My experience with Parrot is they offer their packages "non-upgradable." I have the straight Anafi and wanted to purchase the new FPV glasses. I have the Bebop 2 FPV also and always preferred the #2 style glasses which are more compact. They refused to sell them out of the package deal. Likewise, the Anafi FPV Glasses 3 are not available separately. (But I have recently found an "identical" off-brand pair online and with slight modification will operate just like theirs.) My point being, Parrot is not interested in allowing users to "upgrade" their drones by selling other than repair parts. I could only assume buying the TI cam from them would be impossible. It is not an "in-app" mod. I believe the camera and software for that purpose are built in to their singular product and will never be for sale separately. That's not to say a third party won't come up with a solution but I wouldn't waste my time begging' Parrot for it!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is no option for thermal imaging/infrared with the Parrot Anafi. The "Parrot Anafi USA" is a separate model that offers optical and thermal imaging, and a water resistance rating, at a cost of 7,000 USD. There is a "signal booster" modification that can be purchased online through alienware, but this modification will likely void the warranty, and the Skycontroller 3 that is included works just fine, especially if you follow the laws of 400 feet maximum elevation (unless in controlled airspace, then it's lower) and keeping "visual line of sight" when flying. I highly recommend getting a Part 107 FAA license, which can be done online for $150. You will not only learn about the airspace your are flying in, but you'll learn the legal responsibilities of operating a small UAS.
