At 2:11 into your video, it looks like you stopped the mower for fear the drone would crash into the building. I think if you kept driving, it would have climbed over the building by itself to avoid the building. But I don't blame you for being cautious. :)

Just in case you haven't seen this video: It's Billy Kyle with his Skydio2. He is having it following them in a car with water all around, and I think the Skydio gets confused and flies directly into the water. Just my opinion, but I think the Skydio saw a reflection in the mirror-like water...

That's a definite problem with your camera, my Skydio2 doesn't have anything like that. Like @Lifeisfun said, contact Skydio and they should be able to swap/fix it for you.

I got one of these adaptors to better contain my smartphone on my Skydio 2 controller: https://www.dirtyjdesigns.com/collections/dji-mavic/products/skydio-2-phone-adapter-for-large-smartphones Seems to work well, and my phone no longer falls out.

I've never flown longer than 15 minutes. Not because it can't, but I was always sure to play it safe. The instructions say that Skydio 2 will display a warning to the operator when it has 2 minutes of flight time left. It will perform an emergency landing at its current location once its...

I had a similar problem - the Skydio2 works great with the Beacon, but when I try and use the Beacon AND my phone, I get a "disconnected" message on the Beacon, even when trying to connect to the Beacon's wifi (rather than the Skydio's wifi) on my phone. I will try removing the Skydio software...

Two totally different drones. I would recommend to have both, depending on what you want to do. If you want create Litchi missions, you have to use the DJI product. Litchi is not supported (nor is any waypoint mission) on Skydio 2 as of yet. If you want a drone to track your every move...

Got mine today - thanks for posting your photo, I couldn't figure out how to fit everything in the box. But with your photo, I should be OK!

I was testing my new Skydio 2 using its Remote Control. I flew it at about 70' altitude, to a distance about 500' away. When I lowered its altitude for a closer-up shot, it disconnected. I had never set any "return to home" altitude, so I was a little concerned. Does the Skydio 2 even have...

When I try and view your video, it says it is private.

Thanks for the info. Still won't pair with my Pixel 2 with the latest Android OS. The WiFi makes a connection, but when I run the Skydio2 software, it just sits and says "connecting..." and never pairs. I even tried "forgetting" the wifi connection like you suggested. *sigh* Guess I'll have...

I'm a little bummed, just got my Skydio 2 today, charged the batteries, and found out that it is no compatible with my Pixel 2 phone. Works fine with my iPad & my Samsung S8 (work) phone, however. The software loads on my Pixel 2, the Pixel 2 "sees" the Skydio 2 Wifi, but the Drone will not...

It says right in the instructions that SD2 can only detect things down to 1/2" in diameter. Not a good idea to fly in an area with little wires.
