Parrot Anafi

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 $200 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?
