This gives an idea of the cost that each Skydio2 kit will be in the UK. The price is unconfirmed but as a conversion of the USD price. The Skydio 2 drone is yet to release in the UK market and is currently unavailable for pre-order. The Skydio Enterprise Kit is the most expensive version of the Skydio 2 drone that offers additional features for businesses. The Skydio 2 Pro-Kit is the 2nd most expensive of the three kits that are available for the Skydio 2 drone. It includes a Skydio 2 drone, a custom fit hard-shell case, a dual charger, and a 128GB microSD card. The Skydio Cinema Kit is perfect for capturing stunning aerial footage. It includes a set of extra propellers, a USB-C wall adapter, a USB-C charging/data cable, and a microfiber cloth. The Skydio Sports Kit is an optional extra that can be purchased for the Skydio 2 drone. It includes a carrying case, a battery charger, and extra batteries. The Skydio 2 starter kit is a set of accessories that is designed to help you get the most out of your Skydio 2 drone. It includes the drone itself and a charging cable. That’s not uncommon with drones that rely on Wi-Fi, but I’d expect better from a dedicated controller.The Skydio 2 Basic package is the most affordable option for purchasing this new drone. Even when connectivity was strong, the video feed felt like it was about half a second behind the drone. Regardless of which controller I used, it always felt like I started losing signal at about 400 feet and I think I’m being generous with that estimate. Lastly, video transmission connectivity seems to be worse than other drones. But it’s definitely less frustrating than crashing your drone. Will it go under an obstacle, above, or around it? Or will it come to a complete stop? There’s no way to tell and that unpredictability could be frustrating.
There’s no way to turn off obstacle avoidance, meaning it might start making choices you don’t always agree with.
#SKYDIO 2 DRONE CASE UPDATE#
Hopefully that’s something Skydio will address in a software update rather than waiting on a new product.Īnother choice: how this drone flies. Sure, you can do that manually, but I wanted more from my flying robot. For instance, you can’t take bracketed photos in case you want to do exposure blending on your own, and there are no fun photo modes like 360 spherical photos, 180 panoramas, or vertical shots. But still, the photo mode feels a bit unfinished and underwhelming.
When it comes to photos, Skydio takes 12MP photos in both RAW and JPG, which is a bit low on paper, but the photos I got out of it were acceptable - minimal chromatic aberration, sharp edges, and good overall detail.
#SKYDIO 2 DRONE CASE 1080P#
Still, you’ll be happy with some other options like 120 fps slow motion at 1080p and HDR filming which - and I don’t say this too often - actually looks good despite oversaturated reds and greens. Once you start raising the ISO, you will naturally invite more noise, but you’ll also notice how the footage starts losing that contrast and color. That said, the footage you get out of that standard color profile is solid - colors pop, white balance is on point, dynamic range is decent and it’s as sharp as you need it to be, as long as you keep shooting with a very low ISO. (Note to self: stop being snobby about color.) That’s going to be totally fine for the majority of users, but not for me personally and my line of work. There’s nothing like a flat, cine-like mode to open up more flexibility to manipulate colors and exposure in post-processing. One such choice is that the Skydio 2 only films in one color mode. I don’t mean that the image quality is bad it’s more that this drone operates more like a flying robot than a flying camera. Skydio made some clear choices here, and I’ll tell you right now that the Skydio 2 is not for professionals.
