- I finally purchased a Skydio 2. I have been flying the Mavic Air 2 for about a year. I use drones in a lot of my videos. Being able to track myself autonomously is very important to me. The Mavic Air 2 has been fairly reliable. But, it is not always able to keep up on a lot of the mtb trails I ride.
The Skydio 2 is supposed to be the ultimate tracking drone. The drone uses both your phone and the Skydio Beacon to keep a stronger signal to the subject. I will be doing a bunch of tracking videos in the future.
This video is a quick set-up and pairing guide to get your Skydio in the air and tracking you. I pair the phone, Beacon, and Controller to the drone. It is a very quick and easy process.
Thanks so much for watching. If you're looking to purchase any of the gear I use, please help me out and click on any one of the Amazon links below. Thanks

Thank you sir!!!
Great ~ thank you for this excellent video ;o)
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing! I'd love to see how it will track a surfer with the beacon option. Any thoughts on that? We have DJI Mavic Air 2 but the Active Track is pretty much useless. The quick shots work perfect.
Thanks. I did a video with the MA2 tracking my son while he was swimming around in the waves. I will be doing a similar video with the Skydio.
@@uosocal cool. Can’t wait to watch it🤘🏼
thanks for sharing that Experience! Can you say something about the noise of that drone? You think its louder than Mavic Air 2? ps- About 6 months ago, I watch a skydio2 video follow a mountain bike, And i was so amazed, that take me to a decision to purchase a drone. The skydio was really expensive, so i purchase an used spark...
I hadn't really thought about it. Maybe a little higher pitched. The Skydio price just went up again. $1350.
I have them both. UOSocal is right? It's definitely higher pitched and a bit louder than the Mavic 2. I actually prefer that it's louder that way if people are around when it's following me they know it there and it's not like I took them buy surprise when passing them on the MTB trails.
Bro let's meet up! I just got my Skydio too. Live near Los Angeles. I ride a electric skateboard, do you have one?
I don't. I ride mountain bikes a lot. Im hoping this drone will do a better job of tracking while on trail.
@@uosocal It kills the Mavic in it's ability to follow MTBs on the trail. Check out ruclips.net/video/vqi-yiqYZpQ/видео.html
Thx! Do we need the contoller or the beacon or both? I dont understand why can't phone act as the beacon and controller for traditional flying? Very confusing.
You can use just your phone to fly and for tracking. The connection is limited to a wifi signal. You can only fly to a short distance. The beacon has a much stronger signal, and can therefore track and control the drone to greater distances.
@@uosocal thanks. Beacon is more expensive than controller. So why use the beacon when phone can track for follow and controller can fly long distance
If you're doing any kind of high speed tracking, ie. mtb, motorcycle, wind surfing, the beacon is a must.
@@uosocal not really just running and bicycle. I have a DJI Mavic air and active track is horrible.
I'm currently testing the Mini 3 Pro. It's tracking really well. Uploading my first tracking test with it tomorrow.
when you connect your beacon to the phone. will you still see a live video on your phone while using the beacon?
Yes.
Hi I'm having a problem with getting the drone to hook up to my wifi so I can get it to update.
In my phone it'll say it's connected without Internet but my Internet is working just fine.
Thank you in advance.
No controller but it's listed.
Says password or log in is wrong .. im going off the sticker
Check all lower and uppercase.
@@uosocal yeah just tried that and still grounded , but thanks 🙏
Are you using the cable?
@@uosocal (no) was trying to connect through Wi-Fi
@@uosocal I tried to plug in from my phone to the drone directly too.. still nothing
