Peretz first couple consumer drones they were basically toys you piloted with your smartphone that happened to have cameras onboard the bebop on the other hand is made to be a flying camera I'm Josh Coleman with CNET and the parrot bebop packs a 14 megapixel camera with a fisheye f-22 lens with that camera you'll be able to capture Stills and 1080p video to its 8 gigs of internal storage and despite the camera being stationary parrot is using the cameras resolution to let you digitally pan and tilt the picture and stabilize the image on three axes like its AR drones the bebop can be flown indoors with its removable bumpers or outside but it's motors are more powerful so it can handle stronger winds and fly faster controlling can be done with the tablet or smartphone as usual but for an additional cost you can get the bebop with a sky controller that gives you full physical controls for the drone and camera increased Wi-Fi range and you can wirelessly connect to a tablet or to a screen via HDMI basically giving you a ground control station battery life is somewhat brief at about 11 minutes but the bebop will ship with two batteries when it arrives in the u.s. in December for 499 dollars alone or 899 with the sky controller and three batteries it will be available in the UK and Australia in 2015 and pricing for those regions is still being determined I'm Josh : and that's a quick look at the new parent bebop drone
