    Skydio or NOT??? Hearing about runaway drones.

    I don't think the Skydio 2 will work well for your intended use. The Skydio 2 does fly indoors but requires great lighting anywhere it goes otherwise it won't take off. There is Skydio enterprise software available to overcome this and to provide more precise flying at a cost of a few thousand...

    Which AlienTech booster for Skydio 2+?

    The powered amplifier in the Alientech is high gain.... so it takes what it receives from the Skydio 2/2+ and boosts it for a stronger return signal / image. Control of the Skydio is on the transmit side so it is possible to have both a decent control signal and a somewhat pixelated image.

    Drone capabilities

    I wouldn't recommend Skydio as an enterprise platform. There are expensive annual fee for access to enterprise software, inferior flight control and precision, short range that is prone to interference especially around buildings. Underdeveloped photography and video app with few options...

    Parrot Anafi large phone adapter for the S2+ Controller - good /bad?

    I use the Parrot Anafi mount with my Tripltek Tablet and iPhone. Its a good solution, not perfect because you can't turn off the controller while the display / mount is installed. Dirty J designs does sell a small tab that can shut off the controller while leaving the screen installed but again...

    Any rumors of a Skydio with a slightly better camera?

    If anything new is on the horizon, it would probably appear in January but I don't feel that Skydio has the intention of releasing something that would be a direct competitor to DJI. A bigger camera is almost assured on a new model, however Skydio would still have to come forward with much...

    Dual Charger charge in parallel

    I have a cheap Apple clone 96W charger from Amazon. It never fails to charge both batteries simultaneously and quickly to boot.

    Key Frame Question

    Keyframes is for video shooting. Fly the Skydio to a position in the sky, point the camera where you want it to look, then set a Keyframe. Proceed to the next spot, do the same. Repeat until the full route is set up. Once everything is ready then execute. It makes for some interesting flight...

    Update 19.0.50: Beacon will not be updated

    I believe that I connected the Beacon directly to the Skydio 2 to get it to update, while they were both on. The Beacon is supposed to update on its own when turned on but this time it didn't for some reason.

    Skydio 2 is 5.2GHz available as a channel selection?

    In previous versions of the Skydio app.... Channels 36 - 48 were available for selection and are the 5.2GHz frequencies. I haven't checked my updated software to see if they are still there.

    Video exposure is overblown

    Yes. The only effect you are getting by using the 120 FPS shutter speed is intentionally introducing motion blur. The double frame rate rule is used to create a more cinematic effect (i.e. Motion Blur) particularly when flying low. If you like crisp video, use a higher shutter speed.
