Hello all,
Highlander77 from upstate NY here and like to introduce myself. I am 48 yrs old and the Parrot Anafi is my first drone. Just received it Monday 8/12/19 and flew it last night for the first time 8/13/19. Was amazed by how fast it was. Not sure what version it is as I ordered it from Toby deals UK. it shipped from China all manuals are in kanji, but hey I did get warning notices for Australia and New Zealand....lol. just looking to learn a few things and enjoy my drone and the new world of photography it will open up.

Hi everyone, I´m Luis Hevia, photographer since the lats 25 years, living in the north of Spain and absolutely new to drones. I´ve just received my Parrot Anafi and I´m fascinated with how easy seems to be everything with it, except one thing wich turns me absolutely frustrated: IT HAS NO ZOOM FOR STILL IMAGES !!!, why do the people at Parrot anounced"35mm focal length equivalent: 23-69mm (photo)" if what they do is just crop the image?. I feel totally cheated.
Could anyone please tell me if that´s true or am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks in advance
Luis Hevia

Je m'appelle Benoit et mes parents m'ont offert pour mes 50 ans (il y a 3 ans ...) un drone perroquet anafy. Je ne suis pas novice en matière de pilotage radiocommandé et nous avons la possibilité de la gagner en même temps pour les néophytes, est bluffante. Comme tout le monde je pense j'ai eu quelques crashs, mais jamais violents car je volais à hauteur d'homme dans le jardin en pilote juste devant la caméra et aux instruments du logiciel, j'ai heurté 2 à 3 fois des branches d 'arbres c'est tout. Résultat: une branche d'élices ne se bloque plus en position de vol et bras se répliquent au décollage. J'ai démonté puis remonté les bras et leurs rotules de fixation. il s'est avéré passer cette opération, le problème s'est juste déplacé : à l'origine il s'agissait du bras avant droite et après remontage, la défaillance était sur le bras arrière gauche. Ceci démontre qu'une rotule est la cause de cette panne. Problème!!! Cela fait 1 mois que j'ai contacté parrot sans avoir avancé d'un cheveux. Alors si vous avez des tuyaux pour que je puisse me procurer cette pièce, et de façon plus générale toute pièce détachée de se drone, merci de m'aider

Drone School 101 Here are a few Do's and Don'ts for new drone pilots or pilots new to Parrot drones. * READ THE MANUAL! * Preflight the drone, looking especially for prop damage. * Fly close and slow until you get a feel for the controls. * Practice over a course until you can fly it...

Greetings all from Australia, I've had my BB2 Power for a month, first real UAV after a couple of toys, really enjoying it. My phone holder was missing the retaining screw when unboxed but emailed Parrot and had a new holder in a week. Crashed a few times but no damage, she's pretty tough. Getting some nice smooth vids using waypoints, really like planning a flight around interesting vistas. Can't wait for better weather (winter here) to really get into it.
Hello All, Brian here from Dubuque, IA. Just got my Part 107 and a new Anafi for the construction company i work for and am thrilled with it so far. Really nice for a first time flyer!

Hi my name is Larry and have had my parrot bebop 2 for about a year. Unfortunately it sits most of the time. I want to get better at it and fly it around more.
Hi I'm Rassie,
Welcome from Australia
I have being involved in drones for about 2 years now, but GPS drones for a year now. Before I had toy drones
Up till now my main drone was the Parrot Bebop 2 but I recently bought me a Parrot Anafi.
I'm really a leisure pilot but do like to start filming my 4x4 adventures.
I'm a real Parrot fan where I also have a Parrot minidrone SWAT for flying indoors

Hi Everyone,
Just bought a Parrot Anafi (first drone) to try and capture some nice shots around my new house in Norfolk.
Lots to learn and luckily just came across this forum, hopefully pick up some good tips and tricks from you guys.

Welcome to the forum Andy. Make sure that you read the Freeflight 6 User Manual, current version is 2.6 and is available from the Parrot website or from a thread in the Anafi section of the forum, thoroughly at least twice so that you understand the software and take baby steps when flying it to start with.
Also make sure that you look at the CAA website for the rules on drone use so that you do not fall foul of the law. Being in Norfolk, a county that we have had many holidays, gives you lots of areas free of people and houses in which to fly but not many hills or mountains to photograph!

Welcome from another NW UK flyer. I know what you mean about the weather. I fly electric powered fixed wing, gliders, slope soarers and quadcopters so you would think that there would be at least one or two days each week , I am retired, when I could fly something but not at the moment.
