Hi ETdronehome, Sorry, I gave up on the thread after seeing on this and other threads the general defensiveness of the forums. So, thank you for your kind email. There's no virtual substitute for being in the mountains! The pixelation occurs at any range, even 100-200', so IDK what is going...

Hi, We did, and in fact kept the 2 for comparison after seeing the 2+ not go any further in familiar locations. Directly compared both of them, and found that in our locations, no benefit in range, and in fact significantly poorer live video connection. It was sleuthed to apparently be the...

Thanks. I found the section that refers to this area of discussion in your first link. values represent the max height and distance from the subject being tracked, not the maximum operational altitude the maximum height of Skydio 2/2+ when not tracking a subject is 426 feet (130 meters) from...

correct, can't go above approx 30' w/o 15 satellites locked. which means on a trail with trees on both sides but blue skies above, cannot go high enough to get 15 satellites. catch 22. same thing applies on trail with rock outcroppings or cliff on one side.

resurrecting this topic. I've been going back and forth with Skydio support. Apparently, in any mode, manual or tracking, there is a low high limit if the drone has less than 15 satellites in lock. I spend all of my time forested mountains. The earlier software loads on the Skydio 2...

Hi, thanks for your kind note. The conditions vary for pixelation (spelling?) occurrences from fairly open with sporadic trees, to sometimes many trees. Looking ahead is usually flying over the trees to see what is ahead on a trail to avoid troublesome situations for the wheelchair (or...

Skydio says that they don't know. But, they said we can return if it we want, but not a replacement (i.e. its not faulty). They say all of the bad performance is explained by interference, but same location, same time, 2 and 2+, repeated over several days. Sorry, didn't know these posts are...

well, the drone runs out of range far short of my line of sight to it. and the greatly increased pixelation and more sluggish controls of the 2+ happen at short ranges of 200 feet too, not just out at the end of its range. And, the range problem is in direct line of sight not behind trees...

great suggestions. 1. not sure why they say range doubled then 2. not able to get 19.0 yet - checking every day! 3. great idea, any recommendation on channel scanner - so many are slightly devious in intent 4. is this where I need to disassemble and modify the controller? 5. did that at least...

We bought the Skydio 2+ when Skydio offered the upgrade even though we had a 2 because my son uses an outdoor wheelchair and the short range on the 2 (never more than 1000' even with the controller) was always frustrating. He really needs drone that can fly farther to scout ahead on trails and...

Yes, these steps did indeed fix the stability issues with the new release. Thank you. That said, I have another troubled post under Skydio 2+ maybe someone can help (but doesn't seem like it).

When we updated the app to 15.11.36, the Skydio2 updated to 15.11.35, a lot of anomalies occurred. 1) the drone just shut off while connecting with the beacon, 3 times, and shut off once when connecting to the android app 2) most times when trying to connect the phone to the Skydio2, have to...

All of the media files on the SD card on my skydio 2 are being written with dates in 1975. Skydio told me to factory reset everything. Problem persists. They said to start with the app, not the beacon, but I've not yet used the beacon. So.... this makes a mess of the file structure and...
