Unique A.I.-powered piloting features help you take truly impressive shots, even if you're a novice flyer.
Expertly created by Parrot engineers, a neural network analyzes live images captured by the Parrot Bebop 2 Power’s camera. This artificial intelligence recognizes different elements of its surroundings, such as humans and vehicles, and makes the Parrot Bebop 2 Power’s visual tracking incredibly accurate. Using the FreeFlight Pro app on your smartphone or tablet, it also simplifies selection of focal subjects in your photos and videos.
-
Cameraman: Like a director’s assistant, this mode allows you to take perfect videos and photos effortlessly. Just double-tap the screen on your smartphone to focus or slide a finger on the screen to position your subject into the frame. With this built-in artificial intelligence, you can now focus on piloting and the Parrot Bebop 2 Power will capture the perfect shot. Even if the subject is moving, its position will remain the same in the frame.
· Magic Dronies: Capture the ultimate "dronie" using the Parrot Bebop 2 Power’s four automatic movements, which use visual recognition and your smartphone's GPS position. The Orbit, Tornado, Parabola or Boomerang modes capture the dramatic visual effect you select while ensuring you’re in the center of the frame at all times.
· Follow Me with GPS and visual tracking: Integrated into the Parrot Bebop 2 Power, this feature gives the drone the capacity to follow your every step, record your adventures, and keep you in the center of the video -- even during extreme sports activities!
· Auto Shots: The new quadcopter offers four pre-programmed flying movements to capture landscape views with sophisticated photographic features and camera effects. Each automated visual effect is accessible in a flash via the 360, Reveal, Epic and Rise presets.
Parrot Bebop 2 Power is equipped with a customized wide-angle lens and cutting-edge anti-distortion technology to provide bright and clear aerial shots.
Its patented 3-axis digital stabilization technology provides crisp stabilized images, reducing vibrations and aliasing effects. Its 14-megapixel 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor allows you to film in Full HD at 30fps, with the ability to capture JPEG and Adobe DNG RAW images for retouching during post-production.
The new FreeFlight Pro app offers a new, intuitive interface, including a photo and video widget.
The pleasure of piloting, accessible to everyone!
Parrot reworked the Parrot Bebop 2 Power’s piloting ergonomics to offer both ease-of-use and advanced features that will please everyone.
Parrot Bebop 2 Power offers a new flying experience that begins at take-off! The sensors identify if the drone is on the ground or in your hand. If Parrot Bebop 2 Power is on your hand, click on the app or Parrot Skycontroller 2 take-off button and propellers will turn slowly. Throw the ParrotBebop 2 Power in front of you, and the propellers will accelerate until they stabilize the drone. Now it’s ready to fly.

Piloting modes that suit each usage
Parrot Bebop 2 Power introduces two piloting pre-sets:
-
‘Sport’ mode releases the raw power of the machine! This mode is ideal for FPV drone races, with a top speed of 40 mph (65km/h). At high speeds, the quadcopter will tilt while turning, but remain perfectly stable.
-
‘Video’ mode adopts settings that are ideal for aerial shoots. The drone's movement and rotation speeds are tightly controlled.
Each mode can be customized to suit your own piloting style.
-
Touch & Fly: Tap a location to explore
Touch & Fly is a navigation feature that allows you to select a position on the map and the drone will fly there autonomously. Holding Keep finger on the map will add the location as a point of interest.
An intense immersive experience
The new Parrot Cockpitglasses 2 are lightweight, compact, foldable and comfortable for any pilot, thanks to an adjustable interpupillary distance.
Compatible with the majority of smartphones (up to 6 inches), Parrot Cockpitglasses 2 place you at the heart of the action with a wide, 96-degree field of view. The landscape will zoom in front of your eyes as you capture precise images with no disruption. Similar to a heads-up display, information from the flight is presented in your view (e.g. altitude, speed, distance and level of battery). A button allows you to switch to Sight View, meaning that you will stop FPV mode without removing the goggles. In Sight View, the app enables camera pass-through, so you will see a live view of your surroundings.

-
The ‘Return Home’ button in the app and on the Parrot Skycontroller 2 makes the Bebop 2 Power automatically return to its take-off point.
