Hand launching
CAUTION: High risk of injury. To avoid injury stay away from and do not touch rotating propellers when they are spinning. Skydio
does not recommend launching the drone while holding the drone in your hand.
WARNING: Exercise extreme care to avoid injury if the drone takes off from your hand. NEVER hand launch your X2 when in GPS Night
Flight mode, as it may cause severe injury.
1. Find a clear spot to launch your Skydio X2. When hand
launching, the area 10 feet (3 m) above you, 15 feet
(4.5 m) in front of you, and 3 feet (1 m) on either side
of you should be clear.
2. DO NOT hand launch on windy days. If there is any
wind, for your safety make sure that it is blowing at your
back, and never towards you. If the wind is gusty or coming
from different directions, consider launching from the
ground, or flying at another time.
3. Hold your Skydio X2 from behind and pointed away from
you, with your hand lightly gripping the battery from
underneath. It’s critical that you keep your fingers
below the Skydio X2 chassis and away from the
propellers at all times.
4. Point the front camera away from you and hold your
Skydio X2 away from your body, level and still. Ensure
your arm is extended such that the rear propellers will
not make contact with your arm.
5. Using your other hand, initiate a launch of the Skydio X2
using the controller Launch/Land button.
6. Release Skydio X2 carefully as the propellers begin to spin
up by slowly relaxing your grip. Keep your hand still -
Skydio X2 will simply slide off your palm and take flight
on its own. There is no need to push the drone up in the
air - just release your grip and use your flattened hand
as a takeoff platform.
