    Smooth Mode

    That looks like a noticeable improvement epsecially when you consider all of the side to side movements. Normally it would be bobbing around but it handled the transitions very well.

    Confirmed - Skydio IS getting out of the consumer market

    Dang, that's too bad. I was really looking forward to the third gen of this bad boy. Now I'll be paranoid about not being able to replace it IF/when it eventually crashes. As much as I love my other drones, none of them can touch this quad's OA right now, so I'll end up keeping it and one day...

    DJI Community is Absolutely Toxic

    Subscribed! Yeah there's no other drone on the planet that would be able to keep up with you there. Skydio is untouchable when it comes to obstacle avoidance and tracking. This last weekend my buddy and I took our drones out and as soon as the trail started twisting he got on his walkie...

    DJI Community is Absolutely Toxic

    I don't think it's fair to compare the Skydio to any other drone on the market. It's nowhere near as good as an Autel or DJI when it comes to straight up flying, photography, or videography. This bad boy is made for tracking plain and simple. I just downgraded my Autel evo2 pro for a Mini 3...

    Wouldn't It Be So Kewl

    My wants. Stable connectivity and extend the range quite a bit. New RC similar to DJI's RC with a display, meaning no phone needed. Better camera because why not. More flight time would also be nice. Overall I want it to be less glitchy. It's the only drone I own where I feel like the ****...

    BEYOND frustrated...

    Yeah the price seems too steep for it. I need a hook plate also, but $50 got me tempted enough to put that towards the cost of my own 3D printer and going down that whole rabbit hole. My hook plate still works but it has a little chip in it that I don't really like flying with. Note: My hook...

    Potential Skydio 2+ purchase question about Sony IMX577 sensor.....

    In terms of obstacle avoidance, it isn't even close. Not sure if that's what you mean. In terms of image quality it's good enough for action. If you're using this in places where you would use an action camera (goPro) then it's great. If you want a sky DSLR then this isn't it. Yeah that's...

    Potential Skydio 2+ purchase question about Sony IMX577 sensor.....

    Yes it did change. The R1 used the NVIDIA Tegra Jetson (TX1), and the S2 uses the Tegra Jetson (TX2). I remember the CEO touting the more powerful SOC (system on a chip) in the S2 over the R1 in a video a couple of years back.

    Major landing trouble

    Smart move. I had a brain fart last weekend and forgot to tell the drone to land. Instead I attempted to grab the drone out of the air and ended up with a good sized cut on my wrist and a drone that landed head down onto some rocks. Thankfully the drone was safe, and the cut wasn't worse than...

    Potential Skydio 2+ purchase question about Sony IMX577 sensor.....

    One other thing I forgot to mention is that someone referenced that the camera module in the Skydio2/2+ is the same as the R1. I think the big difference between the two would be the image processing. Up until today I had no idea that they were the same sensor because files from the R1 look...

    Potential Skydio 2+ purchase question about Sony IMX577 sensor.....

    I think the camera quality is great for what this drone is made for - subject tracking in good light. If you're looking at something to primarily use for photos or videos in low light, then go with something else. For active tracking, I'll take the inferior image quality of the skydio over my...

    Request for part from broken Skydio 2 (3D scan for hook plate now available)

    I'm sure this will fall on deaf ears, but outside of buying a broken drone for parts, has anyone been able to procure one of these hook plates. I also need a cover to one of the shark fin covers because one of mine popped off. Drone will works great, but it's missing it's protective shark fin...

    Final Controller mod, fully enclosed.

    Im wondering if you've noticed any improvements in range or signal strength. Seeing as how signal strength seems to be the Achilles heel of this quad, I figured that at least one other person would be interested in this mod.

    SOLD - In Box S2+ PRO Kit

    That's a steal. Offerup scares me sometimes, but at least his account wasn't new.

    Cannot connect iPad 12.9 to controller

    Oh man, that sucks! Agreed, I love getting out on the trails but if I planned on having my lil' sidekick flying around me only to get there and realize I couldn't because of an sd card, I'd be a little miffed. I was planning on buying a spare micro SD card, and I think you've given me the exact...
