The Bebop 2 captures excellent-quality 1080P video at 24, 25 or 30 frames per second (fps), or still images at 13 megapixels. We weren't able to test this mode fully, but we did find that the drone did a good job of tracking some vertical moves of the controller. The idea is that it can track you as you climb up a cliff, following your progress. This mode also has an unusual feature called climb mode, where the drone will track the subject and also keep level with it vertically.

I found this mode worked fairly well with distinct objects like a walking or running person, but it was unable to track my dog as he ran around. The Parrot Bebop 2 also offers a new mode called Follow Me, where you tap on an object in the camera view, and the drone tries to follow the object as it moves, either panning and tilting to keep it in view or following the object at the same distance. Again, this is simple to use: you just pick the points, the height and orientation of the drone and the speed, and it creates the flight plan and controls the drone when you hit go.

For more control, you need to lay out $20 for the pro version of FlightPlan, which adds the ability to create custom flight plans from GPS points. These work pretty well, but you don't get much control over the specific details. When flying in video mode, the Bebop 2 offers a selection of preprogrammed video shots, such as a Reveal, where the drone flies toward the target, slowly panning the camera up to reveal the target. We measured the highest speed it could manage at just under 30 mph horizontally and about 5 mph vertically. Switch to sport mode, though, and the Bebop 2 turns into a speed machine, zipping and turning significantly faster. In the video mode, the drone focuses on smooth, level flight, responding slowly to the controls and turning or moving at moderate speed. The Bebop 2 has two flight modes: video and sport. The control sticks fall naturally under the thumbs, and the shoulder buttons and dials fall naturally under the index finger. The Skycontroller 2 is easy to use, although its small grips mean you have to keep a tight hold, and the big antenna and position of the smartphone makes it a little unbalanced.
