Parrot · Enterprise drone · Released June 2020
The ANAFI USA grew out of a US Army reconnaissance drone contract Parrot won in 2019, and it went on sale in June 2020. Parrot builds it in the US, and it's on the Blue UAS list and NDAA and TAA compliant, which is why public agencies can buy it. The gimbal carries two 21 MP cameras that share a 32x zoom and a FLIR Boson thermal camera, and the whole drone weighs 500 g and is IP53-rated against dust and rain. French, Swedish and British forces use it, and you'll see USA, SE, GOV and MIL versions with different controllers. Most used ones come out of agency fleets, so check the batteries and the case.

Should come with it
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.
Faults aren't widely documented. Parrot publishes a procedure for realigning the visible and thermal cameras when their images drift apart, and an encrypted SD card can't be read without the seller's key.
New to used drones? How to check a used drone covers batteries, gimbals and crash damage, and Remote ID and registration explains what the FAA expects once it’s yours.
