I am looking for some honest feedback from Parrot Anafi owners that has or has had a DJI mini 2 or 3 please. Ideally looking for a compreshensive list of pros and cons and whether you had the anafi first then got or DJI or vice versa and why.
Thanks for the reply, is there anything on the Anafi, not available on the mini's and what made you get the mini 3 while already owning the mini 2 ?I think the only way you can answer this currently is to advise to go with DJI. They all have their pro's and con's, and I really like my Anafi, just so simple to fly.
That said, these days with Parrot dropping support for us, excluding Anafi USA, I would say go DJI.
I have the Anafi, plus Mini 2 and Mini 3. The Mini 3 is an astonishing piece of technical engineering, fantastic bit of kit that makes the Anafi feel very dated now.
Parrot have not provided any support for us for the last couple of years, really since they brought out the Anafi USA. It was a bit of a kick in the teeth for us, it was as if they were saying "You served you purpose as test dummies, now bugger off".
For the support reason only, I would never go Parrot again. They showed their true colours, which is a shame as the Anafi could have been developed into something market leading.
Of course, these are my personal opinions.
thank you agustine, would you say the mini 3 is value for money and has the mini3 excedded your expectaion. I am not sure what virtual sticks is or what you mean it does a better video in waypoint?The only reason I hang onto my Anafi is for waypoints. Since my Mini 3 will not have them for some time and my Air 2S uses virtual sticks The Anafi does a better video in waypoint mode. Other then that its crap compared to the Mini 3 and light years behind the Air 2S.
The Mini 3 is still just a toy drone in my opinion. It does produce very nice photos and videos but it is a very stable drone in high winds. It is under the weight limit in most countries which is a bonus. Virtual sticks is what is used on all DJI drones that has the Flyapp. They stopped making native waypoints for there drones unless it was a enterprise drone which really sucks as virtual sticks means video is very jerky to the point it is not useable in any video with litchi.

Not sure what you would need internet for? Maybe to unlock a restricked zone but you could do that at home before going to fly.I am thinking about buying the Mini3, but just get not get information how DJI handles no internet - all of my flights are conducted with no internet available, and I refuse to use a hotspot from my phone to provide internet.
