Parrot's latest drone is absolutely not for photographers, videographers, and other sundry dilettantes. Its latest Anafi model is far more capable than its consumer models. It's built to fly in inclement weather for one, and offers loads of zoom power and thermal imaging for surveillance, search-and-rescue, and industrial inspections.
But while the regular Anafi goes for around $700, the Anafi USA is priced at a staggering $7,000. It's a big jump, but there are reasons for business customers to consider spending the money.
Portable and flies in the rain
The Anafi USA is a small, foldable drone with a nose-mounted camera, and—in a first for Parrot—an airframe that can fly in the rain. It's small enough to slide into a backpack or messenger bag when folded, and weighs just over a pound. The battery is rated for 32 minutes of flight time.
The camera has three lenses, so it can record standard wide-angle video, zoom in to a tight 32x telephoto view, and record heat signatures in its thermal view. The thermal view is especially important for niche applications—it can spot lost hikers, heat leaks, fires, and other hot spots.
For customers concerned about data security, Parrot states that the drone will only work if its software is properly signed with a certificate. Data encryption is also available as an option, so someone who finds a downed aircraft won't be able to simply view the footage stored in memory.
Parrot expects the Anafai USA to ship on August 11.
