Yeah, no max size that I have found, I use a 2TB card now.

It doesn’t make it more competitive but may be an indication that it is competitive.

To be honest I’m not criticizing either their technology choices or pricing, I’m just irritated that they have decided up front to refuse to sell to the people who got them this far. I have the money and experience and might actually buy one, so refusing to sell me one is both an insult to me...

I was surprised this morning to be told by Skydio that even if you wanted to spend the extra money, they’re not planning to even make the X2 available to existing non-enterprise customers - it was described as “reserved for larger-scale operations which include Skydio X2 and the new Enterprise...

I was surprised and very disappointed this morning to be told by Skydio that they’re not planning to make the X2 available to existing customers, only to large enterprises in large orders - it was described as “reserved for larger-scale operations which include Skydio X2 and the new Enterprise...

Great idea though.

Thanks for raising awareness Mike, please make another shirt for the same campaign to donate but with a more educational bent (something a guy could wear around his elementary school aged kids...) and I will certainly buy one!

I’m not aware of it having that functionality but I’ve had it not want to go up until I moved a bit horizontally, did you try flying 20 feet in any direction and then going up? Otherwise I’d call support.

You can definitely fly higher than 10m with the controller, are you talking about with the beacon?

Fair enough. They’ve been helpful and responsive for me, maybe they’re like that for everyone, but I’m happy with the service I’ve received so far in any event.

I have not seen any response from Skydio on it though - has anyone gotten anything from them on it that they can repeat? One of the interesting Qs in my mind is that they tell you that in order to avoid interference and dropping the connection to the drone you should put your phone in airplane...

I got it with the Pro Kit. My first drone had a hardware issue and it was replaced promptly (and before they had received mine back) once we tried a few things to confirm it wasn’t anything I was doing.

I was wondering about this too...

Me neither.

Yeah, mine was trying to land on a surface (in bushes) that would likely not have permitted a smooth landing. I now use a 1TB card and don’t have the concern anymore...
