    Similar to Anafi but not DJI?

    Exactly. ...and if the price is right, I may still hop on a refurb and use the other for parts. Anafi is in a class of it's own. We consumers were only used for testing.

    I sent to Drone nerds, the cost quoted for repair was way too much, could have gotten a refurb at that price point. I also opened it and reassembled but could not get it working. One leg off a landing pad on grass should not cause such a major issue. Anafi fails in that regard.

    Similar to Anafi but not DJI?

    I had no crash either. Similar issue. Gimbal just won't move on start-up. Mine landed with one leg on the landing pad and gimbal never worked after that. Sadly, there is none like Anafi. I went with a Fimi 2020 but have to cope with a constant crooked gimbal. It is feature packed but I miss...

    Anafi sales this holiday season

    I believe I have crossed Parrot off my list. At least provide the parts that are required for a working drone, with such support. I really loved this drone. So capable. With battery issues, dead gimbal issues, lack of proper customer support, etc I would not recommend the Anafi to any...

    Xiaomi red mi note 8 pro incompatibility with Free Flight 6

    I have not been able to work around this issue. Must be a Xiaomi/FF6 thing. All other apps I have tried on the Xiaomi can 'Share'. I have contacted Parrot, but they claimed to not be responsible, and the case was closed.

    I had some extra time this week. Worked on my battery mod. It was initially unsuccessful. The charge board was disconnected a long time ago, but based on Solaris' instructions should not have been. Grabbed another old battery, and this time appears to be a successful mod. The old cells I may...

    I can vaguely recall someone removing the case to bring the weight down. Not sure if it went down to below 250g though. Here you go

    Here is a quick concept which may work. -it must not make the case any longer (to keep the USB charge circuit attached to the battery board) -increase height for the extra thickness of the additional 2 cells (keeping in mind that USB circuit flex cable) -add grooves Epoxy and glue should do...

    Reduced flight time for sure. I will monitor the voltage using the modded app until one can design a case for a thicker battery(I am considering taking up that challenge). Or when Solaris' shipping rate to the US reduces. Solaris' batteries are still the better option for anyone with easier...

    Pity I cannot fly my newly swapped battery as yet, cause Anafi is still with Drone Nerds. Here are some more progress photos and the almost finished product (need to seal the casing). Weight before some hot glue and epoxy, 105.6g. Onto the next one!

    I did the swap on my worst Anafi battery today. The cells are slightly wider which initially made it a tight fit with the side wall supports, and soft padding, of the Anafi battery case. Cutting the rear corners caused less stress on the battery case, but cutting out the side supports(ground...
