    Battery Life

    I have had my Skydio2 since February. I charge my batteries two weeks ago using the dedicated charger. I flew today and notice both batteries had discharged themselves over 25%. Are other people seeing a similar problem? A bit frustrating.

    What is mode switch in progress??

    My Skydio has the latest firmware. While using the controller and taking still photos (DNG) as I pushed the button on the controller sometimes on the (android) screen was the message "mode switch in progress". What does the message mean? Seems the photos are okay. Just not sure what the message...

    RTL Tests

    You need to understand what skydio return to land does. It DOES NOT LAND it just returns close by and hovers about 10 feet. It returns within a few feet of where it took off from provided you do not change the location on the map. Once hovering you can send it back out or press and hold the...

    RTL Tests

    It does seem better. Before it would suddenly go like a house on fire not in what looked like the most direct route back. Seems to be a bit more intelligent. The return to home with Skydio is a bit different anyway. It returns to the home point and hovers about 8 to 10 feet. You can then move it...

    Altitude not even close

    Can it go below the sea? Says I'm minus 4 feet below the ground. Look at the top right bottom number. I even made it to minus 7 feet without taking a breath. I have read that the numbers are based on where it took off from. I was not 7 feet higher. Only seen it this bad since the update.

    Where are and What's in the log files

    Hi all Looking to find where the skydio logs are kept and what is in them and are they human readable or "digital goob" that only Skydio can read. I'm trying to have a easy way to capture flight conditions, review a gimbal malfunction and keep all my logs. I'm using an Android phone and did...

    Did You Get the Controller?

    Did get the controller and bought the kicker and larger phone add on from a third party. While the controller is not state of the art it works well and I enjoy it. Did not buy the beacon. Really wanted for photography and video. Very happy.

    Controller and the Apple Pro Max

    They work great. I have an android in a case no problem. He makes it so you can cut out part of the insert so you can take something that is thicker. The kicker and device to shut the battery off work well. I ordered a second pair in case.

    Economy Skydio 2 Case

    I did get the case and i like it. The front clips have a middle push in and then you can lift the snaps. Everything fits well and snug which is good from a fall out and raddle perspective. It was $ 99 on amazon with a guaranteed return for me. I'm keeping it.

    Economy Skydio 2 Case

    Has anyone tried these guys? Amazon.com : Skyreat Waterproof Hard Carrying Case Compatible with Skydio 2 Drone : Electronics I did my own case but the foam is a PIA to say the least. Was going to buy the glue and spend more time but found this while searching.

    Setting Home Point

    Sorry for the nube question. I'm using the controller. From what I have read once you launch the Skydio you can then set the home point. You do that by pressing the map icon on the phone (lower right) and picking a spot on the map. I have not had any luck doing it this way. Any help will be...
