    App removed from the appstore

    I just looked at Play store (not apple) and it appears to be available still.

    Skydio Announces End to Consumer Drone

    The story unfolding with Skydio reminds me of another company that was up against superior marketing: Contour Cameras. The Contour camera was designed as a helmet camera and had laser sights to line up the the shot and a large one button operation that beeped once when recording and twice...

    Crashed Skydio2 and broke Gimbal

    I had almost the same thing happen to me in Bali. Hit a twig and broke the gimble when it fell. (after several minutes of successfully navigation through the jungle) They charged me in total $550 to repair it. It took about 2 and a half weeks. The drone I got back looks and acts brand new...

    DJI Community is Absolutely Toxic

    I just took a look at the website. They state that they are "out of stock". But, for the Enterprise they don't list that as out of stock. Probably because if you ordered that you would get priority over the other orders. It could be exactly as they say, the demand is high enough that they...

    UV Filter?

    Aha, That's useful information. Thanks Ridefreak. I only tried one of the filters. I dont remember which one. I will try a different one next time.

    baksideDisaster 2022/23 Winter Shredding Episodes!

    I have only tried the Skydio while skiing a few times. It got stuck once behind me but I was able to "wand" it back. . After that, I had it lead me. It seemed to do better and I have so far never had to walk back up for it. Europe has pretty strict rules about drones that I haven't quite got...

    baksideDisaster 2022/23 Winter Shredding Episodes!

    I Wish I could ski that area again. Learned to ski at Alpental. Haven't been back since '75. Looks like the skydio was heading for the snow at the end. I'm sure it recovered in its usual way.

    Willing to buy Skydio 2

    Just send it back to Skydio for repair. They will likely charge you much less to have your old one repaired. Then have them ship it to your friend so he can bring it back. Skydio will not ship it to EU directly after the repair.

    Skydio 2 - unsuccessful crash

    After I crashed mine (Broken Gimble, scratches on some cameras, props mangled) I sent it back to Skydio for repair. They charged me a total of $550 to get it fixed. In reality they just sent me a brand new one I think. That's still better than a new drone at least. I sent it in on the 5th of...

    My Skydio videos

    I finally got to do a real test of my Skydio with a dirt bike. It could not handle the higher speeds but otherwise worked like a champ.

    Gimbal stabilization errors

    The first time I tried to mount a filter, it gave me errors and the camera was shaking. I landed and haven't used the filters since. And I have had no problems with this since. I haven't tried them on my replacement drone. (I crashed the first one in the jungle on Bali) But I have not heard...

    Hello from Poland

    Welcome Wojtek! I am next door here in Germany. This forum is a good source to get any questions you might have answered. I am not holding my breath for the EU distribution. Get out there and give it a try

    New Software - 19.0.50/19.0.42 (android)

    I like the idea to lock the beacon buttons. But I wish you could do it with the beacon itself and not have to get out your cell phone..
