Skydio R1

Hi All,

Engadget (2 April 2018) Skydio R1 review: The ultimate follow-me drone comes at a price (video)

"For the $2,499 that Skydio is asking, you could buy three DJI Mavic Airs, or even a combo or Mavic Air and Mavic Pro Platinum, and still possibly have some money left over. For budding aerial videographers, that would give you more features and more flexibility (the R1 can capture establishing shots, but it's limited in control). The narrower focus of the R1 and its higher price will make is a hard sell for most consumers; something more for the heli-ski crowd," according to Engadget.

Your thoughts?

Technology doesn't come cheap..

Watching the video, this is a fantastic solution for autonomous drone, " Follow Me " mode..

I have owned a Inspire 1, and three Mavic Pro's and others.. there IS a place for this fully autonomous drone, eg. flying inside a cave while its following you, or between buildings whereas the Mavic Pro, Air any drone will collide. PERFECT for wedding!

But, who need a follow me drone? Seriously... Not for work.

I don't see a use for this in Realestate as there is no controller..

I don't see this for aerial videography or photography..

But I can see it for Wedding Photography where the multiple camera and 3D location ( no gps )can benefit the shoot for indoor, wedding or group shots in tight spaces.

but Boy.. expensive..
