    That was a awesome video. All the videos I have seen about the SKYDIO 2 has been about the tracking and avoidance. It was great to see how far it can fly out. 1 mile is great for as big is.

    Hello there, great demonstration video here! I'm not sure if I will be clear on this question but I would like to ask if you had tried flying it from a far distance and having it detect itself from low battery and it auto returns home. Like the "Mavic Air 2"? In this video it seems like it was just out of range and it decides to return home, but were you able to test to see if it will find battery adjustments to make sure it have enough battery life to make it back to where it was launched.? I would really appreciate the info.

    Hey Dustin, when the Skydio 2 was in return home mode and you couldn't regain control, there was a red circle with a white X in the Motion Track box at the right hand top of your screen. Did you try touching that X to see if it would cancel the RTH and give you control? Also, it is great to see the mountain road again above the lavender farm. Lovin' Maui. Jess

    Great Video, now I know I can fly a little further. Would you recommend connecting the beacon along with the controller. I always have question this, things need to be a little clearer from Skydio. Really love this drone and the video it puts out..

    • @DustinDunnill
      @DustinDunnill  4 года назад +1

      Thanks. Seems like the beacon is only connecting directly to SKYDIO 2 no matter what. So the only reason I'd use beacon with controller is probably if I wanted to track another subject with beacon on it while piloting SKYDIO 2 from afar for better control. 3000 feet isn't bad for the direct connection. I'm going to try to attack beacon to some other RC vehicles and see how it tracks them 🍻
