Skydio 2 Autonomous Sports Drone: Holy cow!

37 Comments

1. Hey folks – thanks for watching! Also, check out my full written review here: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2019/12/skydio-autonomous-sports.html with plenty more details that didn't fit in this video.

2. I know u can not buy this dron in europe now. But it will fly here without problem?

3. That developer deserves cake. A lot of cake.

4. So this is a very good drone while watching in the forest. It avoids obstacles well. I wouldn't believe Mavic 2 Zoom in this forest.

5. So funny to see you guys driving close to my home, along the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal and crossing that new bike-bridge. Must have been to see this kind of bike infrastructure for those from abroad. Looks like real good testing ground for the drone/

   Just need to find out if it can fly patterns of aereas so I can use photoscan to create 3D mappings.

6. Why did it start climbing away from you into the branch's and crash? It looked out of control..

7. The challenge is the licenses required in some countries, until these drones get below the 250g requirements with 4K 120 fps, along with the tracking that this drone has it will be a very limited market for now. Its not practical for the average youtube producer to buy these yet.

8. Nice review. YouTube clickbait brought me here, but I'm glad it did! Your video is well laid-out, not boring, and answered all my questions about Skydio 2. I ordered mine in October, and have gotten one (1) email from Skydio saying that they are starting to ship (not mine, but someones!) It would be nice if they had a status page on where I was in the Queue, or even an email saying that mine was shipping in January or whenever. Not knowing is the worst!

9. Can you attached the beacon to the mavic and fly the mavic and have the R2 follow ? I want to see what happens

10. The 20x speed looks like some funny video game. Like your content btw. I was already putting together a budget for the Mavic 2 Pro or 3 Pro if that came out soon enough but I'm honestly sold on Skydio 2. Definitely getting one for myself.

11. I usually prefer reading your reviews but this was quite informative I must say. Would love to see how it handles skiing with white obstacles (snow covered trees) on a white background. Guess not much chance to test that where you live. I mean, there are plenty of trees but kind of lack of snow and, surely, mountains.

12. Great review! I'm waiting for mine in January.

13. Great Vid!!??

    Couple quick questions:

    Video quality – The “mechanical performance” of the drone is Absolutely Amazing! However, I am noticing some “soft” sections/artifacts in all of the footage I see from pretty much every source on YouTube. It reminds me of footage from an original Mavic Pro with the settings set for internal noise reduction, where the footage would lose detail and become “mushy” in places. Are these sections of “softness” and other NR/compression related looking artifacts present in the original raw files or is what I’m seeing just a result of YouTube’s “not so great” compression?

    Is there any way you could post some downloadable raw/unedited/straight out of camera files/clips for people to check out?

    I have a drone on order (Jan 2020 delivery) but would really like to see some uncompressed footage out of camera before making my final payment. If the video quality is just a little better than what I’m seeing online then this really is the perfect setup for my needs??‍♂️Thanks for the help!

14. Damn I want it now

15. good vid, informative

16. Great challenge review. Can you lament more on the video quality. For some reason all reviews are on everything but that. In several places when the drone is avoiding things, the footage seems to blur. Can you expand on the 4K 60fps aspect. I want to use this to shoot real estate, so I need high quality, sharp smooth footage and the ability to do smooth fly through, avoiding hitting things.

17. Impressive!!

18. Cleaverest thing I've seen for a long time, very impressed. What it needs to do though is record the GPS path you take, so if it gets stuck, it can then simply retrace your route to find you rather than just trying to take a direct route.

19. at 1:52 that thing flew right into those trees lol

20. Solid review, thanks. When the LAPD develops this technology, no one will escape.

21. Awesome review!

22. In 10 years when these are chasing us life or death, I choose the right path to Thin Twig Forrest ??

23. Wow! This dorone tracks you automatically with dodging trees?! It must be fun for shooting a ride wherever we go!

24. The most honest review of it that I have seen, thank you. Still on the fence over this one or the Mavic Air as an upgrade to my Spark.

25. Now this guy knows how to review a product!
    Strong work ??

26. Wow, that was impressive.

27. Where is this park ?

28. Awesome! Great reviews. Can’t wait to have mine next year. Thank you sir for sharing.

29. Very good and honest test !!! Thank you…

30. That thing’s amazing!?

31. set playback speed to .25 at 5:16, thank me later

32. Prepaid on mine just waiting now

33. It needs a laser to cut a hole through the branches. Not a flame thrower, cos that would just be irresponsible.

34. Cool video. Showing what this drone can do! Very impressive. Thanks for the time you took to create it and thanks for showing. Sub'd:)

36. now THAT is an autono drone! ?????

37. Dude, what an amazing machine. I can really see why this will be great for first responders. Great! Not a drone for the masses I think though. But what an achievement!
