    Images are entirely RED and also intermittently, camera view would suddenly go GRAY

    Was perfectly on phone display. When I got off shoot and edited, they were all red. I think I posted man example. Skydio bought it back from me at full price.

    Images are entirely RED and also intermittently, camera view would suddenly go GRAY

    My point is, if it’s intermittent, you could be on the shoot rely that you have your images only to leave the shoot and find that you don’t that they’re all red. So you’re perhaps once in a lifetime opportunity for some shots or a shoot for a client, we’re not available and it’s too late now...

    Poor Customer Support, Crash warranty denied

    Thanks for your comments. You are not me. I've never had a "game stopper" with DJI. Yes, the Chinese (not all but DJI for sure) have a "different perspective" on veracity and of how to provide great customer service. And, as I've said, I started back when the Phantom 3 was the latest product...

    Poor Customer Support, Crash warranty denied

    When you talk about if I heeded the warning there were no warnings from the Skydio and it was flying very slowly probably 2 miles an hour, a slow walking speed with me 10 feet behind it and under it. I always use the controller for the drone and never use my phone or the beacon. The drone was...

    Poor Customer Support, Crash warranty denied

    I really believe that sky to you as a company is just a hot air balloon, a bunch of hype to raise their valuation in the eyes of unwary investors. I had a Skydio 2 from the first batch. I took a bite of about $2000 on a start up company that couldn’t even give me a reasonably accurate delivery...

    My repair story : A cautionary tale

    Power lines = "Drone Magnets".

    Power wire avoidance.

    I've had mine from 1st batch. Disregard your impressions from the "flying in deep woods" Skydio Promo Video. Exercise extreme caution around branches, clothes lines and power lines. Do "assume that S2 will avoid power lines, clothes lines and smaller branches. I know from personal experience...

    Firmware Upgrade

    You paid how much for your S2 and you're pinching pennies on MicroSD cards?!? My advice is get fastest best quality card you can find. Lexar is my favorite.

    Images are entirely RED and also intermittently, camera view would suddenly go GRAY

    No filter ! Also, Skydio refused to send me a replacement asap even if I BOUGHT a new one ! Said that I have to send my "bad" one back and then they send me a new one. That's it for me. And I am an Enterprise Client ! I use this in my business ! I am now going to sell it as soon as I get...

    Images are entirely RED and also intermittently, camera view would suddenly go GRAY

    This is the raw (in JPG) product of a recent shoot. Unedited. All images are like that. SmartPhone was Note 10 Plus, fully updated. Also during the flight, intermittently, I had GRAY instead of an image from camera. I tried to upload images here but forum said "too large" so here's a Dropbox...

    Poor Customer Support, Crash warranty denied

    I had same exact experience (Batch 1), small branches. I pointed out that their own promo videos show it flying autonomously through thick forests ! I got no where with that. I just paid the repair/replacement fee and got on with my life. They have a great product but very poor...

    Skydio Autonomy Enterprise Foundation: $1499/yr

    Yes, I also fly a Mavic air 2 and a Mavic 2 pro. But part of the enhanced package from Skydio is supposed to offer more precise obstacle avoidance.

    I had batter luck using 100 watt type C chargers
