Thanks for any replies in advance.

Have not flown one ,but seen one in action, looked ok.

Which one?

There are at least three versions. The Bebop, Bebop2, and the Bebop Power.

Lol. I was looking at the bebop 1 and the 2 did not know there was 3.

The Bebop Power is essentially the Bebop2 but with some extras.

I had the use of the original Bebop a few years ago and I have to say I wasn’t overly impressed. The Skycontroller was ridiculously oversized and the flight time averaged between five and eight minutes depending on conditions. If you look at my list of currently owned drones by clicking the Avatar you’ll notice it didn’t make the cut to be in my collection.

This is just my experience and others may be able to offer a different perspective as my time with it was limited.

Bebop 2 is a brilliant piece of kit with great flying time 20/25 minutes,has loads of onboard technology, skycontroler 2 is the better option, much smaller than the big knumb skycontroler I,leave the bebop 1 alone, flying time is a joke 6 minutes if you’re lucky, speaking from experience,

I have the original parrot bebop with the large skycontroller and I still enjoy flying it to thi day the battery you get with this give you about 10 mins flight time but you can pick some up off Ebay that gives you 25 mins flight time obviously depending on conditions and what your doing while flying if your recording the whole time you will get less flight time.

This is a link to a video I did before lockdown and this was filmed in 720p.
It does record in 1080p but I find they take up a lot of room on your phone as you have to transfer the footage from the 8gb internal memory of the drone to laptop PC or mobile
