Height Floor
• (Enabled by default) maintains at least 8 ft (2.4 m) of space above a
tracked subject while in any autonomous follow skill, creating a buer
between Skydio and any moving objects, such as people, pets, or
vehicles.
• You will be unable to lower the Height Floor below 8 ft (2.4 m) height
floor while tracking a subject.
• While following a subject, Skydio may become trapped by obstacles
and be unable to continue following due to the height restriction, even
though the space underneath the drone is clear.

Height Limits
Pre-Flight
NOTE: The Height Floor setting only applies while a subject is being tracked. If Skydio is in manual flight mode with no
subject selected, you always have full control over the drone’s height.
Disabling the Height Floor setting may increase tracking performance by
allowing Skydio to fly under low-lying obstacles, such as tree branches
and overhangs, to maintain a visual line of sight. It also allows users to
set the preferred follow height low to the ground, capturing high-energy
shots from a unique ground-hugging perspective.
Skydio only avoids obstacles that are not in motion. Cars, balls,
animals, other drones, other people, or similar moving objects will not be
avoided if they’re moving faster than walking speed.
The combination of low elevation flight and high-speed tracking
presents an increased risk of collision with moving objects. Skydio, Inc.
strongly recommends users only disable the Height Floor setting when
operating in wide open, outdoor spaces with no other people, animals,
or other moving objects nearby. Pilots maintain full responsibility for the
safe operation of their Skydio drone at all times during the flight.
