Just took a punt on one of these Anafi's as a replacement or easy of use replacement for a 3DR Solo....... its as if the Anafi was made for previous 3DR Solo pilots.
The software seems very familiar to the Original Solo software (App) its like it could have been made by the same people and the controls on the Skycontroller 3 are of a very similar layout to the Solo controller.
One bad point of the controller though - Its too small for man hands!
The drone itself I found to be a lot smaller than expected, I nearly sent it back on opening it.... I'm so glad that i didn't!!
The Anafi performs superbly, its tiny but manages to hold its own in strong winds. Today I carried out a 200 picture photogrammetry survey in 30kmh winds it was a 15min flight time on the survey and landed with 39% battery left
(the 21mp camera helps a lot over the standard 12mp offered by most platforms)
Flight noise is no existant you will require a spotter to be with you as it is easy to lose track of the Anafi due to the fact that once you passed a distance of 15m you are not going to hear it.
I bought the extended package Anafi with controller 3 batteries and all the extras it all comes in a small grey fabric lunchbox
the only downside to this thing is that no one is going to take you seriously with it as its a business drone in a toy sheep's clothing.
