    New Skydio2 problem

    Actually, yes, the beacon was in the hand that was swinging. But the drone was very close and on visual track at the time so I’m sure it was not related. I believe it visually interpreted the arm swinging as me walking faster and slower.

    New Skydio2 problem

    Well wouldn’t you know it, I managed to test 2 more batteries using app to beacon and had a total of…zero problems. Wow. I tested half a battery with an iPad, and 1 and a half with the original phone which had all of the disconnects. All worked perfectly. Recording was at 1080p on a EUC at...

It frequently disconnects and causes the drone to stop...
