Sony's Airpeak S1 drone, meant for its mirrorless cameras, will cease sales by March 31, 2025, with all support ending by 2030, signaling an end to a four-year journey.
Despite promising features like high speed and strong wind resistance, the Airpeak S1 struggled against competitors like DJI, receiving early criticism suggesting it was 'not ready for commercial use'.
Sony attempted to improve the Airpeak S1 with software updates that enhanced features like flight mapping and autonomous home return, but these efforts were insufficient against rivals.
The unveiling of the ILX-LR1 camera, incompatible with the Airpeak S1, foreshadowed the drone's discontinuation, marking the end of its lifecycle after disappointing market performance.
