Parrot Anafi, FPV Demo [4K]

The recent release of DJI FPV has reminded me the "FPV" feature that has been released on Parrot Anafi drone more than a year ago. A new Cockpit Glasses for first person view and a new "Arcade" flight control mode were added. The gimbal horizon can be unlocked during roll bank turn. These allow an immersive flight experience very similar to what FPV drones give. After a couple of flights, I found the control is pretty intuitive. Racing preset gives a good sense of speed around 50km/h max but this is still far slower than what a real FPV drone can go. The dive speed is even slower. Besides, since I do not have ND filter so the motion blur is not natural in the video. Despite that, this is a cool feature which has previously been overlooked. I shall definitely try to use this more with my Anafi in the future.
近日DJI出了新的FPV機,掀起了一片熱潮,突然想起Anafi年多前都出了一個"FPV"飛行模式,之前都沒有認真去玩,就趁熱鬧試一試。Anafi的FPV主要是靠Arcade Control Mode控制,飛行操作與Standard Mode截然不同,令飛行軌跡控制更易,亦可在settings解除鏡頭水平鎖定,重現Roll bank的動作。
初步試玩後發覺Arcade Mode操作十分容易,如果要有速度感就非選Racing不可,但極速都只不過是50km/h左右,比真正FPV機要慢很多,如果做dive動作就更慢,除此之外,因為沒有用ND filter,在高速下未能造出較自然的video motion blur。
總括來說,Anafi的FPV並不能與真的穿越機比擬,但就可以提供多一個模式拍攝,以後可以多加利用。

    Hello, Thanks for making this Anafi series. How do you eliminate the image shimmering that anafi usually produces? Many of my videos are unusable, due to the smeared/shivering image that anafi produces, especially around trees. thanks!

    Hey Ray, Anafis usually fall in the water, fly over any specular surface is prohibited, is written in the manual with a little size font. My Anafi fall in the water with guarantee but the company reject my reclaim because of this

    I am sorry to hear your experience. When taking off or hovering the water surface may confuse the sensors at the bottom of the drone to maintain the altitude. But when it is set in motion I don't think flying over water has a problem, as you can see from my video.

    The mine was in motion and previously several times the Anafi was flying over water, I can’t understand I’ve recovered the drone from the bottom of the lake, but Parrot said that there’s no way, this drone can’t fly over water, I argument that Parrot have promotional videos over the water, but nothing, they answer me that this info is in the manual and is true. :( Thanks for your answer, I have all the emails,from Parrot :(

    That sucks! It was an excuse. Have you recorded the whole flight? I do that every single flight. The screen recording video helped me to claim replacement successfully as I can show it was a malfunction of the product. At the end, the support staff has a company procedure to follow. Having some hard evidence is making everyone's life easier.

    Yes, I also recover the video in the SD card. :(. I’ll sent all the videos, the location and the fly log, they told me that flying over specular surface can results in unexpected behavior. After several and several emails they closed my case.

    Parrot first answer: If the drone is flown over water, the ultrasonic sensor gets malfunctioned and the drone acts on its own. Due to the operating mode of its vertical camera and ultrasound sensor, Parrot recommends you do NOT fly ANAFI over water and other reflective surfaces (mirrors, glass, and so on). This stated in Anafi user guide page 25 (download the user guide here: www.parrot.com/us/support/products/anafi) In Parrot's Terms and conditions of sales, it's stated "The commercial guarantee is excluded for damage consequent on improper use or poor handling, incorrect use, a modification or deterioration of the Product caused by a fall or accidental impact, a landing in an unsuitable place, defective installation, a Product modification without the prior consent of Parrot Drones, humidity, inadequate temperature, exposure to a source of heat, excessive pressure, strong wind, rain or atmosphere humidity, sudden changes in altitude, oxidation, the ingress of liquid, dust, sand, breakage, a fall, or the use of inappropriate electrical current, loss of connection with the Product" The advertisement made by professional pilots in specific conditions and doesn't apply to consumer levels.

    I personally dont see the point in flying in FPV mode with the Anafi... there are too many control limitations to make it look interesting and edgy. that said, it is a fun experience and I do enjoy messing around with FPV.

    Agreed that Anafi is not a real FPV drone and it doesn't do those moves. It can only imitate to a certain extend. It is fun to get a taste of that with a drone I already have.
