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

Casey Neistat called this the "Lamborghini" of drones. Can't wait to try this out myself.

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?

The tech around this is insane, and gotta love the industrial design - ya'll know what your doing! props, congrats this is sci-fi real-life

Not sure how it would track a single individual in a crowded area - i.e. on a ski slope?

Pros:

Very nice idea and design. Excellent tracking of a single individual in an open area.

Cons:

A bit pricey. Flight duration is short.

At first glance it looks like it could target similar market to GoPro cameras, but I think it can also do much better in areas which GoPro doesn't/can't service. This would include any close contact sports or settings where it's not practical to wear a camera on your head (hockey, football, movie sets?). It will be interesting to follow this product (pun intended).

The product itself is borderline Sci-Fi. It looks amazing! We'll need to face the facts though - robots will rise sooner than we thought.

Pros:

This looks crazy good! The future is obviously here.

Cons:

Skynet.

Looks nice, but my concerns are: 1. what's the wind resistance comparing to DJI Mavic Pro/Air? 2. what's the error rate for autonomous flying? 3. can you reliably identify me if I jump into a crowd of people? 4. can it handle moving obstacles?

Great, sleek design of protected propellers. Obviously outdoors/action oriented customers but I feel like drone videos always fall short of better segmentation. Expensive as hell but worth it for either sponsored or livestream/youtube/etc type folks? I feel like a grandpa in that I would never own one but I feel like taking a dirtbike or motorcycle out and having it track me would be awesome until the battery ran out, then I'd chuck it in the bin.

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?!

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?

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?

I can't wait until they make one that looks like a pet. I want to use it like a Google home but it needs to self dock when it needs to recharge. I'll buy two so I have contestant coverage! So please allow me to sync this with my magic leap glasses when they become wearables.

Kinda amazing. I must admit my skepticism was high till I saw a few review videos. Amazing to go through trees while on a mountain bike. Eager to come up with a reason to buy one. If this tech works, there are so many other business applications for it.

Looking at the kayaking part of the video, I can't help by image how many times it lost track of the subject. Looking at DJI's active track features, that shit is annoying. Would be cool if it can really do that.

Wow! Amazing! Love it! I want one!

Pros:

Too freaking COOL!

Cons:

It's TOO cool? Hahaha!

It would be interesting how evolve price ober time

Pros:

Huge capacity to register activity

Cons:

needs to let user code and change settings over personal needs

This drone brings a whole new meaning to the term "helicopter parent." 😜

Under hash weather or wild terrain a blend of team drones could handle or aid a search and rescue team...it had to be tested in snow and rain and out at sea....I am from a fishing community...the need to go out from a boat out at night in a sormy weather can help your designers come up with very sturdier designs...but i greet this achievements that has breaking into new grounds of better efficiency...kudos guys Skydio R1

Pros:

It has convinced sufficeintly

Cons:

If traced by a stiff opponent options are bright

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