    Pro pilot/ Skydio newb

    One tip I can throw out, don't expect it to fly like other 'controller' drones. The Skydio2 strong point is it's ability to control itself. I have a few DJI units myself. DJI handle well, but their auto modes are ok. Skydio controller handle ok, but auto mode is Phenomenal. I only say this...

    Odd tracking behavior

    New Update Was A Big Mistake

    Hearing this makes me think the time saved is due to the beacon not having to re-find the gps location like it always does on initial start up.

    It's very possible that is what it did. I'm not sure if it would have fully descended, I went back and passed it without knowing I went by it. It appeared to be descending towards me in the footage I edited. I'll have to go back to Corkscrew and try it again :>

    New Firmware! Everything I asked for!

    I tried to update my app, it says it's up to date 7.0.30. I'll wait and try again later. And yes, I'm connected to the internet when I try it.
