I've flown several flights directly over water (> 20flights), at significant distances from shore (up to 600m offshore) and had no signs of trouble with Skydio2. For me, it flies just the same as if it was over land. I have not tried the beacon, but have been using the controller and flying...

i'm sure it would if the coms are compatible. X2 is supposed to have much greater range than S2.

You should try again... I think the combination is improving. See below: I definitely also noticed that... S2 takes off to about 10ft AGL then straight to waypoint 1. Mine went straight into a bunch of trees but luckily for S2's superior object avoidance, it noodled it's way out of the canopy...

I've been using DroneDeploy with S2. It works pretty good for survey mission waypoint flying. They have a 14day free trial for the full DroneDeploy experience, then the app continues to let you fly S2 free afterwards. It's not the best autonomous flight GCS I've used (for non-S2 platforms...

And even Pix4Dcapture is included with a Pix4Dmapper subscription, so if you happen to have that then the app would be useful to fly missions. Hey - it works great for the Anafi why not Skydio2? ? Even DJI's GSP aint too awful. It's hard to believe that there's no solutions out there... I'm...

The DJI saturation is a serious issue, beyond the obvious gov restrictions etc. It's great to see Parrot Anafi and Skydio options becoming viable, relatively capable alternatives. The Anafi is convenient and has surprisingly few glitches. It interfaces well with all of Parrot/Pix4D/Sequoia...

New to SD. Still exploring it's capabilities. Wanting to use it to do land survey, e.g. for orthomosaic or SfM DEM. Other than DroneDeploy, is there another app that works with Skydio2 enabling survey planning, deployment to SD / or acting as GCS ? I'm thinking of things similar to Mission...

Preach Brother. Yep - totally agree... Additionally to those items Mike listed, I'd like 1) the ability to pre-fetch maps for situations when you have no cellular / internet wifi (e.g. remote locations). It's crazy that you can only access maps once connected to skydio. 2) ability to program...
