It can easily be activated in the app or on the Skycontroller, and the quadcopter will return directly to its starting position when the altitude is greater than 10 meters (32 feet). Should you panic, the Return Home feature is your main safety net with the Bebop. Also, the build quality on my test Skycontroller was a bit iffy given its price, and the thing is really big compared to transmitters for other models. There are, however, many options in the vicinity of the $1,000 mark, such as the DJI Phantom 3 Advanced or for GoPro owners, 3DR's Solo - or any number of other, lesser-known quadcopters. Regardless, if you want physical controls as well as increased wireless range, the Skycontroller gives you those things, along with a place to mount a phone or tablet. Speaking of battery life, the Skycontroller uses the same pack as the Bebop, and when you buy the bundle you get a total of three batteries. Keep in mind, too, that while you might be able to fly out that far, with the Bebop's brief battery life, someone better be waiting at the other end. Unless you're in an area free of wireless interference and obstructions, this is more of a theoretical distance (for both, actually) and nothing you should actually attempt. On top of the Skycontroller is an amplified Wi-Fi radio and four antennas allowing you to fly farther - up to 1.4 miles (2.3km) - than you can using a mobile device alone, which is up to 820 feet (250 meters).
