Sony's decision to discontinue the Airpeak S1 camera drone reflects a challenging market response, as it received primarily middling to negative reviews despite its advanced capabilities and high price point.
Originally launched at CES 2021, the Airpeak S1 aimed to deliver high-definition video quality using Sony's full-frame Alpha cameras but struggled to gain traction among consumers.
Even with impressive specifications—such as a max flight speed of 55.9 mph and a flight time of 12 minutes—consumer interest failed to align with its premium price of around $9,000.
Sony will cease sales of the Airpeak S1 drone on March 31, 2025, while critical support services like repairs and software maintenance will remain available until March 31, 2030.
