Lifeisfun: It’s been a while since this thread was posted, and I just wanted to know if you have had any additional experience with this scenario. I am planning a boating outing, accompanied by a friend with a jet ski, and I would like to film some tracking shots of both. Tracking the boat while...

The Skydio2 is obviously better tracking in the worst terrain, but if you want a nice aerial view tracking from 100 feet up, the MA2 wins. And with the beacon, WHY can Skydio2 not handle that small task?

As expressed in some internet videos I’ve seen, some are disappointed that Skydio will not track from a distance, so the scenery is sometimes not revealed. Of course doing frequent fly away selfies with Skydio2 gives some distant landscape shots. But I have yet to have the Skydio track me at a...

Most of the videos I’ve seen posted on the internet seem to be shot in 4K 60 or 30, HDR auto settings. I assume automatic settings are necessary when tracking something and switching sides, etc. where lighting conditions change. But I was wondering if anyone had experimented or tested with...

I think I knew that Autel was a Chinese company that had US support ?? and Autel and Skydio, the American based co. , have no reason to collaborate.........I was just imagining a potential way for two “Davids” to take on the DJI “ Goliath! “ Skydio seems to have cracked a big nut with their...

I had the same problem using the controller. After launch, I typically take a drone straight up and look around ( to focus and make camera settings on my other drones ). I have noticed my Skydio2 will never ascend above about 35 feet until I put in a few forward and backward moves, then I bring...

This is not news I read......just a dream I had. Full disclosure.....I own a Skydio2, an Autel EVO 1, and a DJI Mavic Pro Platinum. It seems that the 2 “American” companies above will struggle to get market share from the innovative behemoth that is DJI. Both Skydio2 and Autel EVO have...

I have flown The Skydio2 over water several times over bluffs, beaches, and tide pools off of the California coast and have had no problem. I was using a controller to capture landscape shots and was not letting it autonomously fly itself. I also was staying clear of obstacles and careful to...

I received a response from Skydio, which follows below. My problem has been with the controller and phone, not the beacon and phone, but here it is........ you might start with the WiFi turned OFF, and then let the beacon direct you to turn it on to connect. Weird I know. From Andrew at Skydio...

Leenanj, thanks for your reply. Seems to be a headscratcher on this forum! I’ll try your solution. Thanks!

I have had my Skydio2, controller, and beacon for about 8 days. My first flight was with the controller about a week ago and everything worked flawlessly. Now I cannot get the drone, controller, and app ( IOS ) to link up and work together. The app alone, and the app and beacon work together as...

Sounds ridiculous that flight is tied to SD card capacity! That must be changed! From several comments above, it sounds like you can format the SD card in the app. Can anyone tell me how?

What if you run out of space on the SD card the moment your Skydio2 is over a pond? It will land? That cat can’t be. Tying
