When I got my Anafi the Follow Me and Flight Plan were only $0.99. Love the Follow me and Way Point, makes the shots smooth and flows nicely into the next view.
Cameraman is good for tracking moving targets...you can fly freely around a GPS point from Tap to fly as well (kind of a hidden Cameraman function), then it stays rock solid on the spot, even in sport mode. Did Orbits that way with almost 50kph. And yes, that slider sets the height above take off point for a POI, and you don't have to guess or measure, you can adjust according to the live view. You can save on data plan, if you load the area at home into the cache, either by just panning there in map view or by creating a flight plan mission. I'm a filmer, I'm less interested in dashing my bird around, I've been longing for a Cameraman like function for years...Anafi is definitely my bird 👍
Do you think that cameraman mode can be used with the drone grounded as a gimbal + camera replacement? If I put the drone "on a tripod" (I don't want it to fly to save battery) does that mode can still be used?
Great instructional video on the Parrot Anafi. Your videos helped me to choose the Anafi drone to help out with my Landscape filming and Photography. Thanks
Usain Bolt at 18:17 . TURBO MODE activated. 😁 Excellent vid of all the modes on the Anafi. Think I'm getting this, over a DJI. 😎👍 plus can only get better with software updates and new features.
Thinking to buy this drone. Back in UK on Amazon it cost only £469 or with 2 additional batteries, bag just £619. Think for the price is actually amazing.
this drone is awesome it shits on the mavic 2 all the way and is $1000 cheaper too. no lying or cheating going on here parrot delivers what it promises and with a great camera too. nice video 👍
@Moises Myles i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I'm not even using an active phone, just an old one that I've connected to my home's wifi. What I do is preload maps (you can pick anywhere you want to be the center of your flying location from the google map) and it will preload all the maps of that area, so you never need your data on if you have a wifi hotspot to preload before you go out.
Great video. One question in active track: does the anafi connect to the controller or the mobile phone? If I fly without controller, will this dual tracking thing still work?
Thanks for getting back to me. At the moment I use Vegas and Da Vinci Resolve, but my editing skills are limited, I am more of a photographer. I did use some plugin in the past to stabilize gopro footage though. I think I will download that section of your video and see how well I manage to correct it. Thanks for all the info, I am finding myself watching quite a few of your videos of late.
Great video - really helpful review/overview. I've recently bought the Anafi and really like it too. Can you recommend a way to review footage when you're on location and don't have a laptop?
for 699 euros with 2 batteries + big travel bag its the best drone in its class. But the Flight Plan mode has many many more to it. you do have controll over everything in the plan. You can program every movement possible and let it fly without connection to the controller.
Pricing on the two unlockable modes is now 99 cents (until Sept. 6, 2018 if I recall the date correctly). The altitude indication is in meters for flight plan mode despite the distances being in imperial units in the US, so beware.
with bebop 2 i love tracking option, when i ride motorcycle it was great, fast and pretty accurate. Now with dji spark, drone is to slow to keep up, loose tracking point, fly to far from me.... Nice wideo by the way, thx for that, now i am pretty sure that i want this drone.
foto moto blog man you can by it in tech rabbit refurbished for the entire fpv kit with the drone $174. Last year I paid $250 for the sky controller 1😩
Like your style, very comprehensive tutorial /review. My beautiful anafi arrived yesterday and it's mind blowing. I just have a little question for you. How to put in 1080p 60fps? Cheers
Excellent tutorial ! I have the Bebop 2 but thinking of adding the Anafi in the near future . It would be nice if Parrot included the flight features but hey , I don't mind spending the extra $20. after only paying a third the price of DJI .
Dman 52 I jut wish they did better in Urban area. I’ve tried to reach a mile from bebop 1 with sky controller to BB2 with the smaller sky controller. I’m thinking of getting into mods. Just bought me a soldiering kit🤓
@@theurbanartist775 Wow , I don't seem to have that issue in my area . Hope the mod works out and be careful with the new soldering kit ! I always end up burning myself ! 😁
Great review. Very helpful as I just got one. I never thought I would buy a parrot product but hey ho! Looking forward to flying this UAV.. question when in flight modes. Do you have to push stop on the app or do the control sticks cancel the auto mode if there is a problem
new subscriber, thanks! Kind of a silly question: I am buying this for the camera man look up - so it can look up at me playing basketball. Once looking up, can I zoom out to make sure it gets my feet too? make sure it's full body versus face? Thanks in advance if you get a chance to answer :)
How does that table on the right hand side measure the height? Is it in meters? Does it show 2 or 3 is the height in relation to the object or the height of the drone? Thank you
Watched another Anafi range test video. Got 2.2 miles on the WIFI before Anafi went into failsafe mode, stopped, turned round, to head for HOME. 2.2 MILES! Thats fantastic. 👍👍
Not sure they are better than those that come included on the Mavic Air. But since all the modes on my Mavic Air are no longer working at all the Parrott Anafi may be better.
Well the boomerang and asteroid are not even there to select. The other modes are there but will not even activate. I have used the DJI assistant to refresh the firmware but nothing changed.
Good to know. I am just waiting for my spark to sell and want to buy anafi. Can you tell me if there are any problems with communication with this drone? I watched some reviews where there were such problems
Parrot do it EVERY time (every platform). Bebop, Disco, now Anafi. 😤 Will still be one of the first things I do, unlocking those features. I think WAYPOINTS is a super cool autonomous feature, also great for ground mapping. 😎
Addendum: having flown around myself a little I also have managed an Anafi unique shot: ruclips.net/video/Vgn4_rEahc0/видео.html I don't think MP2 will be able to do this.
I still can't believe the air still hasn't been given waypoints its over a year old And they still haven't done the Mavic 2 waypoints either Dji is absolutely Rubbish with Software its that Bad it isn't funny. The Go4 App is Shocking and needs massively sorting Bugs everywhere Features missing for every drone.
DO NOT BUY PARROT ANAFI!!! I experienced a problem with my controller was was a fault with my controller being able to connect to my smartphone (having used it about 20 times). From reading various forums and comments (on youtube and trustpilot), this appears to be a common problem. And now Parrot won't replace my controller. Also other interesting thing to note, there is no customer service telephone number in the UK.

Glad to help
Anafi 21 megapixel camera is over compressed JPEG garbage that you cannot opt out of. Parrot is filthy business cheats.

You are welcome. Thanks for watching

That is interesting that MA does not track using GPS...is that same for MP?

Enjoy. Use those affiliate links in the description. At no cost to you they help this channel.
Great video. One question in active track: does the anafi connect to the controller or the mobile phone? If I fly without controller, will this dual tracking thing still work?
It will connect to either. I am not sure as I never fly without remote. Too many limitations
Great video, probably the best I’ve seen on this drone. Thanks.
Thanks.
Very helpful and detailed thanks! Is it hard to correct the bobbing effect in post processing?
It depends on the software you use and your comfort level with editing

Still 99 cents for both flight modes.

There is a button on the app
Very informative.
Could the cameraman mode be used with the drone grounded as a gimbal + camera replacement?
In theory it could
@@HalfChrome Are you sure? I just got an answer saying the gimbal will only move after take off.
You need a moving gimbal for tracking right?
I’ve never tried so I don’t actually know. The gimbal will have to move to track for sure
Very helpfful review, I see there's been some significant updates since your review. Do they address any of your negatives?
Yes. The Anafi is a better drone now that it was at the time of the review.
Thanks for that. I've just ordered one from Amazon, so I'm in. It'll be interesting to see how it sits with my Inspire 2 and Mavic 2 Pro.
This is a toy compared to those. I like the Anafi but those two are superior in most ways.
Great job, well done ! Many thanks for this very informative video
You are welcome.
Great review.. i buy a anafi because this video,
Awesome. Use a link in the video description to help me out.
Nice!! I love ANAFI ❤️👍😊🎵
Me too

Yes, you'd just position the drone so that it sees your entire body and use that as its focal point.
Very good and informative video. Great job.
thanks.
How does that table on the right hand side measure the height? Is it in meters? Does it show 2 or 3 is the height in relation to the object or the height of the drone? Thank you
thanks for the video, how does the WIFI signal and video transmission compare to dji spark or mavic air?
It is pretty comparable to the Air. Better than Spark
Watched another Anafi range test video. Got 2.2 miles on the WIFI before Anafi went into failsafe mode, stopped, turned round, to head for HOME. 2.2 MILES! Thats fantastic. 👍👍
great video, thank you.

I have one question does it have fpv mode? (When the screen of your smartphone divides in 2 to use a vr headset)
Hey how about a good urban range test. Please man, because I’m about to by a Mavic pro, I need urban range, standing right in the driveway 😁
Range tests are a good way to lose a drone.
Haven’t lost a bebop yet and I’ve been flying without fear for 3 years. Trust me, I’ll send that baby out!
You do you.
i have heard from more than one review that the sim card holder was a problem - what is you opinion?
It is different but not a problem.
Just bought a new anafi 05/29/20 follow me and waypoints were only .99 each
Very well done sir, thank you
Great review.
Thanks
Awesome!

Well the boomerang and asteroid are not even there to select. The other modes are there but will not even activate. I have used the DJI assistant to refresh the firmware but nothing changed.
We want people to be able to compare for themselves.
How's the drone been? Any updates since this video?
Still flying well
Nice video. Be sure to send a list of needed fixes to parrot!
Good call.
Call me crazy, but doesn’t the bebop 2 do these exact same things, but only 1080p?
It’s much better than the Bebop in a lot of ways. The camera and gimbal are much better
Thanks a lot, very instructive (new owner)
ps : can't understand the id...ts who thumbed this down
nice vid., thank you.
Thanks. We wanted to do a full review of the modes.
Nice video.
Thanks
The new update has RTH adjustble hight and dowload offline maps AE lock and a few more
Good to know. I am just waiting for my spark to sell and want to buy anafi. Can you tell me if there are any problems with communication with this drone? I watched some reviews where there were such problems
I just got my second battery from B&H Photo.
We also just picked up a second one. More flying time.
Unbelievable! They charge you for extra flight modes that should be free? 😠
It is stupid, I agree.
Parrot do it EVERY time (every platform). Bebop, Disco, now Anafi. 😤 Will still be one of the first things I do, unlocking those features. I think WAYPOINTS is a super cool autonomous feature, also great for ground mapping. 😎
They’re 99 cents now

ROFL 🤣
Can you give a drone to me for free please
Only if you give me one for free.
That almost makes sense...
Half Chrome just kidding so wich drone you recommend me tho
Depends. I really like the Anafi, but you can't go wrong with the Mavic Air.
Absolutely do not buy one of these I’ve gone through three of them in the last eight months they should be discontinued.
