Hello from Champaign Il

Wondering if this is going to be a good choice. Here's to hoping that it is.

Welcome to the forum.

Drone arrived. Yippie. Says it needs to update. Update fails. Ho rah. Skydio couldn't fix it. $2k to look at it sit on the floor.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that. Got my new Skydio a couple days ago and all the updates went fine, phew.

I take it Skydio is going to send you a replacement?

They want to try to fix it over the internet. I am supposed to send them a error log. The more I mess with it the more I feel the drone has a issue with communicating.

 

[RiverEagle]

Ah gotcha. I'd say it's promising they're seeing if they can fix it via software/patching. Do keep us posted and best of luck!

Will do. I noticed a lot of post that don’t seem resolved. Kind of frustrating to read an issue an no resolution.

Disappointed to learn drone can’t look up without enterprise software.

Fixed it!? I turned off my cellular data. Seems to have worked. Now I just need sunlight.

First flight SUCCESS ! ! !

Started off with the beacon. Really spooky. Prior to this we had to be the pilot and photographer. Now you select a target and a few options and done. I obviously need to learn more before it becomes intuitive to operate.

Second flight with remote. Performs well. Controls seems a little sluggish but I have not adjusted anything. I like the "turbo" button. Display noted 30 mph.

As a side note the camera can be adjusted to point up.

All is well so far.

WOOT! Glad to hear it... Agree, it takes some getting used to even though it's autonomous.

Still learning myself. Enjoy,
