    Lost Cat

    Could the Anafi thermal pick up the heat signature of a cat from above? Someone next to our neighborhood, in the Nextdoor App, lost their cat and asked if someone with a drone could help find him. I'm afraid a normal drone wouldn't have much of a chance. The cat I saw while flying my drone was...

    The Light House

    Found it. After converting it to a wmv file, one can hide the icons and just view the video.

    The Light House

    Very Nice Video. I'm curious now, can this be made into live wallpaper for the PC? I don't even know if a Windows 10 PC can do live wall papers. Its been forever since I used live wall papers on the android platform.

    Anafi - pre-owned advice?

    Sorry for the late response. I got mine on US e-bay open box bidding, I lucked out and got it when there was not a bidding war. It is like brand new. I haven't checked to see if its still under any type of warranty. It might die tomorrow, but until then, it has been a great experience. I grab it...

    Video editing computer/video card requirements

    When I was shopping for a new video card for my home desktop (i5-4590 CPU @ 3.3GHz 8GB Ram, 64bit win 10) , this web site helped me decide: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2070-vs-Nvidia-GTX-960/4029vs3165 Its.. well.. for a few dollars more I can get this one, then for a few...

    Anafi instantly lands after take off

    One of my drones would take off, then land also. One of the motors was failing. I could tell by turning the shaft and it was "different" then the other 3. Once I replaced the motor, it would fly again. Apparently the software knew that something was wrong.

    Looking at our fountain in Oak Manor, Westfield, In. using the Flight Plan App

    YouTube video starts at an altitude of 300ft with a panoramic view found here: https://kuula.co/post/7qdgN After 360 was done, "play" was pressed in FP Google took this picture when the fountain was turned off, so I had to guess the fountain's placement in the Flight Plan App.

    Can you input a Lat/long to a Flight Plan waypoint?

    I had my first crash with the Anafi using FP. It wasn't damaged, still flies and takes pictures ok. At first I thought it was an accuracy thing, that's why I posted in this thread. I was in an open field with a circular flight plan, the POI was in the center. A row of bushes were left of the...

    Using TeamViewer To Edit Way Points On Your Computer

    Found out how to zoom: HOW TO ZOOM IN & OUT Double left click the mouse on the screen, then drag the mouse up or down. The screen will zoom in and out on the map as if you were pinching.

    FlightPlan went to the first programmed waypoint, then zoomed straight up, past the set altitude

    Thanks, come to think of it, when I went back to the saved route, I did see the 2nd point high. I thought it got changed after the flight, but apparently not. On the second attempt, after I “fixed” waypoint 2, the drone just stayed on waypoint 1 and gave me an “corrupt file” message. One other...

    FlightPlan went to the first programmed waypoint, then zoomed straight up, past the set altitude

    OK. What am I doing wrong? This is not only unacceptable, but dangerous. If altitude settings can not be trusted, it could take a dirt nap right into the fountain or pond

    Greetings From Westfield, Indiana

    Parrot Anafi just came yesterday, so I'm going to experiment on how to take quality videos. When windy, the frame jerks when yawing. Maybe 60 frames at 1080 will help? Noticed that when zoomed, the jerky-ness wasn't so bad, maybe that's a work around, to keep it slightly zoomed. I will put in a...
