Good evening,


I am Francesco and I am writing from Italy. Sorry for my english.


A few days ago I discovered that through a drone it is possible to get a 3D reconstruction of the territory simply flying over and taking photos (through the technique of aerofotogrammetry) ... After learning this I can not wait to get the right drone to do this (in fact I am a land surveyor-planner and for me it is of great interest to be able to develop 3D models of the territory which can then be imported in graphic processing software).

Informing me about the type of drone that lends itself to aerofotogrammetry I focused my attention on these two models: the DJI Spark and the new Parrot Anafi.

The spark seems more economically ... but actually buying the necessary accessories does not cost much less than the Anafi.

Considering it would be my first drone, I initially thought I would be more secure buying the Spark ... having the anti-collision sensors. Then when I saw that even with the anti-collision sensors can not avoid certain types of obstacles (such as the thin cables of an electric line) I convinced myself that perhaps I could do without it ... and that I could learn to drive with caution a drone like the Anafi. Drone, the Anafi, who seems to beat the DJI in many ways.


What instead is putting me a little fear in choosing definitively for Anafi is to read the reviews on Amazon of people who suddenly lost him because he suddenly crashed .. or topic like this: Anafi Fell Out Of The Sky



What I wonder is:


Is Anafi much less reliable than Spark?


What do you think about it?



My fear is to spend 600 euros ... and then see the Anafi crashing for no reason
