Wowzers! There were some scary shots in that. I think your video actually increased my confidence in my Skydio 2 drone, also. Great video and great production quality. You’re a pro, mate!!

I'm sold! This is mind-blowing. I'm a long time Mavic Pro pilot & flying mountain roads & big bikes in Taiwan is a nightmare.

Brent, excellent review and beautifully shot footage. I'm still getting up the nerve to push my Skydio 2 to the limits as you've done, but watching your video (especially the scary bits!) helps to reinforce confidence. Thanks!

This is exactly what I was looking for. I love it how it goes up to avoid the trees and dives back to catch up on you. Love it, man! Awesome 🤘

Awesome! Best footage of S2 in action I've seen so far! Share your video with Skydio page I'm sure they'll gonna like it 😊

great stuff- I went up to the mountains to shoot some bike footage a couple weeks ago and had to film numerous takes and warmups to get the shots we wanted- and now this AI pilot just makes it look easy.. brilliant tech!

Thanks Brent, a very useful test! I haven't considered a drone until they got to at least this level, now I know they can finally do the things I want!

Excellent footage. One of the best tracking tests I've seen so far! :--)

Mind blowing is the phrase. OMG! Loved your video! 👏👏👏

The Skydio is pretty amazing. I picked one up recently and love the footage it can grab. Good video!

This is a great drone!!!! You did get lucky with the small bare branches. Once leaves are on those branches it will not be a problem. Great review! Thanks for posting.

What a nice review. Great, just great !!!

This was the best review of the Skydio2 that I've seen. Thanks for having the guts to make a real life scenario review.

nice flights and very nice to hear your feedback about them

Nice work. This is by far the best review I’ve seen of the Skydio 2 for my particular use case (motorbikes). I recently got the invite to purchase and was on the fence, but you’ve helped me make the decision. Thanks. Planning to take it on a trip to Baja next month. ✊

This is an outstanding video and review!!!! Thank you!!!

Thanks for your time and great review 🇮🇪👍

That was some awesome footage! Some close calls at high speed.

Very impressed with this drones performance, handling and punishment. The GPS beacon is definitely the key to the drones success. Great video.

Thank you for this video! I ordered it right after watching your video!!

Great footage. Thanks for sharing.

This is a must have! Great shots!

Really stunning result

Awesome 👏🏾!!! Great 👍🏽 stuff!!! Loved @11.56min giving 2nd shot.

Great review. Very thorough. I was in touch with Skydio last year about one of these. Unfortunately they still aren't available for the UK due to licencing/red tape. I've always wanted a drone to take with me on days away on my bike, but none have ever been suitable for solo rides and the topography. The S2 is everything I've been (and still am) waiting for.

Awesome video! I have been using a Mavic Mini 2. Super compact and long life on batteries. Cheers from Oregon.

Just got my Skydio, can't wait to use it on the bike. Thanks for the video Brent.

OK.......so I just finished the highlight reel. I have to say that this drone has been on my radar for my trip From Tuk to Ushiaia. Now I am convinced that it is the right drone to take.! Thanx!

I found myself ducking as I was watching the last 2 minutes through the trees.

As an engineer, computer programmer and pilot, this is PFM - pure f'n magic.

Can’t wait to get mine! What’s an amazing amazing drone

Brent, I rate this as the second best Skydio 2 footage that I have seen. That is saying a lot since I don't think you sit around editing video all day! I hope Skydio watches this video carefully. You exemplify the strengths of Skydio not its weaknesses. Good editing and you are also well spoken. Skydio should entice you to do a promo for them... it would be genuine. Keep riding, keep flying, and whatever allows you to travel from down under to the lone star state, keep doing it (envy).

This put me on the tip of my chair. What an amazing drone!! 😱

Great review. This drone is definitely a contender. I will say the video quality is not as good as the Mavics, but the autonomous flying...WOW...Just WOW... I just replaced my Mavic Pro which was stolen on a recent trip to California, with a Mavic air 2 but have not had a chance to really test it on the road due to the pandemic. But now I might be regretting my purchase. If they could improve the video quality, this would be a clear winner. Cheers, Mike

Thanks for sharing, looks amazing. Hope it comes to Australia

Great video...I went over some other You Tube videos were people having issues with the tracking functionality of Skydio 2 and they weren't pleased. That being said, I 've already made up my mind and placed an order to get on the waiting list. Can't wait till I get my hands on it and try it out!

Great review! 👍 I'm looking to pick one of these up to record my trips with my KRX 1000 side by side. As good as the Skydio is now, you know they'll only continue to improve on the functionality and features and it will get better and better! 😊

Awsome video mate. Skydio2 Drone gets the thumbs up.

That footage is insane !!!

Pretty amazing obstacle avoidance

Very good bit of kit ,looks damn good

Great video, thank you. Best demo of the drone i've seen thusfar. I think the obstacle avoidance is really amazing but it's not there yet to a point where I could completely trust it to not crash. It came very close to crashing into ghost branches several times, I think you were pretty lucky. I prefer manual flying anyway but seeing how far autonomous flying has come already is mindblowing!

as a fpv-pilot, im blown away from some of the footage here. For an autonomous drone, this is crazy.

Perfect thank you just what I wanted to see !

I wish Skydio would still sell to consumers. This would’ve been the drone I bought. DJI has come a long ways with their active track and obstacle avoidance since this video was made. I have both a DJI Air 3 and Mavic 3 Pro. The Air 3 is my choice for following me on my dirt bike since it’s lighter and more nimble then the Mavic. I do wish they had the beacon like the Skydio has. If you go too fast through a wash or 90° turn it can loose you, but otherwise does a pretty good job keeping up and dodging trees and cactuses! Love your videos Brent.

Sold I am getting one! Thanks for sharing

Super cool drone!!

That thing is amazing! Wow.

Wow! just amazing. To think where this tech was a year ago and where it's going. Thanks Brent!

I was looking at getting one of these back in 2019, still not shipping to OZ just yet & even though i could get a mate to grey import one i think ill wait for the official release (warranty reasons) but great demo of its capabilities, these will sell like hotcakes to the Aussie ADV guys.

Wow that was cool, never thought getting a drone for motorcycle stuff but I've always wanted one just to play with but that was really cool watching that.......

Superb I just subscribed. I currently am flying a Yuneec Typhoon H 480 Which I still love to this day. But you have certainly showing us the best of the sky deal and what it can do. I can't wait for your next adventure. Keith Kuhn

Thanks for this, I'm out on trails, some single track, and I just haven't had time to take my SkyDio2 out, and I lacked the balls to think I could get it in to the gnarly stuff, but, thanks to your video, I will.

Great review vid

Love your channel! Amazing scenery. My dji mini is going to retire when i get my skydio 2 in a week

awesome video

Thats it I am buying one. Brilliant!

Thanks for sharing this.

Great video, thanks

I been trying to find a vid just like this for when i go bush on my africa twin and dirt bike! Ill be buying one for sure now thanks for the good vid and test

Holy crap! I know what I am getting on Monday :D Nice vid!

I’m definitely going to check this one out 👍

Beautiful & amazing shots sir! I've had mine a week now. Hope you won't be taken aback by my saying it's confidence building but also over the top though coz thin items at fast speed will inevitably someday crash it, not that I would wish it on you for sure sir, but there were LOTS of that risky stuff on this course, best to plan your routes accordingly ........ note their limited warranty! Best riding & flying sir!

thank you for all the info and too put it in a tuff place :)

Honestly this drone is amazing it works soo well

great work

This is the perfect drone ever👍🏻

its videos like this made me stop watching TV ! great work!

So good to hear an Australian voice in a good vlog! I've never heard of these drones either. I have a Mavic Air and we tried this with a scooter in the rice fields here in Thailand but not a success. What bike are you riding here Brent?

The Bob Ross of video drones. All your shots are “happy accidents” 😂

Fantastic my next drone i am a bike rider well done

Fantastic video. I recently competed my Part 107 certificate and have been thinking about adding another drone. I was really impressed with the performance of the drone. Even more, I really liked that you gave it a realistic test for those of us that travel. I wonder if it could track the beacon in the front of a van? FYI - I also subscribed.

Mate that's a great drone way better than dji drones hahaha fantastic I'll be looking at one of these drones. Great video mate

Really impressive! For me, the best drone on the market. Unfortunately, such drone actions are not allowed in Germany. By the way: wonderful bike and Location! Thanks for the video!

Incredible!!!!

Great adding

Amazing drone. Was wondering if you were flying the DJI for your Iceland trip. Now it seems clear to me that this is the one!❤

So you're testing the thing through low tunnels and you set it to not follow low. Genius! ;)

Good video bro

fantastic, i hope it arrives soon in europe

That’s so impressive, thanks for sharing and for the insight as no doubt going to save people £/€/$ in damage👍

Absolutely crazy how good it is at not flying into things!

really impressive

Subscribed. Welcome from ATX

fantastic

12:12 - That recovering and still continue to follow mode.. Jawdropping.

Very impressive. Right at the end (15.30) it actually looks like its amongst the branches and moving them around. I'm guessing it would be able to cope with overhead utility / power lines.

wow! this is the drone I have been looking for. I am a cyclist and shoot action drone shot with my DJI mavic air, but I was never able to shoot my action film my self, never it was possible. On top of that DJI mavic air intelligence battery drains battery life slowly over time, I had to throw out several batteries. On top of that its return home function didn't function properly, I ended up losing it yesterday in Saw grass swamp. I did some good video shots with it but I was never satisfied and it wasn't for action shooting at all. It was impossible to do it alone. I am not going to buy DJI mavic air again, so I have been looking for alternatives. This Skydio 2 seems to be the one that I need. Thanks so much for review! It's amazing Skydio 2 followed you on high speed and changed direction of filming while avoiding obstacles by itself. DJI mavic air was never able to do that.

Amazing.

Amazing drone. I love riding the hill country. Live in San antonio, let me know when you are out riding some day. I ride a GSA and would love to explore some new places

I am sold on Skydoi 2. Thanks!

Awesome!

My heart stopped bunch of times :)

I literally found your channel by accident a few days ago, and have to say I've been very impressed with your solo riding drone footage. It wasn't until I saw this video that all became clear AND having just bought my 2nd DJI drone (Mini 3Pro), I'm now wishing I'd put more thought into what I should have bought. I have two regrets 1. not waiting for the DJI Avata which looks like the dream drone for anyone who hasn't learnt the skills for FPV flying but really wants to, and 2. why didn't I listen to my wife who was determined to get me away from DJI after she saw the Skydio promotional video. I have yet to put my Mini 3 Pro to the test, it does have forward, backwards and downwards sensing, but the lack of sideward sensing makes me question if it can come close to the Slidio, also the flight speed of the Mini 3 Pro makes me wonder if it has got what it takes - putting it in sports mode kills active track and obstacle avoidance. Regarding the beacon, I believe with my old Mavik Pro (which didn't like underwater cinematography) you could use the hand controller as a beacon for follow-me shots, but I never tried it, I'm guessing that functionality is not an option with the Mini 3 Pro. It'll be some time before I can get another drone so maybe there will be more choices out there by then...!!! BTW, I love your productions, very engaging, and after watching some behind-the-scenes and instructional videos on your trip prep and your very structured approach to every aspect of trip planning, videography, and post edit you have inspired me to take more care and attention in doing the same. I made a mash-up of videos a year or so back, all of which are very rough around the edges, but I want to do more and you have helped me get back in my groove to focus on my channel and other social platforms. Looking forwards to many more videos from you Brent, and thank you again.

Hey Brent, great video! So glad to find a video about the Skydio 2 and ADV moto. Can you share your thoughts about the beacon, using the beacon with gloves, and how you managed to monitor the drone while riding? I just put a deposit down on one and looking forward to capturing my rides this summer!

Great channel with beautiful videos , Like + Full 👍👍👍

Amazing

Great video of the expensive drone but I guess you get what you pay for. And I really like the bike.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED YOUR VIDEO! Have you tried flying indoors?

Um, not sure how I got here but this is awesome!
