    Anafi For Sale, Camera Will Not Zoom, Flies Great ....$325

    I crashed this drone awhile back, swapped out the broken right rear leg with a fresh one from eBay. At first the drone did not power up, I went back in and pulled and reconnected the two main cables to the main board. The drone flies great now, camera works except it will not zoom, I expect...

    Whatever else, land by 10%

    Sounds familiar, mine crashed and broke a leg at 5% battery, not far from me, I was trying to get "one more" still shot. I am very fortunate, as a few months earlier I was flying at Red Rocks NV and failed to confirm the GPS lock when launching, the only time Anafi failed to auto RTH. Well I...

    Anafi will not fire up after crash/repair

    Withdrawn from Classifieds. Went back in one more time after watching the rear video a third time.Decided to disconnect and reconnect the two main cable to the motherboard. She flies just fine now :)

    Anafi for repair or parts...Is Now Fixed

    REMOVED FROM SALE. I opened up one more time. The two large cable connections to the main board looked OK, however I removed and reconnected them. The larger cable was definitely firmly connected, I could feel all the connections pop loose as I peeled it off, the smaller cable opposite I could...

    Inside the Anafi controller

    I added external antennas and did a write up here: https://parrotpilots.com/threads/how-to-mount-external-antennas-on-skycontroller-3-or-how-to-void-the-warranty.1653/ The panel antenna was only about 10% better than the dual band rubber whips for range, at bes and is limited to the 5.8 band...

    Redesigned arms on new FPV and Thermal

    Yes the original legs flex a bunch. But this also helps the bird absorb energy in a crash. It takes less than 30 minutes to swap in a new leg and they are cheap used on eBay or get the whole body with 4 legs from Parrot for a reasonable price and keep or sell what you don't need. I just wonder...

    Anafi for repair or parts...Is Now Fixed

    I am in Oakland, California, but when I state “to your door” that means I am paying the shipping. Sorry for the confusion, good to clarify that for people.

    Anafi for repair or parts...Is Now Fixed

    I crashed this Anafi some months ago. The only sign of damage was to the right rear leg where the posts that the screws imbed were broken off on the opposite half of the arm. I should have tested the flyability of the drone with tape just as a test but did not. Replaced the broken leg with a...

    Anafi will not fire up after crash/repair

    Can not argue with logic.

    Anafi will not fire up after crash/repair

    I was afraid if that...I am wondering if there is a critical connection between battery and brain to start at.

    Anafi will not fire up after crash/repair

    So I crashed my Anafi hard a few months back, from 100' skittering off the side of a structure. The right rear arm was damaged, the plastic posts the screws imbed into were broken off. I should have taped it just to test the drones ability to fly but did not. So yesterday I received a used arm...

    Birds that don't like the Anafi

    No incidents with birds yet, but I had a swarm of bees rise up 75' and engage my Anafi!.

    Anafi battery “discontinued”?

    Well I noticed Best But is selling the Anafi batteries on eBay, they usually do not sell on eBay unless old stock or whatever. I am thinking perhaps the average Anafi owner was satisfie with one or two batteries, or the kit with Anafi and two batteries sold well and this drone did not have a...
