    Confirmed - Skydio IS getting out of the consumer market

    What you're basically saying is you like your air 3 better then the sd2. If you needed a scenery drone you made a mistake buying a SD2 in the first place, almost any of the DJI drones, not just the Air3 will be better at scenic photography. If it's in nice condition you should be able to get...

    Confirmed - Skydio IS getting out of the consumer market

    How do you like it for filming your motorcycle rides? I've come to really like my 2 DJIs, especially their long battery life, small package (mini 3 & 4) and their camera superiority is obvious. After quite a few flights with all of them I grab the DJIs when I'm planning scenic shots or places...

    Flying into 2024, What would you like to see

    I flew 3 20min flights last week, the SD2 worked like a charm, if it continues to fly like this I'm a very happy camper. (y) I did notice something I hadn't before, I left the beacon turned on while I powered down the drone for a battery change (twice) and it reconnected automatically to the...

    How to fix battery not charging issue

    When I've had the issue you describe I placed the non charging battery in the drone and turned it on and let it run awhile with the drone just sitting there on the floor powering it's fan, leds and processor. Then I charged the battery through the drone for a few min and at that point I was...

    Main differences between Skydio 2 and 2+? (apparently no v3 in the works)

    The extra flight time is a result of the battery change to a higher output version alongside the release of the SD2+. That improved flight time is also applicable to the sd2 when that battery is used. The primary change in the sd2+ is the addition of the antennas which increases it's range...

    My Skydio videos

    Flying into 2024, What would you like to see

    It is a fantastic piece of hardware. Not sure about yours but on all skydios built before sept 16 2003, the RID has zero effect on the drone's flying, it's just a one way notification beacon that transmitted in the drone's flying area. It doesn't prevent operation in any way other then to...
