California-based drone maker Skydio has announced that it will 'sunset' its consumer drone offerings.
“Four years after its launch, Skydio 2’s follow-and-film capability and autonomous cinematography features like KeyFrame are still in a class all on their own. Watching our consumer customers use our drones to capture photos and videos that would be impossible to achieve any other way while they bike, climb, run, drive, and ski in some of the most beautiful parts of the world has been one the greatest joys of our work,” writes Skydio’s CEO Adam Bry.
Skydio’s CEO points out that the company’s drones serve the “core industries that our civilization runs on,” including public safety, transportation, energy, construction, and defense.Skydio has decided that enterprise and public sector customers require the company’s full and undivided attention. “We will be forever grateful to every consumer who has purchased a Skydio drone. We hope you have enjoyed the product as much as we enjoyed building it and supporting you,” Bry concludes., Skydio explains that it will still produce the Skydio 2+ drone, but it will only be available in its Enterprise Kit variant., expresses significant disappointment over Skydio’s decision. Dono says that Skydio rose to fame because of its consumer-level customers rather than its enterprise customers.
Skydio is hosting an event next month about its AI technology. “Drones that think. And a company that cares,” writes Skydio on its website.
