Sony to Discontinue Airpeak S1 Drone by March 2025
The high-priced drone, initially launched in 2021, failed to compete in the market despite several updates.
- Sony announced that sales of the Airpeak S1 drone will cease on March 31, 2025, with support continuing until 2030.
- The Airpeak S1 was designed to work with Sony's mirrorless cameras and initially launched at CES 2021.
- Despite its features, including a top speed of 55.9mph and ability to withstand strong winds, the drone received negative reviews for its performance and setup complexity.
- Sony cited 'changes in the business environment' as the reason for discontinuation, suggesting low sales were a factor.
- Accessories sales will also end next year, but replacement parts like batteries and propellers will be available until 2026.
