    Weird light reflections on the ground, when flying back to the Sun...

    I get this on the Disco as well. It's a reflection of the sun from water droplets. See around 9 minutes here: 5:05 here:

    Down the Line, what improvements do you wish to see with the Anafi assuming we get a sequel to it?

    Ability to map controller buttons, including to one or two GPIO pins for lights etc.

    Anafi "wobble"

    It's not normal to see any wobble in video in my experience. I did have a few problems with a past firmware update but they were fixed. The Anafi actually wobbling in the air is normal though.

    Birds that don't like the Anafi

    One way to spot thermals is to look for birds hovering without flapping their wings. Apart from the angry oystercatchers... I wonder if some birds see the Anafi hovering and go there thinking they might be able to hover too?

    New Anafi..... anything to watch out for ?

    The Sky Controller 3 has a bit of a tendency to eject the wedged-in phone if you move it suddenly. This is very bad as it then clamps it down against the sticks. I suggest ensuring it's pushed well in and then compress the antenna downwards gently, and avoid sudden movements. The battery on the...

    Down the Line, what improvements do you wish to see with the Anafi assuming we get a sequel to it?

    Ability to move the home position on the map, with appropriate warnings and safeguards etc. For several reasons, the best place to launch under full control is not necessarily the best place for the drone to land itself if control is lost. Hopefully this could be a software only change.

    Let's get Parrot to fix Flight Plans

    I still don't have a definitive list, but there are changes at a waypoint that trigger the Anafi pausing. Ones I definitely remember seeing mentioned are a change in altitude or speed.

    Missing flight data

    When this happened to me I fixed it with a factory reset within the app. Which is different to a hard reset. This is the advice I followed from Parrot:-

    Using Anafi in high mountains

    The manual gives the service ceiling as 4500 metres but plan for higher battery drain.

    Over wind resistance situations

    I like the app Ventusky for forecasts. It shows the wind speed at ground level, at 100 metres, and of gusts separately. The speed at 100 metres is sometimes much higher but not always, so it's useful to be able to see these individually.

    Birds that don't like the Anafi

    I've noticed Oystercatchers and Swifts are particularly attracted to following it, but they haven't attacked. Buzzards have also hade a good look a couple of times.

    Parrot Dev Team

    Major updates make me a bit nervous, but new features excite me too much to turn it down.

    Is it safe to fly the Anafi when it is wet outside?

    Reasonable humidity should be ok as long as the Anafi isn't a lot colder than the surroundings. Drizzle - I'm not sure, it might be ok and I have got away with a few bouts of unexpected rain, but I don't fly in it deliberately.

    Replacing GPS module

    I strongly suspect that what is referred to in the repair guide as the 'GPS card' is actually just the GPS antenna, and that the GPS module is part of the motherboard. Parrot Anafi Drone GPS Modul | eBay

    Anafi not Initiating after switching on?

    I wonder if someone in the warehouse dropped a box of them.
