    Is it worth repairing or Buy a New One

    Skydio sent an email last week - wait times are down to 60 days & continue to decrease. See attached screenshot of email.

    Is it worth repairing or Buy a New One

    I was under the impression, existing owners who send in the drone to Skydio for repair will get an estimate for costs incurred. At that time if a decision is made to buy a new one instead - they'll ship a new replacement starter package without waiting / so get to skip the line. I haven't...

    Is it worth repairing or Buy a New One

    Just get a new one. The price difference is minimal - and you get the complete starter package for a little more. At least that's what I would do.

    Is Skydio's S2 really a consumer drone?

    Skydio is a military contractor and it's profitable to be one. Look at their recent hires - they all have links to the armed forces. Let's not forget they're still a startup, function like one, can't keep up with demand, and their German investors want quick ROI. The S2 is actually sold to...

    Disappointed with Skydio 2

    Agreed. High contrast clothing helps to differentiate subject from background.

    Skydio 2 (OEM) Dual Charger VS. 3rd Party Options?

    Expensive is relative. If people don't see value in an item, they will think it's expensive. Skydio does allow you to charge through the drone, which I'd imagine should be OK. Though you are sending current through the drone to charge the battery - and who knows what may happen with a power...

    X2 pricing ...YUP NOT CHEAP :)

    Skydio will not respond to individuals or small/medium sized business regarding X2E. They are laser focused on landing military, law enforcement, and large scale enterprise programs (think 10+ drones). And, their pricing reflects it - if you want X2, battery, and Controller - you're looking at a...
