I have a couple of Anafi. The camera is so delicate. I went ahead and I bought a gimbal protector. Plus I use the original case within another case that I bought on Ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/363552691778?hash=item54a56dd642:g:zfwAAOSw4qNhTCHl $500 for repairs is highway robbery. Sell...

There is a youtuber Solaris8x86, he is in Hong Kong and is a guru in that area. I’ve watched some of his Bebop 2 videos and his approach is meticulous and quite groundbreaking. Heck he should be working for Parrot as product development VP or something. As usual, thise are electrical parts...

the host of the wedding need to be aware of the drone plans and possible noise associated with this technology. I assume it is an outdoor celebration and dont think that drone noise will be a major issue. Depending on the distance. The zoom of this bird is quite good. Could you borrow a...

I was lucky this year. Amex Platinum gave us two electronic Best Buy vouchers of $50.00 each As you can imagine, each battery cost me around $50.00 USD tax included.

I have been in the IT SWE business for way too long to know: Just because a new OS is out doesnt mean that everything will work fine. A new App Update will follow that same mantra. I dont use my mobile. Instead I use a slightly older Ipad mini which tolerates longer updates. Moral of the story...

These “too good to be true” websites are a scam and Paypal participates in the abuse. Unlike credit cards, paypal opts for arbitration, the sellers replies with a 70% or 80% refund but refuses to reverse all charges. Sometimes they send just crappy items. if it seems too good…. To buy at a...

Yeah most of the “intelligent” batteries are now in that -hood. They have cut off the non-OEM sellers. DJI are close to 120 for the Air2s, the mini2 are ~79.00 Bebops 2 can be bought for 40.00. This is becoming an expensive hobby.

Ebay (US) has a lot of sellers who keep parrot parts. Tech-Rabbit sells refurbished units. Woot sells Tech-Rabbit at a discount every couple of months. Parrot moved to the Government suppler and high price Thermal units. Support for regular folks is not as good as DJI extended. But an Anafi...

Most of the problems seem to occur when a sudden drop in voltage is experienced. That is a virtual killer. We experience this effect during a storm when lights flicker but the TV or desktop pc restart. The drone , in this case, just falls off the sky. Low voltage is predictable and could be...

It is supposed to be an “intelligent” battery. Is there a specific Anafi compatible charger out there that shows the true cell voltage and resistance? I have the EV-Peak for my Parrots 1 and 2 , Yuneec. But havent found one for my Anafi.

US military drones are hackable and have been brought down. Having said that, then no, no drones is infallible. All of them can be hacked by those who know how to do it. What are the chances of you encountering an evil doer. Very very small. But there is always the possibility of some idiot...

Sorry but your friend is not correct. you can fly close , and that is no problem. However, in the case of the OP , who thought that he had hit the lines, an invisible magnetic field affects the electronics of the drones. The fact that the drone fell a few seconds later indicated that...

The milspecs (military specs ) should include hardened electronics that are resistant to electronic tampering , microwave bursts , or emp signals. And a hardened comm protocol.. DJI has a better implementation protocol than regular WiFi, called Occusync 3.0 for us the average consumers...

I have the SC1 and 2 and am planning to sell SC1. Just get a good one that is dedicated to the drone. (No other apps ). You can buy used ones that are compatible but a couple of years old. I have an ipad Mini v2 that works like a charm. And I believe I paid close to 100 dollars for it. The...

Tech-Rabbit on Ebay sells excellent certified / refurbished Anafis for a fraction of the price. 349-399.00 USD 90 warranty. Or you can buy a Drone warranty separately.
