    How to prep 2+ for saie

    How do I unregister/unpair Skydio 2+ from my account? I just sold it. Really sorry to see it go and was looking forward to future Skydio’s.

    Skydio X10

    The X2 is now $14k as in USD? I’d pay $5K for an X10 in a heartbeat but hard to justify going above that. I loath DJI.

    New S2+ battery 'issue'

    Do the batteries have firmware in them. I think DJI’s do. Maybe one round through the Drone on a new battery is a good idea.

    Drone Insurance

    I got State Farm, Skydio Care and AMA. I think I’m covered :)

    Brand New Skydio 2+ - No Wifi SSD/Signal to connect to?

    Someone else in another thread was having connection issues on a new Drone. This should be stickied some where.

    Sound Question

    Can you explain how you typically do #2. Will it take audio from phone and combine with footage from the drone automatically? If so how?

    Video editing software

    This Video below does a great job comparing Davinci, FCP and Adobe. He uses them all, they are all good. But his comments on Color convinced me to go with Davinci. The main reason I bought the paid version is GPU acceleration.

    Skydio 2+ range test

    The 2+ beacon spec claims 3 km which is 3x that distance. But I suspect that he had more interference than he thinks. I bet half or more of those boats have Wi-Fi routers in them. They don’t need to be occupied to generate signal.

    Dual Charger charge in parallel

    I used my MacBook 96W USB-C Charger and it charged in parallel on the first charge (and both batteries were quite low).

    Maiden flight went great

    Exactly. I’m not some cinematographer so the fact that the S2 is a step down on Camera from DJI is not that big a deal. It’s also more fun because of the very attractive Care package and the Step up on obstacle avoidance. But when an S3 with a better camera does arrive I’ll provably be in...

    Anyone get shipping info yet?

    My review is a general review. But I did include a Video of doing a case landing in it. I felt the case landing would be the safest landing. I’m not a fan of hand launches or hand landings. A botched landing on the ground or case is just $150. A botched hand landing or launch is a trip to the...

    Anyone get shipping info yet?

    Thanks. I have case landings down great. I'm probably 7 out of 8. Pretty simple. The one that missed was landing in my friends yard that had little patches of snow and grass. I think Skydio thought one of the patches of snow was the landing target. Just trying to understand this GPS warning on...

    Anyone get shipping info yet?

    But is it the Drone or the Beacon that needs a better fix? I flew the drone with phone and controller a few minutes earlier with no warning. Then I setup the beacon. I didn’t even turn the drone off. The first time a GPS warning happened the day before (might have been different), But it...

    Anyone get shipping info yet?

    OK my review went public. Someone gave it a thumbs up. Then I edited a few typos and it went into Approval mode again. Seriously. So that encourages me to not ask questions in a new thread and I'll unfortunately go off topic and ask here ;( First few flights, no issues. A later flight it gave...

    I posted a new thread mini review with a Video of a Case Landing but I've been waiting for Moderator Approval :( My micro review is "Flawless".
