NOTE: This setting does not persist over battery swaps and
power cycles. Each time you power on your drone, you will
need to re-configure your Obstacle Avoidance setting.
If you purchased the AEF software add-on, this setting
allows you to switch between Standard, Close, Minimal, and
Disabled obstacle avoidance settings for your X2:
• Standard - Default obstacle avoidance setting.
Skydio X2 will stay about 33 in (84 cm) away from
obstacles. When in this mode, X2’s top ground speed
is 35mph
(16 m/s).
• Close - Skydio X2 will stay about 11 in (28 cm) away
from obstacles. When in this mode, X2’s top ground
speed is limited to 18 mph (8 m/s).
• Minimal - Skydio X2 will stay about 4 in (10 cm) away
from obstacles. When in this mode, X2’s top ground
speed is limited to 18 mph (8 m/s).
• Disabled - Skydio X2 will not avoid obstacles.
When in this mode, X2’s top ground speed is limited
to 18 mph (8 m/s).
WARNING: Flying with Close, Minimal or Disabled obstacle
avoidance settings greatly increases Skydio X2’s risk of collision. Take caution when flying in these modes. Minimal or
Disabled obstacle avoidance settings are for limited use cases to slowly and carefully navigate tight spaces, and should
only be used if you are an experienced pilot. Skydio recommends turning down Controller throttle, roll and pitch sensitivity
to the lowest setting and proceeding at a max speed of 2 mph (1 m/s).
NOTE: When Obstacle Avoidance is set to any mode other than Standard, the drone’s top speed of 18 mph (8 m/s) will be
observed for automated actions such as Return to Home and flight between waypoints. This top speed will override any speed
settings you have set in the app.
