Parrot ANAFI Review and Buying Guide
The original Parrot ANAFI is a lightweight folding camera drone known for its 21 MP camera, 4K video and unusually wide gimbal tilt range. It is a legacy model, so buyers should check availability, app compatibility and repair support before purchasing. This guide is based on Parrot’s published specifications, not independent hands-on testing.
Parrot ANAFI specifications
| Specification | Parrot ANAFI |
|---|---|
| Aircraft weight | 320 g |
| Folded dimensions | 244 × 67 × 65 mm |
| Unfolded dimensions | 175 × 240 × 65 mm |
| Camera sensor | 1/2.4-inch CMOS |
| Photo resolution | 21 MP wide; 16 MP rectilinear |
| Photo formats | JPEG and DNG (RAW) |
| Maximum video | 4K UHD at 24/25/30 fps; 4K Cinema at 24 fps |
| Maximum video bitrate | 100 Mbps |
| Stabilisation | 3-axis hybrid: 2-axis mechanical plus 3-axis electronic stabilisation |
| Controllable gimbal tilt | -90° to +90° |
| Maximum rated flight time | 25 minutes |
| Maximum horizontal speed | 15 m/s (55 km/h) |
| Maximum vertical speed | 4 m/s |
| Maximum wind resistance | 50 km/h |
| Maximum transmission range | Up to 4 km with Skycontroller 3 |
| Satellite positioning | GPS and GLONASS |
| Battery | 2,700 mAh, 7.6 V, USB-C charging |
| Operating temperature | -10°C to 40°C |
These are manufacturer-published maximum or nominal figures. Flight time, transmission distance and wind performance depend on test conditions, battery condition, radio environment, local regulations and flight behaviour.
Camera and video
The camera uses a 1/2.4-inch CMOS sensor and an f/2.4 lens. Parrot lists 21 MP wide photographs, 16 MP rectilinear images, JPEG and DNG RAW formats, and 4K UHD video at up to 30 fps. 4K Cinema recording is available at 24 fps. The maximum video bitrate is 100 Mbps. Its hybrid stabilisation combines mechanical roll and tilt stabilisation with electronic stabilisation, while the camera can tilt from -90° to +90°. This upward-looking capability is a distinctive creative feature.
Flight performance
The aircraft weighs 320 g and has a published maximum flight time of 25 minutes. Parrot lists maximum horizontal speed of 15 m/s, maximum vertical speed of 4 m/s, maximum wind resistance of 50 km/h and up to 4 km transmission distance with Skycontroller 3. These are manufacturer figures under specified conditions; actual range and flight time vary with environment, radio regulations, battery condition and operator technique.
Navigation and operation
Parrot lists GPS and GLONASS satellite positioning, a downward camera and ultrasound sensor for vertical positioning, and a Skycontroller 3 option. The downward positioning sensors support hovering and low-altitude positioning; they are not an omnidirectional obstacle-avoidance system. Pilots should inspect the flight area, maintain visual awareness and avoid relying on sensors to detect every obstacle.
Who is it for?
The ANAFI may interest photographers who value its upward gimbal angle, RAW stills and compact form. It is less suitable for buyers who need modern omnidirectional obstacle sensing, current-generation transmission or guaranteed long-term manufacturer support.
Advantages and buying checks
- Advantages: 21 MP stills, 4K UHD HDR video, DNG support, USB-C charging and a 180-degree gimbal tilt range.
- Limitations: legacy platform, downward positioning rather than full obstacle avoidance, and a 25-minute maximum rated flight time.
- Check before purchase: battery health, controller inclusion, app and phone compatibility, replacement-part availability and local used-drone condition.
IGIDRONE verdict
The original ANAFI remains an interesting lightweight camera drone for specific creative needs, especially upward-angle filming. Its age makes condition and support checks essential. Compare it with newer compact drones before deciding whether its distinctive camera movement outweighs the limitations.
