Customers praise the ANAFI Extended Drone with Skycontroller for its exceptional camera quality, ease of use, and quiet operation. Many appreciate its compact size and portability, along with the impressive flight time and stability. However, some users point out the lack of obstacle avoidance as a significant drawback. Issues with the SD card slot were also reported by a few customers.
I have had the Extended for about 2 weeks now and Purchased it at BestBuy. It is my first drone and have been reading the manual, viewing online reviews and videos, and applicable FAA regulations. It has no object avoidance sensors so be very careful if you fly it close to trees or bushes. I have lightly crashed it on a couple of occasions while trying to figure out the controls and damaged some of the props. It was easy to replace them with the extra props included in the extended version, which also includes 2 extra batteries (total of 3 batteries) and a great storage bag. I have the Anafi with the Skycontroller connected to my iphone and the software is very comprehensive, feature rich and smooth. Image quality is excellent (see attached photo). This drone is easy to operate, has 25 minutes of flight time and it is very low noise. People around me hardly notice I am flying a drone. I am very happy with the Anafi and would buy it again.

Great drone, I've owned previous drones along with the Parrot Bebop drone and this unit is miles better than past models. The camera on this drone is great and the ability to change angels 180 degrees is a nice addition. The flight time is also much better than previous parrot products, I haven't pushed it for the full flight time but can have done multiple over 20 minutes without pushing it to zero. The carrying case that comes with the extended model is also very nice to have making it easy to haul the drone with you anywhere. Only complaints on the drone is the size of the controller. Phones with a case will not fit in the controller, you will have to take your case off. I prefer to fly with an iPad as well which past models would hold but still works with the product. I would suggest getting the extended pack as it provides you with three batteries. The charging of the batteries is a little slow and takes over an hour so having three should give you plenty of flight time.

Great quality drone for the money! I'm thrilled with the photo and video quality from the Anafi. Very stable and easy to fly. I've flown in winds over 25 mph with no issues at all. I've been learning the "dronies" (automated features) and they give awesome results. I've found the at the 5.8 ghz setting works best in urban environments when there is a lot of wi-fi interference. I've flown up to 400 foot elevation and quite a distance away (while still maintaining visual line of sight) and am impressed with the Anafi.
