    I like how Parrot is making strides to try and keep up with the ever changing drone market. They have a very light and functional craft here with some unique features. This is one of the best. Very quiet, light and performs very well all the way around. If parrot can improve camera low light performance and it's signal link they could really be more of a threat to DJI.

    Great video Dustin. Not bad at all for a wifi bird. The price is competitive when compared to the DJI offerings. The only downside [if any] is that wifi has some downsides in contrast to a proprietary system. You are correct in the fact that anafi is more susceptible to the competition than DJI.

    HI Dustin! Love your long range tests!! I have done many videos on the Anafi myself if your interested. The video stream issue you experienced on the long range RTH is a problem with apple devices. Once the video stream cuts out, the apple device's USB security will not let it through again unless you restart the app or unplug, and replug the controller. Android tends to reconnect automatically. (Iphone 8plus/Galaxy s7)

    I have to give credit to Parrot with that gimbal system. No propeller blades. Not everyone needs more than 1 or 2 miles. What camera would you prefer Dustin, the Ximi X8 or the Anafi? Great video.

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  5 лет назад +4

      The ANAFI is indeed a great little drone. I'd say the cameras are very similar but the X8 is new and I think they can improve it much more with updates since it does 100Mbps read rate.

    Hi All, After buying an Anafi and doing some testing of range, which was only about 1 km at best in semi urban area, and then when i went to a mountain range test. Got it out to 3000 metres, before it dropped out. Only got video when it returned to home. So frustrating that it cant pick up video until it got home. Surely Parrot can improve that function

    I managed 4.1km(2.6miles) a week ago. Never lost video feed or connection. I was flying over the ocean.
    The drone auto returned due to “low battery” but still got home with 31% battery left. Very conservative. Amazing drone.

    • @ufosaboveus

      Must be something wrong with his Anafi because I know several Anafi flyers that go out past 2 miles with their anafis. Heck... I can fly out to 2 miles and then when I get back… still have enough battery for 5 or more minutes of flight time.

    • @ufosaboveus

      Dustin, hope you realize this is not a personal attack. I have viewed dozens of your videos and really enjoy them. I simply felt you missed the mark on this one and tried to share my personal experience and the experiences of many other anafi users I talk to regularly. Many Anafi users fly out to 2 miles and beyond without the drop signal issues you experienced. Some have commented here saying that very thing. The part of the video where you mention losing signal at 500 to 1000 feet with your anafi, that suggests to me there may be some sort of problem as a properly setup and functioning anafi should never drop signal at 500 to 1000 feet even in congested areas. Many viewers watch your videos to help them make buying choices. For those watching this one... I wanted to share my first hand experience since it differed greatly from yours. If you do not wish subscribers to share their real world experience in the comments, let me know and I can delete my comments.

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  5 лет назад +2

      No problem. If you've seen my range test in a residential area you'll see what I mean about how different types and amounts of interference will effect it differently. I have no doubt that others will get different results because interference is variable. I've tested so many Parrot products and I can tell you confidently that range/signal quality is something they can improve. This goes for most if not all of the companies trying to compete with DJI's market dominance & technology. I think this range test was as in-depth as any I've done. The fact that it cannot reconnect video without an app reset or cable replug (as some have stated) is not acceptable to me and another con that needs to be fixed. The reason I show all the weaknesses of the products I review are in hope that companies will improve upon the cons and Pat them selves on their backs with the pros 👍.

    @reconnaissancesquadron222 5 лет назад +2

    If you have telemetry back, RTH clearly working, GPS and battery indications giving information, you should just reboot the application. This usually brings the video feed straight back. Of course switching anything off when your drone is a long way from home feels wrong or even dangerously irresponsible but it isn't. RTH will bring the drone back to grabbing distance even if you throw your controller away. I learned this through much experience and tribulations, including one instance when the drone was hovering seven feet up over the edge of a lake that had been frozen the day before. My son grabbed it out of the air (at full arm's reach) and all was well but thinking it through I should have rebooted the app and controller which would almost certainly have brought everything fully back and I could have just continued with the flight. You just need to ask yourself whether rebooting the app and controller is actually a risk. If you know it is coming home anyway then it isn't a risk. You are right, in an ideal world it wouldn't do this, but it does and Parrot should fix it. It's just not that big a deal.
    I have been running the Anafi on long Flight Plan missions recently which have been losing signal, on one occasion losing signal for around EIGHT MINUTES. The Anafi just continues its mission. The Anafi wants to come home and you can trust it to fly autonomously to continue its Flight Plan mission or to RTH if you lose signal on a manual flight.
    Have you noticed there is HAPTIC FEEDBACK when the RTH kicks in or it re-establishes contact with the drone? This is a great idea from Parrot. If you are regularly pushing the limit of reception you will get to love this sensation. I am expecting to start dreaming of this little buzz as my little friend comes home.

    Heard few people complaining about Anafi launching low 1m. I actually like that for a few reason. If I want to do a test in the room it will not hit the ceiling. Sometimes I want to launch it from my 6th floor balcony. Launching to 2 or 3m is still low for any kind of flying so you have to raise it up high enough anyway. By the rule you cannot fly over people anyway so hitting someone with drone is out of question. We are getting so spoiled - every little thing is a problem :).

I mostly only fly the mavic air now. I'm glad yuneec came out qith thia little quad. I'm hoping the Anafi 2 is a better drone

    Crashed my Anafi on Big Island a couple weeks ago. Absolutely love my Anafi. In my crash I broke 2 arms. Replacement parts seem to be hard to get(in the US atleast). I keep checking Parrot website for the Anafi Mechanical Kit but there is just no info on how to buy. Doesnt list it as out of stock or anything, just nothing. Found a listing on some authorized dealer website but it's on backorder. I ended up having to buy the 2 arms off ebay from from seller in Germany. Unfortunetly the arms were only availble with the motors so it cost me $150 for the 2. I kind of wish I had got a DJI Mavic because there are lots of spare parts available online.

    "..5. Fly your drone at higher altitudes*. As mentioned earlier, the maximum transmission range is reached at higher altitudes. If your drone is far and too close to the ground, the emission zone of the controller might include the ground, creating interferences. To give you an idea, the maximum distance that can be reached is doubled when flying at an altitude of 50m in comparison to an altitude of 20m *... " I think its good to fly even higher than 50m, maybe 80 or 100m.

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  5 лет назад

      Unless by going higher, optimal antenna orientation is sacrificed. Then your just high for no reason. I think the mini PCB patch style antennas on ANAFI are on the feet facing out pushing signal pattern out parallel with the craft. Hundreds of feet higher is actually preventing the optimal signal within the radiation cone. Especially out in the boonies on the side of mountain where there's no RF or mag interference and LOS is not obstructed... as was the case in this test 👍.

    I was flying from the edge of a volcanic crater in Bali and it lost signal (there was some user error because I forgot to turn on airplane mode and a mavic flew directly over my head). I sort of freaked out because I lost video feed and couldn’t see my drone. After a few minutes of panic, I restarted my app and it restored video. I probably should have switched to map mode, but agree that there needs to be better handshake.

    Hi Dustin...love all of your drone reviews. I currently have the Bebop 2 and Bebop 2 power edition and a Disco. I was thinking of acquiring an Anafi but they are rather pricey at the moment. Guess I'll sink some bux in upgrades to the PE and/or disco first. I would really like to do the 4G to the disco or Bebop 2 PE. I'm more confident in flying the Bebop than the Disco :-/

    Brother, although you started at 43 feet relative up on the mountain, you are flying in Helicopter territory once you fly away from Haleakala. I know it's a one in a million chance, but would hate to see a run-in. I love your vids and am going back to BI in Fall. Ever tried to get the Bebop to Big Island from Hana side? It would be fun to send my fixed wing to you from Hawi, have you charge the Packs and send back. Working on a solar paneled wings to extend range. Aloha

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  5 лет назад

      I try to fly more to the left to stay on side of mountain but it's tuff to judge what altitude is when your flying without an AGL reading. I think you mean the Disco for interisland flight? The Bebop is the multirotor which has a max of about 20 mins flight time. Disco can fly for about 2 hours with custom Li-ion batteries 👍

    by the way, the video cut out on RTH. Ever since I updated my Anafi to the latest version, I sometimes get no video on startup. I do believe Parrot will address this bug soon enough. It wasn't there at all in previous rev's.

    A comment about the 2,4 gHz wifi band. A microwave oven also operates in this band. That is because this frequency will excite water molecules. While we humans cannot see through clouds or fog, wifi does only a little better. In your video, there isn't much signal left at 2 miles and the clouds are sucking it dry. You don't have to have clouds to have the effect, high humidity will also work, but rain works even better to absorb the signal. Propellers work best in cold dry air, and so does wifi.

I think that I want to invest in a mini iPad to use with the controller. Do you know which generation mini IPad would be the least system requirements for flying the Mavic 2?
