When it comes to consumer UAVs, perhaps most people first think of DJI, but there are actually more brands for users to choose from, including Parrot from Paris, France. This technology company, which is famous for UAVs, not only has consumer UAV business, but also covers the Internet of Things, automotive industry solutions and other businesses. Parrot is not so much a UAV manufacturer as an innovative company providing Internet solutions.

Although Parrot has set foot in a wide range of businesses, it has never given up the consumer UAV business, but its business mainly covers Europe and the United States, Asia, especially the mainland of China, and has not carried out large-scale promotion, which is one of the reasons why Parrot is unknown.

Fortunately, Parrot began to attach importance to the Chinese market in the past half year, and recently brought its latest four axis aerial camera UAV ANAFI to Chinese users. As the latest consumer UAV of Parrot, ANAFI has the greatest feature of being light, with an overall weight of only 320g, which is only one of the lightest UAVs at present. In addition, it has the characteristics of super portability, easy folding, good noise control, etc.

In addition to bringing the ANAFI UAV, Parrot also launched the ANAFI Extended package at the same time, which includes the dedicated ANAFI UAV+Skycontroller 3 controller+three batteries+16G TF card+eight sets of standby spiral blades+shoulder bag, of which three batteries can provide ANAFI with a maximum endurance of 75 minutes at a time.

When it comes to batteries, we have to mention the unique battery design of ANAFI. Other brands either charge the body or charge the battery+charging base. ANAFI chose to design the USB-C charging jack on the battery. That is to say, when used outdoors, the newly replaced empty battery can be charged immediately with the charging bank. What, the charging speed is slow? No, the battery of ANAFI adopts the PD fast charging standard. As long as your power bank supports the PD standard, the fast charging starts every minute.

However, compared with the above features, the biggest feature of ANAFI left for the author is that the camera can rotate 180 degrees, that is, it can be vertically downward or vertically upward to achieve elevation/depression shooting, which can provide more shooting methods and lens language. For users who like to shoot vlog, it is a good choice for rich materials. In addition, ANAFI also provides 4K video shooting, which is the first UAV of the same price to provide this function. In actual measurement, HDR+mode can be turned on when shooting, which can provide a wider dynamic range for video, especially when the light conditions are relatively strong, HDR+records more picture information, more materials are available, and post processing is more convenient for editing.

In order to explore the Chinese market, Parrot has also recently opened the ANAFI aerial photography contest, recording an unforgettable moment with "God's perspective". The theme is optional, as long as it can show the effect of ANAFI aerial photography. Through this aerial photography contest, more friends will see the wonderful world and more users will know about Parrot UAVs. The contest results will be announced on January 18, 2019. Interested children can learn about Parrot on the newly upgraded Chinese official website.
