Parrot announced the ANAFI Ai on June 30, 2021, and called it the first consumer drone to fly mainly over a 4G link. With a SIM card in the drone, it switches from Wi-Fi to 4G when the radio link fades, which Parrot sells as flying without a range limit. The frame was almost entirely redesigned around a big heat sink, the camera moved up to a 48 MP sensor, and the obstacle sensing uses two cameras on a gimbal that swings forward, up and down, one direction at a time. Parrot aims it at mapping and inspection, with Pix4D flight planning built in. It flies only from FreeFlight 7 on iOS.

Before you fly
The rules, the lock and what it pairs with
Takeoff weight: 898 g, register it
Remote IDBuilt-in Remote ID
The ANAFI Ai is on the FAA's Remote ID Declaration of Compliance list, and FreeFlight 7 has a setting to broadcast its Direct Remote ID. At 898 g it must be registered with the FAA however you fly it.
Account lock
Parrot doesn't document an ownership lock, and it says the ANAFI Ai shares no data by default. For 4G flying, Parrot's servers record which user is paired with the drone after a first pairing over Wi-Fi, so you'll pair it again. Ask the seller to delete their data in FreeFlight 7 and take out their SIM card.
Controller
It ships with the Parrot Skycontroller 4, which carries both Wi-Fi and 4G and holds phones and tablets up to 8 inches. Check it's in the photos, with the USB-C cables for charging and pairing.
App and firmware
FreeFlight 7, which Parrot says is available on iOS only (iOS 12 or later). Plan on an iPhone or iPad before you buy.
Should come with it
The Skycontroller 4
Spare smart batteries (6800 mAh packs)
The multi-port USB-PD charger
The hard case
Check the listing photos against this list, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing piece should come off the price.
What to check
Faults aren't widely documented. The limits are by design, since FreeFlight 7 runs only on iOS, 4G needs your own SIM and coverage, and the obstacle cameras watch one direction at a time.
01iOS device: Check you have an iPhone or iPad on iOS 12 or later. FreeFlight 7 isn't available on Android.
02Controller: Check the Skycontroller 4 is in the photos. It's the only controller for the Ai's 4G link.
03SIM and data: Ask the seller to remove their SIM and delete their data in FreeFlight 7. The SIM slot should be empty and ready for yours.
04Batteries: Ask how many batteries come with it and look at each one from the side in the photos. They should sit flat, with no bulge or split seams.
05Cameras: Zoom in on the main camera and the obstacle-sensing cameras in the photos. The glass should be clean and unscratched.
06Crash history: Ask if it's ever crashed, and check the arms, props and body in the photos. You want no cracks and no mismatched replacement parts.
07Registration: Plan to register it with the FAA before the first flight. Turn on Remote ID broadcast in FreeFlight 7 and add its serial to your registration.
Only three ANAFI Ais are listed, so there's no band to speak of. The one sold as working is new at $5,483 delivered, titled no returns, and the same seller has a used one at $4,535 delivered sold as-is, also with no returns, so you carry the risk on either. It has built-in Remote ID (turn on broadcast in FreeFlight 7), and at 898 g it must be registered with the FAA however you fly it. FreeFlight 7 runs on iOS only, so plan on an iPhone or iPad, and ask any seller to delete their data in FreeFlight 7 and take out their SIM card. Skip the $3,300 one from a zero-feedback seller in Spain, which ships by freight with no shipping quoted.
