I don't have a lot of experience with remote control piloting, but I had no trouble directing the R2. You can still control the drone when it's about two miles away.

The coolest thing about the beacons a point and click method to control the drone, you point the beacon at the drone, hold down a button, point the beacon where you want the drone to go, and then release the button.

I know this is a controversial statement for some, but that's my 2 cents. It's not a drone that was built to be manually flown. The controller on Skydio is cheapo.look, feel, etc. The range on the Skydios is poor compared to any DJI model. The Skydio can track like no other, but there were many things I expected that it just doesn't do. I think that the vast 95% of the consumer market is really looking for the ease of use and predictability of DJI. My take, having owned both the 2 and the 2+, as well as many many DJI models, these are many differences between what you will get with any DJI drone and what you get with Skydio. 1,099 00 Skydio 2+ Sports Kit 1,549 00 Skydio 2+ Cinema Kit 1,949 00 Best Seller Skydio 2+ Pro Kit 2,169 00 Fly Fearless With Skydio Care Add 1 or 2 years of protection for your drone with Skydio Care.
