Skydio

Not sure I've got $2500 to spare for this one.

Would it work for an activity such as kitesurfing where there are kites flying connected to people via thin cords that could impact against the drone? Could the drone dodge the kites and the cords?

Can someone explain why so many drones have batteries that last only 15-20 minutes? I genuinely want to understand this from a technical perspective. Can't handle more weight? It makes it way more expensive?

Looks awesome! And brought Marc Andreessen out of his twitter freeze. https://twitter.com/pmarca/statu...

Super cool. Would love to take this on a bike ride.

Can't find a reference to fast charging or charge time for the 16 minutes of flight. But it looks really really neat hopefully in the future as volume increase price comes down to something closer to the consumer level. Any word on tentative release date? I assume a few quarters away?

Pricey a bit. But I love the idea though. I bet the first customers are the professional photographers. For these guys, it's quite an interesting new toy to play with. I wonder how long this "bird" can fly per charge?!
