IMO, which you've asked for, go with the Anafi. Why? Price. Video modes - The Anafi has some nifty video modes, camera man combined with the upward pan can create some nice reveal shots. Noise - it's a very quiet drone which really does make a difference given that many people seem to hate...

One has to commend Parrot on their customer support, from what I have seen of it.

how often do you compass calibrate?

I tend to agree based upon my initial impression when I flew for the first few times.

recreation use of UAVs will be regulated into oblivion. The new Canadian regulations are way over the top IMO and will do nothing to prevent the deliberate misuse of drones, which can also be said for any of the new regulations across the world. It's amazing the substantial risks that we allow...

rawtherapee is FREE and pretty good and can handle RAW / DNG

welcome. You can adjust all the pitch/roll etc speed in the settings. I have left mine as standard as I find it's well suited to filming when in normal flight mode.

Hang in there. As already mentioned there are issues with all drones. I raised a ticket with Parrot and they are working on the issue: "Thank you for contacting Parrot Customer Support. My name is ***** and I will be assisting you with your case # *****. I understand from your email that...

But the Anafi comes with a USB cable.

Hi Bot1112, yes it's likely to be the recent updates and no you cant reinstall firmware on the Anafi all you can do is reset the settings for the currently installed firmware. You could try reinstalling Free Flight.

To me it looks like a device fault, either software or hardware.

no it won't. The calibration is for the electronic compass. The current issue we are having is a result of firmware / free flight update. I'm not sure what you are getting at, I didn't suggest calibrating would solve anything, it certainly wouldn't have any bearing on the issue of no GPS.

You do not have to calibrate the drone on every flight. You should only calibrate if: you move a significant distance, i.e hundreds of miles, from you last calibration location. the drone exhibits unusual behaviour, drifiting, magnetic warnings etc. after a hard reset (the drone will prompt you...

you don't require an apple product for drone use -period- Who can foresee that a future firmware or Free Flight update won't have issues with iOS? Apple products are over priced and their business practices are anti-consumer.

I wouldn't call a Samsung Galaxy 8 too old or having performance problems.
