    Thoughts on Skydio’s new January 4th “Update?”

    Meh, not enough here for me to fret about owning the original. Glad the new batteries work. I’ll wait for a brand new consumer drone as this is more of a end of cycle update.

    Poor Customer Support, Crash warranty denied

    The refund is astonishing. You were batch 1. I am batch 1 and I can’t imagine a refund even being a possibility. I’ve crashed my Skydio several times. They’ve all been user error because of my overconfidence in this drones capabilities. I take risks with it. Overall, it has impressed me on...

    Make Skydio 2 controller phone holder fit for larger phones

    I have an iPhone 12 pro max with a Apple silicone case. I’m able to fit it in the controller. Super tight fit, but it stays put.

    My repair story : A cautionary tale

    I still find it odd. When you crash a DJI, or really any other quad; the incident is usually recorded unless something catastrophic happens. In this case; the bird hit the branch, couldn’t recover but tried all the way until it hit the ground. Why does the video cleanly stop before the...

    My repair story : A cautionary tale

    I did report it, waiting for a response. The weird thing about the crash is the video stops right before impact with the branch. Like cleanly stops. Why?

    My repair story : A cautionary tale

    Curious, mine just hit pavement from 50 ft up after hitting a leafless canopy branch in my backyard that it’s avoided before countless times. It was sunny with what I consider excellent lighting. The crash really only resulted in minor cosmetic damage and a tiny scratch on a forward facing...

    New phone... iPhone 12 pro max... iOS 14.2. New problems

    So I got a new phone, and the Skydio app wants to access the microphone as usual. Only problem is it won’t work on this phone. It doesn’t show up as a request under privacy. Leaving me grounded. Any thoughts? Anyone else experiencing any problems? I had no issues on my 8 plus running 14.2.

    What is under the hood :)

    Anafi’s range sucks despite those.

    Camera failure
