Buddy of mine has a DJI Mavic Pro and it’s amazing, supposedly the Antifa.. er,.. Anafi is equivalent.

I've been watching as many Anafi videos as I can find and it appears the two are quite close except the Anafi doesn't have "obstacle avoidance".......Don't know if that's a major concern or not.

The Mavic Pro is several hundred dollars more so that's a major problem for me.

All in all, the Anafi has been rated really well......especially for the camera quality.

Thanks

Obstacle avoidance = proximity sensor.
The Mavic’s works pretty good, but I can live without it for a few hundred dollars.

I need to lay hands on the Anafi controller before I commit though.
So far it only references “phone” for use as viewscreen.
That’s too small, I want to use the Ipad, like the Bebop
controller allows.

Still and all, it’s a hella nice GPS drone (either one) for the price.

The biggest challenge I had in upgrading from the Walmart
drone to the Parrot GPS drone was trust in the instruments
and flying without having an eye on the aircraft.

The Walmart drone has minimal instruments and half your
time is spent trimming the thing into a state of stability.
Look away too long and it'll wander off somewhere and wreck itself.

When I got the Parrot, I was paranoid as hell to let the thing out
of my sight for maybe a month. Ultimately I got to trust that it
wasn't going to wander off and the instruments were accurate
and sufficient to maintain control. That opened up a whole new vista, tell you what.

The mighty Walmart drone:
