- I'm stoked on the Skydio 2 Drone and the dynamic footage it offers for bikepacking, mountain biking, fat biking, and all the adventures I enjoy filming... and it does all the heavy lifting itself! This video explains why I purchased one, and gives you an idea of how I intend to use it in upcoming videos. Crack a beer and hit play :) #skydio #autonomousbaby #skydiofeaturedflyer

ide bikes. 🚲 Drink beer. 🍺 Live happy. 😀
That is pretty good. I stopped taking a Mavic out because it was more problematic than its worth. I too am a one person ride and film person. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for watching, Illya - glad you enjoyed - ride on!
I'm diggin' what you're layin' down. Can't wait to see more! Subbed.
Right on, thanks for putting out a great product... worth the wait :)
Drone technology has advanced so much. Those shots were impossible for the average joe not so long ago. Looking forward to seeing more
yeah, it's crazy how far they've come, Shane - pretty insane - ride on!
Dude. Excellent content and your info is spot on. I don't have a Skydio (yet) but have had my eye on it for over a year now. I think I'm close to making that order. I've had a Parrot Bebop drone for about 4 years now and also a DJI Mavic Pro (version 1) for about 3 years. Both are very good in their own right but for self-shooting footage while riding the Skydio is absolutely light years ahead of anything out there. What you said about the DJI's taking a TON of time to set up & launch and also the sketchiness piloting while riding to get those tracking shots etc is SPOT ON - I can attest to this as I have a lot of experience recording while riding and so on. I'm hoping to finally be able to place my order soon. Cheers
thanks for watching and commenting, Adventure Biker - the Skydio is definitely a game changer, best of luck and hope ya get one soon :) Cheers!
My husband came across your videos and couple weeks back and we've watched a few a day since.
My husband just made the comment that your content deserves more views because they're so good. They're super helpful, good quality, and completely relevant.
He plans on doing some bike packing here in Germany before we PCS in October, and realllllly wants to do the Tour Divide once we're back stateside. We've learned a lot from your videos, so thank you!
Also, I've wanted to take my Mavic Air on rides with us but filming at all always seems like such a hassle.
I'd actually commented to my husband when we were watching the Everesting video - I was like "I wonder if he has someone with his running the drone or if he keeps stopping to do it. Thats SO much work!!"
Thats incredible. 👏🏼
thanks so much for your kind words, Project Wink :) I'm glad the videos can help in some small way :) Ride on!
Project Wink, piloting the drone and trying to focus on riding the bike is way too much work! this new one is helping a bunch. thanks again for watching and commenting - ride on!
Looks sick. I was thinking about drones whilst watching your other videos I’ve been binging. And then noticed this video of yours.
the drone is great... but I just had a poor experience with customer support... left a bad taste in my mouth :(
Wicked tunes from 6:20 on... Looking forward to more awesome scenes....
thanks, Ravin - I appreciate the kind words :)
A little late to the party but was just telling my buddy about this drone super awesome another great review man
Gravel Pack, I've now been using it for a year, and still love it... only crashed it once and it was totally my fault... ride on :)
Not into the drone thing but it's easy to see it's a clear improvement and much easier to use so that will mean more cool videos from dirty teeth! ....the music track is another story and it's on my electronic Playlist on Spotify my legs just keep moving when the beats start pumping.... My kids love it too..... Happy trails in 2021!!
Happy 2021 to you as well, Rasmus red fire - thanks for watching and commenting!
The new drone shots are PHENOMENAL! The scenery is Incredible and your sound tracks are Great. Highly Motivating. :).
thanks for the kind words, Richard - ride on!
Thanks a lot for sharing the use case for the Skydio drone. And the footage is great. You definitely get my juices flowing to get out there for a ride.
right on, Vic - glad you enjoyed :) ride on!
That is so cool. New buddy to ride with.
thanks for watching and commenting, Mark - ride on!
Great footage, so jealous of that landscape, and the fact you can get one of these drones (not available in UK yet 🙁)!
Kajsa, bummer they aren't avail in the UK yet... hopefully one of these days! thanks for watching, ride on :)
Very very cool... Great shots bro
Thanks, Orlando :) Ride on!
Footage looks excellent and the Drone looks very simple to use. Happy New Year Mate.
Happy New Year to you as well, Mark - yes, drone is easy to use - even for me :) Ride on!
Just went out for 1st time in 3yrs on my bike, to see if i can get over a long term injury, loved it not sure my gluteus agree
You just gotta keep riding now so your butt remembers what it’s doin 😄
Dirty teeth. Thank you for the wonderful review on the skydiving drone. As a “one man band” like you getting drone footage with my mavic air is a challenge. As you stated the Mavic’s want to be PILOTED! This is the best review that I have seen for this drone as of yet. Certainly has encouraged me to go and pull the trigger on this piece of equipment. The one question that I have is does it fit into a regular backpack? Thank you again for the great review.
Jason, thanks for watching and commenting - totally fits in a regular backpack. surprisingly, not much bigger than my mavic mini case :). ride on!
Spectacular views!
you should come out here and take a ride with me, Marc - you'd enjoy it!
Oh the SkyDio is totally worth it for Cyclists and adventure sports. Yeah, the back order is crazy on them. But they are super capable. I've watched a ton of videos on them and some day I'll be able to afford one.
thanks for watching and commenting, Daniel - I'm sure the price will come down soon, and they'll get smaller and even better - ride on!
Dude, This Gadget Geek wants that......looking forward to the visual stories you will be telling with the Skideo. Glad I was drinking a Hipster JLB Hard Seltzer while watching really enhanced the video with the music.
dude you better bring some of that JLB to Pinedale yo!
Hi! Didn't know about this drone... It's spectacular!
Thanks for watching and commenting, Bruno - ride on!
Nice bit of kit, I’ll look forward to seeing more of his work. What you gonna call him lol. 👍🏻🤟🏻
Jay, good question - any ideas? My girls called my last one, "dronie" :)
Exelente video!
thanks, Axel! - ride on :)
Sick!
thanks, Jesse - miss ya man!
Wow, you have the most scenic skydio shots, what's the model of bike you are riding?
thanks for watching and commenting, mettlus- my fat bike is a Salsa Mukluk, my drop bar bike is a Salsa Cutthroat, and my full squish mtb is Niner RKT9 RDO - ride on :)
This is so cool! Congratulations!
Thanks, Scott :) Have a great New Year!
You as well. Looking forward to a new year , full of adventure !
Nice!
Thanks, Lonnie!
nice i gota get me one of them lol
FAT BIKE RIDER - thanks for watching and commenting... ride on!
Hey where is was most of this riding at, and the trail along the river how many miles can get there. your lucky with that riding in the wide open with no trees I see a lot of riders are having problems with it getting trapped in the trees on there rides But it does cover good amount coverage.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Mark - this test footage was all shot within a couple of miles of my home in Idaho. I've since used the drone in trees and it does fine, as long as you're careful..., it has issues with really skinny branches, fences, and power lines - so I keep it away from that type of stuff. But for the most part it figures a way over, around, under and through most anything... Ride on!
Great drone, just wish it would be a bit more compact
Me too, Jayson :) Maybe the Skydio 3 will fold up like the DJI's... that would be nice... ride on!
Cool vid. Can it navigate thru a wooded area? Is there a minimum distance it needs to be away from you while following?
That's the question I want to know! I have a Mavic Pro 2 that does well but looking for another platform!
th-cam.com/video/ToQS0aJJ1LA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching and commenting, Jim - so far it's done well in the trees... it figures out if it needs to go above, below, around, etc - the only issue I've had is with sparse trees here and there with skinny branches... I'll send it up high if I'm near those or power lines that it can't see... I'm not sure exactly how far away it needs to be when following... with the beacon, you can click between 4 distances... but might have more control with the phone app? - the Skydio site has a lot of info, and there are a zillion tech videos here on youtube that could help if you want more info... ride on!
@@DirtyTeethMTB thanks man, ride dirty!
I canceled my order cuz it was taking so long. Now i'm bummed i did! Did you get the sports kit?
I got the camera, the stick, and the extra batteries, card, etc - I think that's the sports kit? I heard the wait time is down to around 8 weeks now... get back on the list :)
@@DirtyTeethMTB I just got my Mini tho! Maybe i'll sell it.
First world problems, right? 🍻😂
I also Canceled my order. The wait was too long. I bought the Mavic Air 2. It is an amazing drone but was looking forward to the Skydio 2 drone, maybe I will get the 3 when that comes out.
@@special66dog I double blew it cuz i got the Mini 1🤦♂️
Thank for this did you get $900 or $1400 kit?
Chris, thanks for watching - I got the drone and the kit with extra batteries, beacon, and card... it was $1500 - my $100 deposit... so I guess that's the $1400 kit... ride on!
@@DirtyTeethMTB ah sports kit, I am still waiting for my sports kit to arrive
@@sabugdalantx gotcha - mine arrived all together... hope you get it soon, best of luck!
@@DirtyTeethMTB hopefully before spring so I can practice
Why don't you use an fat ebike. You can go longer distance
Sharif, thanks for watching and commenting - ride on!
