Beacon Skills
Motion Track Skill
Motion Track is the default skill after launch and allows Skydio 2 to track and maintain a
safe distance from the subject while avoiding obstacles. In this skill you may use the Left
and Right Arrows or Wand, described below, to change the angle Skydio 2 films the
subject from, such as from the front, side, or behind.
In order for Skydio 2 to track a subject in a specified orientation, the subject must be
moving in order for Skydio 2 to determine where to move itself. If you change Skydio 2’s
orientation and notice it not changing to the newly selected orientation, begin moving so
Skydio 2 can determine where to move.
AFTER WANDING: SUBJECT NOT MOVING SUBJECT MOVING
