First drone, Anafi, San Antonio

justDee · Apr 7, 2019

Just got my first drone, the Parrot Anafi, and I live just outside of San Antonio, Tx
Love the drone so far. Chose it over the Mavic Air for a couple of reasons.
It's more in my price range.
It has a zoom ability
And it's quite.

Bought it to use both here around the house and on my trip to Africa in September.

Needed something small, lightweight, and quite.

I have lots of questions, but I'll browse the forum first for a while and see if I can find if my questions have already been answered.

I'm just Dee.....

Welcom Dee - Anafi is my favourite if I just want to shoot something quickly does not need FPV just grab the controller and anafi and shoot. Does a real nice job autostarts video very quiet and simple. Enjoy

Thanks IronSky1, I did a lot of YouTube research and bounced back and forth between the Anafi and the DJI Air, but settled on the Anafi. Love it so far and hope to learn from everyone on here.

I’m with you on this JustDee. This is my first high-def video drone and the footage quality and flight quality has been an eye-opener with some truly outstanding quality ! Learning more and more with every flight and every read through these forums. Welcome to the forums too. ??

Welcome to the Forum. I think you will enjoy your membership. There are many other members happy to provide assistance for any issues you may have, and those that may need information you bring. A lot of good information is already stored in existing threads.

Couple easy things:
1.) The search Icon is your friend. It's the magnifying glass near the upper right of the screen when you scroll all the way up. It can find many answers you will never find by yourself.
2.) Be aware that you won't always get a quick response. There are times when many other members are on line, and sometimes only a few. A response may not show up until the right person sees it.
3.) Be aware the forum is Global. If you are exchanging with a member on the other side of the world, response can get delayed and out of sequence due to a difference in local time.
4.) Although the Forum is global, the language is English. It is customary to translate other languages to English. Many members also include the original language post to help alleviate translation errors.
5.) Review the forum rules (on the bottom right). There are not too many, but it is important they are followed to keep the Forum a useful and happy place for everyone.
