Parrot has announced it’s replacement to the AR2, the Bebop, and it looks awesome!
It has a full HD camera, with a undistorted fish eye lens and 3 axis image stabilization and 180 degree field of view.
The Bebop also has a built in GPS, so it doesn’t need an additional module like the AR.2
The Freeflight app is being upgraded to version 3, but even more exciting is the SkyController addition.
This has an almost 2 Kilometer range, and use flight sticks instead of the virtual controls on your smart phone. And you can even connect first person glasses, or even the Oculus Rift for head tracking camera moves!
No word on price, but likely more expensive than the $300 AR.2. Still looks very cool, and with a full HD camera, could be a valid camera for some productions.
Pretty exciting and something to look forward to.
