For $999, the Skydio 2 does something no other drone can do — intelligently follow you while dodging obstacles instead of crashing to its doom. It’s affordable compared to the $2,500 prototype the startup introduced last year, plus it’s smaller and lighter, with longer battery life and a far better camera, too.
Skydio, the US company building self-flying, obstacle-dodging drones, is fixing the Skydio 2’s single biggest shortcoming with the Skydio 2 Plus — and adding KeyFrame, a free update for both drones that turns them into programmable cameramen.
