Get USB-C PD (power delivery) that specifically states it will provide 12V at over 2A on multiple outputs simultaneously. I have a 65w Baseus that can charge the controller and 2 batteries in under an hour.

Me too. Recently, a beach front campground I have been going to with my family for most of my life was completely rebuilt. I made identical pre-planned: before and after construction. I thought it was a fun effective use of a flight plan. Sadly, more of my batteries are randomly deciding to land...

Have you looked down into the slot between handheld part of the remote and the antenna hinge? There is a small switch that gets pushed in when the antenna is folded away to turn off the controller. Is yours sticking?

How does it seem to have no geo-fencing? I have sometimes considered a DJI drone but I flinch at the multi-step authorization to get in the air.

Easy, free, no watermark on Google Photos. Here's an example: https://photos.app.goo.gl/VsSjfajLkCh8dYPE9 I just signed up for roundme; thanks it looks useful.

I fear I am too frugal to spend $134. Bestbuy is $99 for an OEM: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/battery-for-parrot-anafi/6269227.p?skuId=6269227 Amazon is $99 for 3rd party: Amazon.com: 2700mAh 7.6V 20.52Wh Lipo Upgrade Battery Drone Replacement Smart Battery for Parrot Anafi, 1 Pack, Dark Grey ...

Start with easy stuff. 1. Re-cal everything including the gimbal. 2. Check the props for damage and that the two different types are in the correct positions. 3. Try this: what is the problem of my anafi's gimbal? For the last, my drone was briefly flying to one side, quick enough to crash. I...

Is your microsdxc card fast enough?

Power is rated in Watts. 12 Volts x 2 Amps is 24Watts which the Anafi will accept and about the maximum it can take. This will charge the Anafi 20.5 Whr battery in about an hour, theoretically about 50 minutes but the current will taper off. A 5V / 5A charger is unusual. Good luck!

I use this: Amazon.com The Anafi will accept USB-C PD at 12V/2.0A and any charger that supports that will charge much more quickly than a usual USB 5V/1.0A. This kind of thing can help check if you are getting the power and current you expect: Amazon.com

The Anafi can loosen it's cables with a relatively small jostle. Not to fear, it's often easy to fix. As a first try, do the easiest. In this video: at 1:12 you can see the removal of a rubbery thing holding down a ribbon connector terminated in a shiny metal piece, visible until it is pried...

Note that the Starter Package does not include a remote. They imagine most people will launch controlling with their phone and then go to tracking mode. Also, watch this video for a range test; it seems quite limited and shorter than the Anafi. That's OK if all you use it for is subject...

I bought the drone and kit from San2C. He was prompt, fair and all the materials arrived exactly as promised. Anyone considering a purchase from or to San2C can fairly expect a good experience.

In stock when I write this but tends to go out quickly. Woot (who is Amazon) 30 day warranty. https://sellout.woot.com/offers/parrot-anafi-drone-extended-open-box-1?ref=w_cnt_lnd_cat_elec_10_20 Still a great drone and the only consumer drone I know of that does a true waypoint mission from the...
