What’s wrong with pudding?

So, how are people in North America buying Anafi parts? I broke one of the rear arms on my drone recently. I could not buy parts from Parrot's web site - same problem as described earlier in this thread. I found a seller in Germany on eBay and I was able to get what I need, but the shipping is...

So, I got a can of compressed air and gave it a good blast. Did a few up/down cycles on the gimbal and it didn’t get stuck. Did a test flight and no more jumping in the video. So I think I’ve got it beat. Thanks all for your help on this!

Thanks everyone for the feedback! Hopefully I can get this working properly without taking it all apart.

Yeah good idea, I probably shouldn’t use the 18 gallon compressor in my garage lol

Yes that’s exactly what I am seeing as well. The camera sometimes won’t rotate smoothly when I turn it by hand

Hi all, my camera has been acting strangely lately. It will work fine for a while during a flight, and then it appears to get stuck and cannot move. I think I got some sand or dirt in the gimbal from a small crash landing on the beach a couple of weeks ago. Before I start taking this thing...

Oops, just saw that this was posted in the bebop forum... sorry...

I’m pretty new to the Anafi, but I’ve been using it almost exclusively in follow-me mode so I think I can answer this question. Anafi uses both visual and GPS tracking in follow-me mode. I don’t know for sure, but I believe that the visual tracking is primarily used to keep the subject centred...

Riding my motorcycle around Earp, California.

Well I finally was able to try my Anafi on a motorcycle ride. Overall I’m pretty happy with it, but from time to time there was some glitching or jumping in the video. I edited most of it out, but you can see it at the 2:35 point, and again at 3:46. Anybody have ideas on why this is happening...

Drones are a hot topic in the press right now, so they will take the blame regardless.

That’s pretty good service! Did you order from Arrow or Digikey?

Thanks all for the feedback. I was flying with phone only, no controller. Good idea about forcing a reboot, I will do that next time before I fly. I can’t fault the Anafi at all, it did exactly what it was suppose to do. It does have me a little spooked about the phone however. It’s hard to...

Hi all, about 2 weeks ago I was flying my Anafi when my phone suddenly re-booted while the drone was in the air. The drone detected the loss of signal and initiated a return to home, so I can't really fault the drone. But I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and maybe has some...
