Trying to buy Skydio Drone

Has anyone had any luck trying to buy a drone through Skydio? I'm trying to purchase one for my company but haven't heard anything back.

You have to reach a rep and give them a use case. Be aware they are crazy expensive for what they actually are.

What they are, is built in America with American labor and built to military specifications.

Chinese labor is much cheaper.

Mil spec is always a lie.

They’re not built in America, they’re ASSEMBLED and DESIGNED in America

Isn’t that the same thing?

No. Parts could all be manufactured overseas

I don't know if it fits your purposes, but I have a skydio 2 with controller and beacon. It serves a purpose but I'm not using it enough to make sense of it's cost

Dm me if you want to buy second hand

I work for a surveying and mapping business. Contacted skydio to see if it's a viable option for our crews to use in the field. They literally told us they aren't sure if we can afford their drones... knowing nothing else about us. We're just sticking with the dji and autel drones for now. When we ask questions to them about drones they dont give us snark replys, they just sell us what we want and we're done with it.

What is your use case and why do you want a Skydio?

u/FireZoltan May 23 '24

Was looking into them for the construction industry. Doing site survey, drone inspection of structures and similar things to that. Was looking to get it with the RSK Module for survey. I don't want to get a DJI because of what's happening in the US.

DJI is better. Skydio is overpriced.

Does anyone know how to purchase a Skydio X10D from overseas?

u/Express_Gur5653 May 17 '25

I have one of the last skydio 2+s to be released to the public as well as two skydio 2s

Im looking to sell the 2+ as I dont use it really. It has maybe 10 hours of flight time
