Parrot Anafi review: A compact drone that’s blind as a bat
/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F828886%2F1b06566b-69b1-4354-8e8d-b540d5f489e3.jpg)
Parrot Anafi
$699.99
The Good
Foldable • lightweight design • Easy-to-use controls • Robust battery with 20-minute flight time • Great camera with a full gimbal
The Bad
No obstacle avoidance • No internal storage • In-app purchases for traditional drone features • Hovering at low altitudes is tough
The Bottom Line
It’s disappointing that Parrot’s latest drone, the Anafi, lacks many features, including obstacle avoidance. But the camera and easy-to-use controls make up for a lot.
