Hey there Hey there VegasRobbi Success!!!! Your suggestion worked. I had tried charging the beacon from a USB C charger, but no joy. Once I plugged it into the Skydio2 it lit up immediately and said it was charging. What is strange is that I had my beacon fully charged before I began the...

No, I haven' No, I haven't tried connecting to the drone with the USB cable, I'll try that, but I'm not overly optimistic, there is literally NO sign of life with the beacon at all. But I'll give everything a shot.

I got the new update for Skydio2 yesterday. App Version 15.10.0 I downloaded the update for the drone and performed the update... no problems. Then I connected with the beacon and it sent the software update to the beacon... I watched the progress. It got to 100%, then it looked like it was...

Hey dmac No, I haven't been using HDR video, just conventional. I am using auto everything, but I am flying with ND filters... typically either ND8 or ND16. I'm very happy with the colours coming out of the drone, I usually don't do much with them at all in post production, but I do adjust...

OK. This may sound stupid, but just checking you aren't holding the beacon upside down :-)

I got back from a 7 day adventure motorcycle ride in the Victorian High Country of Australia. It was my first chance to take the Skydio with me on one of my offroad motorcycle adventures and it didn't disappoint. I edited up a special version just showing the three amazing skydio sequences...

Hey MauiMikey Thanks for your note. Yes, I have a Mavic Air 2 and it would have not survived the first run through the trees. Regarding the video production, thanks. My first career was in film and television, so I was formerly trained in all aspects of film and tv production (camera, sound...

Maui Mikey, I did my first tests last weekend using the Beacon... I really pushed the drone to the limits (probably beyond them)... here's my test. This weekend I'm going to test the controller and also the non-motion-tracking skills.

Video Production and Adventure Bike Riding.

Skydioconvert is right. If you use any camera in snow it will under-expose (GoPros, DSLRs... etc.) they all work the same way. The light meters are designed to expose to an "18% grey"... so they are trying to make everything exposed assuming its grey. Because the snow is white, it's...

Ouch, that sucks Carbon Racing. Did you have height floor turned on or was it off?

Hey Maui Mikey, I also use my drone for motorcycle videos. I had the Mavic Air 2 and crashed it into a tree while motorcycle riding. I just got the Skydio2 last week and spent the weekend testing it. OMG... No comparison. The Skydio is MUCH better for motorcycling videos.

Hey folks I just got my Skydio and decided to flog the heck out if it on my Adventure motorcycle in Texas Hill country. It was a totally scary experience, but OMG am I impressed. The Skydio is AMAZING. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it and can't wait to take it on some of my adventures. Here's a...

Thanks VegasRobbi... I might try that, but it is suboptimal. I have the beacon mounted on my handlebars on my adventure motorcycle, so ideally I was looking for a way of just tweaking it with a button press. But I know I can do it on the iPhone App, so I'll stick to that.

I've read some of the earlier discussions around iPhone audio. Yesterday I ran 6 tests and got audio on 2 of the 6. Today I flew and didn't get audio at all (but I was using the beacon). Can somebody tell me what the latest status is with syncing audio from the iPhone? Does it work with the...
