    My other drone is a ... ?

    Congratulations. I will give myself a new drone as a gift to celebrate getting the Part 107 certification, too. I would recommend considering powerful/heavy drones which are in a different drone category than Skydio 2+. Some candidates worth considering are the DJI Mavic 3, DJI Inspire 2 or...

    Skydio 2+ went for a swim

    I've read the Skydio's warnings doc carefully. https://support.skydio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000935174-Where-can-I-fly-my-Skydio-2-2- But, I don't know why it is not about up and down? They are two different things: 1. KeyFrame 2. Obstacle Avoidance/Active Follow For OA or AF, the...

    Skydio 2+ went for a swim

    Thank you for sharing. Although 30ft is quite low, you could stop the mission if you were aware of the situation. It is not totally your fault. You just trust the ability of the drone too much but the Skydio's capability is just not so good. Now, we know the Skydio is not able to keep the...

    Different between Skydio2+ Beacon & (old) Skydio2 Beacon

    Sure, they are different but Skydio 2+ Beacon is compatible with any Skydio 2 or 2+ drone. The new Skydio 2+ Beacon extends the range up to 3km while the Skydio 2 Beacon's range is half of that. https://support.skydio.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404241302555-How-far-can-Skydio-2-2-fly-

    KeyFrame: What's the big deal?

    Good to know it. Thanks for sharing.

    KeyFrame: What's the big deal?

    For me, I will adjust the speed a little bit after swapping the battery and reloading the mission. However, you've done it very carefully and I don't think there is much room for improvement.

    Skydio 2+ and Skydio 2 have exactly the same range, and the 2+ has noticeably worse video and control performance.

    We are discussing the range of the Skydio and you? You are still keeping confusing the topic and misleading the discussion! I guess the reason is that you can't read the technical article easily. Here is the official article about the range of the 2 and 2+. Let me try my best to explain to...

    Skydio 2+ and Skydio 2 have exactly the same range, and the 2+ has noticeably worse video and control performance.

    What's your problem? And, why makes simple things so complicated and become frustrated!! There are only two possibilities: 1. Skydio 2+ range have been improved a lot As stated by Skydio, 2+ have improved the operation a lot. And, there are many positive user feedbacks and videos support...

    Skydio 2+ and Skydio 2 have exactly the same range, and the 2+ has noticeably worse video and control performance.

    I don't think that Skydio 2+ have range issue. Skydio 2+ are proven to have very good operational range comparing to Skydio 2. Many videos have provided clear information that 2+ have improved the range significantly.

    Skydio 2+ and Skydio 2 have exactly the same range, and the 2+ has noticeably worse video and control performance.

    Do you watch those videos? If you watch, why do you think that 2+ have range issue! Though many others say 2+ have very good range comparing to 2 and with videos. OP's information indicates that the videos' information is not all true. He is the first one to uncover this information, isn't...

    Skydio 2+ and Skydio 2 have exactly the same range, and the 2+ has noticeably worse video and control performance.

    I've checked again, you are the first one to uncover the range issue of 2+.

    What return settings are you guys using

    My RTH settings may differ from yours becauase I never use RTH to bring the drone back to me. The RTH function will only be triggered when the connection is lost. RTH when lost connection means the pilot has no control of his/her drone at all. A drone out-of-control is dangerous and I really...

    You have the courage to speak negatively about Skydio, it really needs a lot of courage, so give your post a Like. However, your post lacks proof of the fact and evidence, I feel hard to imagine what you try to express. On the contrary, there are many videos that prove that 2+ has better...

    New Software - 19.0.50/19.0.42 (android)

    I have a Fitbit Ionic smartwatch and I bought it many years ago. Just happening this month, due to some issue with the smartwatch, Fitbit recalls the Ionic. I have used the smartwatch for years and now it recalls and returns all my money. This is a responsible company, a company that claims to...
