    This is how I wanted Skydio to follow

    love the biking. but the drone action... there was a lot of skill there in terms of flying. but they kind of wasted the drone. only a few times did the drone operator try to make the camera movement interesting. most of the time, it looks like footage that you can capture with a GoPro...

    Video editing software

    If you guys want something free, try out Microsoft's Clipchamp. They recently changed the limitations so you can now do a lot for free. For a one-time paid inexpensive option, there's Adobe Premiere Elements, there's Cyberlink's PowerDirector, A lot of cheap options actually. just search for...

    what phone should i use?

    I haven't used the Fold phones with Skydio, but it works well with my Surface Duo 2. So "not supporting" doesn't necessarily mean "doesn't work". What "not supporting" usually means is they want to reduce liability and narrow the scope of customer support. They don't have the manpower to test...

    Help me decide - questions I can't find answers to

    you guys are spoiled. I had a 3DR Solo and that thing felt like years before it connected... :ROFLMAO:

    Skydio 2 Crash Video

    pretty sure any lost footage was footage in the buffer that wasn't written down in time before there was a disconnect to the memory card. there's no way to avoid usage of a buffer because the smaller the buffer is, the more chances you have of glitches in your data. all you can hope for is all...

    what phone should i use?

    I personally use my Surface Duo 2 which is awesome. But would a tablet work? That sounds like the best way. I'm not a fan of most of today's smartphones because they're all getting skinny tall. I hate that narrow aspect ratio. The Galaxy Fold devices sound great but they're so delicate and...

    Just put in order for Skydio2+!!

    Just bought the sports package for Skydio2+! A coupon got me to jump in (as well as my Skydio 2 dying from a crash). A bit painful of a purchase because I was aiming to get a $3000+ lens for my Canon camera. Now that will have to wait for a bit.

    crowded environments

    I like the random motion as long as it's smooth. Yes, sometimes it can be jarring. My original intention was to have the drone on one side and then drift it to the other side, eventually having it rotate around and cover all sides. But thanks for your insights!

    crowded environments

    have any of you tried to use this drone in crowded environments? So I've had really good experiences with my Skydio 2 drone in typical drone environments (nature-type outdoors in sparse areas where it's very easy to track a single person). But recently, I participated in a street parade that...

    Video editing software

    windows users get nvidia. nvidia support on mac is awful to nonexistence. while I love AMD for their CPUs, when it comes to GPUs in the video space, there's no contest as everything works better and faster with CUDA than with AMD's equivalent. the Mac experience is a nonfactor for a Windows...

    Keyframes are crazy amazing!!!

    I loved the 3DR Solo. I actually picked it up when the company was imploding so I got it on a budget and it was a lot of fun. They were so advanced for the time and it's so sad that DJI won out. If it had obstacle avoidance and didn't depend on the very specific GoPro 4, they could've gone...

    Keyframes are crazy amazing!!!

    YouTube really destroys a lot of footage and it's hard to reason why it happens because it's hard to pinpoint the reason. Like I uploaded a video that was pristine (not drone footage) but after YouTube processed it, there will be a green frame near the beginning. I erased and reuploaddd it and...

    Keyframes are crazy amazing!!!

    the video that he (or whoever they hired to do it) was incredible. the proof is always in the results so unless you're trying to say that the video was fake and not filmed with the Skydio 2+ and keyframes, then it's not really important that he works for Skydio. if anything, the video is an...

    Keyframes are crazy amazing!!!

    thank you! that was really helpful. I can't wait for it to get more robust! In the meantime, we work within the limitations. I guess for New Year's, I'm going to have to brush up on my flying skills... It's already a stressful day as I'm primarily a photographer and videographer, not a...
