    All four Anafi Smart Battery LEDs blinking red in sync

    Thank you for posting your battery question under my original post from last year August. Apologies to the other community members for not providing an update on my issue. I contacted Parrot in Aug / September last year and while their response time is not impressive, they did do a straight...

    Anafi battery lights stay on...?

    Is /Are the light(s) on solid or blinking? I had the latter issue and even complete draining and then recharging did not solve the problem over a three week period despite several attempts. However, Parrot gave me an exchange. Customer Service was slow (as on a previous occasion) but it was a...

    Found a drone in NAPELS - Italy!

    You could put a sticker with your address and telephone number on it. These fire resistant ones are mandatory in Germany on all drones https://shop.drohnen.de/

    FreeFlight 6 Flight Plan, topography information, altitude data

    Hello, No, it’s not a moot point as you easily loose a signal due to obstacles and distance, even without climbing below your starting point. As I said: that’s why I like Flight Path in general. Your second comment is not as “off piste” as it sounds: as long as you haven’t lost signal, one...

    FreeFlight 6 Flight Plan, topography information, altitude data

    Thank you very much. Google Earth is it! I forgot! I though it needed a desktop computer. Thank you for reminding me that this exists for iOS as well. The second part of your answer sounds simple, but it doesn’t work for me: I’ve tried repeatedly to enter negative altitudes to make the Anafi...

    FreeFlight 6 Flight Plan, topography information, altitude data

    Thank you. I did not know this App and just downloaded the free version from the App store and will experiment with it. The full version doesn't break the bank either, so it might be the way to go. You write this very casually.... maybe I am missing the obvious: How did you edit the...

    Repaired broken front left arm with epoxy/plastic strips

    I contacted Parrot and while they were not particularly fast they reviewed the information I provided, including the image of the Skycontroller data showing that the drone just dropped mid flight at 69% battery level... ....and approved a replacement under warranty. Actually getting the...

    All four Anafi Smart Battery LEDs blinking red in sync

    I unfortunately do not have a meter. I can ask my neighbour (used to build sound systems) whether he has. What reading would raise which suspicions for you?

    FreeFlight 6 Flight Plan, topography information, altitude data

    I have recently discovered the excitement of using FreeFlight 6 Flight Plans: Nothing more nerve wrecking than loosing the connection to your drone and then see it reappear with the footage you wanted on the memory card. However, two things bug me: 1. I don't live in a particularly mountainous...

    All four Anafi Smart Battery LEDs blinking red in sync

    Hello I have been waiting in vain for Parrot to reply to a case I logged with them a week ago: Can somebody explain to me what four red LEDs blinking in sync means on an Anafi smart battery, please. Here's the long version of what happened: I had not been using a fully charged Anafi smart...

    Repaired broken front left arm with epoxy/plastic strips

    Good luck. And I honestly mean it. I did something similar and after an initial feeling of success my Anafi dropped out of the proverbial blue sky a couple of weeks later. Flight data gave no indication whatsoever to the cause of the crash, but I can't rule out that it might have been my DIY...

    "Photo Of The Day"

    I must be the luckiest guy. I hand-launched my Anafi today, flew it 500m out over the Mediterranean sea, brought it back, hand landed it and realized that this is how I had clipped in the battery. Or not.

    Kingston Technology Canvas React MicroSD and a general comment for Apple / Mac users

    Thanks. That datasheet does indeed confirm the Sandisk Industrial card is using MLC, not TLC. Same as https://www.kingston.com/datasheets/SDCIT_en.pdf Around five to five and a half minutes. I have a few times seen exactly 5:35 though miraculously, those videos display a file size of 4.2GB in...

    Best SD card? What a nightmare...

    This is interesting. Are you saying that a high capacity card (128GB for example) formatted in exFAT by using the SD Card Association Formatting tool is immediately recognisable in an Mac as well as the Anafi AND the content on the card can be read in the Mac afterwards?

    Kingston Technology Canvas React MicroSD and a general comment for Apple / Mac users

    You are right about the maximum partition size: FAT32 max partition size is 2TB. However, this is irrelevant to the issue here as partition size and file size are two different issues. A storage device, such as a hard drive (HDD) or Solid State Drive (SSD) as well as a USB stick or a memory...
