Abstract: Even if you have no good reason to justify buying one, you have to admit that drones are cool. Some are glorified tech toys, but the models we highlight here are fit for use in imaging and cinematic applications small and large. If you think you can use a...
Excellent 4K/21-meg camera with zoom, Light and portable, Impressive flight time
No obstacle avoidance, Awkward gimbal control, Slow battery charging
It's too early to say how reliable this smart camera drone is in the long term but there's no doubting that Parrot has pulled off a major doozy with pretty much every element of the ANAFI. It flies exceptionally well, it's got a stonking camera on board a...

4K UHD video at 30 fps, 21MP HDR stills, 180-degree vertical camera, 23-minute battery life, Slim, durable frame
Zero obstacle avoidance, Many flight modes behind a paywall, No backup battery, Tendency to drift randomly
When we started off by saying the Parrot Anafi was rough around the edges, we meant it. Some of Parrot's choices – the maneuverable, magnifying camera and durable, unique body – show meticulous attention to detail and innovation. But, other choices – the...
The Anafi gives with one hand and takes with the other. It can capture great 4K HDR video and detailed photos, but hides away other features behind in-app purchases. There's no obstacle avoidance either, but if you're a confident pilot the Anafi will allo...
Still no collision detection, Shorter range than DJI's Mavic Air
The Anafi is far and away the best drone Parrot has made, with impressive all-round performance. The camera works brilliantly, the battery has decent stamina and the whole thing is helpfully portable and approachable. We still believe the DJI Mavic Air i...

4K HDR camera with 180-degree vertical range, Lightweight and speedy, Unique zoomable lens and automated camera tricks
Controller is bulky and sometimes tricky, Questionable obstacle avoidance, Potential paywall to features
A compact drone that packs a punch, the Parrot Anafi's highlight is its 4K Cinema, 3-axis gimbal camera with 2.8x lossless zoom and 180-degree vertical range. With its 25 minutes of flight time and light foldable frame, Anafi will impress at its price ran...
Clever compact design, Excellent 4K camera, Easy to fly, Straightforward mobile app
No collision avoidance tech, Shorter transmission range than DJI Mavic Air, No indoor stabilisation, Lossless zoom isn't lossless
I'm genuinely excited by the Parrot Anafi. I've been worried for a while that DJI was going to continue to dominate the consumer drone space unchallenged, but the Anafi looks like it could come in and seriously shake things up. It brings some seriously im...
