Parrot is the first drone manufacturer, and in 2010, it developed the quadcopter drone AR.Drone, announcing its entry into the drone camp. Different from DJI's focus on aerial photography, Parrot has positioned drones as entertainment consumer products from the very beginning, and is committed to flight research, which is easy to learn and entertaining. With the gradual maturity of drone technology, Parrot has developed a large series of drones. Parrot's consumer drones include the "Mambo" and "Anafi" series of aircraft, which are primarily tailored for children and beginner pilots.
Mambo series
The drone is not only suitable for enthusiasts to shoot videos, but also many players play it as a model aircraft. Parrot company has a new idea, launched the first racing drone Mambo FPV, the price is about 1000 yuan, the cost dictates, the fuselage is not equipped with high-quality lenses, but it increases the gameplay of the aircraft, the whole set of drones is equipped with grabbers, marble turrets, lighting lamps 3 module accessories, can grab pieces of paper, small coins or become marble turrets, launch marbles, so that toy drones from a simple aircraft into interesting playthings.
Mambo FPV is a four-rotor drone, flexible and compact, suitable for use in windless environments and wide spaces, with the special glasses in the package, support FPV first-person flight experience, the body is equipped with HD lens, the image will be directly transmitted to the mobile phone, insert the mobile phone into the glasses, you can get the first-person picture of the drone, but the resolution is low and with a large time delay, only suitable for early adopters. The Mambo FPV is extremely simple to handle, controlled by twin joysticks, and has an automatic take-off and landing function, making it ideal for kids.
Anafi series
The Anafi is Parrot's first foldable quadcopter, similar to DJI's "Mavic" series, with only a slightly larger volume than the DJI Mavic mini when the arms are folded. Anafi is compatible with chargers with different output powers, so you don't have to worry about finding a specific charger, and it is highly versatile.
Anafi is easier to operate than DJI, with a 3-axis gimbal camera that supports automatic target tracking and 4K video. The price of Anafi is 4888 yuan, which is close to the Mavic Air 2, compared to the lack of obstacle avoidance technology in Anafi, the control during flight is particularly important, and you need to pay extra attention to the flight environment to avoid bombing. Parrot subsequently released the FPV version (first-person view) and the thermal imaging version of Anafi, the former is equivalent to the purchase of additional goggles, and the latter can be used in environmental protection and disaster prevention, with a price of between 5,000-6,000 yuan.
