I bought my first drone ever in August 2018 - a Parrot Anafi. I spent the next 18 months flying happily and getting some great scenes from the Kumamoto area in Japan. Here is a compilation of some scenes from the first 6 months. VIDEO LINK Then problems started to arise. In particular the...

I am normally a tolerant person when it comes to reading posts on the forums I belong to. However, I feel I have to contradict what is being said here about Japan compared to Guatemala. I am cutting and pasting the following information, from a site on world climates, about the climates of...

A lot of interesting thoughts being documented. Thank you all. Just to give some extra detail to one of my "fall from the skies", which resulted in a new drone from Parrot. From my report about the fall. "Wednesday May 6th 11minutes 49sec flight about 7.17 am. Flying for about 4 minutes near a...

Ah! So much for that theory of mine :) Regards Douglas

As far as I am aware, my watch is connecting via Wi-Fi. As I am wearing the watch when I fly the Anafi (and my arms are shorter than 15 metres) that limitation might not come into play. But, I could be wrong about the WiFi connection. (I am imagining that my watch is interfering with my android...

Here is a wild thought that just popped into my head. Could a "smart watch" that normally connects to download data to my android cause some sort of interference? I already had a drop from the sky last year, but this year I have had 2. This year I bought a smart watch in January. When I have...

Thank you all, Additional interesting facts and thoughts. Regards Douglas

Thank you Agustine. Some useful thoughts there. Regards Douglas

Yesterday I watched this, just over 1 year old, video about the Anafi falling from the skies syndrome. What caught my attention was the idea that the problem was mostly an android one. The Video I am starting this thread to hear what others have for thoughts on the reasons for the falling...

Thank you everyone for a heap of useful info. Now we seem to be drifting away from the simple laymans' advice that I was seeking. ;) Regards Douglas

Is the battery software "version" included in the information I can see in ShowAnafiLog? Regards Douglas

Before attempting to get back into the air, I would like to do a check on my batteries to make sure they are all updated to the latest "version". I think they are but I would like to double check. Would the following procedure be correct: 1. Attach battery to be checked to the Anafi. 2. Start...

Hello Agustine, We contacted Parrot Japan today to ask about the guarantee period. The reply was pretty much what I expected. (No luck, like you had!) The3 replacement Anafi assumes the guarantee of the defective Anafi. In other words our receipt from Amazon now becomes the receipt for the...

I'm hoping that too, Joe I'll have to get a lot of practice in. Maybe I'll be back in Scotland for a holiday next year, so I need to practice avoiding clouds of midges! Tata the noo! Douglas

Thank you, Liger I hope I can stay aloft long enough to capture some interesting stuff as soon as the week or so of rain has passed by Regards Douglas
