    Should I buy an Anafi Thermal?

    I bought one. One of the reasons I took the chance was because I've had the regular one for almost two years now and other than a battery wearing out, it's been a pleasure. The front right leg, on the thermal, vibrates abnormally and does it transiently, like it has a bi-stable vibration...

    Should I buy an Anafi Thermal?

    I've had a regular Anafi for almost two years now and other than it breaking an arm when a battery I considered suspect got to 30% and it dropped out of the sky, I've been pretty happy with it. I was able to fix it enough with super glue, to get night pictures of a shotgun event in the woods...

    360...I'm obviously missing something

    That was it! I should have thought of that. Thank you all for the help!

    360...I'm obviously missing something

    No, it didn't propose anything. I was afraid it might be the phone...

    360...I'm obviously missing something

    I shoot the 360, download the pictures to Freeflight, select them, hit create, wait for the circle to close, then screen just closes back to the gallery. What am I missing?

    Precise Home....does it work?

    ...and yes, mine does. My drone came down from about 250 feet after a few minutes of filming and looked like it was going to hit the car next to the takeoff point. At about 15 feet, it corrected about 6 feet back to the takeoff point and landed about 12 inches off...right before I...

    Anafi free photo software alternative to lightroom

    Keep an eye out for "Humble Bundles". Humble Monthly I got Vegas (video software) and most recently, 6 photo programs, including Corel Paintshop Pro and a fantastic HDR program, for not a lot of money (25$). They usually have last year's versions (but some update to the latest) for a...

    Images with the Anafi

    I took a few HDR photos a few mornings ago. The little thing does pretty good.

    I am giving up unless ..

    I didn't mean to insult you. "Fall out of the sky" has a cause...either loss of power or hitting something like a bird or tree. Loss of control can lead to hitting something which results in the same. Loss of power is usually either an improperly installed battery, a wiring problem, but very...

    I am giving up unless ..

    It sounds like you made up your mind a long time ago. I would be interested in hearing what "fell out of the sky" means. I haven't seen too many of those on here and haven't seen an explanation for any of them, but I haven't looked at the really old stuff. I know if the battery isn't seated...

    First Drone ever, did I make a mistake?

    It really depends on what you expect from it. If you want a perfect drone from a perfect company that hasn't any issues, cancel your order and don't buy a drone from anyone. There are inherent risks with mass production of software and hardware that perform such complex feats. Also be careful...

    Parrot reports North American consumer drone market contraction (down 56%)

    I expect the consumer portion of the market to contract further with the commercial pressure, on the FAA, to give them 0-400 feet for drone deliveries/other similar commercial objectives.

    Been enjoying this little guy but have some issues.

    Thanks for your response. I didn't show the horizon issue because it takes too long to straighten out (up to a minute...too many gigs and boring to watch)...so it would have just shown a level horizon, then a yaw, then a 20degree tilted horizon for a minute or so. I bought it from their...
