Yep, I'm pretty much of the same mindset with Parrot now. Really was impressed with the Anafi when it first came out but over time it has demonstrated more glitches every time an update was applied. I will still attempt to fix mine after this latest incident but IF I get it up and flying again...

Without actually being there to see the conditions you were flying in, it's hard to say the exact cause for you. In my case, I know what the wind conditions were and wind was not the issue. For my bird it was clearly a firmware/software issue. Something I have noticed over time is that my...

Yep, this latest release is garbage. Updated my Anafi and took it for a short test flight. Initially all was well when I noticed that right at 400AGL the bird started doing some weird yaw issues. No prob, descend and should clear up-right? Nope, immediately lose connection (even though I had...

Yep, don't fly under 10%. I wrecked my first Anafi pushing the battery too far. with about 5% battery left while landing it completely cut out at 100 ft. I now do not let the batteries on my second Anafi get below 20% and usually land with them at about 40%.

Feel free to disagree but I have seen this behavior in two Anafi's now with it even worse now after the latest update. Anafi is a decent bird but there are some real issues with it. More folks are seeing the weird left side jerking and more folks on different reviews are talking about battery...

Like the other poster, I have to disagree. I watched mine do this while landing on its last flight of the day. Altitude was approximately 30 feet up and absolutely no wind at all. (landing on my driveway, in front of my house and also surrounded by pine trees that are 50-80 feet tall.) The more...

Just had it happen the other day while landing. I watched it as it descended and it kept jerking/turning to the left. This was at less than 100 feet high with no wind at all. Now let me add a couple of observations. I have a total of 3 batteries. two of the batteries will give an initial couple...

I have had similar issues with my second Anafi (first one suffered a catatrophic battery failure and crashed) from time to time. At first I thought is was possible crosswinds at altitude but when it does this it is always the same direction no matter where I'm flying. It also disappears as soon...

Unfortunately if I fly at home I will always fly around very tall trees. Key takeaway for me was A) proper battery management, B) Don't fly when exhausted, C) pay attention to RTH at all times. Flying too high on a low battery is asking for trouble no matter where you are at.

So on flight number 61 I crashed my Anafi. I was just practicing with it and had changed batteries for my last flight of the day with it. Anyways, I was coming in for the landing but way too high. My RTH is set for 150 feet because of the tall pines that surround my house. What I hadn't paid...

System works well and is quite quick. I use it all the time now. Even though I am studying for the 107 and plan on getting my license it only makes sense for recreational flyers to use it.

Just a quick intro. Retired military, now work in a ER. Been flying the Anafi for a while now great drone. Between my Harley, making beer, shooting sports, drones and work the retired life is just too busy-LOL.
