Parrot's Bebop

Recently, a well known creator of consumer market, high level drones has released a new drone that is smaller and better. The new drone is name the Bebop, and it sports a higher resolution camera and an upgraded application to control the drone. Users also have the opportunity to buy a physical controller for the drone if they find the application insufficient. The starting price of the drone is 300 dollars, and it comes with a wide variety of sensors that help it make the flying experience a breeze for the user.

I think that consumer grade drones have a great place in the consumer technology market. People have always wanted to tap into the unknown of the skies and see the world from the point of view of a bird. The Bebop gives people the opportunity to do this for a relatively cheap price. I think that drones could also be used for a tool along with capturing great moments in nature. For example, Amazon is developing a mailing system in which they use drones to deliver items that people have gotten on the internet. I think that things like this have a lot of promise as long as people are willing to make changes. Drones cost a lot less to operate than things such as trucks and are more eco-friendly. I also think that it is cool that the drone is using an app interface on your phone for its controls instead of a costly controller. This makes the product more appealing to the average person and is one of the major reasons why the product is relatively successful in its market. I also think that the product is cool because of it sturdiness of build quality. The drone is able to fly even after it has undergone some severe crashes. The drone also comes with a lot of sensors that help to make it easier for the user to operate the drone.

Overall, I think that the Bebop drone is a pretty cool piece of technology that, if improved, could be big in today's consumer market. For me, I think that the price would have to drop a lot before I would even think about buying anything like it, but for some it is the perfect opportunity to explore the skies that they have been dreaming about for all their lives. Hopefully the product is able to improved upon and a bigger market will develop for drones similar to it.
