Q: DJI Inspire 2 Initial Setup

It’s finally here!! Our DJI Inspire 2 drone has finally arrived after much anticipation. I am beyond excited to take this drone out for its very first flight but first things first, we need to get it setup. If you’ve ever setup a DJI drone before you know that there are going to be a few hurdles, hiccups if you will, that you must go through before you can take it out and fly. And you’ll want to make sure you’ve got it setup properly, this is an awfully expensive piece of equipment that you don’t want to crash and fall on its first outing. In the video below, you can watch and follow along with the initial setup of the DJI Inspire 2 drone. If you’re looking to get an Inspire 2, there’s a link to Amazon below to where you can find the current pricing. https://youtu.be/vhqhLYtyg_Y Get the Inspire 2 on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2jIMYIT

Q: Review: Parrot Bebop 2 Drone

The first time I saw a Parrot Drone was at CES in 2012 . They had this giant arena with drones flying in sequence, it was pretty cool. Fast forward years later and here I am flying one of their most advanced Drones available. What surprised me about the Parrot Bebop 2 is its size. It's tiny, which means you can take it anywhere. I opted to get it with the sky controller, which gives you dual sticks to fly it with. However, if you need to travel light, you can fly it with a phone or tablet. https://youtu.be/ysM5B9cduJw The Parrot Bebop 2 not being the first drone I had flown, I had high hopes for it. Parrot has been in the drone game for a bit longer than most companies, so I was looking forward to a polished experience. When I took to the air, I was surprised at how easy it was. The process is mostly automated for flying this drone. Of course, you can take control of it yourself, but it does a good job of helping you stay level and out of trouble. New software updates announced at CES this year in 2017 unlock additional features to make your Bebop 2, even more fun to fly. Check out our video review of the drone to see our opinion of it and watch some actual flight time in the air. It's a fantastic starter drone for anybody looking to start flying and it has the features to keep you interested even after your skills and needs advance a bit.
