Blue Mountains Adventure Ride - First with Skydio 2 Drone
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 бер 2021
- Just over one week to go before my Victorian High Country 8-day ride. I wanted to have a full dress rehearsal with the Skydio and the new gear I'd mounted on my bike. I grabbed a few mates and we spent the day up at Newnes Plateau in the stunning Blue Mountains. Found some amazing trails and sights.

Really cool! I ordered mine today. Thanks for the video!
Stunning! Nice work.
Can we get one of these in Australia’ yet????
You have a lot of pent up demand in offshore markets. I saw Skydio just closed a $180M raise. When are you going to sell overseas?
@@brentbat a lot of pent up demand ...most of all we got is crap dji but I bet they might even catch up soon with their active track.
Absolutely a stunner !!!!
Australia is a paradise for off-road riding.
Yes, we are very very lucky. Incredible adventures here.
Excellent vid, and some class scenery.
Brent, this is incredible, mate.
Great footages, cinematic views are incredible . one of my friend is inspired with this kind of video editing, exploring . he was immensely inspired with your video. once again thank you for the great effort you put there in the travel, with your travel buddies. keep up the good work and be happy. Advance happy Christmas.
Thanks for your comments Jayesh. It's a labour of love. I enjoy combining two of my passions. If your friend is inspired bystanders the video/editing, he should look at the tutorial series that I've put together (one on camera work, one on editing and post production). Take care.
I can't wait for us to be able to get Skydio drones in Aussie. Everything I've watched on these drones is amazing.
This skydio drone is completely on another level. I need to get one.
Excellent video, Brent. Nicely done integration of GoPro and Skydio!
Wow !! Amazing place and views you had for lunch !! Thanks for the scenic treat from 🇨🇦
I have a Skydio drone in order, just waiting for delivery. Your past videos have inspired me to order one. Thanks.
Wow, the tracking and flying of that drone is amazing. Great video, looks like you had a ton of fun.
Roy, I had a ton of fun. It was great riding with the Skydio and also editing the footage.
Cracking find in the Blue Mountains mate! Pumped to see your Vic HC trip🤙
Great video Brent :) Aussie Skydio Owners unite ;) The footage these things capture is incredible.
We can start our own Aussie Skydio User Group (just the two of us :-)
How did you manage to get the Skydio 2 in Australia? I want to order one online and have someone from the US send it to me.. will it get stopped at customs?
Epic Brent! The footage is amazing, nice work on the colour too. Can't wait to see what you produce on the High Country trip. Ride on!
The more I watch this chanel the more i enjoy it, nicely done Sir!
Awesome! As usual. 😁
Great video! Can’t wait to test out my Skidio tracking ability with my adventure bike this weekend. The riding looked awesome. Hopefully someday I will make it back to Australia for some riding.
That drone is awesome mate. The tracking is crazy
Yup, you are right... it's great... It was so lovely to see how it worked "in the wild".
@@brentbat is that the 2? Did you buy it locally?
@@ThrottleDownunder Yes, it is the Skydio2. No, I bought it in the USA. I don't think they are shipping international yet.... Hopefully soon.
@@brentbat awesome I'll keep my eye out. Would love it for my channel too
Wow amazing footage indeed, the views from that lookout are superb. Can't believe how well the skydio follows you through some of those scenes, pretty special drone
Stunning video work, really appreciate the tips and tricks you've provided on your channel. Great content.
Greetings from Jackman, Maine, USA. I discovered your channel while researching drones (subscribed) in which I just ordered a Skydio 2. My wife and I don't have adventure bikes yet, but we ride dirt bikes, snowmobiles, ATVs and do a lot of kayaking. It's kind of ironic that you're from Australia, our retirement present to ourselves will be a 30-45 day tour of Australia. Awesome and beautiful country you have!
Hey Fred, Greetings from Down Under. I used to live outside Boston and travelled quite a bit through Maine... Lovely state. Well when you start planning your 30-45 day tour of Australia, let me know if you need any advice or help. I'm heading out on Saturday for an 8 day trip to the Victorian High Country which is going to be amazing. Take care.
another great vid, short & spectacular!!
Man, Brent. Have been watching all your videos now. Just great. You certainly deserve a lot more subscribers. I am sure that will happen with time.
The thing I enjoy most is the down to earth attitude (quite literally, when it comes to the bike 😉), both in your narrating style as well as in the way you seem to go about your rides. Having the bike down is just taken in stride and while other Tubers would make that THE big topic of their clip, you just pick up the bike and continue. That is how it should be, ´cause that is what happens when you do ADV riding. Many of us still get a big dent in their confidence (or perhaps just their egos?) when we find ourselves on the ground. (I know!) You "normalize" this so much that already I feel better about my past slips - as well as those that will come.
Perhaps I am wrong, but to me this also seems to be part of the relaxed Aussie attitude I so much appreciated when travelling your country. - I love it!
On a sidenote - probably the best lunch spot I have ever seen in a clip! Awesome!
Safe riding, mate!
LOL.... You crack me up.... I think that is the first time somebody has said they like my channel because of how frequently I crash and that I don't make a big deal out of it.
:-)
I totally understand what you are saying. Yes, I do love pushing the envelope when I ride, and I don't mind if I am dropping the bike at low speed because I'm trying some tricky terrain or pushing the bike (and me) to our limits. That is part of the attraction of adv riding... the hurdles and how you get over them. I agree that some people over dramatise this... it's just part of our our sport. I make sure I have good protection on my bikes, and I don't set out to drop teh bike, but at the same time it doesn't bother me if I'm laying the bike down at low speeds because I rarely suffer any damage (either bike or me).
Yeah, that lunch spot in the Blue Mountains is incredible, I'm going to head back there when we get out of lockdown and do a high resolution panorama so that I can print that image and hang it on my wall... it's a pretty special place.
Take care
BP
Impressive views and an impressive chase by the Skydio.
Thx Ralf. Yes, I was impressed by the image quality and motion tracking.
Outstanding scenery and drone work, I just received my Skydio a few weeks ago and am looking forward to getting out on the trails and into the high country this Summer.
Mate that video was amazing to watch great edit 😎👍
Nicely done Brent. 👍
You can nearly see Newnes from there. I camped at the bottom where the dirt road ends. Also, that face is very popular for abseilers. The first time I was there was at the Newnes xmas rally in 1981-82 when the pub was still a pub and I love the place
Hey Frank, we were looking down on that dirt road.... is that where the Wolgan Valley campsite is? We weren't sure. It is sure a pretty part of the world.
@@brentbat no, Wolgan valley is way before that, this is the second Newnes camp site, I love the place and swing into there every time I'm down that way. There's lots of exploring you can do it's just a bit awkward to get to as it only has one way in and out and that's from Wallerawang at the United Servo, the camp site is right at the end of the road.
wow!! you wouldnt have a gpx to that location on the edge overlooking it all!?!?!?!
Loved the video!
Hey Leon
Shoot me an email at brentbat@gmail.com and I’ll send it to you.
Nice job, that is an impressive drone, solves a lot issues I have with my DJI.
Great footage...also, that drone has amazing collision-avoidance compared to most it seems. Here in the UK, I'm not convinced that with the flight restrictions here and in many European Countries, plus carrying a large box on tour, is worth the paperwork, cost and grief. However, your country offers so many massive filming opportunities and I enjoy your quality vids Brent 👍
Yeah, I hear you. You can fit the skydio in a backpack (it comes with a much more portable case), but I don't mind the pelican case on my bike, it's fast access to the drone. As for paperwork etc.... Yuck... I definitely hear you there. We do have some incredible remote country which is. conjusive to drone videography here. I'm going to the Vic High Country which would have to be a Mecca for 4WD and offroad bikes... so I am excited to see what sort of footage I get there.
This is so impressive. I thought the Skydio was going to be vaporware. Flying near trees and a powerline is BRAVE, but it seems to handle it well. Next time I destroy my Mavic Air I'll be checking out this one for our motorbike channel.
Hey Harry, you might want to check out the test I did on the Skydio a few weeks back. I put it through some pretty demanding treatment on the road.
Which trail is this? Damn awesome view at the end. Would love to do it on my WR250R.
I'm not sure how familiar you are with Newnes Plateu, but if you know Sunnyside Ridge trail, that has an epic cliff view like this at the end, and just branching off this trail is "Firetrail Number 6". That is the one that you see in this video. If you need more info or gpx file, just email me at brentbat@gmail.com
Fear of getting lost, I feel that strongly by watching this video. Not that its awe inspiring, and the fact that we have GPS these days. But so deep, so isolated form any form of help, is that not confronting?
Hey Salesberg, No, I don't find the remoteness confronting, to me it is all part of the adventure. Yes, sometimes the trails we ride may be hundreds of km from civilisation, or fuel etc. But we are well prepared, we have GPS navigation (usually 2 separate devices with cached maps), we have first aid, we take food and water, and finally we ride with satellite communication and SOS capabilities. So if something really goes wrong, we can hit an emergency SOS and know that help will come, but we can also send and receive text messages from anywhere in teh world, and that is hugely reassuring.
Superb! How well does it avoid those powerlines?
Regards, expat in Taiwan.
Regarding powerlines, I deliberately kept the Skydio a bit away from them by controlling the position with the beacon. I didn't want to push my luck too much.
@@brentbat Thanx so much for the reply. I'm definitely in the market for a Skydio 2, but Tech support at Skydio haven't replied to me about telephone lines & wires issues. Here in Taiwan we have multiple lines zig zapping overhead mountain roads., Guess I need to set a much higher above canopy view.
@@CyberEditing For wires, if you tap the "-" range button a couple of times, it will bring the drone down low and you should be able to easily skirt under wires.... or conversely you can tap teh "+" a couple of times and it will shoot up high.
@@brentbat 👍😎👍
Hey Brent, would love to know where you purchased the Skydio 2. I was under the impression that we couldn’t buy them in Australia. Could you please let me know where to head.
Cheers
Darren
I purchased mine in the USA Darren.
0:35 Did you forget to latch the lid on the Skydio box? great video.
OK Mark... you are one detail-oriented dude. Yes, you are right... I was so excited when I headed off that I forgot to latch my pelican case shut... the gimball lock bounced out (which I found later). But I need to develop a little mental checklist when launching and landing the drone.
Beautiful but, didn't see the 3 sisters...
Ha! The Three sisters are beautiful, but I don't think the bush walkers would enjoy a bunch of motorcycles riding around them and disturbing their peace :-)
Nice …
What a beautiful view to had lunch! is this trail suit solo rider?
Hi Ken, this is not a particularly technical track, in fact I just went there today and took a novice who had never ridden on dirt before. However, it is remote, and if something did happen, you would want to make sure you had an epirb or inreach to get help, because you could be there days without anybody getting to you.
@@brentbat Noted with many Thanks! yeah I'm new to adventure as well, I'm the only 1 that came into adventure bike among my bike mate, looking for entry level trail and also to setup my bike. Look like I had miss out a wonderful trip.... haha
@@racingkid89 Hey Ken, if you are new to adventure riding, then I definitely would NOT recommend Firetrail # 6. But Gloworm Tunnel Road is definitely one I would recommend. Nice easy dirt road, great tunnel, beautiful scenery. If you haven't joined Sydney Adventure Riders Group on Facebook I would do that, there are plenty of people organising rides you can join in. Be very careful about riding solo. My mate is an experienced adventure rider, but 2 weeks ago he was riding with a group, his 1250GS hit a rut and he came off (which is no big deal), but he rolled down an 8-foot embankment and the GS rolled down and landed on top of him. He was pinned down under it for 45 min and he couldn't even move his arms to trigger his EPIRB. Luckily he had comms range to one of the other riders and he managed to direct him back. So be very very cautious about riding solo until you are well set up and know what you are doing. Just my 2c worth :-)
@@brentbat yeah! Just join couple days ago. Will work out glowworm tunnel. And Really Appreciate on your advice! Many many thanks!
How did you attach the case to the rack? I'm trying to figure out something that will be secure and easily removable at night.
Hey Steve, shoot me your email and I'll send you some photos (brentbat@gmail.com). To cut a long story short, I used the Mosko Moto panier wedge system and mounted a wedge onto my rear rack. So when the case isn't on, it looks good and is functional. But I can just slide the case in from the front and lock it in place in about 20sec.
Do you use a handlebar mount for the Beacon? If yes, source?
Yes I do, but when I have my tank bag on, I have strapped it to the Molle webbing on my tank bag. Here it is

Hoping to get my S2 today.
Have you worked out a way to charge batteries on the go?
Hey Rakesh
Yes, I have worked out a way of doing this. You need to get a special high-wattage charger like this one and use the special cable that came with the Skydio. I recharged a depleted battery in 63min of riding with this.

@@brentbat That’s very helpful. Thanks much!
How did you order the skydio 2 into Australia as on their site doesn’t post to Australia yet?
I spend a fair bit of time in the USA and bought it over there.
Love your videos
I dont mean to sound rude but when you name the places you go can you kindly be more clear or perhaps alittle louder over the mic as iv had to replay on a few videos as you are quiet. Many thanks love the places you go ✌🏽
Hey RoadRunner
Thanks for your feedback, I might start putting titles up of the tracks or routes or destinations I go. For some of. the bigger trips I upload my GPX files so people can download the exact route. But I'll see if I can make it clearer. I'm heading out on Friday for a great 3-day ride around Ben Bullen, Turon, Sofala etc. So I'm going to shoot some video and make a posting. So excited we can travel again in Regional NSW.
@@brentbat thats amazing Brent looking forward to it!
And as far as the routes and location that would be fantastic. Thank you so much for your kind response!
The view from two wheels is unexplainable
Safe Travels Brent ✌🏽
Fantastic video, music not so much
Hi Brent do you have the .gpx to ride that track? Cheers
Drop me an email at brenbat@gmail.com and I'll send you a gpx that goes most of that track. They have shut off the track to the cliff we went to, but I can give you a track to another amazing lookout that you can get to in that area.
@@brentbat hi Brent I texted you but I don't know if you got the message. Cheers
@@shannonzapata6459 Use my email address above, I'm overseas at the moment.
I thought the Skydio wasn’t licensed to fly here in Aus ?
I keep hearing comments like this, but I've been all over CASA's site and I can't see any list of "authorised or certified" drones anywhere. If you know of any, please point me in that direction. I'm sure that once Skydio catches up with their domestic backorders, they will start looking at international markets. They just raised $180M in a cap raise, so they are poised for growth.
@@brentbat I think I saw that on Skydio’s own website that they’re not certified for use outside of the US and Canada and hence the reason why they don’t sell overseas.(Listed under FAQ)
But if CASA doesn’t care, then no worries. :)
I can’t wait to get one.
Also thank you for the go pro series, they were super helpful .
@@MotoRic Hey Ric, glad you liked the GoPro series. Thanks for the clarification. I've read the CASA rules closely (and I abide by them), but if there is an "official list of drones" then it's a pretty well kept secret :-)
@@brentbat , So how can I get my hands on one of these here in NZ?where did you purchase your one? Great Videos Im really enjoying
@@brenta4ngy I bought my Skydio directly from them and had it delivered to my address in Texas (I split my time between the US and Australia). I'm sure they will ship overseas at some point, but until then I think your only option is to find somebody in the US that can forward to you.
I was just losing hope for the Skydio 2 after seeing so many bad review videos and people returning them until I saw this and your last Skydio 2 vid. Seems like you do the hand launch and they don't. Could this be the major factor that they are missing and why they have so much trouble with their Skydio???? Hmmmm...
Not sure, but I definitely had weird results if I ground launched and didn't manually lock on. I now always hand-launch so that it auto-locks on me.
