Skydio X2D Home Point
Set or move a Home Point during daylight hours if you believe that landing at your launch point will give away your position. Identify a clear, level surface
where you want your X2D to land. Skydio X2D will retain its current obstacle avoidance setting while returning. Return settings persist across flights and
power cycles.
