I had a drone 2.0. This bebop drone has the same approx. weight and size. I bought mine to see if quadcopters interest me. This didn't last 2 weeks. I saw the potential of the quads, but it was VERY clear to me this was like flying a kite. I couldn't lift it 75 feet off the ground without it being pushed ALL over the place. Even if you look at the promo video of the new parrot look at it closely. It's struggling to stay put. Even the footage the "3 axis" stabilization is shaky.
I won't go on here as it is pointless, but if you even have the slightest doubt you can even compare a Phantom and a Parrot it is clear you never flown a Parrot. I crashed the Parrot at least 50+ times, but the Phantom a total of 0 times, this is at the same location. I couldn't do figure 8's with the Parrot. The Phantom I could do until the battery dies.
Parrot is great as marketing and they are at Radio Shack and Future Shop and Best buy. Great at being exposed. I would never ever spend a dime on another Parrot quad, even if mine had zero problems.
It is seriously targeted at consumers who wants to get into the game and want to fly indoors.
Not EVER again.
