The SkyDio2 is the first drone I purchased. Never flew a drone before, although I used to fly RC Planes years ago when I was in my 20's and early 30's. Sold all my RC Planes and xmitters more than 15 years ago.
I purchased a 2nd drone, which I have already received. Picked up a DJI Mavic Mini on Nov 11th. It is fun, lightweight, and very small drone. I'm enjoying the Mini, although I might not have purchased it other than the fact my Skydio2 order isn't scheduled to be delivered until 2nd quarter 2020. I have heard some people refer to the Mini as a toy, but I don't know any kids that could fly it without destroying it, whereas the Skydio2 could be handed to most kids and they could fly it without crashing it.

Well, if I were you, I would test the Skydio myself before handing it over to kids. The claims they make are wondrous to be sure. But, this drone is untested by people with no skin in the game. Let's get one and try it out first. As for me, the anticipation is killing me. I've never been so attentive to my e mail. I do hope you're right though.
Lol, very true! It was more of a tongue in cheek moment for me because I definitely wouldn't hand my MM over to a kid, much less a more expensive Skydio2. It took my thumps a long time to become proficient flying RC Planes.

I tied xmas tree lights to an sjrc f11 yesterday and tried to fly it over a 15 foot tree in my yard yesterday. Didn't work out so well. Gluing an arm back together now. I should memorize the emergency shut off command. Didn't think I'd ever want to use it. Live and learn.
Ok - just got a mail from Skydio that they will enable the final order sometime next week for me. And after I complete the order it should ship within a week. Any accessories not in stock will ship afterwards in the main order of purchase.

I have no skin in the game but I do have experience flying it. I have no doubt a 6 - 8 yo with some video game experience could fly it no problem. I think you'll be amazed how with the risk of crashing off the table how much more comfortable flying a drone is at low altitudes. The area where you do have to watch out is small thin wires, the avoidance doesn't see them as soon and they could bring it down. SD warned us about this and while I was out flying it came very close to a 3 strand barb wire fence. Obviously it didn't see it till the last second so keep that in mind.
The other thing to watch out for is moving vehicles coming at it. Say it's flying one direction and there's another vehicle that it isn't tracking coming the other direction, the closure rate can be pretty high basically halving the time it normally has to make a decision. Those were the 2 situations SD warned users about.

For those curious - I just put my order through final steps and paid the outstanding amounts.
Drone + Bacon (beacon...) + extra battery - & props - should deliver within 1 week it says. I won't get my hands on it until around the 7th Dec the earliest if they keep up their shipping promise. (<Not due to Skydio... I just wont get my hands on it until the 7th or later)
Big Remote + ND Filters - delivery end of December.
Enjoy - so things ARE progressing!
