  • The Skydio 2 feels like the stuff of dreams - a drone that can fly itself, follow you around without crashing into trees. Now, the idea is far more affordable at $999 for the craft itself, with upgraded cameras, battery life, navigation, size, weight, and a pair of optional $150 controllers if you need longer range and/or more control over filming.

    With the accessories and 2 extra batteries the real cost is about $1500. The flight capabilities seem to be its main selling point since the camera is the typical small 1/2.3" sensor with fixed aperture. I'll wait for the customer reviews before ordering one. Looks promising though. At least it's U.S. made which is a major plus.

    Thank you for all the great info.! I have one on reserve that will be shipped in January. I came across a concern today, somebody stated that the R1 batteries were discontinued when they discontinued the R1. In addition, nobody was told about this in advance. I did a little research, and I can't find them on the Skydio site or elsewhere. If this is true, it leads me to believe that the same thing may happen with the Skydio 2. I'm a DJI MA owner and love it but, if the Skydio is everything they're saying, I'll be head over heals. Thanks again. Ray

I know how I would feel if I had an Skydio 2 in my hands after investing well over $1,500.00 in a RC, Beacon, Filters, etc..and can't fly it. I can only imagine how the R1 owners feel.

    It's awesome, it really is, but I think what the company is missing is that a big part of the fun of drones like the mavic and others is that you actually get to fly and control it, (but with enough autonomous features to help you out in a pinch!) If you aren't flying it in anyway at all, the fun goes away and you are just left with a fancy camera, which is great but......

      The battery on the Skydio 2 doubles as a landing pad. You can also smart land on the case the Skydio 2 comes in.

    It is kind of the better version of the DJI "Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing" system, better stability and reliability, hopefully we can see it available on the mavic 3 series. Of course, with a better filming camera.
