Description

Skydio 2 is an incredibly smart, follow-me drone. Equipped with six, 200-degree color cameras, Skydio 2 can see everything in every direction so it theoretically never crashes.
Unlike other follow-me drones that rely on following a device attached to you, the Skydio uses its cameras to lock onto you. But not only does the camera watch you. It’s watching everything around it, ensuring it doesn’t hit those things and calculating how to navigate around those things in the event it otherwise would hit you.

How do you fly the Skydio 2?

Most people will likely fly this drone with just the phone (their app is compatible with iOS and Android). All the features that provide cinematic flight paths like Orbit, Dronie and Cable Cam can be done 100% through the phone app.

You can also use the app to control the drone just like you would with any other controller with sticks. That said, flying manually like that is actually very clunky (and I generally don’t recommend flying that way). The controls aren’t very responsive and they’re slow.

What you should use the app for is to tell the drone to fly itself. Skydio can carry out autonomous flight paths.
