    unable to update skycontroller 3

    Wow, that's a first! Transferring from a usb stick/thumb drive...Parrot support is really reaching with that suggestion. Ask them to forward the file to you. . .then again, nevermind-it'd most likely be malicious!

    unable to update skycontroller 3

    What I had to do is: 1: Delete FF6 from my device (ios) 2: Update IOS to current 3: Re-install FF6 4: Update SC3 & Anafi as FF6 commands Finis. I believe it's a 'Which came first' scenario, whereas a device os update goes public that prompts app designers (Parrot) to follow suit. If you try to...

    [ANAFI] Going crazy after a crash

    It seems like wifi signal from Skycontroller3 was poor. Was controller fully charged? Any blinking lights at takeoff? As for repairs, first inspect all propellers for hairline cracks or scuffed edges & replace broken with GENUINE Anafi propellers. Next, inspect the entire Anafi for...

    Anafi Battery Manufacturing Date

    Hmmm...Following this scheme, my herd are: 2 from Nov. '18; 1 from Sept. '19. The latest batteries I bought appear to be the oldest (the '19 vintage came with the drone). If all this holds true it provides information on how to weed out aged stock when shopping for replacements. Cat's out of the...

    Anafi gimbal shuddering during calibration

    From 6months ago I think he's probably moved on. . .

    Return to home software mistake discovered.

    So...Flight Plan over-rides Auto RTH? Hmmm... that's scary. I agree that most loss & damage events are pilot error due to poor judgements, lackluster pre-flight checking, etc. (I'm guilty of this as well). The smart-battery technology isn't as fail-safe as you'd like to think. It merely tries to...

    Return to home software mistake discovered.

    Thanks DiscoBeb - 13 months late, but Thank You. Frankly I haven't used RTH yet for I don't trust it (I'm still a very green pilot). I've learned quite a bit from your testimonies thou, and want to study the topic/manual further (RTH button cancels the task as easily as it initiates it??) Bad...

    Shakes

    Certainly doesn't hurt to keep those props clean! Glad things have improved for you. Just, erm...keep the weed-whacking to a minimum lol! Happy Hovering.

    Shakes

    They can be hard to detect unless you use a strong backlight (a sunny window works well). One small knick will induce instability at a given rotational speed too. And if you replace any blades, insist on using genuine Parrot props - aftermarket props could possibly worsen the effect especially...

    Skycontroller 3 update error

    I suspect the phone's operating system version. I faced the same dilema until my OS was updated. Your alternate phone/device had a compatible OS version which in turn 'woke up' your SC3 & let its' update complete. Now that it's stable don't ever update it again until it's absolutely needed. My...

    Anafi Battery outer shell opened - pics

    That's good news, sibujacob. However my battery won't so much as acknowledge a usb charging cable being plugged in...no led activity, no power switch function, no voltage at the battery's primary contacts, etc. The bare cells seem fine, showing 7.5volts in series. The logics board within the...

    Smart Dronies is grey

    Not to mention that some smart dronies must be purchased. Until you submit payment ($0.99 each) they will not function. Which smart dronies aren't working??

    Anafi Battery outer shell opened - pics

    Thanks sibujacob & Happy '22! I found my battery not accepting on/off or charging status, so I peeled mine open too. Do you have any advice on how to remove the usb/led boarrd from the lid? The ribbon cable seems well attached however the on/off button doesn't so much as pull up charge status...

    Random yaw in light wind...?

    Do you typically use Smart Dronies, POI tracking, etc? Wind currents at higher elevations are of course much different than what we're experiencing on the ground. Can't assume 'There's no wind...what gives?'. Yes, the Anafi is very light, so it will most likely have to 'fight the elements'...

    Which Anafi case do you use/prefer?

    Didn't realize they made a hard case for the SC3...gotta research that one! Thx!
