    Controller problem (SC3)

    Hi Gipsz Jakab, Well at first I wasn't going to do any update, but when I clicked on "FLY NOW" - a message appeared telling me that "In order to maximize your experience, Parrot will update your drone" (not the exact wording, but something to that effect. So I could'nt fly without doing the...

    Controller problem (SC3)

    No joy I'm afraid... I even bought a flashy new USB cable (with a transfer rate of 480 MBPS) and no luck. I connected a USB memory stick to my phone and that works fine. I even installed FREEFLIGHT 6 on my wifes phone, and used the new cable, to be SURE that its not my phone - and the...

    Controller problem (SC3)

    Yeah the switch works fine (turns "ON" when I unplug the battery / open it up) . I have tried using a toothpick / screwdriver to force "DOWN" the button, but it still stays ON. No visible damage on the USB-A connector, used a circuit tester to be sure, all pins are connected as they should be...

    Anafi motor caps by (Sunnylife): Increasing the Anafi Motor temps?

    Hey there, seen a good review on YouTube (in French) of these covers/caps. (By a chap named "cjdaany" or something). They caused the motors to stall out at first. The guy then had to intentionally loosen the blade screws in order for the rotors to turn. Not sure I like the idea of flying...

    Video playback issues

    Leif, thankyou for you Leif, thank you for your reply. Indeed, it would appear that the Anafi is in 4k straight out of the box. In my haste to get it in the air, I did not notice that I was recording in 4k. I have now set the drone to record in HD (1080 x something) and the footage is fluid...

    Video playback issues

    Hello everyone and thanks for reading. I am having playback issues with video from my Anafi. On my PC the imported video is jerky, with artifacts. The video won't even play on my TV : "Video codec not supported" - although I never had any problems with either when reviewing footage taken with...
