FreeFlight 6 4+

Not sure why this is getting low stars. Are people THAT mad because you have to pay $.99 for a couple of flight modes. Sure I’d love for them to be free but you just spent $700 on a drone. What’s $2? Order a water at lunch instead of a soda. Maybe it’s the DJI sheep hating on Parrot. Oh well. They can fly a crappy machine if they want.

App is extremely intuitive but deep at the same time. The ONLY thing I can say semi-negative about the Anafi is the memory card storage slot. This is well documented. This is the only change they need to make to this machine. Everything else including the app is perfect.

I ve been using FF on my iphone and it works well and reliably as long as the phone is placed in airplane mode whIch is always a good idea when flying a drone.

I also tried using it on an iPad running iOS 10.3.3, just to download files but the app crash whenever i try to access the SD card. No issue accessing the card from the iphon using iOS 11

While not a FF issue but a drone issue, i cannot use video clips in iMovie unless i edit them in camera roll first. Annoying.

Missing features:

You can not save video files to the camera roll Pictures, yes... videos no. If you airdrop them to another iOS device (one by one...) they will save to that device cam roll just fine

You can not select multiple files to save the camera roll or airdrop. You have to do it picture by picture. Waste of time!

While the app record basic flight data, it doesnt record distance from controller which is important to evaluate interference and reliability.

No way to select speed units, like mph, kmh or knots. You only get mps or fps.

I’ve really enjoyed the design of FF6. I’m relatively new to drones, but have an strong aviation background. I’ve built a few 500 size drones running ardupilot firmware and mission planner for the GCS.

FF6 makes flying easy and fun. I had the drone flying indoors after a few minutes of unpacking the drone.

The whole family loves the video quality of the 4k anafi.

The numeric values are a little hard to read on the smaller iOS devices, but intuitive to use. The one feature that I use with ardupilot that appears to be missing is an “auto” mode that knows the gcs/vehicle relative positions and controls roll relative to the remote pilot perspective instead of drone orientation.

All in all, a very nice designed GCS UI. I’m looking forward to playing around with the dev api.

Stability of the image and hover position of the anafi is excellent. I’m guessing there is some video flow stabilization happening.
