This video displasys a good comparison of the Parrot Bebop drone vs that of the Phantom 2, which is now replaced by the Phantom 3. Parrot would be a good entry level machine it seems than the "2". Easier to control, but only about 1/2 the battery life of the DJI. The Parrot will do some aerobatics. Smaller/lighter machine. The Parrot also has more limited video storage room with no chance for upgrade. Seems hard to beat the GoPro camera. I'm actually concerned that DJI made a mistake in moving away from them, though they now have combined battery sources which was a slight PIA of the Ph 2. Here's link to video...seems unbiased: http://dronesonvideo.com/drone-comparison-parrot-bebop-vs-dji-phantom-2/ |
