FLYING SKYDIO X2 / THE FLIGHT SCREEN
Signal Strength Indicator
Displays the current strength of your radio link to the Skydio
X2 while in flight. As the signal strength decreases, you may
experience a lower quality video feed or a delay in their
controls.
For best signal quality, always maintain a direct line of sight
between the controller and Skydio X2.
When flying at close range high altitude, point the controller
cover (broad side) toward the drone for maximum wireless
performance.
When flying at max range, point the controller cover (broad
side) toward the drone while also keeping the controller as far
away from your body as possible. Bringing the controller too
close to your body will impact wireless performance.
NOTE: Signal strength and maximum control range may
be affected when flying in areas with electromagnetic
interference.
Battery Indicator
Displays the current battery level of the Skydio X2 drone. Skydio X2’s battery level is based on the battery’s remaining capacity.
The green portion of the battery indicator represents flight time available before return and landing is recommended. As the drone’s
distance from the launch point increases, the yellow portion of the battery indicator will increase. As the drone’s altitude increases,
the red portion of the battery indicator increases.
When Skydio X2 reaches low battery, it will notify you in time to return home. Reference the Low Battery section on page 78 under
Emergency Procedures for more information.
Camera Settings
Allows you to change between Video and Photo recording modes. Skydio X2 can capture photos or video but not both at the same
time, and your color and thermal cameras will always be in the same recording mode. Whenever X2 captures a photo or video, it
will capture one file with the color camera and a second with the thermal camera.
