Hey Everyone, here is a video a little more tailored to the people asking me about the technical capabilities and options of the drone. Like I said this is all still in Beta so it could change a bit but these are the features I have been playing around with over the last month or so.
I am really sorry the first part of this video was ruined by the wind noise, Like I said i will have all of the follow track modes and one shot skill features out in a video next tuesday.
I hope this answers some questions though and helps you guys out. Like i said if you have any questions at all let me know!

Kyle Warner hey dude thanks for sharing videos like this.. keep it up 👍.. anyway one more question can this avoid thin wire? Just curious
Its out of stock do u know some where else that sell this drone
the next batch will be out early next year I believe.
I think they say to stay away from powerlines and cables but mine has avoided some.
Does anyone know how long it takes to charge the battery??
You do a great job with these videos! Just a couple questions regarding the beacon. Can you adjust the distance on the preset modes (like Circle and Dronie)? Does the beacon allow you to take pics and switch between photo/video mode?
Thanks! So far on the beacon you are really able to only pick follow, fixed track, steer and hover. I haven't found a way to take photos with the beacon and if you double tap the center button it will do a dronie but it is not currently adjustable from the beacon :)
@@AprilRideMTB Thanks Kyle!
Kyle, I have really enjoyed all your Skydio videos. Thanks for this video as it is the first one I've seen that goes over the controls and app settings. I'm in Batch 1 and look forward to flying this drone. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much! I am glad you enjoyed!
cant wait...cant wait...arggghhhhhhh!!!!
Haha its almost here!!!!
Thanks for showing us all the settings on the app, especially nice to see all the camera options. And for going over the Beacon and the Parrot controller. Great video Kyle.
Yeah no problem! Thanks for watching Ron!
@@AprilRideMTB I sent you an email, I was hoping to get you on our live show sometime. Happy Thanksgiving.
Best review of features ive seen of the Skydio 2, not just this video, but all that i have seen, excellent job .
One question, does the beacon have a lanyard ? Would be ideal to hang around you neck while riding.
Yeah it does have a lanyard!
Another good one Kyle, nice job. Question, have you seen any photo options that allow pano photos, auto 360 captures, and time-lapse that initiate an auto capture? I’d also like to know if waypoints and recorded waypoints are possible, these would be useful tools but not sure if this is out the gate or possibly roadmapped.. 🙏
Hey Joseph, Thanks, So far i haven't found any pre programed photo settings but I will ask them today and as far as way points there is a "cable" mode where you can set predetermined points and fly between them :)
Dude you should be a mtb coach! I’ve learned so much from you, and April the past few months.
Can't wait to get mine I'm in batch 2 which is in January then with the winter weather doubt I'll get to fly it much in NY state until spring. Eventually I'll get some cool supermoto wheelie shots ;)
It will be so sick on the super moto! Orbit wheelie!
Wondering if there is geofencing and or altitude limitations, make me nervous that the only way to land is by hand. I preordered and can’t wait ! Good job on the vid man.
Hey Sean, on my beta drone I don’t have any geo fencing but I’m not sure what final version will have, and as far as landing, you can just let it land on the ground by itself as long as the ground is somewhat level!
you re a normal dude but better than some pro's! I ve njoyed all the videos really nice and informative.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that
Great stuff kyle
Thank you!!!
Love your content mate and your intuitive commentary. This drone is a game changer. Can’t wait to get one. I was about to buy a DJI glad I didn’t. I will wait till the Skydio is available.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that. Just trying to be real and have fun haha
Very interesting video, thanks
Yeah no problem! Thanks for watching
Great infos Kyle! I think for AF (autonomous flights) you would only need the beacon. For manual flights I think the controller is handy. The beacon though does not display the altitude and the drone distance from you correct? While the controller + phone & app will show most of the information (altitude, how far the drone from you, battery of drone and controller and of course all the camera settings?). Also is there an RTH (return to home) in case something happens? For the Mavic Pro if the controller lost communication to the drone it will do an RTH automatically. Also you can set RTH in case the battery goes low (can be set manually). And I don't mind its not a folding drone like the Mavic, since folding arms tend to break through time.
Thanks! I will do a RTH test for sure! i haven't see those detailed stats on the app yet but like i said I am still in beta test so it could change moving forward. ill do my best to check out those questions and address them in the next video :)
Come on Skydio !!!
Haha almost here!!!!
@@AprilRideMTB i hope soon in Italy :)
It's especially for tracking people, cars, and other things in motion. And it's able to avoid all things on its road.
Next time you need to test the return to home that's like the biggest thing for me.
Ok will do in the next vid!
I feel both envy and anger that you have one already. Lol. Nice job on the rundown. I actually think it's great you're not a "professional" as you keep it simple and straightforward for us normal folk.
Haha thank you! I am just trying my best and learning every day!
Thank you for really good review videos! I would like to know what happens if it runs out of battery and you don't land it. Does it search for a "flat" surface and lands itself? Can you change the return to home point during the flight, so it doesn't try to fly a few kilometers back to where you started, but with almost no power left in the battery?
Yeah it can do either! I will test that next video for you though!
Hey Kyle thanks a million!
some questions to consider. You've done a extraordinary job man, really stoked... I appreciate all the effort you put on these videos keep it up!!
Can they allow you to do close up takes on the drone, the gimbal and camera positions.
Are you worried about scratching the 360 cameras?
What would droplets or condensation do to navigation?
Size comparison with other common items?
Can the case fit in a "regular" backpack (compares to a 13" laptop)??
Hey ramon, thank you! I will do my best to look into the questions i do not know but i don't feel super worried about scratching the cameras with how they are laid out, The case is about the size of my 15 inch macbook but a little more square and fits in my backpack well! I am not sure on the close up shots but i will ask!
The coollest drone i ever see, hope the skydio2 release in indonesia😊
Yeah pretty amazing what they have been able to pull off!
thanks, good video, i love the dron, an the e bike...
Thanks! I appreciate that!
Thanks for this!
Hey Skydio, I know you're watching. 8012 order here, any chance production times are better than initially stated?
I am hoping to hear they start shipping in the next two weeks!
@@AprilRideMTB I just sold my Mavic 2 Pro...no need for two. I hope the Skydio doesn't let me down.
Kyle great job! Couple questions
- will it autoland when the battery dies?
- how can you go back and find it if it gets stuck somewhere and you keep goin without noticing?
Yeah so it will auto land if battery gets too low and it should ping the last know gps location on and app if it gets stuck!
Great video, thanks ! I thought I'd seen videos where the Drone follows the beacons direction as you move it around ? Or do you have to push the buttons in manual mode to make it move ?
No you can use the "wand" Feature still!
Hi Kyle! Firstly, thank you so much for all your videos, they're really awesome to watch and super informative! I'd like to ask a question about the Skydio 2 if I may. How well does the obstacle avoidance work with a moving object? For example, if the Skydio 2 was following a car through a winding narrow forest road and a truck happen to come from the opposite way, would the Skydio 2 be able to avoid hitting the truck?
Can't wait to be able to buy this beast in Australia!
Thanks!
In my experience it has done pretty good in those scenarios but i will do my best to test that for you in the next video!
good stuff man. new sub. im really thinking about getting one too
Thanks so much!!! I really appreciate it!
i like your videos on the skydio. watched them all.
when you turn the drone on a horizontal axis is it only possible in one speed or can you slow down the turnaround ? (for slow landscape videos for example)
Yeah you can go whatever speed you like! you can also set the landscape shot as a cable mode and do it that way
Thanks buddy
No problem!
Nice videos...bro 👍
Thank you!
Could you test the skydio 2 in a low light area to see how well it navigates? Also, does it recognize the difference between land and water? Finally, Will it perform a return to home landing when the battery level gets really low? Thanks.
Yeah i will make sure that the return to home button is in my next test!
@@AprilRideMTB Thanks Kyle!
Does that arm adjust to allow an iPad or only phones? And if only phones does the company have an accessory to allow iPads to be used w/controller?
And would of loved to see you show use of the RTH feature
I believe there are gonna be adapters available!
Kyle Warner yeah always third parties, just hope the company themselves have thought that thru as the build on all I’ve seen is solid and would love that same design quality in an adapter. And thanks for taking time to reply very kind of you, and totally appreciate it.
nice man if you record with the gopro in the next video use linear mode so its not fish eye distorted
Yeah i always battle with that haha. when i film linear its much harder to keep everything in frame without a monitor but it definitely looks better!
Your headline deceived me. I thought you were gonna use each different device to fly it. I was wrong: no phone-only flight, dang! Maybe next time... Watchable video nonetheless... thanks :)
Sorry for the confusion! I hope it was still informative!
Kyle My Friend. I Always Love Your Videos Especially The Skydio 2 Ones. Plz Don’t Take This The Wrong Way. What Hurts Me The Most About Your Videos Is You Showing Us Your IPhone. Which IPhone Is That. The Phone Looks Prehistoric. Meaning Your IPhone Still Has Bezels. It Really Hurts To See That IPhone Now. I’m Just Trying To Get You To At Least Update Your IPhone Bezel Free. Still U Love Guy...
hahaha! Thanks for the feedback! Oh man, yeah it is an iphone 8 plus with a hugeeeee otterbox case for when i crash on it haha
very nice ...you said you weren't sure about the audio ...I guess it was worse than you thought ...great vid !!
Yeah haha i finally called it at 11pm and just did the office shot
@@AprilRideMTB understood ...audio wasn't salvageable. Dude I watched the ad for the Felt Compulsion ....very nice !! you a bad man on a bike ...AND THEN SOME !!
Hello! Very good review, thank you a lot! Tell me please when you take skydio2 in your hand during landing is it safely for you?
Yeah it is safe as long as you catch from the back :)
Can you please do a full review of controlling just with the phone. There are different screens to control different ways. Also if it takes multiple inputs.
Thanks Kyle so it is always a good idea to have the Phone App enabled and the beacon while flying?
Just curious: What is the device you're using to showcase the software. It's too small for a typical Mobile Phone. Please enlighten me 😉
haha!
How crap is the external mic adapter on those gopros, we lost some good footage because of that. Jump on ebay and see if you can find those foam wind blockers that you put the gopro in they do help. We are going to get the hero 8 external mic thing when it’s out.
Yeah its so lame!!! I am gonna get an 8 with the media mod when they come out just because of the mic. The only bummer is that the new "tabs" on the 8 that connect to the mounts are pretty loose and make a bit of wobble and noise. Really wish they would have worked on a better solution for that but I think 7 with wind muff for action and an 8 with media mod for vlogging will be a good set up
Kyle Warner If you don’t like the two tabs I ordered a hero 8 frame just like the old 5,6,7s jump on ebay and have a look.
Hi, does it fully supported for android phone? Hope unlike DJI.
Yep! We support Apple and Android.
yeah they will have support for both
Hello! Tnaks for the video. What is the actual fly time on the drone?
Thanks! I have been averaging between 18 and 22 minutes
Wonderfull. Thank you!
What happens if you put the GPS in another drone or something else, it follows without problems, right?
with that you can make very cool scenes
7:59 this is the maximum the gimbal can luck up?
im not sure haha! and that wasn't the maximum that was just a quick point i stopped. I will test the max!
Thanks for the video. Appreciate it! Can the gimbal point straight up for you?
Hey thanks! I haven't tested the gimbal limit yet but I think it goes pretty high, it isn't mechanically restricted so if it does have a limit, it is just a software limit
Kyle Warner thank you!
Thanks. Can't wait to get mine. How high can it go?
Honestly not sure but I will try to ask!
Which is faster, you on the ebike in turbo mode or the drone in boost mode? And more importantly, which makes more brap noises?
hahaha! Drone in boost for sure but ebike is more braap!
Thanks for sharing the video. On Drone Therapy S3E29, you mentioned that you crashed S2 and cracked one of the sensor lens. Was the drone flyable with cracked sensor?
Hey Nicholas, Yeah i did have a small mishap when landing and ended up cracking one of the sensors on the bottom a few weeks ago. The drone was not flyable with the cracked sensor, It threw an error code when i tried to fly it
Kyle Warner, would the warranty cover on such incidents?
Quick question, once you set the video settings/camera settings using the phone app, do those settings always stay the same with each flight ?
For u, this is the best "drone" for mountain biike? with a little backpack and nothing more? Greetings from Chile.
For me yes it is the best drone and usually i use a larger backpack but i was close to the car on this flight so i brought the small one
nice video but you did not cover any of the flight mode settings. Rocket, dronie, etc. You should cover those next.
Yeah haha, that what I said in the intro. All of those got ruined with wind noise. I will have another video on tuesday!
@@AprilRideMTB oh thats what you were talking about. very cool cant wait. any word on expected deliver for third round pre buys? JUNE??
Can the beacon accept multiple inputs? Can it control the gimbal?
how about the phone through the beacon with multiple inputs including controlling the gimbal?
I mean multiple inputs at one time. so I can press more than one button even three and the sky idea will react all three inputs.
Hi. Does the controller has the HDMI output? Or can it output to a secondary screen/monitor? Thanks in advance.
The controller only has USBC and USB A ports
@@AprilRideMTB is there any way to output to ext monitor?
More please
Next Tuesday!
You forgot to show us how to control the drone by waving or moving the beacon by hand
Shoot sorry! Check out the video i did "anyone can fly this drone" i show that feature a lot better. I did that section in the footage where i lost the audio.
Yes I saw that video already 👍🏼
Is there a reason you didn’t use the drag and drop feature on the beacon? Pretty much the easiest way to position.
Shoot sorry! Check out the video i did "anyone can fly this drone" i show that feature a lot better. I did that section in the footage where i lost the audio.
i must be missing something here but why does the controller say "Parrot" on it? good info on this demo. thanks!
@@herpinghighlights7144 ok got it! i figured i was missing some info as no one else here on this thread made a comment about it. thanks for the clarification.
Scott Breeden I think they will have Skydio printed on the production model.
yeah what they said haha, just a partnership!
I am still waiting for mine ):
I heard they are shipping soon!
Can you pilot the drone with your phone like you can with the remote control?
Yeah you can!
Why won’t my controller power on when I opened the folding arm. It is fully charged!
Thats so weird. Did you charge it using the usb port or the usbc port?
Good vid presentation and thanks
I understand there are two “return to” modes: home and beacon or controller.? Is that true. I also understand there is a light minimum for flight.? How dark is to dark? Again I understand the is a way to adjust clearance so as to be able to fly in confined spaces.? How does that work?
Hey bob, so a few of the things you asked are questions i haven't asked them yet, I will get with them and try to provide answers in the next video!
Thanks Kyle
I am in batch 3
The return issue would be a plus but not a deal breaker. Low light would be an issue especially in search and rescue type missions. Many lost people are reported because night has arrived. This is also the case with confined spaces but I have seen at least one vid that shows clearing a. Dry confined space so that has to have some way to address. Again, thanks, your vid was great!
Thanks Kyle one additional question please. As the controller is the parrot case does that mean all the controller hardware or just the case? Also will third party things like tablet holders and range extenders work with the Skydo controller just as it does with the parrot controller?
Is Skydio2 noise friendly or noise pollution?
Its quieter than the original mavic
Do you know if the the controller comes with the drone? Or is it sold separately?
when will the Skydio 2 be available outside US?
Im honestly not sure! Hopefully soon though
Australia uses 25fps. How will that resolve? I think Europe is the same.
Why in the world are we a week or two from it shipping and the software is still beta?
I think everything is pretty much final just wanted to state that in case some minor tweaks happened. I had a huge update on Sunday that made the functionality a bit better and more user friendly so i think it is really close
Ilike this......badly:
Haha thanks for watching!
I want the Skydio in FRANCE
Idem as Geralg I can't wait ......arggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
To Kyle : I love all of your videos, very useful, very interesting ....... from France
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. Just trying to learn and have fun right now :)
Is it possible to have it follow someone else while using the Beacon?
It is on the phone app but not beacon only!
Does it allow for Raw and Jpeg?
Yeah i go over that in the phone app section along with the manual photo adjustments!
It has both options
@@AprilRideMTB Thanks so much!
Anyone know or ask how the app works on a Samsung Galaxy 8 and above. Thanks
should work the same :)
@@AprilRideMTB Thank You..I should of used the word "compatibale with" rather then works with.
I did see the requirements for android and looks like I will be fine with S8 with softwaqre version 9.
Thanks again for the reply. Nice work!!
Screen capture, have you heard of it? I was really dizzy with your video, you pull the phone so much and the point doesn't seem like that.
Yeah sorry about that, i learned about screen capture shortly after making this video, wont happen again! I hope you still learned a bit, i am just trying to get better with each video but its a steep learning curve haha
Can the Skydio do orbital mode while following?
To a certain extent yeah, if you are going over 10mph or so it will kind of stay in one zone until you slow down and then it will start orbiting again.
Thanks for the reply wasn’t sure how they got that shot in the video on their website of the mountain biker and it cutting through the tress to get back in front of him. Thanks for your videos on the Skydio 2 can’t wait to get mine!
How to buy im from the Philippine
Maybe check a us shipping service?
your volume lil low @ beginning
Thanks, I have learned a lot about editing and filming over this past year since making this video!
This is Parrot Anafi controller...
Yeah they partnered with them on the controller, the production version is the same, just says skydio and has some different features
Is it just me or is the sound just really quiet
Shoot, I haven't noticed that yet but if someone else has the same observation i will work on my audio levels! Thanks for the feedback!
@@AprilRideMTB it's just the first minute. Apart from that the rest of the video is no problem.
I really enjoyed your videos about the skydio 2
I think louder than mavic, it is not close to the microphone most of video
what is "all the way up" ?
The moon? lol
I heard it gets really hard to control once you get into low earth orbit!
@@AprilRideMTB lol
Pas en France en pré-commande, ils s'en foutent les ricains , mais d'une force rhaaaaaaaaaaa
Thanks for watching!
WOW....Ellie Mae and I definetly disagree....I really hate to criticize but this video made no sense. I'm really sorry, I like your channel and you seem very genuine and interesting but that was a horrible tutorial....you just randomly clicked a bunch of buttons without explaining anything. Maybe this will make total sense after I get the drone but not useful right now....sorry but it's just my honest opinion.
Sorry if i didn't do a good job, Like i had said in the intro i planned on it being a much longer video but the audio got messed up from wind noise. I had been getting a lot of questions about what settings were available on the drone and just wanted to show what options you had. If you have any feedback I am totally willing to listen, i just want to try to get better and have people enjoy my videos. What could i have done different to make you happier?
I do like your channel and just read you're from the Northstate! 👍. I dont make RUclips videos so is a little unfair for me to criticize (like not voting and complaining about the President). Anyways, if I had any pointers it would be to just slow down a little, maybe dont try to tackle such a large and somewhat complicated topic all at once.....just do the remote control, then another video on the beacon etc. Also, if there is a way to project the controller or beacon screen onto the tv screen itself (not just recording it) and then go thru it on screen where we can actually see the screen better.....a lot of drone channels do that when going in depth about say the dji go4 app...check out Billie Kyle he does a good job editing and explaining on his videos...anyways keep up the posting. I enjoy your channel!
@@1xraydoc Hey thank you for your feedback, i tried to improve a bit on the latest video. let me know what you think. I really do appreciate the constructive criticism because i want to get better and grow the channel!
Why every time just this same guy showing? If Skydio can't make a product run and start to sale the drone please don't post any film on the RUclips ! this is cheating !
Sorry if i'm bugging you with the videos. They just sent me the drone to help beta test it and I wanted to show people my experience so that they know what they are getting into before making the full payment. I know a lot of people put down the $100 dollar deposit and I just want to help them get some more info on their purchase. I was told that they are hoping to start shipping in the next two weeks.
What the heck is wrong with you? Kyle is trying to help all of us to learn the system better because he's a real beta tester. Stop trolling!
I've sent email to skydio with my frustration for not updating delivery date - in October should stated late November - let youtubers inmate 1st of November bad PR
