Skydio · Enterprise drone · 2023–present (Gen 2 from June 2025)

Skydio X10

Name: Skydio X10
Brand: Skydio

Skydio launched the X10 in September 2023, a month after leaving the consumer market, and built it for police, utilities and bridge inspectors. Skydio builds it at its plant in Hayward, California. It folds into a backpack, flies about 40 minutes, and carries one of three swappable sensor packages, two of them with a radiometric FLIR Boson+ thermal camera. The six navigation cameras that made the Skydio 2 famous are back with ten times the computing power, and NightSense attachments let it avoid obstacles in the dark. A second generation arrived in June 2025 with a better cellular modem and an all-grey shell, and Skydio says the two fly the same.

Before you fly

The rules, the lock and what it pairs with

Takeoff weight: 2,110 g, register it

Remote IDBuilt-in Remote ID: The X10 is on the FAA's Remote ID Declaration of Compliance list (X10E SR47P), and Skydio puts a compliance label in the battery tray. It weighs over 250 g, so it must be registered, and paid work under Part 107 needs registration and Remote ID as well.
Account lock: This is the big one. The X10 lives in a Skydio Cloud organization. The controller is set up with a Skydio Cloud account's email and an emailed code, and Skydio says you can't claim a vehicle that's still tied to another organization. Buy only if the seller's organization has released it through Skydio support, and know that Skydio Cloud is bought through a Skydio sales rep.
Controller: The X10 Controller (6.6-inch screen) or the newer Controller 2, both running Skydio Flight Deck. A controller pairs to one drone at a time over a USB-C cable. A controller password can't be recovered, so ask for a factory reset (Skydio documents a Recovery Mode wipe) before it ships. Controllers must be claimed in Skydio Cloud to fly over Connect 5G.
App and firmware: Skydio Flight Deck on the controller, or Skydio's browser tools (Ops Center, Skydio Command) for remote flight. Skydio says the X10 can't be flown from third-party software. It's a current product with regular software releases.

Should come with it

Which sensor package is fitted (VT300-L, VT300-Z or V100-L)
At least two batteries and the X10 Dual Charger with its power supply
The controller, reset and ready to claim
Attachments such as RTK/PPK, spotlight, speaker, NightSense or parachute

Check the listing photos against this list, and ask the seller about anything you can’t see. A missing piece should come off the price.

What to check

Skydio issued a notice in May 2025 that wear at the battery connector can cut power in flight on X10 and X10D drones; it now fits a shim at the factory and posted self-install kits to existing owners. Ask whether the shim is fitted.

01Cloud release: Ask the seller to confirm in writing that Skydio has removed the drone from their Skydio Cloud organization. You should be able to claim it in your own organization.
02Controller reset: Ask for the controller to be factory reset with no password set. It should start at first-time setup when you power it on.
03Battery shim: Ask whether the battery connector shim from Skydio's 2025 notice is installed. New drones ship with it, and Skydio mailed kits to existing owners.
04Sensor package: Check the listing for which sensor package is on it. A VT300 package has the thermal camera and a V100-L doesn't.
05Batteries and charger: Count the batteries and look for the X10 Dual Charger in the photos. Skydio says to charge X10 batteries only with its own charger and power supplies.
06Navigation cameras: Look at the six navigation lenses on the top and bottom in the photos. They should be clean and uncracked.
07Generation: Ask for a photo of the label in the battery bay. Gen 2 drones say so there.
