure it is a bug in the software control that can be fixed. On a side note it sounds as if you are pronouncing DJI as DGI, you're not the only one tho as it seems like a common mispronunciation.
Ben7seven7 The Beebop has a fixed camera so the side to side will show up no matter what, a gimbal corrects that problem, if you want to test this for yourself grab a cheap toy grade quad with camera and take video, you will see the same jumping around that you witnessed on the Beebop.
I don't know, do not plan on buying the bebop due to the high cost of the skycontroller, I am looking at their other one which I found a controller that I can connect to my phone to control, saves the expense since the other one has about the same camera and costs 100 bucks less plus has a downwards facing camera.
I have two Parrot AR Drone 2's for Sale. One is the original Parrot AR Drone 2 and the second is the power edition which has upgraded motors and improved batteries.
Guy Random *I highly recommend watching here **#rporT5BQyCM** before buy DJI Phantom 2, because it helps you know that you choose the right product ! .*
Great job comparing the Bebop and the DJI. I just purchased a Bebob for a great price, under $450. Haven't flown it yet, too windy and wintry in MD but have the apps on my phone and tablets. Will let you know how I do with it.
Great non bias review! However, the Bebop is a lot more effective and easier to control out-doors if you take off the bumpers. The bumpers are for indoor flight only, when used outside it picks up a lot more wind resistance pushing it around a lot more then if they were not there.
Great comparison but I would like to know how well they pack up to move around. I'd like to take it out in Kan Country, skiing and even out to Hawaii so whatever I use has to pack away easily.
It's worth noting that the Phantom 2 only gets a 25 minute flight time or even a little better when no gimbal and camera is on it. Adding a gimbal and doc accessories will reduce flight time sub 20 mins. The new Phantom 3 which has everything on it camera gimbal etc is expected to have 23 minute flight time using a 4 cell battery vs the Phantoms 2s 3 cell.
How's the noise and windy conditions comparison of the two drones? I've seen the Phantom 2 being used on a construction site on a windy day and it seemed to be quite stable. It seem to be pretty quite also even though it was pretty close a few times.
Why are you flying the bebop with the indoor hull?? That will make your flight very bad because the bumpers work like sailed and gets blown around!! Also if you get an Ndidia shield for your bebop you get awesome control than using the touch screen! Also you don't have to pay the money for the sky controller. My bebop fly's extremely stable with the Nvidia shield!
+rAdiant Jet while the sky controller is not needed, it does give you some added features... like the ability to fly over a mile away... i currently fly mine with the shield as well but plan to add the controller in the near future
Hi .. just watched your first video. Its impressive. I am just getting into this as a hobby. I have no prior experience with flying a drone. Is there one that you will recommend to try out (something cheaper so it woudnt hurt if I crash it) before I buy one of these expensive ones. TIA.
Wow $900 when the parrot was new ...... I’ve bought 4/5 of these drones “refurbished and I have not paid more than $85 usd. And for under $100 they are an unbeatable value...... I had no idea that they retailed for that b Much when they came out.
Great video, I'm just starting out I fly the syma X5C and am getting good with it and I always thought the DJI was next. You have opened my eyes to the be bop.i love shooting video but I'm no pro so I will look at the be bop more now. Thank you
I have a gopro hero 3 and would be quit keen to buy the DJI but my main use for it would be to film the likes of mountain bikes moving down a track so I think the DJI would be good due to its speed. I do like the bepbop as it allows you to see what your filming which you can do with the gopro app but with the 5 sec lag and poor connection distance I don't know if id be better with the bepbop. Any advise ?
so what do you think is best, I am just getting into the Arial drone market and not real good at flying RC Helicopters so which one o you think is easier cause i really don't want to crash any of them
+brian james i would recommend getting some more quadcopter flight experience before jumping into aerial photography. These high end machines say meant for beginners, but aren't as forgiving for crashes. Even pro's still crash : )
Farhad Ranjbaran Hi Farhad. Yes you can change the angle quite a lot using the a dedicated joystick on the skycontroller or by using the app if not using the sky controller.
I'm sorry, which GoPro camera are you using? I couldn't tell if the video was about drones, or one big pluggin for the GoPro Hero 4 Black edition. Still good video eview.
Thank you for your review, this Aussie found the review interesting and well put together, the commentator was across his subject and wasn't over the top, so to speak. Well done and thanks for doing a great job. Regards from Down Under.
Nice video. I appreciate the comparison. At the end you mentioned purchasing a quadcopter for around $40 to practice. There are tons of options. I would love to see a video where you review some of your top choices. There are a lot of reviews out there but I have not seen one that is directed towards someone who wants to upgrade to a phantom, parrot, or other similar quality. What cheep drone best helps you learn for one of these guys. Thanks
Have you tested the 3DR Solo? I'm looking for a solution Quad-based aerial photography solution. The Solo looks good but I'm reading bad things about the gimbal and that their optical flow sensor is vaporware.
I have a gopro - is there any way to see what you are taking a photo/film of from the ground? Does that require the GoPro's wifi to be connected to a tablet/smartphone that may interfere with the Phantom's connection to the controller?
You've probably found this out by now but in answer to your question, the Phantom is a " proper " drone , fully RADIO controlled, while the Bebop is WiFi, with WiFi you get limited range, and noticeable lag when controlling the drone. You do however get the option of FPV(line streaming of what the drone is seeing) but above a certain range, if you can't see the drone and you try to control it based on the video feed, the last will renew it almost unusable. Add to that the low storage, poor quality and visibility and inability to withstand any but the lightest breeze, and it's clear that this is really just a toy. And that's fine, that's what Parrot does. With the sky controller, which enables radio control, its a more appealing prospect, but not only is it still too light, too underpowered, and too low in battery life, its also the same price as the Phantom with camera gimple, if you add the sky controller. The Phantom is quite simply, brilliant, it has so many more features, and a whole slew of uses. Another point is that for much less than the price of a skycontroller, you can pick up a starter FPV kit. A pair of goggles and a transmitter, Real FPV is lower quality video than WiFi but has a far better range of up to around 20 kilometres with the right antenna and is seperately powered so it doesn't use your battery like the built in camera on the Bebop. And no lag, because it is transmitted in a different format with much more powerful equipment. At the end of it the Phantom is a much much better choice, especially if you already have a gopro.
@MW Technology 0:34 The characters"Parrot" are upside-down. Why? . P.S. There are many accidents in my country that Phantoms crash during flying. There was no reason. There was no trouble but a Phantom suddenly crashed. As you know that Phantom is Made in China. Parrot Bebop is Made in France. Therefore I will buy Parrot Bebop.
Bebops crash too. Phantoms are more popular therefore more crashes. The bebop is shit so nobody buys it. Everybody buys a phantom because it's not shit.
I thought this video was very well put together and as somebody who is just beginning to research buying a drone that is more than just a toy with video platform this was a great comparison of two commonly known entry level drones. Thanks!
Does the Hero 4 Black have a GoPro app that allows you to monitor on your phone or tablet what is being seen? That's much cheaper and less of a hassle than hooking up an FPV cam.
They're called fanboys because they can never just be happy with what they have. They have to trash talk the other side to justify their purchase. Seriously, regardless of what drone you bought, just enjoy your drone.
I'm struggling to decide what drone to get, I know these are on the older side now but in terms of camera quality and range I would say they are both still able to compete with the newest drones available these days. price is the largest factor! can anyone tell me if the bebop has the ability to pitch the camera? and if it does what is the maximum downward angle?
The two UAVs you have selected are, as you said, not really comparable. Having said that there are some pretty insane deals in the shops and on-line too. So your may be able to pick up a high end UAV for a really good price. So it is seasons greetings
Ill start off by saying I am new to drones. I was thinking about getting a phantom, but then I also have to buy a Go Pro which is almost 500$. I have watched this video comparison and multiple others and they pretty much all say the same thing. The BEBOP is pretty good, especially for an entry level drone. Everyone here seems to think its a piece of junk but all the professional websites and reviewers think otherwise. For $500 total you get the BEBOP, Im gonna give it a shot!
Waj - I had a quick question regarding the Parrot. Does it have a 'follow' mode? I'm a cycling coach, and I also teach cyclist safety, and was wondering if there was a 'Lead' or 'follow' option for the Parrot that played off of a BT signal, say, maybe from a phone in a jersey pocket or such. I know battery life is limited on these quads, but I have to believe we could build some significant and good short videos explaining lane position, hidden hazards in the 2-d plane, and site lines as well as striping on roads. Do either of these units offer that? Do any?
Do you really need a FPV- kit with the Phantom? is there no chance to stream form the Gopro and how is the lagg if its possible? Cheers and great video :) now one step closer to getting my second drone :D
Tim Lundborg Turning wifi on a GoPro will not only have very limited range as well as some lag. More importantly if you have it on an aircraft that uses 2.4ghz to control it (which most do) then you will crash the craft, it's happened to others. You need a proper FPV system operating on a difference frequency than the control if you want live video from any flying platform that does not include it's own integrated FPV system. You can get FPV systems in varying power output and frequencies including 1.2ghz 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz with 5.8ghz being the most popular. Combine that with good circular polarized and helical antennas and you'll have good range and quality of signal.
is there any way to link an wifi extender with phantom 2 with go pro 4? im not talking about the phantom 2 vision nop, the actual phantom 2 with gopro 4?? is there a way to do that?
Sooo ive been looking at getting into this hobby for a while but the only thing that scares me is the price tag. I deff want to get something that has a gps system so that i can do long range flights if i wanted to so i was actually looking at the DJI F550. Can you give me some generic price of what i may be looking at without all the bells and whistles?
john doe I got the controller a week ago. it's definitely worth it, it makes it easier to control the done plus it has an upgraded antenna for better range
As soon as you said the bebops battery was difficult i denounced this review. All you have to do is grab the connector within the bebop and then plug the battery in....I could do it in about 10 seconds and that includes replacing the old one... I am not going to get started about how you compared the gp4 to the bebop camera. Also did you compare there durability? Try to crash that phantom into a tree and see what happens...
When you connect your GoPro to your phone while flying, you run the risk of destroying your drone because the GoPro connects to your phone via wifi and I don't know the reason behind this, but when the GoPro gets out of range of the phone, it messes with the drone, and the drone loses connection with the controller. This happened to me, and I happened to take off under a tree, so when the drone returned to home, it got stuck 100 feet in the air.
I think you didn't read the my friend part. Not me. Plus I don't get the whole quality thing people have for cameras or videos. It all looks the same to me but I don't judge.
***** Can you please tell me whats better then the go pro? And cheaper? Not a fan of Gopro but with so many out there id hope you can help me out. Thanks
Pro Beauty And Health Store I have an SJ4000 by SJCAM. It's the same size as a GoPro. It even has a colour screen, and you can get them for £50 from Amazon. (Cheaper ones can be fakes.)
For someone that hasn't done much research on these, you have really opened my eyes in terms of what to get, do's n dont's as well as a direction to go in when ready to but. Ty for your very informative video.
You have a real talent for blending video and technical matters. Most engineers can't talk without confusing themselves and the people who are supposed to be learning from them. You're very good at presenting both without being boring or overly artsy.
Is it that hard to figure out the indoor bumpers on the parrot are on backwards?
No because half of the braces are black and the other half is blue, and the bebop drone is half black half blue
How did you manage to mess p the protector bumps on the Parrot Bebop? You switched them around, and the Parrot logo was upside down...
Why are you telling me this?
He put the hulls on the wrong side. Meaning the right side hull is on the left side and vise versa. Doesn't really make any difference other than upside down words.
How can anyone trust a guy that puts the blade guards on upside down and leaves them on when outdoors?
LOL
Haha good one
KCG - Kodie Collings Gaming what if he actually cares about safety and doesn't want people to be speared by a drone?
The blade guards aren't supposed to be on outdoors as they severely effect flight handling in the wind. It's better to take them off and not crash than have them on and increase the chances of crashing.
KCG - Kodie Collings Gaming plus it looks like the blade guards came backwards. Blue goes with the blue props and black with black right?
In all the videos I have seen so far showing the Parrot bebop there is a glitch in the video where it looks like it does a quick jump back and forth, not quite sure how to describe it. I figure it is a bug in the software control that can be fixed.
On a side note it sounds as if you are pronouncing DJI as DGI, you're not the only one tho as it seems like a common mispronunciation.
Lol I just noticed that's how I say it too, Dji is much harder to pronounce
Ben7seven7 The Beebop has a fixed camera so the side to side will show up no matter what, a gimbal corrects that problem, if you want to test this for yourself grab a cheap toy grade quad with camera and take video, you will see the same jumping around that you witnessed on the Beebop.
anthony eaglebarger No, from what I understand the problem is a software / firmware glitch which I think has been fixed.
I don't know, do not plan on buying the bebop due to the high cost of the skycontroller, I am looking at their other one which I found a controller that I can connect to my phone to control, saves the expense since the other one has about the same camera and costs 100 bucks less plus has a downwards facing camera.

Great job comparing the Bebop and the DJI. I just purchased a Bebob for a great price, under $450. Haven't flown it yet, too windy and wintry in MD but have the apps on my phone and tablets. Will let you know how I do with it.
thank you very helpful will you be doing a video with the new solo against the phantom?
Great video! Are you from Vancouver perchance? at 7:14 that totally looks like the skate park by the rec center in cloverdale
Great non bias review! However, the Bebop is a lot more effective and easier to control out-doors if you take off the bumpers. The bumpers are for indoor flight only, when used outside it picks up a lot more wind resistance pushing it around a lot more then if they were not there.

Great job on video, very informative.
Great video. Thanks. What is the $40 starter quad you mentioned?
You know the parts on the sides of the bebop are intended to use for inside flying right? I have one and when I bought it they told me.
do a comparison video with vision plus and bebop
Thanks for the great review, I was wondering if you could do one for the bebop 2.0. If you could that would be great thx
How's the noise and windy conditions comparison of the two drones? I've seen the Phantom 2 being used on a construction site on a windy day and it seemed to be quite stable. It seem to be pretty quite also even though it was pretty close a few times.
Nice job, Waj. This was very informative for me.

Just purchased a Phantom 2.. have been flying a Andomada and have become quite good at flying it. So we'll see how it goes with a more serious quad.

NeXTSTORMING and 3:18
Cool vid. My question, can you actually see the video while d drone in flight or ...
2nd, do you have the noise decibels?
Good review thank you.
My question is on Service. Witch company has it. I have herd bad so far.
Where did you get that stand that spun around while the bepop was on it? Around 12:40 in the video
I mean 10:21
Where can I buy the titles like you have at 1:29?
GREAT video :D + Beatles T-shirt bonus! Just what I needed, as I am needing to compare these two drones.
Wow $900 when the parrot was new ...... I’ve bought 4/5 of these drones “refurbished and I have not paid more than $85 usd. And for under $100 they are an unbeatable value...... I had no idea that they retailed for that b

hey you might want to try the bebop drone without the protective dish as it usually disrupts the flight and makes it less stable
I have a gopro hero 3 and would be quit keen to buy the DJI but my main use for it would be to film the likes of mountain bikes moving down a track so I think the DJI would be good due to its speed.

so what do you think is best, I am just getting into the Arial drone market and not real good at flying RC Helicopters so which one o you think is easier cause i really don't want to crash any of them

Hi there, is parrot bebop able to do 90 degrees aerial view like Phantom did at 7.05 of the video? Thanks for your video dude.
Have you tested the 3DR Solo? I'm looking for a solution Quad-based aerial photography solution. The Solo looks good but I'm reading bad things about the gimbal and that their optical flow sensor is vaporware.
Super informativ, kompakt und dazu noch klasse Videos!
Danke!
Great Video Review......very helpful in trying to decide which way to go as a novice.
How about the current Parrot vs the current Phantom 3 pro?
(I heard on some other video that the sensor in the phantom was the same as the go pro)
I have a gopro - is there any way to see what you are taking a photo/film of from the ground? Does that require the GoPro's wifi to be connected to a tablet/smartphone that may interfere with the Phantom's connection to the controller?

0:34 The characters"Parrot" are upside-down. Why?
.
P.S. There are many accidents in my country that Phantoms crash during flying.
There was no reason.
There was no trouble but a Phantom suddenly crashed.
As you know that Phantom is Made in China.
Parrot Bebop is Made in France.
Therefore I will buy Parrot Bebop.
Bebops crash too. Phantoms are more popular therefore more crashes. The bebop is shit so nobody buys it. Everybody buys a phantom because it's not shit.
Stating the facts.
What's the run time on the bebop with out the the prop guards?
Great introduction to the world of aerial drone videography, thanks!
I thought this video was very well put together and as somebody who is just beginning to research buying a drone that is more than just a toy with video platform this was a great comparison of two commonly known entry level drones. Thanks!

This idea works with so much fucking things like IPhone vs android or Apple vs Windows or Xbox vs PlayStation!
Enjoy your stuff and that's it 😂😂😂
Excellent video, keep up the great work.
i have heard that the bebop hsd some connection problems. Like loosing control of the drone. Did you expirienc something like that?
Would I be able to put a Zenmuse gymbal on a Phantom 2 Vision? I understand the Vision setup is different from the normal Phantom 2
Could you do bebop 2 vs phantom 3 standard?
Nice Beatles shirt and instruments in background! Oh and great comparison video!
So I just purchased a GpPro4 Silver. Can I use it with the Phantom and Gimbal combo?
when you recommend a drone under 40 is there a specific one you go with?
I'm struggling to decide what drone to get, I know these are on the older side now but in terms of camera quality and range I would say they are both still able to compete with the newest drones available these days.
price is the largest factor!
can anyone tell me if the bebop has the ability to pitch the camera? and if it does what is the maximum downward angle?
Hi, I'm looking for a drone that can fly a mile from the controller and fly fast and stay aloft long. What do you recommend?
Could you provide an Amazon link to the about $40 drone for practice you mentioned? Thanks.
hey mw technolegy im a young fella looken for a good drone is the parrot a good starter
Very well put together video, thank you, that was very helpful.
The two UAVs you have selected are, as you said, not really comparable. Having said that there are some pretty insane deals in the shops and on-line too. So your may be able to pick up a high end UAV for a really good price. So it is seasons greetings
I'm confused about whichever is chosen...What do you prefer...?? please tell me

Great job on this video, very informative
I have a Bebop 2 bought as a present for Christmas with the sky controller, I love it,
Waj - I had a quick question regarding the Parrot. Does it have a 'follow' mode?

There is one drone that can follow subjects completely on its own that I know of. I've forgotten the name though
***** Walkera has that function.
The hexo+ has a follow function
Richard Wharton The bebop does not have that function yet. Parrot assures users
on their website that it will be on the next firmware update.

I am looking for new avenues of income. Do you think a drone is a good business to sell aerial vids for realtors?
MW technology do you know good simulators for the parrot bepoop please answer
Where did you get the transition graphics? AfterEffects?
is the Propel Altitude 2.0 a good beginner video drone
Thinking of getting a quadcopter for video, this is a great vid, thanks! Will probably get a low priced model to learn how to fly first.
Alvin Yap get a Parrot ar drone 2.0 for learning
Matt Jenkins I have a Phantom 2 v2 now and I started learning right with the AR Drone 2.0 Power Edition!
is there any way to link an wifi extender with phantom 2 with go pro 4? im not talking about the phantom 2 vision nop, the actual phantom 2 with gopro 4?? is there a way to do that?
I would really want to ask about the resistance of the Parrot Bebop against wind. Also, how stable is it while flying.
It locks into its position using GPS, so if it gets blown away by the wind, it just flies back. Flying with it has been pretty stable for me.
Thank you so much
could you hook up a thermal camera to the bebop?
Sooo ive been looking at getting into this hobby for a while but the only thing that scares me is the price tag. I deff want to get something that has a gps system so that i can do long range flights if i wanted to so i was actually looking at the DJI F550. Can you give me some generic price of what i may be looking at without all the bells and whistles?
what drone would i buy as my first proper drone ?
Thanks for making the video it was very informative and very professional.
how well does the bepbop work with a smart phone?
just got the parrot bebop at walmart for 200.00 its my first drone. does anyone have experience with it? do you recommend getting the controller?
john doe I got the controller a week ago. it's definitely worth it, it makes it easier to control the done plus it has an upgraded antenna for better range
Xdnxsavage how much was it?
280 if I remember correctly
Thks.
What is a good beginners flight training drone?
So cool I have been wanting to see a video like this
As soon as you said the bebops battery was difficult i denounced this review. All you have to do is grab the connector within the bebop and then plug the battery in....I could do it in about 10 seconds and that includes replacing the old one...
I am not going to get started about how you compared the gp4 to the bebop camera.
Also did you compare there durability?
Try to crash that phantom into a tree and see what happens...
Can you use the wifi setting on your phone with the phantom, or does it have no range?
When you connect your GoPro to your phone while flying, you run the risk of destroying your drone because the GoPro connects to your phone via wifi and I don't know the reason behind this, but when the GoPro gets out of range of the phone, it messes with the drone, and the drone loses connection with the controller. This happened to me, and I happened to take off under a tree, so when the drone returned to home, it got stuck 100 feet in the air.
+Lewis Busch-Vogel the phantom 2 uses 2.4ghz for control, the GoPro uses wifi, wifi uses 2.4ghz so it makes sense for it to interfere but it shouldn't
Great Video, very helpful. for someone thinking about getting a drone
Is a Galaxy Tab2 V4.2.2 compatible with V2+ ... and the ADVANCED / PRO Dji drones ?
My friend owns a Bebop and he wanted more fps so he strapped a GoPro to the top of the drone and it stayed perfectly stable!
I think you didn't read the my friend part.
Not me. Plus I don't get the whole quality thing people have for cameras or videos. It all looks the same to me but I don't judge.
***** Can you please tell me whats better then the go pro? And cheaper? Not a fan of Gopro but with so many out there id hope you can help me out. Thanks
Pro Beauty And Health Store I have an SJ4000 by SJCAM. It's the same size as a GoPro. It even has a colour screen, and you can get them for £50 from Amazon. (Cheaper ones can be fakes.)
Good video - Thank you from Australia mate : )
Cool video! I think I went to high school with this guy too!!
Also noticed that the vision plus is around 1100 US Dollars.
