Yeah righto man - Featured Flyer, Red Bull Illume 2x semi-finalist - 200+ hours of flight time - I definitely don't know what I'm talking about...If you've torched a few of these drones, it doesn't sound like you should be a spokesman for these units. I had mine since the first batch, and never wrecked or had a single issue, until a firmware upgrade that seems to have caused others to experience erratic behavior.
Flying in higher winds than rated, regularly coating the drone in sea spray, glassy clear water - eventually something will go wrong and it did and has - I accept that risk every time I fly over the ocean and you don't hear me complaining
I've given them a lot of flight data over the years and pushing limitations that could actively kill their drone isn't something most punters do
Terrible is anecdotal at best - tall poppy syndrome - of the 1868 members on this forum what percentage of the population of Skydio users is that?You ask to what end, and it's simple--to warn others about these issues. Perhaps prevent someone from wasting $3k to get terrible customer service.
Like Ridefreak said hit them up on the DiscordIf Skydio could fix the current firmware and crap logic they've programmed in, improve customer support, and most importantly, the shitty range, then this would be the GOAT. Even with sub-optimal optics and portability, I'd take it with me over my other 4 drones in a heartbeat.
Plus the 4 other drones you own...I'm no shill for DJI. That's why I threw so much money after Skydio, supporting the s2 from day one.
I was a day one pre-order too - there is no other product on the market now even after 3 years that can do what this drone can for solo sports
I literally only have a Skydio
