I'm guessing MC reader is a (m)emory (c)ard reader Agustine has offered the best advice I can think of. The thing about card readers is the many many of the ones on the market are in theory USB 2.0 but due to the build quality and layout they are often sub USB 2.0 capable in terms of...

Amazon has kits right now. I'd hop all over that if you think the electronics are good, the bug momentary and you still want to fly it. Good luck.

I had notifications turned on for the listing on Amazon and heard nothing. I happened to check Sunday and chanced across a listing. I somehow managed to order two. Both were delivered today, but considering I started the process in March of this year and it's the end of August, I'm just...

Actually that was my intent as well originally. Then I got sucked in to the videography thing. That necessitated better flying and... you see how it goes. Just before my crash I had decided to go back to my original intent. Well my dslr has been busy.

I love the Anafi as a drone, but if you are in North America (any country) at a minimum, consider Square Trade, but on the whole I would not advise you to get one. The reason there are no prices on parts is that they won't sell them in North America. You have to go through "partners" like...

I'm going to post a separate thread on this but if you are anywhere in North America I suggest you do not buy the Anafi or any Parrot. I had a software induced crash that was handled under warranty after quite the long fashion. I had a second crash that was all my doing but in addition to the...

Ok, thats freaky. On the plus side you have a unique simulation of a POV video as shot by a giant...

I've had very similar issues (see below). I attribute it to two things. The yaw and return of less than 50 degrees is likely gusts. The twisting through 90+ degrees while stationary or descending straight down is probably calibration. I've now made a point of recalibrating the Anafi while...

Um... no. I've modded plenty of things in the past. I used to be an electronics tech. But that mod feels dodgy, the process to install feels dodgy and the inventor...

<Professor Farnsworth Voice>Good news everyone!</ Professor Farnsworth Voice> The calibration worked. I had to do it twice, because it said the calibration failed the first time. But the second time worked great and it was decending and executing RTH's just fine. It even encounter gusts...

Please note I said nothing about Free Flight. You can recreate what I'm talking about with most phones, youtube and a charger in the right range of power. High enough to put the phone into full performance, but not enough to supply full performance from the charger. I manage to do it all the...

I have noticed my android devices do drain faster on the sc3 but to me it seems perfectly obvious why and I think anyone of us can recreate the issue off the sc3. The SC3 is providing enough current to convince you device it's plugged in so all the power saving features of your device shut...

Ok, nearly identical. Reassuring actually. That doesn't explain the issue as it's descending, but I'm more confident about calibrating fixing that. HEY EVERYBODY! Tip of the day. When the Anafi encounters gusts beyond it's stabilization threshold it may slew wildly. Apparently there's a...

Did yours slew like that? I was going to look for your video but yikes 513 messages. You've been busy.

I went auto RTH because while I was already bringing it back, I lost visual on it. I lost it in the gray of the cloud cover above and behind it. But that aside, even if I rarely use it, I need to be able to trust it. Slewing like that is... lets just go with bad.
