The update also improves the drone’s locational accuracy while in Keyframe, significantly reducing drift in the Keyframe skill. Lets you manually control the gimbal roll with the right wheel or paddle. Lets you set the gimbal angle at keyframe points so that the gimbal roll smoothly transitions between these points. Simulate automatic dynamic shots by having the drone automatically roll the gimbal angle during flight. This enhanced gimbal control comes in three different styles:

With this update, you can now adjust the camera roll along its autonomous flight path while flying in Keyframe. The firmware update also brings two new upgrades to the Keyframe skill-the ability to adjust the keyframe roll and increased keyframe accuracy.Īn illustration of the Keyframe skill allowing the drone to follow a flight path based on key shots Adjusting Keyframe Roll Just one thing to note about these images-it’s important to allow the stitching to complete before you power off your drone. Spherical shots let you take a true 360° image, collecting data that can be viewed in a 3rd party interactive viewer (if you like) so that you can click around to explore the fully stitched 360° image. You can also use the Panorama skill to capture sweeping vertical shots, getting a lot more into an image to capture scenic promotional content or shots for social media.īut the last option that comes with Panorama-spherical, or 360° images-stands out as a fairly unique offering. These could be useful for work in real estate and construction, allowing a large area of land or construction project to be seen in one photo. Using the Panorama skill, you can take horizontal shots that let you capture large areas of interest in a single image.

The Panorama skill is almost exactly what it sounds like-it’s a new skill that lets you take horizontal, vertical, and spherical panoramic photos. With this firmware update, Skydio has now added a third flight skill-Panorama-along with providing new features for both the Keyframe and Scout skills. Scout lets users establish a tether between the drone and either its controller or a beacon, allowing it to follow a subject autonomously. The autonomous flight modes include settings like orbit, rocket or cable cam.The second flight skill Skydio released was Scout, which came out in September of last year. Pilots can choose between a number of Skydio Skills, which offer subject tracking, navigation and obstacle avoidance. This AI flight system promised to help users to capture cinematic drone footage with minimal effort. Like previous models, the Skydio 2+ uses onboard cameras to power its computer vision-aided intelligence system.

While you can fly the Skydio 2+ in manual mode, the major appeal of this drone is autonomous flight. This latest release targets both enterprise users and consumers. The focus for the Skydio 2+ is on AI-aided controls that make the drone easier to fly for new pilots. The 2+ adds many new features and updates that promise better usability and control. The new drone from Skydio builds on the success of the Skydio 2 and X2. This new self-flying drone has earned Videomaker’s award for Best Drone of CES 2022!
