    Skydio 2+ Over Water Flying - Raw Run - Tips and Tricks

    Panorama Question

    Hi folks. Looking for some guidance please. When I first updated at the release of the Panorama skill, I could see on the app that I had the option to choose vertical, horizontal and spherical from that skill.

    Over in Qld. Been an effort to make the purchase. I’ll have a look at that for insurance. Do they have a max timeframe to sign up (like Care)? EDIT - Just looked at their site and it seems to cater for commercial use, not recreational. Is that your experience?

    Thanks for the tip. However, I live in a country that doesn’t yet sell to consumers - only Enterprise. I’ll just be extra careful! 😉

    I'll be taking possession of my new Skydio 2+ soon. Is there any pearls of wisdom or experiential learnings that you could share with me so I avoid any unnecessary frustration? I'm getting the Cinematic kit - I like to still fly a drone (and want to learn Keyframes), but also keen to use the...
