Introducing Skydio 2+

Available to operate with the Skydio Enterprise app, Skydio 2+ offers autonomous flight with 360-degree obstacle avoidance, extended range, a more robust wireless connection, increased flight time, and the all-new KeyFrame cinematic skill. Skydio 2+ includes a new high-power 5 GHz WiFi radio and two collapsible omnidirectional antennas for an extended range. New Skydio 2+ accessories included in the Skydio 2+ Enterprise Kit include:

• Skydio 2+ Battery
• Skydio 2+ Beacon
• Skydio Care for Enterprise

Introducing Skydio Care

Skydio Care is a new protection plan that provides comprehensive coverage and rapid replacement for accidental damages from collisions, water damage, and unrecoverable landings. Skydio Care supplements Skydio 2+ Limited Warranty, allowing you to fly with greater peace of mind. Learn more about Skydio Care.

Skydio Care is only valid when purchased within 30 days of your original Skydio 2+ purchase on shop.skydio.com.

KeyFrame Skill

KeyFrame is a new autonomous skill that offers even inexperienced pilots the ability to choreograph professional cinematic aerial shots by capturing continuous, complex video with smooth camera motion. KeyFrame flights can be flown repeatedly, with varying degrees of complexity, subtle camera moves, speed adjustments, and obstacle avoidance. Set up your sequence by adding up to 100 keyframes in a 3D space. Adjust the camera framing at each keyFrame to create dynamic, multi-point flight paths. You can reverse, speed up, slow down or repeat your custom flight path and watch as Skydio 2/2+ smoothly and autonomously flies from point to point.

Skydio Enterprise Controller

Your Skydio Enterprise Controller can now be used to control Skydio 2 and Skydio 2+.

Enhancements

Disable Return when Disconnected

You now have the option to toggle off the Return when Disconnected setting and the corresponding Lost Connection settings below it. When toggled off, Skydio 2/2+ will not return if it loses connection—it will hover until it reaches low battery and land

Improved video feed at long ranges

Video throughput has been improved when flying at long ranges, resulting in smoother, clearer video streaming.

Radio channel selection

You now have the ability to manually select your radio frequency channel to avoid congestion from other signals.

Dronie trajectory

Skydio 2/2+ will now fly out and away from a subject along a trajectory line defined by the camera gimbal angle. Distance and Height Limits now act as boundaries within which the drone will fly while performing a Dronie. The boundary of the Dronie is defined when the drone reaches the height limit or the distance limit, whichever is first.

Fixes

Zoom support for photos

Your photos will now be saved at the zoom level at which they were captured.

Skydio Autonomy

New (Core features for enterprise)

Indoor Height Ceiling

When flying indoors without GPS, Skydio will prevent you from flying above 66 feet (20 meters). With this update, we’ve added the option to disable this Indoor Height Ceiling. If you choose to disable your indoor height ceiling, make sure your drone stays within 66 ft of surfaces to ensure robust visual navigation.

By default the Indoor Height Ceiling is enabled; disabling the Indoor Height Ceiling setting does not persist across flights or power cycles.

Memory Card Overwrite

Skydio has made it easier for you to manage your media storage space by automatically deleting old media to ensure that you can always start a new flight without waiting. Toggle this setting on to automatically delete the oldest media stored on the SD memory card. This setting will persist across flights and power cycles.

View Last Flights

The View Last Flights feature is designed to assist you with locating your drone in the event of a crash, emergency landing, or low battery landing in an unintended location. Review video of the 10 most recent flights even if your phone or controller is not connected to your drone.

Map Coordinates

When viewing your maps, creating waypoint missions, or orbiting a point of interest, you now have the option to view latitude and longitude coordinates. The position of Skydio 2, the Controller, Home Point, and Fly Here Now will display coordinates on the map in real-time. Disable this setting if you do not want coordinates displayed. Your selection will persist across flights and power cycles.

Find Drone

• If the Map Coordinate setting is enabled, the coordinates of the current or last known location are displayed, making it easier for you to locate your lost drone.

Anti-flicker

You now have the ability to adjust anti-flicker settings if you experience flickering in your video. This setting is for users located outside of North America, in countries where the frequency of the alternating current in household electrical outlets is 50 Hz.

• 60 Hz (default) - North America
• 50 Hz - Australia and New Zealand

Lost Connection Return Behaviors

Choose how your want your drone to behave if the signal to your controlling device is lost:

• Wait Before Return - Specify the amount of time that you want Skydio 2 to wait before it initiates a return flight, allowing time to reconnect.
• Land Once Returned - ****When enabled, Skydio 2 will return, hover for a specified amount of time, and then land.
• Wait Before Land - Specify the amount of time between 0 to 300 seconds (the default is ****240 seconds) that you want Skydio 2 to wait before landing. This setting is only enabled when Land Once Return is toggled on.

Enable Narrow Band

Enable Narrow Band to provide an additional wireless range

• extends controller range in open environments
• when enabled, the drone will switch to narrow band whenever applicable
• the video quality may suffer slightly

NOTE: This setting is only available while connected to the controller or Beacon

Enhancements (Core features for enterprise)

Lights

Toggle the RGB navigation lights off and they will now stay off from the moment you power on your Skydio 2 and throughout your flight. The setting will persist through flights and power cycles.

NOTE: Battery lights will stay on until flight, at which point they will turn off.

Fixes (Core features for enterprise)

• Improved zoom tracking for better case landings
• Media will display immediately after landing
• Return to Home joystick issues solved

Skydio 3D Scan (Requires license purchase)

Skydio 3D Scan™, adaptive scanning software available for purchase to use with the Skydio 2 Enterprise app, is now available on Android 9.0 or higher. 2D GPS Capture, a new 3D Scan capture mode, offers you the ability to preplan your flight using a top-down map view.
