Weight 500g Understandably, there are some concerns about crashing drones and their durability, so Parrot has addressed these by creating its most robust drone to date – Bebop 2. It’s modular, so individual parts can be replaced, has a flexible central body, and the propellers automatically shutdown in a collision. The drone is fairly light but can still fly in almost all conditions. On top of this, the 14mp camera has a fisheye lens, and stabilisation software removes the need for a gimbal. On the downside, Parrot has locked away some of its interesting features behind a paywall, which means you need to shell out a bit more if you want to use these.
