  • The Parrot Bebop Drone gets points for being a compact, durable, easy-to-use quadcopter for capturing good video and photos. Battery life, performance and overall value make it tough to flat-out recommend, though...

  • Gorgeous race car design. Nosecam captures highdef footage. Feels very sturdy compared with previous Parrots. Control app provides an abundance of flighttweak options. Blade guards clip on and off with ease. Comes with two batteries
  • Requires a smartphone or tablet. Nosecam footage has whitebalance issues. Flight controls imprecise unless you add pricey joystick controller—and it's not sold separately. Short flight times. No followme or flightplan options

  • Cheap, Compact, Durable, Easy to learn
  • Limited battery life, Suspect build quality, Unreliable connectivity
  • More times than not, the Verge score is based on the average of the subscores below. However, since this is a non-weighted average, we reserve the right to tweak the overall score if we feel it doesn't reflect our overall assessment and price of the produ...

  • No. The Bebop can be fun, but it’s not worth the trouble. Not for $500, certainly, where you can only control it with your smartphone, and not for $900 when you’ll soon be able to buy a fully loaded DJI Phantom 3 including camera and gimbal for just $100...

  • Parrot's Bebop Drone ($500) has the company getting back to bigger drones, after releasing such products as the Jumping Sumo and the much smaller-than-usual Rolling Spider minidrone. Bebop Drone has a price tag to match that jump in size, and the drone fe...

  • Abstract:  I've used the two large quadricopters Parrot has released to date - the AR.Drone and AR.Drone 2.0 - but ever since I saw the Bebop at CES earlier this year, I knew I had to give it a try. The Bebop attacks two of the biggest issues of its predecessors hea...
