“Skippy does everything for you. I don’t have to fly the drone I just choose points on maps of my fields that I have downloaded to my phone. The app flies the drone which sends back images of the crop for the app to present to me. All I have to do is click what I want to see.”
Chris Bealby, Farmer, UK

“Skippy Scout is a real step forwards “Targeted agronomy is fast becoming a reality and Skippy Scout has the potential to complement this. It offers a unique approach to drone use in agriculture to enhance decision making.” Lewis McKerrow, Digital Farming Manager, Hutchinsons

“Skippy saves me walking across a big field, it is literally 5 minutes, job done. I’m a believer in using drones and I think there is a lot of potential for Skippy Scout.” Graham Potter, Farmers Weekly arable farmer of the year finalist

### 5/5 — DJI Mavic Pro Platinum

*2020-04-16*

I just bought the subscription hoping that my DJI drone would be supported. Just wondering when you guys plan on coming out with that configuration. Looks like a good app, just don’t want to pay for something I can’t use! Let me know when it drops! Thank you!
