Welcome Tim
And yes I have heard it is hard to find legal places to fly in France. Glad to see you are trying to stay legal.

Hello, I’m Travis and am new to the sport and industry. I have picked up a Parrot Bebop 2 and have enjoyed flying it. I have quickly realized some of the limitations that is in the camera for photos and the video so I’m looking to upgrade to Anafi soon. I have enjoyed how the bebop has flown and also know that the equipment does not the camera man make. Lots to learn on my end still. This looks like a great place to pick up some tips and pointers.

Hi I'm Stacy, (EyeFly Cinematography). I'm in the Bay Area. I LOVE to fly! I was gong to get a real pilots license. Then started flying Drones, now I'm hooked.

I'm a filmmaker / Photographer 36 years and love the Anafi Parrot mostly for maneuvering shots. If you can't tilt while lifting off, you're just flying. The finger peddles are key for me. I love that it shoots straight up too. I get frustrated with paring the drone though, very annoying. Maybe someone can help out with that. I'll save that for another day.

I also have a DJI Phantom older version. But I prefer staying under the weight limit. Anyway I just shot this video below at a Quarry 2 days ago. Other frustrating thing is adjusting the lighting while flying. Like I said I am very new to this. 2-3 years. Don't know how to do the ways points, but when I do... look out.

I've learned a lot the hard way. It would be great to do a zoom with someone who knows this thing and can give me some tips. I'm very nervous about loosing my drone. It went off on its own a little bit. So any input is appreciated. Peace

Hi, New to the ParrotPilots. Previously owned a Bebop, Bebop 2 and Disco. Also previously owned a DJI Phantom 3 Standard. Currently own a DJI Spark and Mavic Pro. Currently considering purchasing an Anafi and want to find out what the forum is saying about the new bird - pros and cons. I have about 3 years of drone flying experience. Looking forward to hearing about the Anafi through the forum! Thanks

I think is the best for filmmakers. The peddles make it easier to tilt while lifting. Which give it a dramatic look. Also I love that it doesn't ask about a lot of warnings before flying if your only lifting up 50 feet with a drone under a pound to get a clients building you shouldn't have to contact the FAA. Cons pairing for me sucks. I still haven't figured out all the functions.

New Anafi owner here. I have been flying Yuneec drones (Q500 and H) for 2 years now. I’m loving the portability and ease of use of my Anafi. I plan on checking all the threads here to get more insight of this very cool drone.

Hello, I'm Shaun in Texas. I have been given a yellow Bebop (1.0?) drone/backpack kit from my father...my first drone. I'm fairly certain it has not been used at all.

Thanks!

Hi people, I'm Luis from Colombia. I've been flying almost every thing in the rc world many years ago, but I'm newbie in the Parrot community or other online communities. I am currently a commercial drone operator and am dabbling in precision agriculture services with the Parrot Sequoia. I operate with various types of aircraft, Ph4 Pro, Mavic Pro, 3DR, MK hexa and fixed-wing platforms such as Aeromapper Talon and Parrot Disco Pro. I hope to learn a lot with you and contribute what little I know about this topic.

Hello Luis,
Welcome from California and good to have you join the forum

Hello fellow pilots, Rob here from Knoxville, TN. I fly a Parrot Anafi Thermal, Yuneec Typhoon H, and a DJI Inspire 2. I work for a company that produces video solutions for law enforcement and commercial applications and drones are the next logical step to carry the cameras. I am a retired police officer and current reserve patrol deputy. I have a part 107 license both for testing cameras for my employer and flying missions for the Sheriff's Office. I am exploring the commercial side of drone piloting i.e. I have reserved some URLs, have a website parked, and am exploring starting an LLC but for now I just fly on the weekends and upload some videos to stock media websites. Great to be around like minded folks.
