Mine updated to v 1.8.0. Any ideas what that has added? My 3 battery's display 99% capacity. They seem to still be working fine after approx 2years ? I always bring the drone home at 60% and never really let the battery drop below 45-50%. Perhaps that's a bit too careful but I have been using...

You would need a 4G sim to be inserted into the drone. When in range the drone operates on wifi and it switches to the 4G connection. This means the only limitation on the drone to be able to fly at distance is the battery life and 4G coverage. It's a novel approach for current drones but one...

Yes this launch Ai is not a FLIR model but the platform may accomodate it in the future. The benefit of the apporach that Parrot takes is they mimic nature. This thing flies and behaves like an insect

It's a commercial drone not a consumer model. The Anafi US Army is around £8,000. I supect this Ai will be in the same region maybe > £5k ?

This is one serious drone. For those that remember the Parrot Disco and the sim hack, the Ai has incorporated that as the main data link between the drone and operator. Basically, this thing can fly as far away as you can imagine and range is only limited by 4G signal (sim card) and the 32min...

All manufacturers now say there is no money in the consumer business anymore and they all head to the commercial and enterpise space now

The military will be for the military I guess. Civilians are the rest of us I imagine. The triple camera set up including the Flir thermal is probably the commercially focussed model. They have a current Anafi Thermal already aimed for that market. They still sell the current anafi in the...

The US government or army can take that stand as they are the clients and customers. That's upto them who they buy from and the reasons why. It's not really for a manufacturer to be making such a statement though. Let alone basing a launch campaign off that. Aside from the irony and bad taste...

The drone is probably going to be very capable but given marketing makes or breaks a product this has played right into DJI's hands. Not sure what Parrot are thinking to launch with such a silly launch campaign. They will be getting a torrent of abuse long before the 30th now. It's tarnished...
