    FPV conversion?

    This is a cheap way ($15) in this video. He has another video BEFORE Parrot released an earlier update in which you modify the unit (to make it like the Skyglasses 3) but it is now moot since Parrot's update which places a "FPV" module in the FreeFlight menu where you can choose configs for a...

    Anafi FPV

    The responders above have it right! Anafi recently included their FPV mode. Use "Cockpit Glasses 2" and the "second button" is controlled in the software by the joysticks. Great solution on Parrot's part.

    Tablet Connection

    Great responses, folks. I hadn't been back out since that occurred but I'm sure going to try your suggestions out!

    Push notification alert

    Chrome Version 81.0.4044.122 Latest, greatest I believe. I just noticed some cookies I don't have trouble with have an asterisk prefix so I just added one to *parrotpilots.com. Let's see if that works. Thanks.

    Tablet Connection

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab E Tablet which is compatible with Anafi. The unit was originally obtained for our business phone (with its own phone number and sim), but we have switched providers, thus I have removed the sim card. It is fully operational with wifi, downloading updates, etc., other...

    Push notification alert

    Mild Annoyance Only: Every time I open the forum, I get the offer to "Enable Push Notifications". I have accepted a number of times. I do get the "Popular Topics" email every so often. I've enabled and disabled and even made sure to save Parrot cookies but it still pops up every "fresh" opening...

    Parrot disco Bepob 2 cockpit goggles

    I also own a Bebop 2 and and have searched for years for a lighter, trimmer version. It's like strapping a shoe box on your head! I even contemplated buying a Mambo FPV just to get the Cockpit Glasses 2! Instead, I stumbled on a $600 deal @ Best Buy for the Extended package which had been...

    New firmware update Anafi 1.6.7

    6.6.6, huh? What a Revelation, pun intended!

    Anyone got a Mavic Mini as well for a comparison

    My maiden Anafi flights over a weekend ranged well above freezing to just at freezing with breezy conditions around 20 mph gusts. She did fairly well. This past weekend in 20 mph with 30 mph gusts, not so well. Consistently canted but did hold position fine. But pressing forward into the breeze...

    Skycontroller 3 Tablet Mounts

    I have been using products (3-D printer generated) by Dirty J Designs. He offers smartphone and two tablet designs with options for a tether add on which simply slides on to your controller "neck" when opened. No screws and no marring your control surface. I have a Galaxy s9+ with Otterbox...

    Anyone got a Mavic Mini as well for a comparison

    Well said, nonetheless!

    Hello, new Anafi pilot

    My pronunciation, too.

    Parrot file output naming convention

    This is a technique I use implementing a "personal use only" free program called "Bulk Rename Utility" for any type of bulk files. Quite a few available methods for customizing whatever pattern, renumbering, replacing/inserting by position, prefixes, suffixes, etc., whatever combination you...

    Hello, new Anafi pilot

    Very pleased with my maiden Anafi flight! The weather in South La. had been miserably damp on days I could get out during my Christmas to New Year work shut down so I took her out on my annual trip to Falls Creek Falls, TN pre-MLK Day Thu-Mon with only two days clear enough to fly. Fri was...

    ANAFI FPV

    I contacted them for the same reason: NO! They only want to sell "packages" and repair parts. However, Viotek Spectre ($15.00) goggles are VIRTUALLY the same and are modifiable. But you will need two of them. You will need two capacitive buttons--one on top and one on bottom to access the...
