All of them were shot at 4K/60 HDR in H.265. The single shot file includes where it managed to get itself in a quirky spot, but all worked out.
Thanks for the awesome footage, this is not another drone, this is THE DRONE !!
Thanks!
100%agree to that statement
LEGEND. Thanks for including the uncompressed file on google drive! So helpful for so many people. We will definitely be sharing.
Thanks!
Thank you SO much for providing the original file straight from the camera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No prob!
Nicely done. Always a pleasure to see your videos!
WOW! Drone footage looks interesting again. Almost a mid-air combat fight with Mavic Air @ 17:08 :)
Hahaha....I totally forgot I left that in! Hilarious moment.
Ya, for you 😂😳
Thanks for providing the raw video footage! Downloaded it this morning and just viewed it. Much better than viewing on RUclips. Very clear, good dynamic range and colors - IMO, if you are familiar with Autel Evo camera output, the Skydio S2 is on par with that.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic footage! Thanks for sharing it. What an amazing drone!
If there's one thing I've learnt from all that excellent footage showing how awesome technology has become, it's this. DC Rainmaker needs a quadlock bar mount to hold his freakin phone. :)
Hahaha...I have many. Just not enough.
WOW! So many awesome angles. The bridge scene was amazing. You have some amazing places to ride!
Thanks - it's a great time of year to ride!
8:11 was incredible
Brilliant loved every minute of it.
Thanks!
I'm impressed and it takes a lot to impress me when it comes to these things.
I aim to please. Unless you were talking about the drone. ;)
DC Rainmaker you consistently impress me with the thoroughness of your reviews.
Thanks for the great videos and especially for the direct video file download. I have two Skydio 2 drones reserved and your videos confirm the quality they produce. There is some jerky strobe-like motion on your and other Skydio 2 RUclips videos during high speed or rapid camera rotations which concerned me. However, your downloaded video show none of the jerky motion which confirms that it is an artifact of RUclips processing and compression rather than the Skydio 2 itself. Can't wait! Hurry up, Skydio! Jess
Thanks!
Incredible footage. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Mine arrives tomorrow! This is gonna be a game changer.
I just ordered mine, can't wait to play with it
Best video yet of Skydio 2. That beacon really makes it easy to adjust the shooting angles.
Are these true statements for the following time stamps:
6:00 - So when the AI says I don't know how to get back to following you, the S2 will just hover and await your next command.
11:25 - So a slower orbital speed means it will continue orbiting at a slower ground speed of the tracked subject and conversely a faster orbit speed will give you an orbit shot at a slightly faster ground speed for the subject being tracked? An interesting behavior is if the tracked subject is traveling too fast the drone reverts to a follow me mode (still in "orbit" mode though) and then automatically continues on to the orbit shot once you slow down or stop, no manual switching on the beacon required.
Observations (from downloaded file): Smoother follow me shots are possible by knowing ahead of time where potential obstacles are that would cause the drone to navigate around and adjusting the altitude ahead of time. For example, I know this trail has small branches at the 20 foot level but not above 30 feet the altitude would then be set to below 20 or higher than 30. Certain colors really pop on those overcast day shoots. Are you able to adjust the colors easily?
Thanks!
6:00 - So this was actually interesting. I think there might have been a few things going on here, mainly I suspect the Beacon didn't have complete GPS lock - so it might actually have not known my position. It was showing virtually no GPS signal.
11:25 Correct, it'll orbit up till approx 20MPH, and then it'll fall to 'behind' mode. After it catches back up and your speed falls below threshold - it'll go back to orbiting.
General: I'm still a bit fuzzy on how much I can push the altitude in tree scenarios - it doesn't quite seem as flexible as I'd like it to be (compared to something like the Airdog). I think there's lots of potential there though for easy tweaks via software to the beacon. I haven't tried color correcting, but in about 2-3 mins I'll put the link up to the actual original file for one of them (the one seen in 6:00).
@@Dcrainmaker Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Glad to hear the "Orbit" will continue at a faster pace than walking. I saw a comment elsewhere that this wasn't the case and your video definitely showed a faster pace.
Man, that thing is so cool!
Cheers!
Ray looks like the coolest rider in the bunch.
Such a serious game changer
Wow just seeing the footage of your studio / workspace is just uber epic! Is that a ski gondola that I saw? Might have to make time to visit for next year's open house! :) Thank you for sharing!
Ski gondola indeed! 🚠
Great reviews on this new product. I do agree with an earlier comment that the video on RUclips is not HD quality. In fact on my iPhone it’s running at 480p and will not let me improve it.
Check out either the downloadable file, or my other video I just posted with two downloadable files. Cheers!
Great footage, can't wait to get my Skydio 2, which I'm having re-shipped to the UK - hopefully later December, having ordered on Release day 1. Holland is so cycle-friendly. I wish the UK was the same. Healthy bodies, healthy minds.
Really appreciate the download link. If you have a Google Drive account select the option to add to your Google Drive, it doesn't count against your storage allotment. And then if you have your Google Drive sync'd to your PC, it will be downloaded in the background.
Edit after download completion: You're right the video produced by the S2 is very sharp and clear.
Also added another file just now, linked above.
@@Dcrainmaker Wow, you're hitting it out of the park today!
Thanks so much!
No problem!
What's crazy DC, I found myself watching the path of the Done more then you.... Not sure if that was the purpose 😂 The Tech is so smart you get caught up in it. Awesome Riding footage. This may be the replacement for Racing Cams
As my 4 year old son says, “I WANT!”
So ridiculous ... amazing footage
Really good footage. Very impressive. Are you able to control the distance from which the drone follows and parallels you? Thanks.
AT 17:06, YOU JUST DODGED A MAVIC AIR AND AT 24:45 DID YOU SEE THE MAVICS OWNER FACE LOOKING AT YOUR DRONE, LIKE WTF IS THAT, PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for making the footage available for download. It actually has the same compression issues with artifacting, sharpness and color banding that the last video had. There's really not a big difference between the video on RUclips and the downloaded footage.
Maybe it's just me and my quality standards are too high, but I don't consider this high definition. I do believe that a lot of the problems come from compression and that the camera itself could actually do a better job.
For example, the first scene where you're cycling. You can clearly see the grass on the ground color shifting and banding in the distance and only turn into individual leaves when they come closer. Then there's heavy artifacting around everything that is mixed static and moving. Like for example the handlebars on the bike or the edges of your cloth.
The same goes for waves on the water in the distance.
Is it possible to use a higher quality compression on the Skydio 2, at the expense of file size?
It’s probably worthwhile noting that all of this was shot at almost sunset (or sunset), on darker days here in the Netherlands. Meaning, the light is being pushed a bit.
There both H.265 and H.264. I filmed everything at 4K/60 HDR H.265. If it ever stops hurricaning out, I can try some other settings.
I agree. I'm seeing pretty strong compression artifacts. Not what I was hoping for.
@@MarkMcLT I'm putting up one of the straight off the SD card files now (not run through FCPX), should be up in 11 mins it says. :) 8GB
Okey doke - here's a straight off the card file - totally free of any Final Cut Pro import/export stuffs or such. It's 7.5GB, and includes the one section where it managed to get itself up in the trees a bit - but, it's also one of the prettiest shots I think we have lighting wise: drive.google.com/uc?id=1VLzJh_YnZOGXNy5ppO6qxIwlfIbJVWE4&export=download
DC Rainmaker - Please help,
Does the Skydio 2 support 10-bit or 8-bit?
I've asked Skydio multiple times and they won't give a straight answer.
It's not on the spec sheet, there is nothing about 10-bit listed there.
Months ago some news announcements said 10-bit, but since there's nothing on the spec sheet, I have to assume it's 8-bit.
If it's actually 10-bit, they are really messing up with the marketing.
We can't even find out if it has it or not.
We're currently looking into 10-bit, but it won't be available for first customers as it requires some tuning. This is why you haven't seen us talk about it publicly, it's still something we are working on and will hopefully be available in the future software update.
@@Skydio Thank you for clarifying!
Please also consider the other parts of HDR10 - Rec.2020 and HLG ❤️
I have built a HDR10 workflow, I'd really like a drone that works with it.
i feel we needed a glowstick B roll along with the music
Love the child’s trainer next to Daddy’s one.
:)
there are a lot of comments about how cool the drone is but I would also like to know where did you film this. The location is equally amazing.
Great vid
Thanks!
Amazing peace of technology! I am hoping that DJI is going to release a Mavic 3 that will be on the rang of the Sydio 2.
Me too!
Hi guys, I really like what the drone is doing but the quality of the video is choppy sometimes, is that a problem with the file or the quality of the video coming from the drone itself?
22:50 Are you trying to enter the corridor and can't? Is it possible to deactivate the sensors?
Correct, was trying - unsuccessfully. The drone needs 1m clearance bubble around it - but this wasn't wide enough. No method to turn off the sensors.
DC Rainmaker thank you so much. @skydio are you thinking in add the option of deactivate the sensors?
Maybe just shrink the bubble at lower speeds?
It was in The Netherlands? Great btw!
Where do you keep the beacon when riding?
So incredible
Nice! Interested to see how it performs in the mountains, skiing or dh mtb. The dji drones could not lower down when tracking. Hoping that this drone will do better.
Yup, looking forward to getting in some skiing soon!
Really nice video. I’m seeing a pattern though in a few reviews and flight tests, where there are unrealistic expectations. Not fair to expect the Skydio to find its way out of a mass of twigs - like hoping it can find its way out of a tumbleweed. The Mavic can’t even see twigs and would just crash.
can you share full size pictures from the SD Card?
Bravo!
I was surprised how well it navigates through the trees.
You have been filming this in The Netherlands??
How does it work near nofly zones?
How much does the drone weight?? TIA
Awesome footage. How fast does the drone fly? I can just imagine the sprint stage finish at the Champs Elysse from the side view like they currently do with a motorbike.
36MPH - so not quite fast enough for the finishing stage where the descents down the avenue usually reach a fair bit faster. Someday...
Hi. Is the Skydio 2 available in Europe? Thx for the great video
Sadly not yet, they’re saying by end of year.
@@Dcrainmaker Ok.Thank you for the quick response. So I ll gonna wait 😉
How do you think this would perform over water/ocean in proper conditions. I like to capture the boats (I'm on) as well as motorcycle rides. I currently use the Staaker which has a great battery time and speed up to 50mph however, no obstacle avoidance etc. I'd truly appreciate your opinion. Great clips and post. Thank you...
I haven't tried tracking with boats/etc, unfortunately, I lack one. My guess is if you find footage of Skydio 1 tracking boats, you'll be totally fine on Skydio 2. Perhaps the Skydio folks could chime in. The one caveat I'd note is that I'd definitely get the remote control for it - mainly so you've got the ability to get it back if it or you go out of phone/visual range.
@@Dcrainmaker Thank you. Without a doubt the tracker is non negotiable and thats the reason I bought the Staaker. Appreciate your work...
Skiing would be a good test
Say it with me... com-pull-ation lol
Imagine these drones at for example Ironman Hawaii, one for every popular pro-triathlete, live-streaming! Thats the future.
swoosh Unfortunately the battery life isn’t good enough yet, but when it gets there it’ll be awesome.
Yea i don't imagine it will be the entire ride or run, but certain key points and segments. And even then I'm sure there will be a fleet of drones, not just one per athlete to rotate through.
Ok, now imagine little sub-marine-like underwater-drones livestreaming the swim!
Kind of dizzying video. Still have a ways to go, but coming along. Maybe the next gen..
In general you can control where it goes. I'm often changing it to get different angles.
Makes sense. This is more of a GoPro type of shots. Very impressive. I have seen the cinematic video, now that is more my speed.
Ongelooflijk.
Does the bike at 22:49 have Bluetooth FTMS or ANT+ FE-C?
Yes. They have:
Wahoo KICKR Bike: ANT+ FE-C & a Wahoo Bluetooth Control variant (FTMS early next year)
Tacx NEO Bike: Same as Wahoo, just with a Tacx control variant and FTMS also shortly.
Wattbike Atom: Both ANT+ FE-C & Bluetooth FTMS
With this technology it makes no sense at all to have all the motor activity in the Peloton that we currently see. It's unsafe for the riders, it's unsafe for the spectators, and unsafe for the cars and motorbikes themselves. The action we could see would be an improved experience for watching too. Our News sources are converting to this instead of having Helicopters flying in the sky because it's more cost effective and gets better footage. It only makes sense for bike race governing bodies to change the rules but those dickheads won't do it unless we speak loudly enough. This stuff is awesome DCR, hopefully it enlightens more people to the possibilities.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
On 17 minutes where did the other drone come from?
Me. We were doing some filming of the Skydio from another drone for air to air footage.
How long does battery last?
Specd at 23 mins, I was easily getting 20 mins in very cold temps.
Is it just me or did nobody else see that the Drone hit a branch at 4:26? So it's not fail safe.
Yup - I discussed it in the main review video. That branch was thinner than the minimums they can officially see. But...as you see it recovered perfectly fine.
@@Dcrainmaker Yes you are right it recovered easily. Just wondering nobody mentioned it. Thanks for the video.
Where. Is this?
Netherlands
Bye bye DJI!
Shot at 60. Yuck
1st like.
