You are legit a life saver. I got the bebop 2 for Xmas and I thought it was broke. I spent 3 days trying to figure it out but the controller would never connect. But thanks to you, I can now fly my drone and get some footage. Thank you so much.
@@user-sr8pn9xg8zhi sir I keep getting message on the app saying synchronization failed And the app doesn't open. What am I doing wrong. Help me please Am I using wrong APK or what?
Hi Nick. Thanks for the question. I haven't flown my Bebop for over a year and my memory is poor anyhow. But I recall having something like that also. I think I probably didn't pursue it as far as I can recall. Thanks for your question and God bless.
Thank you Mr Kent. After watching your video, I discovered something. You brought up some good points on ways to connect. But i noticed that all you have to do like you said earlier to connect tablet or cell phone to controller, controller should be off the tablet should be on, the drone off, all you do is two steps , turn drone on first and after the red light on the back of the drone stop blinking then turn on the remote, the freeflightpro opens up automatically, you dont even need to connect via wifi and you dont have to activate airplane mode i saw in other videos people were saying. i will make a video to show the people how easy it should come up with no problem. Thanks for your help Mr Kent. Thumbs up for your great video!!!
Probably, the reason the image is freezing is because of a lack of memory in your Tables. I always reboot my tablet before flying. That may help. Thanks for your input and God bless.
I was given a Bebop Pro Thermal & all i get is a blue flashing light(slowly i believe). I have read that may be a lose GPS cable?? Just guessing. I got Sky Controller 2 connect to FFP but no Drone on wifi bcus i believe its just stuck in boot up mode?
Hi, im struggling to find full range of 2km even though i use the SC2 with airplane mode. In your video1:50, there should be USB icon should be appear next to the SC2 icon. But in my screen it shows the left over battery sign e.g. 48% rather than USB icon. Is this why i dont get full 2km range and have only 150m range since it recognize as im using the phone as the controller? Thank you sir
Yep, you have figured it out. You will get a lot more range using the controller. I'm sorry to hear that but that's how it is. Thanks for your comment and God bless.
Mr Kent. I have a Bebop 1. Jst bought a Skycontroller 2 (black). Never een able to connect the controller to my A71 Samsung phone. It connect at 60% and stopped. The light on the controller flashing red. Am I missing something?
Wow Martin, it has been a few years since I made that video. I really don't have any answers for the Bebop drones anymore. And I don't know where to send you. They stopped supporting the bebops a long time ago also. I'm hoping you find a solution. God bless you.
Hey Mr Kent. Thank you for your fast reply. I've just replace the USB cable by a better one. It immediately did an update and everything's working now: Controller, goggles... Whao! What a drone for the price. Thank you!
I just got my Bebop-2 for Christmas 2017. Learning about drone flying "from-scratch"! ( A real Nu-Be. As in.... "I know nothing!) I bought a Galaxy Tab-2 and learning about drone flying with that. This video suggests it's possible to use the Parrot Skycontroller 2. Do you know if the Skycontroller 2 will work with my Galaxy Tab 2 Ipad? ( Android 6.0 Marshmallow ) I do hope you can help me traverse this drone hobby, as I really need some basics.
Hi Larry. Yes you should have no trouble. It is a good idea to reboot your tablet before you begin. Connect the tablet to the skycontroller using the USB cable. Turn on the drone and wait about 30 seconds. Turn on the skycontroller and it will request the tablet to open the app. Click the "OK" square and the FreeFlight Pro will open up. Tab the little arrow in the lower-right corner of the opening screen and you will be in the screen you need to fly with. Then press the "Take off/Land" button on the skycontroller and you are off. When you are finished flying bring it back and settle down to about two or three feet from the ground and press the "take off/land" button again. That's it! If you have any questions along the way don't hesitate to ask. I can't always get right back but will try my best. God bless.
Hello Mr Kent. Any idea why I get the green GPS indicator showing from the quad but not from the SC2 even after leaving it on for 20 minutes? The Bebop seems to fly and land fine but I assume it may not allow the quad to RTH properly? I've been hesitant to push RTH.
Hello and thank you for your question. My question to you first, is, do you have Airplane Mode turned OFF? The skyconroller relies on your tablet or phone to detect its location. If you turn airplane mode ON it prevents your phone from communicating with anything. Therefore it cannot talk to the skycontroller and the skycontroller has no idea of its location. If that is not the issue I am not sure I have an answer. I would like to hear back from you on how this issue is going. Always remember to ask questions and don't hesitate to ask for help. Thanks again and God bless.
Well, I turned airplane mode “on” and left wifi “on” and that corrected the issue. The latest iOS release allows you to leave the wifi on but turns off cellular data probably because some airlines allow wifi now. Thanks for the response.
I left my controller on the back of the truck, drove off and lost it. I bought another controller 2 from EBay and the blinking red light never turns solid green. Why?
Thank you for your question Carl. You need to bind (link) the two together. I haven't flown one for so long I can't recall how to do it. If you have a manual it should tell you there. Make sure your phone is in airplane mode. That may help. God bless.
Awesome! and thanks Mr. Kent! We definitely learn things from each other. I didn't learned yet which way is the better for setting up and ready to go all the stuff and with this video I know now. With Skycontroller 1 things are a little diferent. Skycontroller 1 takes a lot of time to boot.
I guess I got into the Bebop world at just the right time. They were selling the Bebop 2 FPV for $100 less just before last Christmas. I bought mine in November and got in on the good deal. I'm sure there are much better drones than the Bebop but I am 100% satisfied with what I have. "Satisfaction" is always a good thing. Thanks again for your kind words.
Yes. I know a friend with 63 years old who flown aerial models for many years including helis, planes, quadcopters, multirotor drones, etc. and he likes very much Bebop 2. And it is its favorite quad.
Héllo. I have the freeflight 5.1.1 app, What is your freeflight app? I did everything just like your video and it still does not work! Will I have to do a factory reboot?
Paulo, I am sorry to hear you are having troubles. It is not difficult to do a factory reset. You will want to do that following every firmware upgrade. It is not that difficult. But before trying that you may want to reboot your phone or tablet first. I have found that to work several times: ruclips.net/video/kXCPr0DgVbo/видео.html Don't hesitate to as if these suggestions don't help. God bless.
I just recently came back around and got my 3rd all together bebop 1 or 3.0. The flypad was pretty good except for the occasional disconnect leaving one in a potentially bad situation. Since finally getting my paws on the sky controller 2 silver sticks, boy howdy she's a whole new ball game now. Simply night and day usability and confidence. Now all I think I need to do is maybe try to make the wifi signal connection security password, make it secured and hopefully completely can avoid a couple of the rare sinerio's I've heard happen to others. Thanks for your work and sharing your knowledge, these are still really fun and capable quads in 2021.
You are welcome Kevin and thank you very much for your kind words. Yes, I get lots of comments from folks enjoying the Bebop 2 drone. Thanks again and God bless.
I keep getting message on the app saying synchronization failed And the app doesn't open. What am I doing wrong. Help me please Am I using wrong APK or what?
For some reason, my sc2 and bb2 will not connect still. even after the sequence you mentioned. As a matter of fact it seems that after the most recent update my drone will not broadcast its wifi either. I just got the thing weekend before last and Now I am having issues. Both the drone and the controller say that they are up to date in ffp
OK, do a factory reset of the drone. (ruclips.net/video/kXCPr0DgVbo/видео.html). Be sure to reboot your phone or tablet also. Let me know how that works - hoping it does. God bless.
Mr Kent I was watching this video again, cause I'm having bebop2 synchronized failer issue, maybe I forget something. But anyway I noticed that you changed your manually changed your exposure how would you do this on the flight controller that I have?
First question - first answer: I have updated that information. Check the latest and best way to keep from having connection issues: ruclips.net/video/HpH5SPDFYvQ/видео.html Second question - second answer: Helder has the same controller you do. If I were you I would check with him as I am not familiar with that controller. You guys are always sending me stuff while I am in church. Don't stop, it is ok but I just have a hard time trying to answer. So I wait till I get home.
I have been watching Helderhugo's videos and now stumbled upon yours. I know you guys are trying to, but you really are convincing me to buy one. I really like this thing. Before, I saw a lot of videos with terrible video quality from the drone, but Helderhugo's stuff always looks pristine. I may go grab one this week.
Thank you for your comment. Yep, for the price I think the Bebop 2 is the best buy when you take into account customer service and availability of parts, etc. There seems to be no end to the possibilities available when using the flight plan with it. Have fun with your new toy and God bless.
Gadget Inspector Also the best way to get good video is set your quad down some where in different light setting cut every thing and just play the camera settings til you find what you like.
One thing I may have forgotten to mention was that, as the video begins I have already started the drone and it is sitting, waiting to be connected. When I turned on the drone prior to creating the video my tablet was connected to my household wifi. If that is confusing let me know.
mrkentdotcom I have the bebop 1 with the skycontroller, and the problem is when I connect my Android phone to the skycontroller and I press the fly&film button its says "please update drone to show video" but the drone is up to date
Boy, I wish I could help you but I only have the Bebop 2 and Skycontroller 2. The only suggestion I can make is to refer your question to Helder Hugo as he has both and is very good at helping folks. His channel is: ruclips.net/user/Helderhugo Ask him the same question and I am pretty sure he will have an answer for you. I know the two versions of the Skycontroller have some real differences and I am sorry I can't help. Let me know if you ever have any other questions you think I may be able to answer and God bless.
Ive been turning on the Tablet then sky controller 2 then the bebop 2 and so far this has been working every time, I have the Bebop 2 power. not sure if that makes any difference.
I have also had different combinations work at different times but have found that for certain, the above combination works every time. Thanks for your input and God bless.
I think you can if you have some kind of light duty usb hub. It will draw more current from your skycontroller so be careful not run it all the way down so you can't control your Bebop. Please don't take my word for it because I have never tried it. God bless.
Oh my gosh .. thank you so much my friend ... I have only own this drone for a few days and have been pulling my hair out.. Greatly appreciated James Hopkins Calgary 🇨🇦
Thank you for your comment James. You are welcome, and if you ever have questions please don't hesitate to ask. I also have a website with answers: www.mrkent.com/sixtyvideos/index.htm Have fun with your new bird and God bless.
@@user-sr8pn9xg8z Thank you sir ... just went and booked marked it ... also just order the balance cable to charge the bebop 2 battery on my balance charger ty James
I have a bebop 2 with sc2!is it safe to fly the drone with the Wi-Fi on my smartphone off and my airplane mode on with GPS also on???Is there any issue that can occur by doing this?? Thank U!
Airplane mode prevents the phone from communicating with the skycontroller. It may not matter if you are using a Bebop 2 power. But with the Bebop 2 standard the skycontroller relies on the phone's GPS signal to find its location relative to the drone. Thank you for your question and God bless.
Great job really but i am using a smartphone and i always fly in flight mode with wifi on the smartphone on is that right or it should be off?i had many problems the last days losing the connection in the air without any change to controll my drone from smartphone or skycontroller.
But my app is not the same as yours, it's the latest firmware 5.1.1, does it have any influence? because it is very different.! But for now I'll do the factory rebuild. Thank you very much friend for your suggestions. God bless you. Paulo.
Hi Paulo, It doesn't matter which version, the connection sequence is the same. Also, sometimes rebooting your phone/tablet makes things work better. God bless.
@@user-sr8pn9xg8z I made my first flight Friday morning (4th of July). had the park all to myself. was great No crashes. question, on the freeflight app, what is the green "V" or "S" in the left bottom. just curious, again than you. is that the camera mode?
@@MrCM7272 S stands for sport mode. M stands for - - - I can't recall. But when you go to sport mode you have to be careful :) Thanks for your question and God bless.
Good information Kent, this is how I connect... but today it would not connect. I'm going to do more trouble shooting. Having a great experience with bb2 God bless...
ruclips.net/video/QgjFolsXqgw/видео.html I am not sure which Skycontroller you are using, but the above video shows how to connect the two. There is also a link
That video should be helpful then. If following those steps do not work something else may be wrong which I cannot help you with. God bless you in your efforts.
*WORKS, see replies below* This did not help me. I am running Android 9 with Bebop 2 and Skycontroller 2. When I turn the controller "off" FreeFlight will pick up only the Bebop 2, or with the controller "on" FreeFlight will only pick up the controller (and disconnect the Bebop). Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for your input. The video doesn't show it too well but you need to have the controller and your tablet connected with the USB cable, then follow the steps. Could that be the solution? God bless your efforts.
@@user-sr8pn9xg8z Tried again this morning. Did a full reset on drone and cleared data in app. Bascially started fresh. It worked. Once I turned on the drone, started the app, and then hooked up the controller, the app asked me what FPV I was using and proceeded to work. I turned everything off and tried again just to be sure, and it took a few seconds for the app to recognize the controller, but it did and everything is working fine. Thanks for the vid.
What I found is to keep the phone Wifi OFF. Just hook up the Skycontroller to the phone and turn on in order like you said and it works. I also turned the phone Airplane mode ON as others have suggested. Works great.
@@paulbreaux909 Thank you for your feedback Paul. FYI you can also use "Do Not Disturb" if you have that on your phone. Keep on having fun and God bless.
Strange this, I have seen loads of people do it the way you said don't work, ie, turning the controller and app on then the drone, and it works perfectly fine.. But also see people do it how you done it here, I think is device dependent..
Thanks for that comment. I never gave it any thought but you may be right. When I got my Bebop 2 I tried the sequence I have used for years: Turn on the controller, then turn on the flying device so it can "bind" to the controller. That is how all of my rc planes work. But the Bebop 2 would not connect if I did it that way. It kept wanting to bind to my phone's WiFi leaving the controller out of the picture. It could also be dependent on whether the phone is an Android or Apple. Thanks for the input and God bless.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was trying different things but nothing worked. In my particular case, and I also want to write this down if it helps someone else, when I turned the SC2 on, it didn't bring up the FFpro app in my phone (phone, tablet... that's not the matter but if it's Android or something else). However, I could see my phone being charged by the SC2, which was a bit weird. I thought maybe the USB cable was damaged from factory and I was going to get another one. But I found your video first and followed your instructions step by step and it worked like a charm, with the same USB cable. It turns out my phone later asked me (twice, as if I hadn't marked the checkbox so it doesn't ask me about it everytime later on) if I wanted to start the FFpro app whenever I connected the device (the SC2) via the USB cable. I've marked "yes" and the so called "remember this" checkbox. Thank you, indeed thank you.
You are welcome and thank you for your valued comment. Yep, it seems that most of us seem to run into roadblocks with these Bebops and someone on RUclips who has hit the same roadblock puts up an video with the answer :) Merry Christmas and God bless.
Well, thank you for your comment. I'm glad for you. Don't hesitate to ask questions when problems arise. This Bebop community is very friendly and helpful. God bless.
mrkentdotcom your video was very helpful. My family got this drone for me for Xmas , it was a total surprise because I’ve never been interested in drones , and I have no idea why they decided to get this for me. So I’m a noob, and it seemed overwhelming complicated , but I’m slowly figuring it out. And I think I’ll have lots of fun with it. The only question I have now is, can you preview or watch your videos that you recorded on the drone before you transfer them to your smart device?
To connect your app to the Parrot account you have to be in range of your wifi. It is all made through the internet. I hope that is helpful. If not let me know and God bless.
Excellent. Works great! Thanks for taking the time to show a very simple fix to a pain in the butt problem. Bebop should hire you to write their manuals.
Hi great video, also when connecting to the bebop 2 your device should be set to airplane mode i.e your phone or tablet. 👍 i did a video about this, got to love the bebop 2 happy flying

Say i have 2 headsets for fpv can i cpnnect both to the drone at the same time?
I think you can if you have some kind of light duty usb hub. It will draw more current from your skycontroller so be careful not run it all the way down so you can't control your Bebop. Please don't take my word for it because I have never tried it. God bless.
Oh my gosh .. thank you so much my friend ... I have only own this drone for a few days and have been pulling my hair out..
Greatly appreciated

I have a bebop 2 with sc2!is it safe to fly the drone with the Wi-Fi on my smartphone off and my airplane mode on with GPS also on???Is there any issue that can occur by doing this??
Thank U!
It is safe to fly with wifi off and airplane mode off as long as you are using the skycontroller to fly with. Thanks for your question and God bless.
mrkentdotcom thank u v much
mrkentdotcom Wi-Fi off and airplain mode off?I thought that the airplane mode should be on and the GPS
Airplane mode prevents the phone from communicating with the skycontroller. It may not matter if you are using a Bebop 2 power. But with the Bebop 2 standard the skycontroller relies on the phone's GPS signal to find its location relative to the drone. Thank you for your question and God bless.
Great job really but i am using a smartphone and i always fly in flight mode with wifi on the smartphone on is that right or it should be off?i had many problems the last days losing the connection in the air without any change to controll my drone from smartphone or skycontroller.
I wouldn't recommend that. The antenna on your smart phone is not nearly as well tuned to the Bebop as the one on the Skycontroller.
But my app is not the same as yours, it's the latest firmware 5.1.1, does it have any influence? because it is very different.!
But for now I'll do the factory rebuild.
Thank you very much friend for your suggestions.
God bless you.
Paulo.
Hi Paulo, It doesn't matter which version, the connection sequence is the same. Also, sometimes rebooting your phone/tablet makes things work better. God bless.
can i un-plug the cable from the smartpone to the controller?
Yes you can but you will lose all of your data. You can continue to control the drone but I wouldn't suggest doing that. Thanks and God bless.
@@user-sr8pn9xg8z thank you for you kindness Mr. Kent.
@@MrCM7272 You are very welcome. Never hesitate to ask questions and God bless.
@@user-sr8pn9xg8z I made my first flight Friday morning (4th of July). had the park all to myself. was great No crashes. question, on the freeflight app, what is the green "V" or "S" in the left bottom. just curious, again than you. is that the camera mode?
@@MrCM7272 S stands for sport mode. M stands for - - - I can't recall. But when you go to sport mode you have to be careful :) Thanks for your question and God bless.
Good information Kent, this is how I connect... but today it would not connect. I'm going to do more trouble shooting. Having a great experience with bb2 God bless...
I guess I would do a factory reset of the drone next: ruclips.net/video/kXCPr0DgVbo/видео.html
I hope that helps. God bless.
why is my sky controler it have red LED and wont conect to my drone ?
ruclips.net/video/QgjFolsXqgw/видео.html
I am not sure which Skycontroller you are using, but the above video shows how to connect the two. There is also a link
mrkentdotcom i
use skycontroler 2
That video should be helpful then. If following those steps do not work something else may be wrong which I cannot help you with. God bless you in your efforts.
I want it conect wirelessy
I don't understand your question. Sorry and God bless.
I am using skycontroller on another bebop 2 but it is not connecting pls help
It is called "binding." It can only be bound to one unit at a time. Don't hesitate to ask more questions and God bless.
I once had another parrot bebop but now I got another and returned other
Thank you Mr Kent I"m in 10% cheers
Thank you Gordon for your comment and God bless.
Many thanks Mr kent works fine .
Thank you for your comment and God bless.
*WORKS, see replies below* This did not help me. I am running Android 9 with Bebop 2 and Skycontroller 2. When I turn the controller "off" FreeFlight will pick up only the Bebop 2, or with the controller "on" FreeFlight will only pick up the controller (and disconnect the Bebop). Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for your input. The video doesn't show it too well but you need to have the controller and your tablet connected with the USB cable, then follow the steps. Could that be the solution? God bless your efforts.
@@user-sr8pn9xg8z Tried again this morning. Did a full reset on drone and cleared data in app. Bascially started fresh. It worked. Once I turned on the drone, started the app, and then hooked up the controller, the app asked me what FPV I was using and proceeded to work. I turned everything off and tried again just to be sure, and it took a few seconds for the app to recognize the controller, but it did and everything is working fine. Thanks for the vid.
@@paulbreaux909 Very good news. Thanks for your input and patience. God bless.
What I found is to keep the phone Wifi OFF. Just hook up the Skycontroller to the phone and turn on in order like you said and it works. I also turned the phone Airplane mode ON as others have suggested. Works great.
@@paulbreaux909 Thank you for your feedback Paul. FYI you can also use "Do Not Disturb" if you have that on your phone. Keep on having fun and God bless.
Strange this, I have seen loads of people do it the way you said don't work, ie, turning the controller and app on then the drone, and it works perfectly fine.. But also see people do it how you done it here, I think is device dependent..
Thanks for that comment. I never gave it any thought but you may be right. When I got my Bebop 2 I tried the sequence I have used for years: Turn on the controller, then turn on the flying device so it can "bind" to the controller. That is how all of my rc planes work. But the Bebop 2 would not connect if I did it that way. It kept wanting to bind to my phone's WiFi leaving the controller out of the picture. It could also be dependent on whether the phone is an Android or Apple. Thanks for the input and God bless.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was trying different things but nothing worked. In my particular case, and I also want to write this down if it helps someone else, when I turned the SC2 on, it didn't bring up the FFpro app in my phone (phone, tablet... that's not the matter but if it's Android or something else). However, I could see my phone being charged by the SC2, which was a bit weird. I thought maybe the USB cable was damaged from factory and I was going to get another one.
But I found your video first and followed your instructions step by step and it worked like a charm, with the same USB cable. It turns out my phone later asked me (twice, as if I hadn't marked the checkbox so it doesn't ask me about it everytime later on) if I wanted to start the FFpro app whenever I connected the device (the SC2) via the USB cable. I've marked "yes" and the so called "remember this" checkbox.
Thank you, indeed thank you.
You are welcome and thank you for your valued comment. Yep, it seems that most of us seem to run into roadblocks with these Bebops and someone on RUclips who has hit the same roadblock puts up an video with the answer :) Merry Christmas and God bless.
Thank you sir! I was about the throw this drone threw the wall!!!
You earned a 👍🏻and a new sub.
My drone works now!!!!!
Well, thank you for your comment. I'm glad for you. Don't hesitate to ask questions when problems arise. This Bebop community is very friendly and helpful. God bless.
mrkentdotcom your video was very helpful. My family got this drone for me for Xmas , it was a total surprise because I’ve never been interested in drones , and I have no idea why they decided to get this for me. So I’m a noob, and it seemed overwhelming complicated , but I’m slowly figuring it out. And I think I’ll have lots of fun with it.
The only question I have now is, can you preview or watch your videos that you recorded on the drone before you transfer them to your smart device?
Fantastic video a great help.
Thank you for your kind words and God bless.
i cant connect my account to my app
Are you trying to sign up with My.Parrot?
I can access the account on the computer but not through the app
To connect your app to the Parrot account you have to be in range of your wifi. It is all made through the internet. I hope that is helpful. If not let me know and God bless.
I will try it thank you
Excellent. Works great! Thanks for taking the time to show a very simple fix to a pain in the butt problem. Bebop should hire you to write their manuals.
Thank you for your kind words and God bless.
Great video. Well done. .thanks.
Thanks for your kind words and God bless.

Thank you for your comment. I assume you got it working . . . God bless.
Thank you it worked just right
Thank you for your comment and God bless.
Hi great video, also when connecting to the bebop 2 your device should be set to airplane mode i.e your phone or tablet. 👍 i did a video about this, got to love the bebop 2 happy flying
Thank you for your comment. Yes, I think I watched your video. God bless.
Historical Magpie this is the only thing that worked thanks
