I have mine!! Found a great deal on Craigslist. Someone had it for only about 6 months and only flew it 3 times!! I bought the beacon and some extra propellers and so very happy with it. I used the tracking and actually tried to see if I could get away from it. The result was...it stuck with me, even when I went behind some trees. Once it lost me out of its sight and it actually began looking for me and found me. Now, understand, I use the beacon so, my understanding is that the beacon is the best way to go. I have not used the controller yet. I will soon. This is super fun to fly with. I can literally get it off the ground, jump on my bike and not worry about it.

Hey as a suggestion for your next drone use a TOF sensor ( Like most smartphones ) It only has about a range of about 10 feet but it can work in complete darkness, smaller than a penny and can provide 3D depth data. Combining this with cameras that have a bigger sensor can improve the low-light and tiny obstacles ( like wires ) greatly.

SKYDIO: what happens in hover mode when the subject (phone and/or beacon) goes out of range? Will the unit reposition and hover again? I would like to position the Skydio half way down a ski run and have it capture me as I go by. But then I'll exit beacon/phone range and don't want to have to hike back up to the bird to gain control again.
