Boosting the Skydio 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- Back at the flooded watermill to explore the surroundings as well as the Skydio features.
Discovering the UI regarding the overexposure.
Returning home in the middle of some trees.
Testing the boost option.
I've always enjoyed your videos, and this is no exception. Keep up the good work!😃 Looking forward to your next adventure.
Amazing flight... pretty happy for you .congrats Man!
Peter, thanks for sharing your experiences. You are a very accomplished UAS pilot. The experimental videos are your best. Keep up the good work.
I'm amazed every time I watch an S2 video!
Great to see you enjoying drones again. I love your calm analytical methods and your infectious laugh. I look forward to your content. Looks like DJI at last have great competition.
Good too see you back...
Great to hear your enthusiasm and to see that you have your drone mojo back Peter. At least flying on your own you will not be having any issues with social distancing.
Peter, I am so glad you are back. I missed your videos. I am trying to buy the Skydio2 right now. I love my phantom 4 pro, but those passes through the trees are absolutely insane.
Hello from Denmark, Great video, it was very nice Peter, looking forward to your next video
So good to have you and your drones back in UA-cam... we've been missing you
Okay so need a comparison on range between the Skydio, and the P4Pro. Great to see you again Peter.
Great video Peter keep them coming , I still have my phantom 4 taking good videos
Nice place to do Skydio videos. Lots of scenery and lots of deadly water for a DJI drone
About time you got your finger out and entertained us again. 😎
another great drone adventure from the skydio 2 Uncle Peter.
Good to see you back Peter!
Perfect, just had lunch, now will relax and watch this :)
Really impressive drone Peter, can you do a comparison with some DJI drones?
Very good tests
oh no... yours also has the drunken horizon. not the worst case of it but not a good sign that i am finding so many with it.
Incredible drone my friend!
So glad to have you back Peter, it's been a long time. The skydio is a awesome drone but you may be disappointed with the distance test.
Hey, it's good to see a new video
I love your video.Very good!
Great video! I know the frustration of starting the drone and screen recorder. When I had the Anafi I had to start the screen recorder first then the drone software or it would crash every time. The video loos amazing!!
Hi Peter: I've had my Skydio2 since February - gotten lots of flights in. When your phone said connection lost, did the light on the RC change color? If the light was still green, the RC was still in contact with the drone. It may be the connector on the bottom of your phone that is worn or loose. I've never had a disconnect from the RC unless I went out of range. It always regained contact on its own. I never had to turn anything off or on. Also remember that if you turn off the RC while the drone is flying, the drone will try to connect (via wifi) with your phone. You may want to do some distance checks (over an area with NO trees), comparing flying it with just your phone to flying with the RC and the phone. With the latest software/firmware update, the drone flies much more smoothly than before when you are flying with the RC. Cheers, and thanks for your videos! Oh, and what screen recorder are you using? I'll have to make sure and not use that one since it keeps exiting.
Great video
Peter increíble skidio 2 🤩
You really made me wanted to go out and fly with your video but I can can because of this quarantine ! 😭
I know you were joking, but just because you can make it fly a little faster, that doesn't make the flying experience more like a racing done! Totally different animals.
That gets the adrenaline pumping. I think Id be having a chat with the Skydio techs about this drone loosing connection at such a close distance.
Yup, advertised range 3.5km
Esperando pelo teste de alcance.
Waiting for the range test.
I am so envious - I must see if my friend in the US is coming to Ireland soon......
You got big ones. What is that big city behind you. Glad you are back.
wow ! nice peter
Time for a Skydio distance test! Fearless!
It will only go 1.5 km... But I will do a test indeed a couple of vids later.
nice video .That drone is very intelligent haha
Great video! i laughed with you
Looks great,like the footage, was wondering if you ever purchased the Mavic2pro, I can fly very smoothly through trees or obstacles very easily not like my phantom 4pro, I just like hearing you talk and fly take care
Thank you for sharing videos they’re all entertaining. I see you tracking through the trees and what not, fantastic, but do you have ability to go to the trees and have the camera pans and tilt left or right and up and down whilst going straight ahead manually , no tracking, all going in a straight line? And have the drone and a 45° angle flying sideways and such and still have control of the camera? Does that mean sense? Stay safe and healthy warm regards . Ps ie as the skydo 2 flys past you have it tilt and pan down to view you and then pan back straight ahead.
Great video Peter. Will it ever be possible to get a Skydio 2 shipped to the UK? I really want to get one.
They can hardly keep up with demand, so I think it will still take a while before they will do that.
Thanks for another great video. Question; can I use a controller but give someone else a beacon so it will track the bacon but I have controls with the phone and controller, yet the, bacon might get 500 feet away, the most important thing is will it work, Cardio track the bacon but you still control by the control? Thank you
Great video, I enjoy the calm and relaxed presentation! :) Was this before or after yesterday's update? to ver 6xxx app and FW? Make sure to disable phone WiFi when using the controller ;) also careful, it may not see wires and leafless branches less then 1/2"
Before the update.
Hi Peter, great video egain. Can you tell me which app you using for screen recorder? Greets uit omg . Arnhem
It's an amazing Drone and I should have mine in May? I am disappointed it is WiFi and has weak connection at short distances. I kinda made for up-close personal tracking drone or for flying in high density environments not too far away.
Goed bezig peter, Zal daar ook eens gaan vliegen ziet er mooi uit daar , alleen die power kabels!? P.s. Kun je bij de Skydio net als bij de DJI je home punt vliegend opnieuw in stellen? Zodat deze situatie (RTH in een boom) vermeden kan worden.
Niet dat ik weet. Maar ik weet zeker nog niet alles van die drone.
Welcome back, Peter! I wonder.. .why it didnt connect by it self ater comingo home? The drone was only few meters away on top of you. Thats odd.
That happens to DJI drones too sometimes.
👍🏻👍🏻
When will they be selling them to the UK market?? I would love one of these, seems like the best everyman drone yet, am I wrong?
From what I see the video isn’t the best and the range isn’t either the worse thing about it is it won’t fly at night
Great footage Peter. RTH set above trees? Rusty Peter?
Thanks Peter love your videos, What do you think about boosting the controller with aliantech booster Antenna
Don't know that antenna.
Hi Peter: did you try screen recording with your Shield Nvidia tablet? Since its screen recording app is on a separate ROM, it might work as it should not interfere with the Skydio 2 app for using power from the main phone CPU.
looks better that your other 3 cameras footage, they're all washed out. When the sun hits your skin you're as white as the clouds.
Need a range test.
Wonder what will happen if the drone is under an obstacle and it looses connection (lIke under a branch of a tree). Normally it will go up to a certain pre set height and rth.
Great video! What kind of range does it get?
1.5 km
Peter..just watched a video of a skydio 2 losing connection and setting down in a pond..careful lol can't remember who it was but you should try and find out..
And Skydio already sent him a replacement.
His name is Sean Cook
Heb je al overwogen om de beacon aan de phantom te bevestigen en 'm dan door de skydio te laten volgen?
Ha ha. Zeker :D. Maar dan zal hij alleen maar gps-tracking doen denk ik, want hij lockt niet op drones.
When you turn the drone on ..be sure to point the camera at an normal scene ..not a dark jacket
but I can't see the quality of the footage, looks like 780 jello to be honest. Have you tried viewing it on a 4k television, hard to enjoy. Though seems regular for someone in a video quickly say "can DJI do that?"
Then moments later, get stuck, have trouble gaining control, hit a branch, power line, bridge cable, ect. and crash. This drone is hardly for anyone. I'm scared of what this will cause for issues, the industry, and rules.
Should have to do a full test and sign a disclosure, and mandate insurance for this drone. Hardly anyone even has this drone within their line of sight, too many people flying them over traffic and people. I've seen way too many risks and crashes
Hey you are not confined ? In your country that is a pity
Het is nog steeds een drone met veel haken en ogen, ben niet echt onder de indruk van wat ik allemaal op UA-cam zie erover in follow mode
Check out Ken Heron's Skydio 2 crash into wires when it was following him on his motorcycle.
Yeah, Skydio clearly states not to fly around thin objects, such as lines, wires and cables lol. Pilot error.
@@BrianLambert Ya, Brain, they sure do say that but since it is mainly a flying action camera programmed to follow you those things are going to happen. I think it will miss almost everything at normal speed but when you get it going fast like in "sport" mode, it is not going to have enough time to react. Every time I think maybe I would like to buy one I see another video where the pilot has trouble.
but the most stupid is , skydio is never can ship product now...you need to wait a whole year for per-order , and paid for the full price and then continue to wait forever. you will think that is a Ponzi scheme.
