So after my last video with the Skydio 2 in the trees i had some people wondering what this could do in a faster setting. So i took my bike and went out to the fastest trail in our area to see how it would do!
The total flight time on this was 18 minutes, however there is a lot of just flat traversing and small climbs in between the faster downhill sections and I decided to cut those out to make the video a bit shorter and more watchable, If you guys do have interest in seeing a full flight sometime let me know. I would be happy to try and film an entire batteries worth of flight and upload it if that is something you are into.
The color on this video was straight from the drone and non graded. I synced the audio with my gopro footage, however if you use the smartphone app with the Skydio 2 you can actually capture audio straight from your phone.
If you guys have any questions or anything please let me know, I am happy to help. Also I should have a question and answer video coming out on Thursday!
I originally had a more elaborate idea and intro planned for this video, with the drone following my friend and i driving up the road in RZR, before getting dropped off at the top. But ultimately it just ended up making the video kind of boring right at the start so I decided to cut it and go straight into the action. If you guys want to see some RZR footage though i do have some i could upload at some point!
Thanks for watching!

This is so cool.. props in some few shots but overall the drone can actually follow.. damn!!.. i want to own this one.. thank you for sharing videos like this
Yeah no problem! thanks for watching!
This application is where that drone shined the brightest. The footage was great from every angle but I particularly enjoyed the rear left. I have never seriously considered purchasing a drone before but these few videos that you have done on these Skydio has me reconsidering... Great work!
Thank you! I appreciate the comment and view, I have been having a blast with it and just want to spread the stoke!
The footage is garbage.
@@tcpiptv ur face is garbage
tcpiptv Just curious, what are you basing your opinion on? I feel the footage is pretty good and the autonomous features are very applicable for mountain biking. Features aside the quality of the footage seems comparable to other drones in this price range. I have no experience whatsoever with any drones but do have eyes that can see and find the footage just fine for additional shots to add to a trail video. Personally, I would only use it as that, additional clips.
Scouts Honor Personally I felt it didn’t do that well when he tried it in the trees autonomously. It was better than others but not to great. I was intrigued by the simplicity of controlling this drone. Apparently it does very well in the trees while being piloted though. This was just the most effective result I have seen to any application yet.
Hope you guys enjoyed! If you have any questions at all please let me know, happy to answer any questions. I would really appreciate a sub if you found the video helpful! :)
Kyle: Were is the location of this video? ;- )
Kyle Warner who should buy this drone ? Is it only for moving objects.
There's a black and blue blur that appears in the right side of the video, especially when the drone is turning quickly. Is that one of the props showing up?
@@actionman9357 Boise idaho!
@@samtoshner8002 Yeah the prop showed up a few times in weird angles. I have shown the skydio crew and i think they will be working on it :)
Wow. This video could not have been made with any other competitor drone without an extreme skilled pilot. Even then it would not be this smooth and epic. Game changer for sure.
Yeah so cool!
This seems like tech that they've been teasing us with for a while now, and it's finally here!
Yeah so cool!
Not if you live in Europe😭
Kyle, you're a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks for the taking the time to provide the different types of shots. They really keep us hooked like flounders. The cuts to the chest-mounted cam are great too. These are the best Skydio videos, not a bunch of pseudo-intellectual RUclipsr bs trying to push us towards affiliate links, just useful content. Thanks, brougham.
Thanks haha, I am just trying to be genuine and hoping that it comes through. I appreciate the opportunity they gave me to play with this thing and I am just trying to pass the stoke along! Thanks for watching!
I ordered mine and have been pretty excited but after seeing this, I'm really excited. Skydio needs to show you some love for this video if they haven't already...
Yes they have and they are a great company to work with 😊
That's by far the best mtb use drone I have seen. They so need to get it over to Europe. Great video!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!!
This video does not even begin to show how steep, sandy, and rocky that trail is. Kyle is making a steep janky trail look like a casual flow trail. Excellent work man.
Haha thank you!
No doubt this company made an awesome job with this product. This is the first video I see its props at some clips of your footage. Probably because you've pushed it hard to follow you from the front. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏼
Yeah, I sent them this footage and they are gonna be working on fixing it :)
The synced audio of the wheels over the terrain and the jumps and such, combined with your voice, makes the video extra immersive. Fabulous job.
Thanks! I really appreciate that! It was fun to make!
Great footage and demonstration. I especially liked how the drone was able to remain focused on you and not confuse you with the other 2 riders when you caught and passed them.
Cheers, #theadventurebiker
Yeah me too haha! Thanks for watching!
Kyle Warner. You are awesome man. Your dedication to showing the drone and mountain biking community about the potential of this new drone is awesome man. Thumbs up and mad props dude. You're doing the community a great great service man! Rock on.
Thank you so much! i really appreciate that!
Man that landscape captured in your test is Beautiful. Great Test Sir.
Thank you so much!
Kyle, after all of these great videos you have produced SkyDio should just say never mind about returning the drone. I think you (and bakerXderek comes to mind) have done an excellent marketing job in showcasing the abilities of the S2.
Yeah i am hoping i will be able to keep it! They have been really cool to work with so far!
@Mark Barrentine AGREED!!!
I'm impressed with the performance here.
Thanks! Im glad you enjoyed!
Finally someone using this drone in a decent test situation you would use this in, instead of trying to fly it through a forest of brambles or make it follow you on a jog in a local park...the front follow definitely works better at slower speeds but has no worries keeping up...I have a Mavic 2 but as a snowboarder I really want this drone! Unfortunately it's not available until next year in Europe and also keen to see DJIs response
The quick turn just after 2:15 and the drone panning around to show the valley is such a good take on this ride
Yeah so cool!
Wow, did you see it miss that electric tower! Nice! I would like to see some of the movements smoothed out a bit more still, its tough to watch a super cinematic action shot go unusable in the middle due to a more robotic looking shift. I'm sure that will continue to get better and everything I've seen so far is amazing! Can't wait to play with it myself!
So crazy haha! Can't believe how good it is already!
I hope these guys are paying you for your videos, I have ordered one solely from watching your stuff, keep up the good work man!
They have been really awesome to me but i really just want to do these videos because i was super pumped the first time i saw the drone in action and couldn't find good info on it. I just want to help people see what it is and know what they are buying :)
Kyle Warner well your doing a killer job!
Great video man, thanks for posting this. I placed a down payment on one myself, wasn't really sure until I saw this. Great trails too and excellent riding, love the little woops sections!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it and you are gonna have a blast!
Front shots are the way to go, awesome!
Thanks!!!
Nice riding and great footage. Can't wait to try mine once it gets here.
Yeah best Skydio 2 Video i have seen on youtube.
Something like that is impossible alone without a camera crew.
I dont like those gopro 1.person videos.
Nice mtb.
I hope we can preorder it in Germany in some months...
Yeah, i just threw in a few gopro clips to show an actual sense of speed but I tried to limit it since the audience is more interested in the drone stuff :). Thanks for watching!
"I dont like those gopro 1.person videos." Agreed! I'm totally with you on this. A little bit of 1st person perspective like what Kyle has shown here is fine but the vast majority of mountain bike videos on RUclips consist of nothing but GoPro chest & helmet footage and little or nothing else. Those videos SUCK! There's no thought or effort much less creativity or story going into those videos at all. Total crap.
I think a nice mixture makes it. Great performance, thanks.
It's so cool to have such a personal photographer.
Yeah so cool!
This makes GoPro so old school :)
Haha right!
Give yourself a pat on the back, you are the real star here great job .
Thank you haha! Thanks for watching
this drone is crazy man!! awesome!!!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful man. Like you hired a helicopter crew to chase you. The front mode was impressive. Hard to gauge speed and intended direction from the front. It kept you considerably in frame. Those are some long wide open spaces.
Yeah i thought it did an awesome job!!!
Kyle, the Skydio 2 has made you very popular indeed! Good job! Geez, have you ever wiped out hard!
Super hard haha, Way too many times. I spent a lot of years racing and pushing the limits, now I am a little bit more of a product development and content role which helps keep the rubber on the ground a little bit more haha
Kyle Warner well be careful as you can! Everybody is loving your videos. Skydio, I am sure, is using your footage to tweak their software before the big release to the retail buyers! Everybody can't wait to get theirs! Take care, Tom
4:04 This footage is so sick, no need any human to shot incredible view. Wow impressive drone ! Btw the landscape is beautiful, where is it ?
Thanks! I am so stoked on it! The footage is from Boise Idaho
I can see everyone in the x games with this personal drone recording them with a live feed. The time we live in is awesome, I'm worried about actual copter pilots now.
I’ve been wanting to get one of these for ages, it’s a bit expensive but it’s so good, I prefer an automatic drone cause I can film and it won’t crash and it just follows me. Can’t wait to get one of these
2 days uphill, 5min down - awesome footage!
Thanks so much for this information as I came across it searching Skydio 2 mtbing video. I just ordered mine and can't wait for it to come in. Really enjoy following you both. Keep up the great work!!!
this drone will be great for when people fail.
hahaha so many epic moments yet to come
great out of the box shots I haven't seen for 2 decades but made from a copter
great show tonight on coast 2 coast
Thank you so much! It was fun meeting those guys!
That was awesome dude. Right on
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
That drone is incredible for this type of thing.
You can kinda tell its working really hard but there are a ton of really good clips in there if you're cutting it up with gopro and camera shots. This thing is sick
Yeah dude we need to do some surf videos in hawaii and see if we can get some cool stuff
Say hello to Brazil. Nice video, Nice drone, amazing channel.
Thank you so much!!!
This is absolutely the most coolest self drone tracking scene I Mavic user have ever seen I admit!
Thanks so much for watching!
WOW..Very impressive. So glad I got in on the first day of pre-order
Thanks! You are gonna be stoked!
Oddly enough I've yet to see a video using Skydio drone footage. I see tons of videos of people "testing" it to see what it can do. Looking forward to seeing what you will do with it.
This video was a good use of what it can do! We use it sometimes in parts of the video like this one ruclips.net/video/79CsyxIFDqM/видео.html Since we have started doing more how to MTB videos, we haven't been focusing on the drone as much, since we have so much camera gear already to get it done. We will try to do more in the future 😊
This thing is ridiculous. Love the footage!
just artistic shoot view. like a cameraman. so good take. and you are very good on bike. and DJI , watch this.
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
As always this is an awesome AF (autonomous flight) thumbs up! :)
Thanks!!!!
Pretty amazing! Saw some props in a few areas but man this thing is awesome!
Yeah its pretty cool to see what this thing can do! the props seem to only show when it gets really high and looks directly below but still would be cool if they could eliminate that!
Awesome ride Kyle... definitely great footage
Dang this slight angle shots are on fire... 👏👏👏
Yeah there are some really cool shots for sure!
Love the Video!!! I'm getting my SkyDio next week ... keep giving us shot ideas ... lol
Awesome, hope you have fun with it!
Dang! Nice ride my man!! Getting my Skydio 2 end of this month. Can't wait...I'll be doing more OneWheel XR riding but exactly what I wanted to see. The Skydio kept up with you perfectly. I think the video looks better at times following from behind (personal choice), but nice to see how it handles from the front as well. A lot of other drones have trouble following from the front like that so was a great stress test on this little guy. You crushed that ride by the way...nicely done! I use to ride mountain bike but after getting busted up one to many times finally packed it in...LOL Thanks for the video! Oh, one thing I did notice was around 3:36 the coloring of the grass seemed to change quite a bit. Guessing everything was set to AUTO in the camera. Not a big deal...just an observation...
Yeah everything was auto and i think the sun was behind a cloud for most of the video and then popped out right at that point! Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
Great video! Greetings from Finland. This is the best follow drone video in here for sure. I have seen so many DJI drone videos and they are not as good as yours. I also like how skydio is moving more than some other drones. Great job and finally the distance to rider was ok, not just a small dot in the landscape :-)
Thanks so much for watching!
Awesome...!! I love biking...but i love more the skydio 2!! I hope they send it to germany soon so much! ;)
Thanks for watching!
That is seriously cool, the trail looked super nice. Camera footage was awesome 👍
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!
Fun to see some killer footage from Trail 4. This thing is impressive. I feel like the footage looks a bit better when the drone is farther away from the subject. I think I'll pre-order one. (will be my 4th drone purchase)
Yeah totally, I think that with some time and experience you would be able to sort out what works best and I think to a certain extent using the 4k mode, a bit further back, and then cropping in during post may look really good and you could pick your framing a bit more
@@AprilRideMTB I'm accustomed to key-framing just about every drone shot I make, so I'm pretty confident I can get nice footage with the Skydio 2.
Damm just pre-ordered mine already. This is no doubt really impressive. keep up the good work going. Great video and review.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words. cant wait to see what you do once you get yours!
So excited to get mine!
Thats awesome!
AMAZING!!! Thank you, Kyle.
Yeah! No problem! Thanks for watching!
Very nice again! Very impressed with how well it did trying to keep in front of you and predict movement. Sure you can see the props a few times. but only after a quick direction change.
Yeah i was so stoked on it!
Someone should lunch an 2nd Skyudo to fallow the 1st one
That would be sick haha!
The first one needs to carry a beacon on it.
I did this a few years ago. The AirDog filmed the T18 autonomously. Here is the link. ruclips.net/video/sJiGCd3Dbu4/видео.html The T18 carried the beacon.
Wow, great idea!!!!!
Great idea!
Awesome, awaiting to receive mine
Can't wait for you to get it!
Love your channel - I'm currently on the wait list for skydio 2. Most the trails around me are heavily wooded... hoping for the best! If you have time, I'd love to see it follow you through some woods!
Amazing, drone shots a cinema movie itself as director 😊
Thanks for watching!
This Drone is on my wish list. Great performance and made in the USA! Now Skydio needs to make a $500 drone.
Yeah like a mini haha
I love that drone but I'm really impressed with your riding adventure.
Thank you :)
man can't wait til 1st batch ships!!
Can I cut in line? Lol. I'm on the third batch list
Yeah its gonna be cool to see what you guys do with it!
Thanks for putting these videos up! Super helpful. I'm jealous of your trails! Beautiful ride and scenery. Skydio 2 looks to be the real deal. Sure it has SOME limitations but it's the best thing out there for action shots at the moment. I'll be buying one for trail running. Should be interesting!
Yeah no problem!
started watching this to see some skydio footage. then I recognized the scenery and thought that looks like Boise foothills, cool.
Looks amazing!
It is!
Damn, now I’m convinced, gotta pre-order one. It looks flawless as long as it’s an open area, avoidance on trees are still a little sketchy. But yeah it’s the smartest drone available right now.
Yeah totally, and its just gonna continue to get better with firmware updates!
Great test at high speeds. That looks like an awesome trail!
So much fun! Thanks for watching
Hi Kyle its Eli and Sage that you met at eagle bike park earlier l love your videos and thanks for our posters!
It was awesome meeting you! Hope you guys keep having fun riding and say hi whenever you see me out there!
I just got one… possibly the first one in the UK.
First MTB filming flights this weekend.
I will take my time to work up to all its capability.
Very nice!! Looking forward to talking to you tomorrow!!
Yeah me too!!!
Amazing Drone ! and wonderfull trail, you are lucky guy to have trails like that ...
Thank you for the footage.
No problem! Thank you for watching!
So epic!
Thanks!
Indeed!
Hi @Skydio! You Have an Amazing product!! Any chance to see it coming to Europe/Middle East? I live in Israel...
@@gidonzd It's basically the only civilian drone produced here in the US, you have endless Chinese options to choose from.
@@xrellx I don't want them, I want the Skydio 2! Just asking if it is coming to my region.
This was a great video. I have one of these on order. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Thanks so much! I am glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for sharing great footage
Thanks!
Love Your Drone Footage Especially The Background Scenes. Skydio 2 Is Obviously The Best Drone To Own To Get Footage Like Yours. Can’t Wait To Get My Pre-Order In Soon, And Perhaps I May Want To Start My Own RUclips Channel Here In Hawaii On The Big Island Biking And Hiking Also. Thx For Sharing.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you so much for the comment and view!!! I hope you have a bunch of success with your channel!
Impressive! Very impressive!
Thank you! Cheers!
Dude .... how flippin cool did that feel...damn. technology man
Also choice grooves on this video
The follow function is good, and well worth the money for the craft, but I did notice a lot of props in the shots in the beginming
Yeah it struggles when flying in front and looking down. They are aware of the problem now though!
super awesome tech. What would be really awesome is if they implemented some self learning AI into the software that learns and gets smoother and better at predicting movement the more you use it. like it woulds start to understand the way your specifically using it then adjust how it flies and how it predicatively tracks you based on previous flights. I think that type of self learning AI could also be great for improving the framing of the shots. sometimes it does a really great job, but like at one point it was almost like the drone was flying backwards and looking at you upside down for a while haha
Yeah i think it would be awesome to pre set tracks or scripts and have it follow those directions. Maybe in the future! I will pass that info along!
Amazing footage, amazing riding, amazing trail. I hope to ride a trail like that in the future. I hope to fly somewhere like that too!
Thanks so much for watching!
SICK, fully pinned Trail 4 and it kept up
Haha so rad!
Where is this? It looks like a great trail
8th Street MX Trail #4 on Trailforks
www.trailforks.com/trails/8th-street-mx-trail-4/
Amazing, but I fear the demand will be so hight that one will struggle to get one. I hope that isn't the case, but from what I've seen from the method of pre-order, it could happen. Simply stunning.
Yeah i really hope they can ramp production well!
That’s some fast steep downhill. Btw Skydio is Skynet. hehe
Haha thanks!
This is great. Thinking about getting one. Only one problem though ,,,, I’m a XC rider and prefer not to carry a big backpack on me while riding. Wish Skydio 2 legs fold.
Yeah i think Skydio 3 will be folding :)
Pretty awesome, the best tracking quad out there.
Yeah its pretty amazing for sure!
I saw some props in the frames.
Yeah i let the guys know! Hopefully they can limit that in the future!
Great footage, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Just Amazing King of the hill
Thanks!!!
great vid cant wait to get mines..!!!
Thanks for watching!
Cannot fail to be impressed with this skydio. Great reviews also Kyle , terrific scenery etc and fair reviews.can you send it to me in the UK for a trial lol
Haha Thanks!!!
Darn I thought it was a Good idea Kyle lol
@@rodgercostello9814 haha im holding on to this thing for dear life!
@@AprilRideMTB darn Kyle ur no fun lol
If ur able get another one let me know...
Subbed on last video to be sure I saw this vid - whoa!
Thanks! I really appreciate the sub! Hoping to be able to do more stuff like this in the future!
Wow! That was amazing Kyle! Very impressive. Where you were riding? That trail looks like a lot of fun. 👍
Thank you! I was riding on a trail called trail 4 in boise idaho!
@@AprilRideMTB Sweet! Thanks!
Just a couple of years until this gets to Mavic Mini size for half the price and I can carry one in my pocket.
Nice video and what an amazing drone.
Yeah its gonna move fast! Thanks for watching!
Great follow me test!
The Skydio 2 takes flight control and obstacle avoidance beyond GPS lock and proximity sensors. Skydio 2 is a truly autonomous flying camera system. Nothing like it exists. Backorders (now 11/19) will not be filled until 7/20
Haha yeah, I am hoping they are able to ramp production. Thanks for watching!!!
