I mean, skydio was already kind of rubbing me the wrong way with how buggy everything has been. Consumers have definitely seemed like an after thought. But the fact that they were using consumers to get enough capital so they could get their foot in the door of the more lucrative government...

Honestly the skydio 2 is clunky. The autonomy is cool at first, but the drone flies like a boat. This is basically them throwing in the towel and admitting their drones will never meet consumer needs/demands. And besides, why deal with complaining consumers, when you have governments that will...

According to Brendan Schulman (@dronelaws): "Among the more interesting tidbits from #XPO23 that I learned from reliable sources is that a major US drone manufacturer is going to exit the consumer market, to focus only on enterprise/government/military. Just as happened with @Parrot, actually...

Might just be easier to buy a drone with remote id support. But the only other non skydio 2 drones skydio made was the r1. And that wasn't widely sold. I have one, but the skydio 2 is much nicer in general compared to the r1.

Skydio consumer and enterprise drones will be Remote ID compliant by the required FAA deadlines (September 2022 for manufacturers and September 2023 for operators). Skydio will enable Standard Remote ID compliance through software updates. No hardware modifications will be required. That applies...

The skydio 2 makes noise as it heats up while charging, it sounds like it has fans that run to try to cool it, when it is not actively flying.

According to skydio, basically it is the same as the old manual mode, except it won't put the blue tracker buttons over people and vehicles. So it makes for a nicer flying experience.

Skydio had to have had these new drones in the pipeline for awhile, but instead they decided to give consumers a non folding, poor range drone, that can't fly at night. I mean seriously, consumers have wanted these features since the R1, but instead they decide to sell them to enterprise users...

I love how they are artificially limiting who can buy one by marketing it to just "enterprise". All the features consumers wanted skydio 2 to have. But sorry, nope, only enterprise business can buy those features. Gee, thanks skydio.

Pretty sure it did. Not sure when/how it stopped.

If I had to guess, something is probably defective with the controller. Since the beacon in manual mode doesn't have the same problems.
