    Skydio 2 + Jerking about 3 feet in all directions when in flight

    What was the ambient temp during the flight? SD says 23° f minimum. You might try a factory reset and software update.

    Skydio 2 firmware updates going forward?

    That's odd I'm on 24.10.48, I updated through the app.

    It should still be there. When hooked up to the drone look for the 3 lines(settings) on the app when in drone view. Click on the 3 lines and it should show a button to disable smooth mode, if I get a chance I'll try to get a screenshot.

    Skydio Announces End to Consumer Drone

    Reminds me of 3DR, Solo was years ahead of the competition. To this day Solo does things my modern drone's can't. DJI was so afraid of 3DR they tried to buy them. 3DR made many bad decisions which offset their superior product in the market. Seems to me Skydio took a more conservative...

    Skydio Announces End to Consumer Drone

    I agree DJI has come a long way but the mini 4 is still no S2. I've owned practically every DJI consumer drone from the Phantom 1 to the Mavic 2 Zoom and none are usable for my purpose. I'll stick with my S2 until something better comes along.

    Skydio Announces End to Consumer Drone

    I have (3) S2/S2 +'s, I'm stocking up on batteries and props while they are available. I feel it will be some time before DJI, Autel, and the others, will catch up to the tracking performance of the S2 if ever. I'm happy with the current software so status quo is fine with me. As far as...

    Skydio Announces End to Consumer Drone

    I've come to learn that software updates are not always a good thing. Fortunately the last update seems to be a good one my S2 has been performing well, I have no desire or a need to update it anymore.

    Confirmed - Skydio IS getting out of the consumer market

    Well, I'm glad I purchased three of these things, (2) S2's and (1) S2+. They have performed well for me and I'm while I'm disappointed they are leaving the consumer market I feel lucky to have them at all. For those who feel ripped off I foresee a strong market to sell your S2.

    Ridefreak, I turned off the smooth setting and the problem virtually went away.

    Seems like lack of GPS is their rationale for most failures. I'm not having a problem with the tracking I'm having a problem with the subject remaining in center of frame, that seems more like an optical tracking problem. The fact it happened at the same time they went to Auto Crop may not just...

    Yep, when I read helps center the subject, and my subject was often off frame, something is up.

    I believe it's called the Auto Crop option.

    Yeah, they wer I've had the same issue. I read in a recent update the ability to download in different formats to put the subject where you want it, that's when the issue started.

    Battery Failure

    Overtime the batteries will go flat. I purchased a dozen spare 3DR batteries for my Solo and if I don't charge them every few months they will slowly discharge to zero. I think the lesson learned here is store the batteries at 40 to 50% capacity and charge them fully when you're ready to fly. I...
