Thanks buddy, just completed my purchase today so I should get it pretty soon. These 25 thing to know were helpful thanks. Video wasn't to long, a lot of great info in only 16min, not bad at all
One thing I know is that this drone would dramatically increase the potential I have with my exploration videos on TH-cam. Trying to fly a mavic over waterfalls and through the woods is tricky. After watching your whole series on this drone, I need one. Now all I need is money 💰
3:57, the dirty sensor is 100% the reason why I just keep a 24-240mm on because everytime you swap lenses you have to take a picture of an all white screen to ensure all the hairs and dirt are cleaned off the sensor and the inside of the lens. 24-240mm isn't too good though as the edges have blur though it could be because f/8 is not night enough but I haven't used another lens at f/8 on the A7III to actually know. Always at least pack some APS-C or Full-Frame cleaning swabs before putting it together.
Excited to get mine... when I get a notice!
Great video and great insight Billy!
Thanks for watching!
Like the talk. Got mine last week. Flew it once and the sun went down and it started to come down. Like you said, RTH is not so good. Going to bike with it soon.
The fact that the battery separates from the drone in a crash is probably, in most cases, a good thing as it reduces the force of impact that the drone body will experience.
Good info, thanks! I've just put my deposit on a Sydio 2 Pro kit.
Lots of useful info delivered quickly. Thanks!
Billy. I’m sorry this don’t have anything to do with this video but you was the only way I could get a honest answer. Someone on TH-cam stated they spoke to DJI and they said you should not use a IPad with the Mavic Mini. Can you tell us why.
Thank You
Glad you mentioned this... I was going to purchases one until I saw this comment, lol. Time to do some research I guess.
Sky173 I fly mine everyday with a Ipad and have no issues at all???
@@ModernDayTemplar606 Thanks for that. That's good to know.
Very good information. Skydio should give you kudo's for this.
I simply wish they would finally send mine.
Coast to Coast Drones' Got my “finalize” your purchase email yesterday.. 👍👍👍
Great content! I'm just getting used to mine!
Cool! It's a fun drone
Thanks Billy I’m going to use everyone of yoyr tips thanks again
Good Tips !! Thanks BK
I have been wanting to order a Skydio 2 after seeing many TH-cam's like yourself review it but then I heard that they are out of stock! Is this true?
Great tutorial, any suggestions to track a Motorcycle?
I have to remember to turn off wifi on my phone when I'm using the controller. Great list.
Happy New Year. Can you use the gimbal whilst tracking? thank you stay safe and healthy
Billie and everyone else who's interisted in this drone, MUST SEE video of utuber Kendal Martin[ Skydo 2 full controller flight,What gaps can it FLY THROUGH?] You will be amazed at how GOOD IT FLIES Thru openings you yourself cannot get thru, and how this could be the BEST Search and Rescue drone out there, well when the suns out anyway. This video shows what the drone will do with the controller and well its amazing, and contrary to what a lot of other utubers are saying. CHEERS and Enjoy Steve h.
Great video Billy
Thanks Billy ... mine should be on it’s way as of yesterday so I’m excited to fly it and really appreciate all the time you and some others (original dobo) have put into giving us all a sneak peak of the pros and cons. Cheers! P.s. I saw my first Skydio in the wild this week at a park and pursuant to your comments about the controller, he had a funny take on it, he said it wasn’t really a “controller” but more like “a suggestion box”, LOL, meaning, “you want to fly straight in those trees and shrubs?,” that’s the “suggestion” but the Skydio just did it’s own thing and found it’s own path which was anything but “straight into” the trees and shrubs. :-) It was amazing to see though, I would never in a million years try to fly my M2Pro in there.
You Never Disappoint!
Good video man. I still like the drone. Didn't know some of these things about it. Haven't got one. Thank you Billy
Great video. Unfortunately I am already on my second skydio 2. The first one lasted about 3 days and I'm completely terrified to fly the new one. I would love to return it since advantage of my skydiocare once they won't let me return the drone. I'm really afraid to fly this thing anywhere which is unfortunate because you're supposed to be able to fly it just about anywhere within reason... As of right now I have a brand new controller and a brand new drone sitting in the box. Set to lose probably 400 transaction
great video -- thanks so much for the good info!!
Very good resume . I just order the sport kits and the skydio2+. I have an android phone of 5 years old Motorola G6 and a IPad Pro can I use the IPad on isos 15.3 ? Understand it’s big but to begin learning maybe ok what you think ? If I can use it would I will able to recording on it….stupid questions from beginner
To prevent the battery from popping out, could I put a velcro strap around it to secure the battery?
very nice and knowledgeable video. I like to use it for for kitesurfing alone. is it possible if it can track me autonomously in water while surfing and when it is close to end of battery, it can come back and land at beach on its own, without any intervention, or it will land in ocean at the end ?
Is there a video on changing the prop?
Question. Did you have any issues with the remote controller constantly disconnecting from the drone during flight just 30 to 40 feet away? This is with my phone's wifi being off and in airplane mode. The beacon, however, works great! Anyway, Skydio so far has not been a great help in resolving or providing some possible solutions to fix this. Thanks!
I received the Skydio 2 today and took it for a test run using an iPhone 11. Performed okay. Freaked out once because the app crashed while it was tracking. Relaunched the app and all was okay (whew).
Also, can someone confirm?
When the app is still in the background (ie no longer flying and phone is now in my pocket) and it is still on Skydio wifi, 'Find My iPhone' doesn't work (even though there is GPS/Cellular). I couldn't find my phone an hour after finished flying and Find My iPhone said it wasn't connected. When I (manually) found my phone (in another room) the Skydio app was still running. After I closed the App, Find my iPhone could locate my device.
Amazing info, Great Job Kyle!
Hi Billy - How can we pre-program a mission of waypoints? E.g. A SfM topography mission with main camera interval shoot? Is there a way to create a mission and upload it to the GCS or platform and have it follow the track, e.g. like is it possible to build a mission in Mission Planner software, or Pix4Dmapper, or other similar app? Would definitely prefer to stay off of an online service like dronedeploy or similar.
Did we ever get an answer to this? I am looking to do a comparison for this.
@@joshuawhite8256 I never heard a reply, but figured out that DroneDeploy works well for this... Maybe do a free trial to see if it works for you. They're are a few other proprietary mission planner softwares that speak the Skydio API too.
Thanks for the good info 👍
From what I've seen, 2+ fix some of the issues. I wish they would make the skidio arms fold like dji.
Really great tips...
future moves this way!
Hello, I have a Samsung Note20 5G phone, the Skydio app has been installed without problems, but I can't do the optical motion track, when the drone sees me, or sees a car, a bike, or a group of people, it applies a "+" on each of them, but if I click on them, nothing happens, the spinning trail I’m expecting to see, does not appear around the subject,
So I’m missing the best features of the skydio, orbit, dronie etc., only the cable mode works, to be motion-tracked I must do it on the beacon ... does anyone else have this issue?
The pilot seems to be an afterthought.
Thanks Kyle! Good vid👍🏻
How is the sound level of the Skydio 2 compared with Mavic 2?
26. how can I set my shutter speed to 1/4s slow shutter for hyperlapse?
27. Video spec not much as DJI, why NO 25p or 50p in there ??
28. NO flat color mode for grading purpose.
Maybe I am the first Skydio 2 in Hong Kong....! OK, I just play ard this little monster for 3 days, and truly its not same experience as DJI.
Found from their official web site, they will announce a advanced controller in future,so looking forward updatessssss....
full length record is stopping me , how can i hand the file to editor
CaN this drone be programmed to fly a preset 'course.' Or, can it be programmed to fly a course it has flown previously...??
how is this drone with power lines and cables?
#1 thing to know is you can't access the 3d capabilities w/o paying Skydio $3800 for their bloody software.... never explained this when I decided to buy... sneaky....
Thank you, I have one on order. Good to know
Our Skydio 2 does not do the keep dropping then go back up.
Hi Billy, great video. I had a quick question. I am planning on buying a drone for myself soon to compliment my photography hobby. The FAA rules on what I can and can't do seem a little unclear to me. If I wanted to post my videos on TH-cam or Facebook as an easy way to share with my friends/family, would I be required to pay for and take the part 107 exam? I don't have monetization turned on and don't plan on turning it on.
I’d say you’re fine. People will claim that it “furthers your business” but I don’t think it’s necessary if you don’t intent on profiting from it. You even said that it’s a hobby.
@@billykyle thanks man! It is certainly only a hobby. Putting it on TH-cam just makes it easier to copy a link to send around. Last thing I want is the FAA sending me a letter 😂
@@neyland94 Why not try to get some money out of it, the Part 107 is not hard and takes less then 2 weeks with study time.
@@Vashtstamped I've thought about it. Maybe once I am through grad school it can be a weekend gig. Is the test that straight forward? I always see advertisements for courses claiming it's difficult.
Yeah it’s pretty straight forward. I’d put some time into doing a training course or poke around on some TH-cam videos.
It will work with a google pixel 4 ?
Crap i charge the battery and didn't remove the gimble guard
How to get it?
Anyone know how i can order one, besides skydio ?
You mean the people that make it, put your deposit and wait in line like the rest of us.
John Nealey i did😂 that was a joke 😂
A rubber band can stop the battery from popping off and losing 15sec of footage
Nice list Billy
I'm sorry, but telling people not to use HDR is bad advice. I use it all the time and it does wonders. Just because HDR didn't make one shot look better, doesn't mean you should never use it. HDR gives you so much more range of shadows and highlights in post color grading.
I've used a HDR a few times, but it just seems to make everything darker. I most have been trying it in the wrong light. What lighting situations would you suggest to use it in? And I loved your last Skydio 2 video.
Ron Brown anytime you have bright sky and dark shadows. It’s what keeps the sky blue instead of blowing it out white.
@@KendallMartin Thanks I will try that next time I'm those conditions.
#22 Major drag :(
I learned I def don't want a Skydio 2 🤣
Are you selling a beacon?
Wanna sell it ?👍👍👍
Two or three times you crashed the drone. Really?
whatcha got in sub 250
hey man not cool you trying to get drone users criticized as you were driving a car with no hands messing on with your drone at (12:11) come on fool
Useless tips
For the price it’s bull shit that the nothing comes with it
For the price this drone cost you can buy a Chinees man who runs 24/7 after you whit a go pro
