    Great video Billy! However, we would like to remind our customers that flying near thin branches/wires goes against our standard operating guidelines and can potentially void your warranty in the event of a crash. Another thing, we have a Dual Charger accessory available in our store so you don't have to charge your batteries via the drone.

    I was hyped when I saw the initial specs on the Skydio 2 and put in a deposit. Slept on it and after a couple of days got the deposit returned and am glad I did. I am a senior drone flyer in addition to being a FAA flight instructor for many years. Therefore, having a drone follow me on a motorized skate board is not my normal day of drone flying. You have more guts than many of us to be distracted with a drone while traveling 25 mph on your board. Have to hand it to you for your balancing act to show off the obstacle avoidance features of the Skydio 2!

    @rapaent 4 года назад +1

    Thank you Billy for the awesome video! I'm in batch 2 patiently waiting to have the S2 in my hands. I totally agree with you that the autonomous isn't quite there yet. Reason being, it hesitated a few times while you were on the bridge while following directly behind you. I.M.O., the bubble around the S2 needs to be smaller/tighter in distance. I feel that it should have followed you without hesitating due to the wide span between the sides of the bridge. I saw somewhere in another video that this tighter bubble has been implemented in the S2 software Pro Kits. If this is true, it should be there for all of us. I also believe, the S2 would fly smoother keeping a steady distance from it's subject if this was in place. Other than that, I'm super excited over this drone as a motorcyclist, snowmobiler and boater. I followed and learned so much from you since day one of owning my DJI MA. Can't wait to see more from you on the S2. Thanks again! 👍👍😊 Peace back at ya!✌️

    • @RidefreakTV
      @RidefreakTV 4 года назад

      It would be nice to see the bubble you described be dynamic, I don't think it is and the drone has to consider it's avoidance at all it's speeds, not just going slow. I was told it needs a meter on each side to navigate through obstacles otherwise it seems to be hunting for the path through whatever it comes up on in close proximity.

    • @rapaent
      @rapaent 4 года назад +1
