Parrot Anafi
£629.99 parrot.com
Many brands have tried and failed to take on DJI’s rock-steady fleet of premium camera drones. Paris-based Parrot pretty much started the whole consumer drone trend when it launched the popular AR Drone way back in 2010, so it’s no surprise that Parrot is the one to now come closest to knocking DJI out of the sky with the insectoid Anafi. It’s roughly £139 cheaper than its nearest DJI rival, the Mavic Air, yet boasts almost as much ground-breaking tech in a similarly portable package. Is this too good to be true?
Lighter than (Mavic) Air
At just 320g the Parrot Anafi is now one of the lightest camera-equipped drones on the market, and that’s a major benefit should it ever fall out of the sky, since it’s less likely to sustain major damage… In theory, anyway.
