Well,i am waiting for trump to send that second relief money that i desperately need to Invest into that new drone ?

I must admit one thing that attracted me to the Anafi was that it is a 'dumb' drone in a sense - there is no NFZ and no constant connection to the manufactuer, do not need an account or signup to operate - you can even choose if you want to upgrade the firmware - all this appeals to me.

I never understood how DJI has not been pulled up by the EU regulators (maybe none of the fanboi's have complained). I bought their DJI OSMO action cam and it required me to sign up for an DJI account before I could switch it on. That is just not GDPR - to operate an action cam does not require my data!

Anyway the OSMO was sent back to Amazon!

Autel is expanding in the EU. Their EVO II PRO is a very nice bird with a one inch sensor. I like my Anafi but it is time to get back to something that is solid and has a great camera.
Here is a video from a member on the other forum I moderate at. I am very impressed with the quality of the video.
EVO II Pro.

"Your data secured, a drone you can trust"

Honestly, isn't it really so important, if a manufacturer from china or a manufacturer from France, very closely connected to the 5 eyes, has our data?
Havin' MY data on my computer, ext. SSD, that would mean" My data secured"

And with the battery in that picture: Hopes for using the old batteries with a new bird are going with the wind, methinks!

And in case you have a warranty complaint, your "consent" to USE the servers is compulsory!
So what is the big difference? The location of the servers?
Do I trust data confidelety on french/europe servers (perhaps in UK, one of the 5eyes?) more as servers in China?
Not really!
And till now, the western "agencies" are for us westeners still the bigger problem, or not?
Good, that the US-Armee don't want drones which tell "the enemy" where they soldiers playing with them, understandable.
Now the US-Army knows, where they playing with them ;-)

If we are talking about "Anafi 2": which new models are hidden behind this?
What I could find:
1. Anafi UA:

The Parrot ANAFI UA – The perfect drone for search and rescue operators?

Only a few days ago, we wrote about this tender from the department of the interior in France and how they are looking to purchase 651 drones. Part of the tender seemed to be specifically written for the Parrot ANAFI drone. Whereas another part of the document seemed written for a drone with a...

This is obviously the military Thermal version.
2. Anafi Thermal SE outdoor tactical drone:

Parrot Anafi Thermal SE outdoor tactical drone shows in new photos

This week new photos appeared online that show the Parrot Anafi Thermal SE outdoor tactical drone in greater detail and also side-by-side to its smaller brother the Parrot ANAFI. As we said before, this seems to be the perfect search and rescue drone. Update with more info on the name and two...

dronexl.co

Also a military version ... or the same as 1.?
3. Anafi SE:
See the flyer in the attachment!
Normal Anafi like in the Work kit with some security features for military use.
4. ... are there more you know/heard of?

MustangPhil · Jun 24, 2020

I'm afraid the ANFI SE you mentioned in third position in the included leaflet, is only the regular ANAFI we all know.
I looked at the specs and they are exactly the same as our "Old" Anafi.

By curiosity, I checked the PDF leaflet properties, and found this document was made by a guy named "Jean-Patrice Coste" (I checked his linkedIn account and he works at Parrot for the last 4 years), and the document is quite old (created at the end of 2018, and finalized more than a year ago in march 2019)

So, it's not the ANAFI 2 for consumer we should be expecting ...

Dirk_ANAFI · Jun 24, 2020

Yes, I also saw that Anafi SE is not a new model, but I didn't hear of it yet.

I never did expect an Anafi 2.
That seems higly unlikely, the "upgrade" would be to big, in special in the price.

What I would like to know: Does the US military accept that they just get the flight logs after landing and sometimes first after a restart??

I searched on "Anafi SE' which brought me to this page (three weeks old)

The new Parrot Anafi drone will come in two versions. One will be for the military, the other one will be for civilian use, including Search and Rescue operations. I have reached out to somebody with first-hand knowledge of this new and exciting drone from the French drone maker Parrot. A...
