    GONE: Skydio 2 Cinema Kit

    Can close if you want, doesn't matter. It's gone, as I noted in the update yesterday. I gave my final answer the other day that I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar enough with the export regs to send overseas, and even after talking to a rep at Skydio about it I wasn't comfortable. It just made...

    GONE: Skydio 2 Cinema Kit

    Sorry, can't part it out. If I don't sell here in the next few days I'll just initiate the process to return the whole thing to Skydio.

    GONE: Skydio 2 Cinema Kit

    Update 4/1/2021: It's gone. Looking to sell my Skydio 2 Cinema kit. This is basically brand new. I flew it I think maybe 6 times; never crashed. Like it a lot, but I don't think it's going to work for my use case. If I could I'd keep it for other uses but I have other expenses coming...

    Just 5% of Skydio drone pilots are women

    Eh, not sure why it was even worth them writing that article. That general trend I'm sure is going to follow with any drone maker. I like tinkering with this stuff, my wife doesn't really care. It's not an uncommon phenomena.

    Skydio learning process if you already own another drone

    I agree. I went with Skydio's recommendation and used my phone only for the first flight. My first flight was by far my worst flight. I haven't flown since without the controller. Personally, I'd venture to say even if you have never flown a drone before, you're better off using the controller...

    Old drones, any market?

    I have a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ that I bought new in 2014 that I haven't used in years. A couple months ago I pulled it out and pretty much as expected I couldn't get it to work. A couple of my batteries show full charge on the indicators, but I think they are likely the culprit. I guess I...

    Red bleached photos

    I had considered that I may have bumped the photo settings. If I did it wasn't intentional, but I can't 100% rule it out. But that said, I kind of figured why would they have any setting combination that would create that.

    How to manually control video capture

    Don't know, but interested in the solution. I haven't tried very hard to find the answer, but I've noticed the same deal when flying. I just assumed tapping the recording icon would stop the auto record, but it didn't.

    Drone Insurance

    That include any liability coverage?

    Skydio2 video quality goes grainy and blue mid flight, Please help!

    Haven't noticed it regularly. Just had it happen that one flight, and every pic it took that flight was red like this one:

    Red bleached photos

    I've only had a handful of flights with my S2 so far, but on the third flight yesterday I took a bunch of photos, some using the timed interval and some manual with the button on the controller. Every single photo came out bleached red. Is this is a known issue? I can't imagine they would have...

    Landing on a Case - Like everyone says .... works flawlessly

    The times it did not find it, I had tried everything. Everything between low and close to 30' up. No dice. Also, when the yellow target circle does work, I wish it would show prior to pressing the land command if I'm hovering right over it for a long period. Being that I never know if it's...

    Want RMA but [email protected] not replying to email

    I got mine last Wednesday and discovered they sent two USB-C to Lightning cables for the controller instead of one USB-C and one Lightning. Emailed them last Wednesday, got a response today. They're dropping the cable in the mail. Also emailed some questions about Skydio Enterprise last night...

    S2 loses altitude with Controller

    I'll have to keep an eye out for that one, maybe tomorrow. I was using the boost button tonight but I had the S2 very high at the time and wasn't paying that much attention to the altitude. Unrelated, but I find it really annoying how when I pick a spot on the map and tell it to fly there, once...

    Landing on a Case - Like everyone says .... works flawlessly

    Just got my SD2 last week, five flights in so far. I've done a case landing on I think four of those flights, but only twice did I get a yellow target ring on the case. The other three times (the one off-case landing I had I first tried to do a case landing) it would not lock onto the case. In...
