    Keeping Anafi batteries ready to fly?

    I'm planning to take some video footage of one of several barges that occasionally comes into our river—about once every two weeks. I'm tracking the barges on an app on my iPhone, and when I see one come into the river, I want to be able to jump in my boat and get into position in order to fly...

    Need a bigger phone?

    I'm currently using an iPhone SE, which works fine as a phone but woefully too small to use with my Anafi drone. I was thinking of buying a used iPhone 6 Plus to use exclusively with the drone. As such I don't need to activate the phone or have a SIM Card? Right? Does anyone see anything wrong...

    No connection on mountain hike?

    It must be something like that. Maybe there was WiFi interference coming from a fish hatchery which very near the trailhead and almost directly below the rocky outcrop where I was trying to launch the drone. I recall that during a brief connection with the drone, I was trying to move the camera...

    Anafi in tree - happy ending!

    "What glue did you use to fix the broken legs? " I bought J-B Kwik epoxy, which comes in two tubes. You mix in equal parts before applying. I bought it at Wal-mart for a few dollars. It seems like a good choice for the Anafi. It even matches the color, which wasn't a concern of mine when I...

    Anafi in tree - happy ending!

    I recently flew my Anafi into the top of a very tall tree. I swear it looked like it was going to clear. It was about 80 feet up, entangled in small branches, but clearly visible. For the next three days, I tried all kinds of tricks to get it down. Bow and arrows, slingshot, fishing line, etc...

    Anafi drops (crashes) when landing sometimes

    I'm a new Anafi owner (actually new to drones). I've been having a blast flying my drone, taking aerial photos and such. On several occasions, usually after a flight, when I bring the Anafi in for a landing, I press the "Land" button and it just suddenly drops to the ground. Why is it doing...
