Greetings from western Montana. I have been a 107 pilot for 3 years, my fleet consists of mostly DJI aircraft, but I am about to get my first Skydio drone shipped to my door. I sold a Mavic 2 Zoom and smart controller just to get on the Skydio bandwagon, mostly because I belive that autonomous flight is the direction of drone development and autonomy is where Skydio shines! So here I am.
Would love to see some mission planning software (similar to Maven, Litchi, etc.) specifically for this platform pop up, keeping my fingers crossed. I can imagine flying up/down a narrow mountainous river canyon focusing on the camera, gimbal and yaw while Skydio avoids disaster (something that my Mavic 2 pro isn't very good at)....
Anyone familiar with the SDK capabilities and how waypoint flights are executed (by DroneDeploy for example)? Are they "virtual sticks" or are waypoints uploaded for execution natively on the aircraft?
Anyway, so begins my Skydio discovery phase.
