Step 5 - Remove the Gimbal Clip from the front-facing camera.

When fully charged the lights on the battery will remain solid for one minute then turn off.

While charging, your drone should be in an open area as it is normal for the chassis to become warm to the touch.

The lights pulse while the battery is charging.

Tap the button on the front of the battery to display the current state of charge.

Step 4 - The lights on the Skydio 2/2+ battery will indicate the current state of charge. Step 3 - Attach the Skydio 2/2+ battery to your drone and charge the battery using the included USB-C cable and Power Adaptor.

ensure that any previous data is safely removed.

requires a UHS Speed Class 3 (U3) or faster microSD card to record 4k video.

Step 2 - Insert a microSD card into the Skydio 2/2+ SD card slot to capture your footage. Step 1 - Read the Skydio Safety and Operating Guide before your first flight for detailed safety and regulatory information. This could make it easier for any drone pilot, even without any prior flight experience, to showcase a property for a realtor from an aerial perspective with minimal risk.Getting started with your Skydio 2/2+ requires some reading, instruction, and setup.Ĭheck out the Getting Started tutorial video (and our complete Skydio Flight School series) to learn more about how easy it is to fly Skydio 2/2+: Here is an example of Skydio's Keyframe feature in action. Keyframe is available on both the Skydio 2 and 2+ models. The drone can fly either forward or backward at a pre-selected speed. Simply fly the drone to the desired location, rotate the drone and tilt the camera for the desired shot, tap the screen to designate the way point, and repeat these steps until the desired path is set.

The company has decided to improve its follow-me mode with the introduction of Keyframe, which allows you to set pre-determined flight paths using keyframes, with the ability to adjust speed, direction and more in-between those points. Skydio 2+ still features the same lightweight frame, omnidirectional obstacle avoidance capabilities and camera with a Sony IMX577 1/2.3”, 12.3MP CMOS sensor. Skydio's Keyframe feature, coupled with its 360º obstacle avoidance, makes it easy for anyone to capture professional-grade footage. This is a 3-minute improvement from the 24 minutes the original model offers. The difference is a 20% increase in flight time - up to 27 minutes in ideal conditions. The Skydio 2+ has a new battery, but uses same design as the original model, making them interchangeable. Skydio claims you'll now be able to fly up to 3 kilometers (1.86 miles) away with a new Skydio 2+ Beacon controller - twice as far as with the original Beacon - and get 6 kilometers of range with its optional twin-stick remote (3.72 miles), compared to 3.5 kilometers with the regular Skydio 2.

The Skydio 2+ is equipped with two pop-up antennas, found on the top-front arms of the aircraft, and a 5GHz Wi-Fi radio for connectivity at longer distances. The latter is aimed at cinematographers and creatives. Skydio 2+, released a little over 2 years after its predecessor, offers up improved flight range, longer flight time, a Skydio Care program, and a new Keyframe mode. Today at CES 2022, Skydio, a California-based drone manufacturer, announced a new, enhanced version of its autonomous and obstacle-avoiding Skydio 2 model.
