Description

The new remote control app for Parrot's breathtaking drone: the Bebop drone. To connect, please turn on the Bebop and connect to the wifi network of the Bebop drone and launch the app.

Now compatible with Bebop 1, Bebop 2 and the Sky Controller.


Key features:

Setting profiles - comes with four different settings profiles for indoor, outdoor, video recording and acrobatics. But you can add as many settings / user profiles as you want. You can even share setting profiles with your friends or your own devices via Air Drop and Email.

Flight Timer - the timer shows exactly how long you are flying.

Drag to flip button - you can drag the flip button in the direction you want to flip. For example if you drag the button toward you it will do a back flip, if you drag the button to the left it will do a left flip. When you are used to this you are able to do flips in any direction without looking at the display.

Flight log: access your flight data, charts and stats. Plot your flight path on the map, export data for video editing software and share your flights with other users of Bebop Control via Air Drop and email.

Quick tilt button. You can cycle through predefined camera positions.

Choose between different crosshair designs and scales.

Shows wifi signal strength. Setup your own wifi warnings.

Last known position tool. This could be handy if you have to search your Bebop Drone one day in case of an emergency landing or crash - hopefully you will never need it.

MFI gamepad support - control your Bebop Drone with any MFI gamepad that has two additional joysticks like the Stratus Steel, Moga Ace Power or the Mad Catz CTRLi. You can assign every button to every available function in the settings.

Offline Mode - explore the app without being connected to your drone.

Configurable user interface - you can show/hide every button, you can even hide the emergency button if you like.

Supports imperial and metric units. feet, meters, feet per second, meters per second.

Choose between different control modes. For example RC Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3 and Mode 4.

Everything is stored on your device. We do not collect or transmit any data.

New settings menu: stream settings. You can minimize latency or maximize reliability from here. There is now also an option to turn off video streaming completely. Added the ability to change the aspect of the video stream.

New video recording options: video stabilization for roll, nick, both or no stabilization at all. 24,25,30 FPS, video resolution in 720p and 1080p. Please note that, recording in 1080p will reduce the streaming quality to 480p.

Fixed a problem with the generation of the location string for the flight log.

Very big thank you to my friend KM Tang in Hongkong for so many suggestions, improvements, flames and comments.
