    Anafi Ai Real-World Performance

    The problem with the Anafi AI and USA is that there is not a lot of feedback from the people that use them. Next month I am teaching a public safety drone course and the group I am teaching uses a Parrot Anafi USA. So I will get a ton of hands-on use with the drone. For the Anafi AI, points I...

    Parrot Anafi Thermal Drone For Sale

    The largest problem with the Anafi USA for solar is it being nonradiometric. Some solar use cases need a radiometric solution.

    Parrot Anafi Thermal Drone For Sale

    chugacrich, I would highly recommend using a thermal drone with 640 resolution. It is the current "high def" for uas thermals (There is now 1024 for the DJI H20T gimbal and some other high priced items). The Anafi USA is 320 and the Anafi Thermal is only 160 and more of a novelty than a true...

    short flight

    Thanks for sharing. The Anafi is a fun little drone with some great features. Its time was too short in my opinion.

    Holy Stone or other fully external Remote ID module on Parrot Anafi?

    I am in Public Safety and I am our city's sUAS coordinator. Here is what I have seen firsthand along with some other items from research. There are various companies offering their own drone tracking solutions. These usually have DJI Aeroscope for DJI drones along with an expensive RF solution...

    Holy Stone or other fully external Remote ID module on Parrot Anafi?

    I also went with the Holy Stone module. I have them on 3 drones now and I am happy with them.

    Adding Remote ID to Parrot Anafi 4k

    Hydro has posted a similar post weeks ago that again misses the point. DRI does meet the intentions of Remote ID. If you follow what he says you will most likely be okay since people will see that your Anafi is broadcasting. The point that he does not get is that this site and its sister sites...

    Anyone using their Anafi for Inspections?

    The largest hurdle to inspecting anything is knowing about the item/component being inspected. While images are nice, images in a cohesive report are better. To compile a cohesive report one would need to know all about the item/component being inspected to include any deficeincies. It is...

    Remote ID thought

    This forum and its brother and sister forums always strive to give accurate information. When you tell people that DRI is compliant with the FAA Remote ID FARs, you are telling them something that is not true. People come to these forums and ask questions, and these forums self-police themselves...

    Remote ID - RID vs. DRI

    The Holy Stone RID works with any drone. It has its own internal battery and you just need to attach it to any drone.

    Are there any of us left?

    The Parrot Anafi, Anafi FPV and Anafi Thermal do not meet the FAA Remote ID regulations. Even if you are using Parrot's DRI solution, you are NOT in compliance. There is no DOC (Declaration of Compliance) covering the Anafi, Anafi FPV and Anafi Thermal. I am not sure why people are not...

    Parrot Anafi Thermal

    The Anafi Thermal has been End of Life for a couple of years now. There are no new parts from Parrot Available. You may find used parts from a couple of places or find a parts drone listed on eBay. The Anafi USA is one of "the newest" Anafi versions and shares no parts with the Anafi Thermal, so...

    ANAFI USA GOV camera Focus Issue

    I am very sorry for what has happened to you. I am actually disgusted by what Parrot has done to you with their highest priced commercial offering. I used to use Drone Nerds for my vendor, but they did something similar to me when my Anafi Thermal had the not too uncommon "fall from sky"...

    Remote ID thought

    What if DRI was submitted to the FAA as not Standard Remote ID, but alternative Remote ID by someone? Consider the following DRI meets the MOC as proven by it being used by the Anafi AI and Anafi USA If a person submitted an DOC showing that DRI meets the MOC as far as transmitting...

    ANAFI USA GOV camera Focus Issue

    Is that the $14K version? Parrot has left the small business, single operator out to dry for years now. I would purely guess that the camera assembly would be replaced versus repairing it. Dronenerds being the vendor is probably your only hope at resolving this issue as far as a proper repair...
