I have the Parrot Anafi - and it is my favourite. Also have the DJI 3 standard, which is a fine working horse but noisy. I love my Parrot - it is stable and QUIET. I live in northern part of Norway and the winter is long and I have flown this bird at temperatures only below O C - at the coldest it was freezing -38 C. A malfunctioning motor was the only problem but the RTH brought the bird safely home. The flaw of the machine in my opinon is that WIFI connection is very often disturbed by local networks and routers... Love that bird!
Thanks for revisiting this quad after six months. I was very interested in this when it came out, and I'm still interested especially after the price drop. Great video, you sent the record strait on many things concerning the Anafi.
I did not wait for Mavic 2 zoom and switched from Mavic Pro to Anafi back in July and loving its camera since. Over the regular updates, Anafi is more reliable and feature rich now. Highly recommend it for the price.
I have had four Anafis. I still have two. It is a great drone in many ways. I also have a Mavic Pro and a Spark. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses. The Spark is small and fun and is great to fly in the dark. The Anafi is terrible at flying in the dark, it has one light which blinks bright, blinding you and giving you no idea at all about how far away it is or which way it is facing. But the Anafi has a bigger range than the Spark and much longer flight endurance. The zoom facility is wonderful if you film in 1080p, 2.8 times zoom and smooth with it. Whilst the Mavic Pro can zoom in it does it in jerks which are shit, the Anafi zooms in and out smoothly. I find myself stopping recording then zooming in and starting again with the Mavic Pro, with the Anafi you can zoom in and out without a care whenever you get the urge. You can get some excellent prop guards for the Anafi which I recommend for flights near people, trees, wildlife or buildings. The prop guards are really cheap and they can be put on and taken off in seconds, which is essential. Prop guards which take two minutes or more to put on won't get put on, or won't get taken off, and you'll end up damaging your drone. When armed with prop guards the Anafi is quiet, stealthy and unthreatening so you can fly it near people and not get negative comments. In contrast a Mavic Air sounds like a circular saw and looks like it wants to sever small children's fingers. Whilst my Mavic Pro has a three-axis gimbal and the Anafi has only two this really isn't a big deal. Also the lack of obstacle avoidance isn't a big deal either, once I decided I wanted to buy an Anafi I disabled the obstacle avoidance on my Spark and the improvement in its performance was so good I don't think I have ever switched it back on again yet. Another great thing about the Anafi is the size and shape of the batteries, very easy to keep warm in a trouser pocket. Drones often refuse to fly if the battery is cold, the Anafi battery is probably the biggest one which you can slip into a pocket comfortably.
I love it so much, The price is around the limit tho for a drone like this, but it has a lot of features and flies nice, AWESOME Video man! KEEP IT UP!
Really liking the new into matey, very nice! I'd buy one if I had the cash, it looks like excellent video quality, and it has the added bonus of not being made by DJI so it won't pretend to not understand Android 😀 Great review buddy 😎✌ ✌
The controller is heavy because it has concrete weights in it to help with balance when you have a phone mounted in it. I opened it up. Takes a Torx #6 if your interested. I have done a bunch of videos on the Anafi if your interested. I will be putting out a video tomorrow night comparing the Anafi's FLight plan to DJI Waypoint 2.0.

Great review, thank you for sharing with us! I'm flying Bebop 2, Anafi, Disco and others RC Planes!!! Let's go to the next challenge...
I'm looking at other options while I wait for the price to come back down but I really like the anafi specs. The upward looking camera could be useful as an inspector.
Nice vid thanks. Came really close to getting this drone but see to many videos of horrible connection issues even in open areas. If you live in a dense Urban area forget it, you'll lose connection in no time. Glitchy, frozen screen ect. Love everything else about this drone but if I can't get it out farther than a 400 feet it's crippled imo.
The HDR mode look's like a Red Epic camera footage. Similar to some of the landscape shot's in the Hobbit series. The Red Epic is over $100,000 U.S. the gimbal is $3500.00 U.S. and the Quad to carry all that cost $35,000+ So the Anafi is a bargain. Lol
Quick question....If you have the return to home minimum height set at 100 feet but happen to be at 200 feet when RTH is activated, will it stay at 200 feet or drop to the 100ft setting?
The fact that they have a tendency to fall out the sky, alot. The fact that Parrot dont repair drones, and they dont sell gimbles if yours get broken. Etc etc etc... it's the after service that let's this down big time. If I had know the facts before I would have gone for the DJI route.
Hi mate. What I have read extensively is if the Mavic air had a better transmission it would win hands down but it seems the parrot has a way better camera. I have flown the air. I liked it but that signal issue was a huge concern. Never seen or flown the anafi mind you.
AGRS1974 hi mate yeah the camera is awesome on the anafi and it is far better in wind the the air if I had to pick one I would probably buy the anafi tbh I dont use obstacle avoidance anyway
@@CKone41 I'm with you, but read a few stories about the parrot just dropping out the sky. Mind you I have the disco and it's great. Not so good in low light.
I LOVE my Anafi. So quiet and the camera is so good. She does everything I want her to. Very glad I bought it. It is my favorite of all the ones I have.
Yes good wee drone am getting to grip with it now after two month i fly the yuneec H most of the time between the two i think i have a good set up just the weather that the problem now we plus have this coronavirus now as well bit sick can't get out but as i said it's a good we drone i just need to get out and about with it along with my Yuneec H more.
Thanks a lot for producing that fantastic video. I'm still in the market of looking and I'm gonna take your advice and check them all! The fly more package seen the way to go! Keep up the good work!
The price is justified for the features. No props in the shot, ever, well, as long as they are on the motors they'll never get in the shot! It's light and quiet. The camera is much better than those on most budget/clone drones. The range and battery life are good. The software is great, the Flight Plan facility is really good and you can look up!
I love my Anafi. With the price difference between the Anafi and the Mavic Air I wouldn't hesitate to buy the Anafi over the Air again and again.
A nice bird..... so a quite stable flyer.... !
Nice to see a follow with the Anafi. A lot of people bashed it on release for problems that have been fixed. I got one myself...and I love it.

The Anafi is an incredible drone with a killer camera and it is buttery smooth, can't wait for the Anafi 2 and a possible 1 inch sensor, let us pray.
agree totally mate fingers crossed for the 1 inch
What I heard is, they ramped down their R&D unit, and focusing on commercial drones. So I'm not sure, but still hope they would release one
@@manoj238 I heard the same, unfortunately.

And what about the noise! It's much quieter than the Mavic Air or Spark. The Anafi is definitely my favorite drone👍

Hallo !!!
Good job !!
I have an ANAFI .
I love ANAFI !!👍🎵😊
The controller has counter weights in it to counter balance a tablet.
Have u tried filters for it? Seems to dramatically improve the contrast issue's.
I thought no more. Just got one. Thank you for your review.
The controller is heavy so that it stays balanced when a phone/tablet is attached. You can set it down and rest.
Really liking the new into matey, very nice!
I'd buy one if I had the cash, it looks like excellent video quality, and it has the added bonus of not being made by DJI so it won't pretend to not understand Android 😀 Great review buddy 😎✌ ✌

Great review, thank you for sharing with us! I'm flying Bebop 2, Anafi, Disco and others RC Planes!!! Let's go to the next challenge...
This would be a nice portable upgrade to my bebop2, waiting for the extended flight pkg to drop in price a little more.
I just ordered a refurb yesterday from the us, 400 usd. Lets hope I get a good copy!
I'm looking at other options while I wait for the price to come back down but I really like the anafi specs. The upward looking camera could be useful as an inspector.
Great update video. Glad you are still enjoying it
Cheers Ray I actually like it more every time I fly it.
Hi Colin, what would you recommend, the Anafi or the Fimi X8?
Hi mate definitely the Anafi
@@CKone41 Thanks Colin. I did have an order for the Zino 2 but seen really poor reviews on it. Can't wait to see ur next video

mzimmerman12 Hi it will stay at the original height of 200 feet. Thanks very much for watching
Hello all friend 👋
The air is selling cheaper than the anafi on ebay and you get more in the package. Trying to find an anafi cheaper though.
Great review but you've only charged the controller once in 6 months? They are supposed to last 4-6 flights
Alex Smith I have had at least 30 flights without charging do you only get 4 flights?
Nice video. I ordered an anafi, but it didn't arrived yet. You have a funny accent.

AGRS1974 yeah that was on the early firmware I got mine on release and touch wood it has been perfect and a great flight time
El el único dron que puede competir con DJI. Excelente trabajo de demostración. Saludos.
Thank you
Looks a great drone nice review on it mate Nice one DON 👌👌👌👌👍
Cheers Don yes its a great drone with a fantastic camera
I LOVE my Anafi. So quiet and the camera is so good. She does everything I want her to. Very glad I bought it. It is my favorite of all the ones I have.
nice info, bro. i don't have parrot anafi, it looks a great drone :)
Hi!
Honestly, do you think it's fair better than parrot bebop 2?
Roberto Enther yes it’s a a lot better the camera is really good and the drone flies superb it’s quite a big upgrade
Yes good wee drone am getting to grip with it now after two month i fly the yuneec H most of the time between the two i think i have a good set up just the weather that the problem now we plus have this coronavirus now as well bit sick can't get out but as i said it's a good we drone i just need to get out and about with it along with my Yuneec H more.
Glad you are enjoying it I have the typhoon h also
Great video 👍
Flight Plan can give some real cinematic video.
Thanks a lot for producing that fantastic video. I'm still in the market of looking and I'm gonna take your advice and check them all!
The fly more package seen the way to go!
Keep up the good work!
as always, thank you sir
Thanks once again for watching
This drone or fimi 8? Un saludo desde España 🇪🇸 edu bermudez. 👌
edu bermudez definitely the anafi it’s a great drone
@@CKone41 thanks you very much, see you in next video 👌
Cheers Colski
$599 of Anafi is still more expensive than FIMI X8.
simon LIAO mate the fimi camera quality is nowhere near as good as the anafi or the flight time
