    Fault V19 & V30

    My advice is to send it in, especially if under warranty still. Send them the logs and follow up with emails and phone calls. Customer service is a lot better now. I have also been seeing posts lately about the gimbal doing weird vertical movements. They may admit to something in a recent...

    3-D Scan is MORE Expensive than anyone is Reporting !

    i did a deep dive in the Skydio Enterprise Manual at Skydio.com and it is REQUIRED to have the $1500 AEF software to use the $3000 3-D scan.

    My Skydio videos

    Setting Photo, Not Video, As Startup Preference

    not that ive heard of, best to request to Skydio officially via email. Then they can log your feature request and maybe add as a simple feature update one of these days.
