Skydio 2 Autonomous Drone That Never Crashes!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 дек 2019
- We check out Skydio 2, the new autonomous drone that is the successor to one of our favorite products of last year. It's smaller, faster, and more powerful of a self-flying camera drone than the R1, but also somehow costs less. We head to Skydio's headquarters to take a look under hood of Skydio 2 and learn how the company designed this amazing drone!

We just got our review unit for Skydio 2 and are starting to test it! Full review forthcoming. What do you want to see us film with this drone?
YES!
Adam Savage’s Tested
Hey
Can you beat this?
ruclips.net/video/j8-mg4li7lc/видео.html
I mean, can you make it better?
Maybe some lights, or something better than that...
Adam Savage’s Tested could you please try and film some BMXers at a skatepark please?
They’re usually smaller spacer and the movement to tricks speed will vary so I’d be curious to see how it copes with that and smaller places with multiple people around.
Really excited about this drone in the future.
The 360 avoidance system looks so good but I just wondered how well it will do around overhead cables as they can be tricky to see with human eyes let alone optical cameras. It looks like a fresh direction Skydio are taking, I really wish them the best.
The registration process...
Well.. thats a CEO who knows his product , from all points of view. Love his professionalism and innovative thrive.
I love that this is made in the US
Its innovative in the fact that its 2020 and the drone doesn't fold up!
@@Techgiant real the chip make in us?
@@Techgiant 😂😂😂😂
@@Techgiant Now that's obviously the important part here.
Wait. it's not even true.
hm
I'm amazed on how professionally they approach development process. So futuristic approach too. Wish them success!

Well explained. It is rewarding to hear someone give a full back story with important facts about his product. No hype or sales. Love it. More inventors, owners and reps should follow his lead. Bravo. Going to buy one.
Title: this drone never crashes
Me: Allow me to introduce myself
That is what Leo Laporte "The Tech Guy" says. He manages to crash every drone he buys.
As I write this, we have videos of the Skydio 2 crashing into a power line while chasing Ken Heron's motorcycle ( ruclips.net/video/YCaMhBwMgHw/видео.html ) and into a lake while chasing Billy Kyle's car ( ruclips.net/video/EspuKPWvfk4/видео.html ).
Glad to finally see some other people get these in their hands !
Cheaaa!
I need this to capture some view ropes
Fellow mushroom tip here.
Very forward thinking going on at this company. Thanks for the tour Norm!👍
Wow. This guy know everything about the product. Love such kind of personal who work with Ground level people. All the best for your up coming products.
So... Santa... I’ve been really good this year.
-Nerf-Herder- I want to up vote twice. Once for the comment and once for your RUclips tag name. Lol
Santa doesnt exist , but your bank acount will desapear after buying it 😂😂😂 (sorry for my english)
Riiiggght ! Me too!
Funny how many have hit powerlines in the last few months
Great video. It got me convinced and now I want one.
When watching this I immediately thought of the way this kind of drone could benefit wildlife preservation causes: checking in on tagged animals without physically interrupting them, observing territories without ever disturbing the landscape, keeping an eye for illegal/poaching activity... This is amazing!
A little drone like this isn't going to have the flight time you need to do missions like that.
@@Plur307 The concept, not this specific drone. :)
Or big enough to put a stretcher on? 😉
@Jevon Frost Pardon? I’m not sure why you would want something like a stretcher for a drone for automated tasks.
Love the in-depth background that isn't just about the pretty pictures and not crashing.
Hell yeah! Coverage by this channel is such a good thing for Skydio.
huyked 2000 extra nerd points for Norm!
@@MattBargain
He can trade it in for two Skydio 2s. ;)
Practically Everything I've learned about drones has come from this channel.
@@davidjordan2789
Nice. I've only started to have interest in quadcopters when the Skydio came into existence. Didn't want to crash a $1,000+ camera to the ground. I feel Skydio has one that's less likely to crash and burn a hole in my pockets. xD
Wow! I haven't been following drone tech closely... I had no idea it was this advanced! Impressive!
Great interview, we got a look into the thinking and concept behind a game changer.
I love to watch a show like this one, learning something new every time and it is nice to see all the great engineers out there.
This would be so freaking cool for mountain biking
Oh yeah, I'm on board. What a great company. Smart guys that have a clear vision and think outside the box. Just like the Tesla crew.
Damn I love this so much! Stuff like this inspire me to keep on learning programming and get into a university for Computer science
What wut be funny is if someone put the beacon for Skydio2 in a FPV free style quadcopter. Would love to see if it could follow in an entertaining way lol.
Dang I’ll have both once i get the Sky2
Very fair to share the steps of prototyping the Skydio 2 with so much explanations !!! Thanks a lot, very interesting. Not a lot of developper would do this!!! Very nice drone and incredibles performances, hope they will keep going that way :)!
wow i feel so lucky to be living in this day and age! just WOW!! Phenominal!
These guys are going to take this company in so many directions. This Drone Works amazingly well!!!!
Glad to see the progression of Skydio is so positive,
That's absolutely phenomenal!👍
Best vlog on Skydio 2 ✅🙏🏼👍🏼
Just got my skydio and it's amazing! Crazy drone videos here we come!
yeah...make some videos to see how 4K and gimbal works!
Oh, hey there!
Oh, hey there ! How did this go?
Shalaco hey! Hope you’re doing well 👋
Great interview. Great tech!
I was amazed to drone Skydio 2, a new discovery in the world game of drones that can provide all what is desired by the pilot and make it easy for beginners though. I congratulate the team who have tried to provide all the conveniences in the world of drone games. Good luck and continue to be the leader in the future. I could only see and admire the products Skydio 2 through youtube, hopefully in the future I could have Skydio drones. thank you very much.
I saw a few nice spots in the video I like to camp at in my home made camper and have one of these super cool drones to play with while camping
Technology in another level that's really nice probably one of the best drones out there
I really admire those guys who have unlimited genius to create so many future-oriented products. Thoughts change the world!
So impressive this Copter, i need one!
Love this. Terminator HKs are comming!
I like the fact that it's not made by dji , it's probably not something I could use without
having a personal tutor first. I get the feeling that I am not user friendly.
Great video. I'm sold. Where was that filmed?
Awesome and good luck with the Skydio 2 Autonomous Drone
NICE WORK.
"We bet the company that we'd be able to figure it out"
High risk, high reward.
I really like the attitude though.
Is funny because Elon Musk did the same risk with Space X, I guess it requires to take great risks to make great innovation.
gotta risk it to get the bisquit..
Pre ordered, 2020 will be interesting
That segment where they showed the 3D map generated by the drone's cameras (17:45 - 18:25) reminded me of that scene in Prometheus, where they send the little drones out to map the corridors of the alien vessel.
When are we getting the full hands-on review?
Wow. Awesome video...
Great product, do you see the flight time being extended? Ordered the sport configuration today...
Man, I might have to get one of these.
Saw Prometheus in 2012, thought those 3D mapping drones are coming soon.. Yrs later used Matterport a lot and thought if that software can be combined with a drone...
Seems like a consumer version of a fully automated mapping drone is not that far out. Could be a big thing in real estate.
Can't wait to see someone do a snowboard slopestyle run with this drone on follow. Curious if it will be able to keep up.
It only does 36 mph. A quick run down a hill will leave it behind.
I want to see how the 360 avoidance deals with overhead cables like phone lines etc. They might be tricky for the cameras and disastrous for the drone.
Get Schwifty I suppose as processing power gets more efficient and cheaper, computing thru millions and millions of pixels from a higher resolution camera would be able to pick up those high tension electrical cables. But I suppose we’re only limited to how fast we can process and compute calculations.
See the video from DC Rainmaker. He tested it in an environment full of branches and most of the time the drone has avoided it quite well. I think if they will be able to provide updates to it will be quite perfect avoiding even overhead cables.
Seen it fly through a forest, a few cables shouldn't be a problem.
Some dude literally ran through a forest and dodged stuff pretty well
@@hegeds It did have a crash but the thicket was mega thick and it tried to find a way out 2 to 3 times and auto corrected and "re-thought" the process, in the end there was not a clear path of escape and it tried the best path. It caught a branch about 12-14 feet up and bang. On a good note it survived and slew with no damage. It is not a product for me and what I do but very impressive 2nd gen tech.
Not only is it cool tech, but it looks absolutely amazing. It’s sleek, clean, and modern.
Nice drone, great Jobs
Wanted to ask about what seems to be a FPS drop in the footage when the camera tilts and pans? Is there a reason for this?
OK, so I really want the bird's nest/ automated drone house/launch thingy to be added as an accessory! BTW when is mine shipping?
love wat u guys did with this drone , but I hav one question .... y didn't u guys make ur own receiver....????
That is an impressive drone!!!!
Great vid! What is the purpose of the little shark fins molded into the body by all the tracking cameras?
How modular will the parts be for repairing or replacing?
The CEO looks like a wonderful person and a great future awaits the Skydio Company
Ahhhhh gotta have this thing! 👍🏻👌🏼😁
Looking at the video on their website, the video is very pixelated. It looks to me like the camera is not great, especially in bright sunlight, which is when you would be using the camera. It might just be the video compression they used, but I'd be interested in taking a look at this. The rest of this is pretty amazing as far as the tracking goes.
You judge how good the camera on a drone by the video on RUclips?
@@knife-wieldingspidergod5059 No. I went to their website where they uploaded it directly. And it does look pixelated. Could be a compression problem due to the limitations of the site they downloaded to. I would love to see some real world testing or get my hands on a test model and test this for myself.
Am I the only one that thinks this thing would benefit from having a landing gear, to use it as a perched stationary camera?
It seems like an obvious security application: fly over this roof, land on it and synchronize with the other perched drones in the area for instant static surveillance of the perimeter.
Most flat roofs have a raised edge around them much taller than the drone. Most residential roofs are far too slanted to land on. In the USA I would imagine maybe 10% of roofs are capable of being landed on with a small drone like this and seeing anything.
You'd also have to account for battery life.
@@Plur307 Not sure how necessary it is, but I do feel like there's something there. What I imagine is a couple pairs of spikes. They could be very cheap and lightweight, perhaps even retractable, and would be ideal for landing on most shingled roofs. Wouldn't even need to be sharp enough to risk puncture or scrape damage, and could be easily replaceable after wear. With the size of the unit, I can see it being nimble enough to land on ledges (such as those surrounding flat roofs), that are narrower than the unit itself.
Definitely not the only one thinking about these for security use.
@@JD2jr. I imagine that with their automatic docking stations, this would come as an "event mode" that you can trigger with movement sensors around a building, or schedule around a specific time, if you are expecting a VIP. In any case, the battery life of a perched drone is longer that one in fly-by.
man this is badass!
So awesome!
I wonder how robust is the lens on the 360 sensors. Will they scuff and scratch easily, like my Insta 360 camera that I repaired only to scuff again and leaving a blur spot?
Amazing how far drones have come and so happy I can be part of an AI startup myself
Security applications could work great! Lock-on to a suspect and this drone can follow him wherever he goes relaying position and video feed to first responders. Airports, outdoor events, etc. Endless possibilities. Great work guys!
for 30 minutes !
Please can you test the follow me mode with the Beacon on the water in some water sport like surf? Is it water proof?
Damn impressive.
This is the future of drones!
This is fantastic! I had never heard of Skydio until I heard about it today on Bret Tkacs' motor cycle instruction channel. I found this video so that I could find out more about the company, and the product. Very interesting stuff!
I just checked the pricing on the Skydio website. Looking at where the competition has been, from a pricing standpoint, I think that Skydio is giving quite a lot of value per dollar.
I can hear my dji phantom 3 STANDARD crying in the storage room
It is
old tech. That's normal
😂
All the DJI modders be lol'ing
really nice design, the beacon feature looks amazing
Wow great!
Does this drone have programmable routes or will it in the future?
it does
Question for Adam: the tether feature A-B is this in a straight line ? Would it be possible to have a feature where you fly a sequence say, along the side of a road with a long sweeping curve, then fly up to a spotlight position. Save the sequence and get the drone to repeat it ?
In effect pre programming a cinematic sequence.
I agree - A string of more than two waypoints, or a curve/arc/spline would be a good expansion of the capability.
I'm guessing that would actually be very simple to do, just not simple to explain in the video. =)
So jealous. I was one day late on the preorder, which equals a month and a half extra wait time😭😭
What an incredible company
I absolutely love this drone idea and want one,the only small thing I wish it had was like folding arms or some type of smaller form factor to make it perfect,at least for me that is
wanna be friends?
i need this asap!
Maybe I'm stupid but like why not use this in conjunction with VR inside out tech? Is it already a thing ? Is it to much data to process ect?
Anyone know why the propeller design is such? Besides looking cool and different!
I believe the Skydio will get better and better!
That dude is a full freak 😵 I love him 😊
their 3d mapping is super impressive.
So when will we able to buy one here in Australia?
Can you adapt the controller to fit a 10in tablet, please?
I've seen videos of this drone where people are deep in the woods and the drone does not crash. It is really impressive. I would never do that with my DJI mavic pro. Never! This drone is a real game changer!
wow. top notch.
Amazing look all the remaining to complete the greatness is getting licence for it and it easy to has :)
1000 dollars is actually a fair price for a drone like that .
It's a steal, tbh
If you can fly it at night. No night videos. Just day 🤦🏽♂️
Unfortunately it’s NOT ONLY $1000 it’s at least 1150$ because you need the controller at least and if you want to have the USP of this self flying autonomous drone you will need the beacon. So you need both items to use it and that is $1300 and to have an almost equal flying time you’ll need also at least the value of half of a battery , that’s $1350 to have a specific advantage in comparison to a MAVIC . If you compare , camera less good, flying time a lot less, at the moment still some software problems, a lot less good controller. So everyone can make his choice for this , but the price difference to a mavic pro 2 is now shrinked to $350! $1000 price comparison is only for people who can not calculate or can not compare well enough.
@@InvincibleStormFilms FAA sets drone rules. Not the company.
@Zane Zuccaro u serious???
I find what the drone sees to be rather creepy in a way. Very interesting tech though. Lots of improvements over the first model.
Garrison64 Why do you think it looks creepy? Don’t all drones & foam planes look creepy? 😂
@@pricelessppp The simulated sight, not the drone itself
I'd be interested to see how it handles in the woods of New England with the long wiry scrub bushes that the Mavic 2 Pro just cant sense on Active Tracking
Having the props on the underside at the front is going to make hand landings quite dangerous. Maybe not generally a problem - but I watch several sailing channels where launching/landing from a boat is currently impossible without having a crew member catching the drone for landing (tiny market, I know). Maybe they'll have options for protectors for the front props at some point or maybe autonomous landing targets that can be placed on a moving platform, like a boat, that remove the need for manual intervention.
You could get something 3D printed. They might do optional extras for it in the future.
So how to get that drone in UK? What would be the total price for it in here?
I myself prefer the FPV experience i have yet to find a hobby that gives me the feeling of flight the way fpv does but i do think what these guys are doing is awesome i mean its pretty amazing to have a cinematic drone able to do the things this drone does..pretty awesome..
It's ment for activities that don't let you fly it by hand or even think of it flying around you.
and the electric scooter seems kool, what model is that?
It's something I really want to have a drone. While drawing pictures, they are watching images of drones. Oh, I want to have it.
Unbelievable for under $1000. It's nice to see this. So many times you watch one of these amazing products videos and they are so ridiculously expensive nobody will ever buy them.
Why are thoughts of the latest ghost recon coming to mind 🤔
wonder how it would handle snow, in mountains :)) something tells me it should crash in cloudy winter, awesome products though !
