    Hi Guys

    Got a Parrot Bebob drone and I have to say I am very impressed with it, I have used it with the controller and my phone and have had no difficulty with it, its very stable in wind as I tried it out and the return home function is brilliant, I lost complete sight of it a few days ago so I pressed the return home button and a few minutes later it passed high overhead then slowly descended to where it had took off from.

    Its a pity it has no front strobe light as it would be easier to spot as the back light is very bright, anyone here have one I would be interested to see what you think of it, also where could I get a lightweight strobe for the front of it.

    As a matter of interest I purchased it in Harvey Norman for €500 its on sale in Maplins for €705

    Any reason you opted for that over the DJI Spark?

    I short little video I made with some footage I captured at Ballybunion a few days ago on the Bebop!

    A few quick notes :p

    - This is my first drone and I only have it since Christmas
    - This was a pretty quick edit, nothing too fancy!
    - It was quite windy at the beach, this was my last chance to get the drone up as the days previous were really poor weather, also the reason why I didn't fly too high.
    - And yes, those are my family members in the video! We pretty much had that section of the beach to ourselves!

    Enjoy!
