Parrot’s Answer to DJI’s Portable Mavic Drone

The Anafi includes a controller that plugs into an iPhone or Android device, for touchscreen visualizations via the FreeFlight 6 smartphone app.  It has various modes and can follow you and shoot selfies. Techcrunch.com comments that, “…at first glance, it appears as though it might not be as advanced as DJI’s latest stab at creating a truly mainstream drone.” The Anafi will retail for $699, $100 less than the Mavic Air. It will be available July 1 from Amazon, Parrot and “select retailers.”
