SKYDIO 2 - Differences between Beacon, Controller and your Phone

[@karthurjr]

Steve, you have a knack for telling us everything we need to know in the shortest period of time. Well done!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you!

[@karthurjr]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 our pleasure! One of the best if not the best!

[@AzTurboMini]

Agreed

[@dougbell5160]

Thanks for the review of all the different control options, I got my Skydio 2 last week and I just went ahead and got both the controller and beacon. I did this because I thought my chances of getting them now would be easier and more likely than if I tried to order just one or the other in a few weeks or months. Your video is definitely going to help a lot of people make a better choice if they are not sure what to do. Take care buddy

[@saiyan_princestudios9790]

The beacon with extreme sports is really where this thing shines.

[@productionplan6021]

As ever, very clear instruction and advice. Plus, you showed where the boost button is, which no one else has, that I can see. I got beacon and controller to cover all bases. All good so far.

[@Uriel_222]

After this video I decided to get the controller and the beacon so I have all three for any situation that arises. Thanks for the great instructional videos and reviews! You always make everything easier to understand and less stressful which ends up making my flying experience more enjoyable 👍

[@agasdoc]

Great video. Yours is the best succinct video comparison of all 3 methods to fly the Skydio 2. From what I’ve seen online, the controller paired with Skydio’s incredible obstacle avoidance allows some beautiful cinematic shots people wouldn’t dare attempt without the reassurance of that obstacle avoidance!

[@dh-flies]

I just got mine. Haven't flown it yet. I have all 3 options. And I think I will use all 3. The phone option looks good for a quickie flight close by. The beacon will be used for my off-roading (dual sport bike and UTV) And the controller to me is a must have for general videography. Can't go to MOAB without videoing the surroundings...This was very informative!! Great video!!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you! Enjoy!

Great video! I’ve owned my Skydio for 3 months and I just learned a lot from this! Thanks for sharing!

[@tb303wpf1]

Was looking forward to this video!! Thanks CAPTAIN!!!

[@iamgort70]

What's not to like? The use of all the options phone, controller, beacon covers just about every possible shot/transition/ situation you could find yourself in. Driving along a barren highway use the beacon to track yourself/vehicle, walking along the edge of a magnificent cliff or steep shoreline do you autorotation shots and composition with the phone....want to fly in close & climb up that distant waterfall?.. film with the controller..ect..I think it's bloody great!! Probably could be a bit more competitive price wise, but this things obstacle detection alone is worth the price of admission.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The SKYDIO 2+ is a very minor upgrade to the SKYDIO 2. Both have the same features in flight. Keep in mind the SKYDIO 2 was never designed to be a camera filming drone like a DJI drone. It is an ACTION FOLLOW ME drone so it was never designed to have a great flight range. The SKYDIO 2+ still has a terrible flight range hence the reason those owners with the SKYDIO 2 have not bothered to upgrade.

[@markarmstrong8410]

Hi Steve, amazing review thankyou...is there a better model of phone / brand that works best with this drone. Thankyou

[@musicimagination5177]

Personally, I think it's pretty cool what it can do. It seems to be on point all time. I don't think I will be purchasing one soon. I do like what it has to offer. The beacon reminds me a lot of the wizard for theTyhoon and Q500. I have one for my Typhoon H. It is an awesome addition. Very fun to experiment with. Thanks for review. Now I know what it can really do

Good stuff..charging my Skydio2 up right now! Will be doing maiden flight hopefully this evening (if no rain). Quick Question: Are you recording all your audio directly from your phone? I see when I'm seeing up the Skydio 2 APP, that audio can be enabled between the Skydio2 APP and your phone. I want to record audio while flying...thx!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The new waypoints (keyframes) might make the controller worth having to fly a bit easier than from the phone, but otherwise I think it adds very little for a pretty hefty cost.

[@AshiqeRasool1]

Nice video...how about a range test for skydio2 and RTH accuracy...

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Both of those are not pretty. Range beyond 1000 meters is hit and miss, and landing return to home accuracy is non-existent.

[@sonoferin54]

harder than you make it look lol..already getting nervous with this drone..used to DJI. A question..before you go into manual mode you said "press the up button" @4:41 where is this can you be more specific..is it the height button you are referring to ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Manual mode means you just take it out of tracking a subject (turn the tracking off).

[@armsby]

I wonder what the connection to Parrot is as they're using the Skycontroller 3 from the Anafi.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It was to cut costs for research & development of their own communication system.

I watched the video in full, before commenting, the skydio with remote is definitely my choice, my delivery is March/April,( confirmed) as it's been ordered through a work colleague who lives the USA.. I still think Mavic pro 2, is more complete. But we are all different.

Steve i have one question, when using the controller w/phone are the obstacle sensors active. Because @ 13:02 you stated that you didn't want to hit the bldg. so if the sensors are on and working this thing would or should never fly into something like that.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The sensors never turn off, which is the biggest problem with the drone. For newbies it is perfect but as soon as you learn to fly a drone, it becomes a hinderance.

[@Geeksrik]

I was on the dji forum ( classified ) someone wanted to even trade a mavic 2. For a platinum pro that is a odd request don't you think. ?

What about the range you can get with connecting becon to cell phone, than cell phone to Skydio?

I believe that reduces the range because no you have to receive a video signal and it can only be sent so far.

If you set the drone off just using your phone then put it say in a clear pocket in a tank bag on your bike, what would be the max speed it would follow at? Great review as usual, thanks.

It depends because with a phone the transmission is weak. You really need the beacon for fast follow.

[@Mozus-drones]

I have the Skydio 2, the beacon and the controller. My question: Can I give the beacon to a subject I want to track and use the controller with my app to manoeuvre the drone (set hight and distance from subject along with easy access to the "stop" button on the controller)? Or is it either the beacon OR the remote that I can use but not both at the same time?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Nope, one or the other. If you use the beacon that then controls the drone.

[@dr.dougdroneson4239]

Seems like the Beacon would be the best way to go

[@bertschoofs8494]

Nice video! Thank you. I still have another application for the Beacon: put the Beacon in a (not too fast) RC-plane of one of your RC-colleages and track the plane. I'll try to do so if i finally get my preordered Skydio in Europe.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It works, but since the camera just points in the general direction of the GPS Beacon signal, is hit and miss for capturing anything in the frame.

[@bertschoofs8494]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Tanks for the answer. What means general direction? Points the camera just to x-y-GPS coordinates, without using the altitude of the Beacon? Yes, I saw some posts were the tracked subject is often very low in the frame.

[@keytiger7]

did u record in auto mode, or manual, because on most of the skydio 2 videos including mines , seem to have blue hue, and red is also strong , in the white balance ion auto , on this drone. IN this video it looks right but in 98 percent of the other youtube videos the blue and red color are too stong, i wish we had a log profile, .

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I film in auto settings mode. I did have a FREEWELL POLARIZED FILTER on the lens to help with contrast/detail. The only problem I notice with the SKYDIO2 is that it consistently gets the Exposure wrong in all situations. I have noticed any blue/red as you noted.

Steve, did you try to use controller without data connection? How do you catch maps on it? Thanks

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You can fly pretty much any drone without cell phone data (hence why people use tablets), but things like MAPS will only show up if you have a GPS chip (full functioning). GPS chips suck power, so many phones shut them off & most tablets don't have them.

[@lifeisfuneh]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 i have it enabled (Galaxy Note8) but I presume it needs data connection to load the map it self or have it stored on the device. I did download local map in Google maps but the Skydio app still won't show it. :(

[@oraclemiata845]

Hi Cap, FYI, you can connect the phone and the beacon at the same time. That way you can see your footage and have more advanced controls.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Oracle Miata Yes, that was indicated in the video (watch when I am close to the structure with the Beacon). But why on earth would anyone do that. It defeats the purpose of using the beacon in one hand in an active role. You’d be better off just using the phone.

[@oraclemiata845]

Except your getting the stronger GPS signal from the beacon, and the visual aspect of the phone. You can find creative ways to go hands free.

[@frankmoralesiii6908]

1. Does Skydio have an auto return home feature? 2 Does Skydio know to stay away from no fly zones?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes to auto return and NO to "no fly zones"

[@EastTexasADV]

I know this is a old video. But I have a skidio2 and don't fly it much because I've lost it several times w the beacon and riding my motorcycle. I'm planning on getting the controller as the drone doesn't seem to like to connect to my android phone. Question when using the controller and cell phone, can you select something or someone else to track? Or I'd it limited to the controller/phone location like the beacon?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Using the controller is like an extension of your phone (same interface pretty much), so you can select what you wish.

[@AddyOverbeeke]

Nice explanation of the usage for the three control devices. I am in batch 3 2Q2020 so still have a wait. Your videos help me to better understand the Skydio 2 drone as compared to DJI drones I fly. I am on the fence if to keep my order or not because not sure yet what advantage Skydio would give me over a Mavic 2 Pro which has very smooth cinematic video capabilities. Most of the videos I see coming from Skydio 2 have quick jerky movements and almost constant movement of subject matter within the frame.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Addy Overbeeke Yes, it is kinda like a dog that follows you on a walk or adventure and every now and then sees a squirrel. If you fly high in the air with the controller you can get smooth cinematic video, but if you fly lower and close to objects, the drone will slow down and speed up and move from side to side which can ruin your cinematic shot.

[@AddyOverbeeke]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks Captain. I have lots of Squirrels where I live in the thick forest ...LOL But I totally get what you mean. Still not sure how I would use the Skydio 2 but for now will keep the order.

[@sabugdalantx]

Sorry one more question if you started the flight with the gps beacon and then you need to control the drone can you use the skydio app?

[@charlesspidell1447]

You said you could not aim the drone at a object with the beacon but at the end with the beacon you turned it around when you landed it

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You can take manual flight of the drone but not manual control of the camera, or recording or camera settings. You have to connect your phone to the BEACON to get full features, but that just defeats the purpose of the Beacon.

[@coryspencer9452]

Steve, where is the audio coming from? Is audio captured by the drone or beacon?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Neither. It comes from my mic.

[@DannyFyffe]

I've said since they announced this that the true cost is 1500 USD. I think to have it work best in all scenarios, you need the Skydio, the beacon, controller and 2 spare batteries. That brings you up to just under 1500. Nice to see the good and bad of all control methods. It seems like your experience with the controller is something around 1k? I think it is supposed to get 3.5k with the controller, right? Do you have anything you would compare the Skydio 2 against as comparable?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Danny Fyffe Nothing compares to the Skydio because it is a one purpose design drone which is obstacle avoidance following. It is not foldable, has a short flight time, short flight range and no ability to turn the sensors off, so it falls into its own category.

[@oraclemiata845]

This drone even with antenna mods will never get 3.5km. The problem lies in the antenna placement in the drone itself. Since it has no landing gear, the antenna are somewhere in the bird. I’ve only gotten about 2000 ft or so in a suburban environment. If you get 1000 meters, I imagine you’ll need to be happy.

[@DannyFyffe]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Interesting. You sound sort of disappointed with it. Would you say it is a pass for someone like me with the Evo 1, Anafi and Karma?

[@DannyFyffe]

@@oraclemiata845 So the antenna are obscured you think in the body so the controller does not receive solid signal in flight? I wonder if there is any data to prove that one way or the other? I would certainly like to know.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Danny Fyffe Oh no not disappointed at all. What it does it does very well, but it’s kind of a one trick pony with limitations. It is not a replacement for an EVO or MAVIC because it is not in the same category as those. It is more a ‘fly and forget’ type drone that allows you to do other tasks and not worry about the drone.

An amazing drone, but like yourself, I really don't do any active sports so it would have limited use in my household. I am curious to see how it handles wind. My MA isn't much good beyond 30mph winds. Is this better (bearing in mind you may have limited control depending on which controller you are using!)? Oh, and can it follow objects other than humans or cars (like RC cars for example)?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Ian P It moves around a lot more than the MAVIC when standing still so it would give the impression it is affected by wind. When moving in a direction it is a different story.. not affects by wind. Only follows people and cars.

It is actually quite good in wind, though not sure I want to fly any drone in winds over 30mph.

Good informative video review, I do have a question. My Wife and Kids ordered the Skydio for me for Xmas, but watching the video makes me wonder, can you point the camera Up? Say I want to fly up to a bridge and look up under the bridge, can I do so w the Skydio 2 camera ? Any input is greatly appreciated?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

No. You need the Parrot ANAFI for such filming. Also I would not fly the SKYDIO2 under a bridge because it controls the height itself and if it wants to go low it will crash in the water since it only uses visual sensors and not ultrasonic sensors on the bottom.

[@TreadTalk247]

CAPTAIN DRONE wait, You can’t fly the Skydio at any height you want w a controller?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@TreadTalk247 Yes, but the obstacle avoidance is always on so if it needs to go up or down or left/right to avoid something, it will.

[@johncappi1867]

Love your videos. You said at one point that it would have trouble following you if there were more people around you. Does that mean you can have it follow someone other than the user? Say for example a ball player?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

John Cappi Exactly. The drone will place a plus sign on every person it sees. You just tap on the person on the screen and the drone will follow in any method you wish. Great for filming your kids at a park or event. The only caution is to select the 8 foot height follow which will force the drone to follow at a height above 8 feet so that it does not crash into other people.
