Video: Mashup of Tyler McCaul's Best Self-Filmed Drone Shots
Tyler McCaul self-filmed these clips with the autonomous Skydio 2 drone.
 | Some of my favorite self-filmed clips from 2021 shot on my Skydio 2. These drones are super easy to use. You can fly them manually like a normal drone, or you can use the app to select whatever subject you desire and it will track it and film it for you using its autonomous software. The app has different settings that allow you to position the drone wherever you want in order to capture the type of shot you're looking for, and it has obstacle avoidance so it won't run into anything along the way. |
We can see why Tyler might want to film himself after this drone pilot missed the shot and the drone flew right into Tyler mid-flip!

That's some phenomenal tech! Made me a little dizzy after 3 straight minutes of it, but man those drones are so awesome for this kind of MTB filming. Oh, and not to forget that was some amazingly stylish riding too!

This drone is amazing. Many of those shots wont even be possible for an fpv pilot due to the rigid camera mounting. The fact that this is totally autonomous, no pilot needed, is just amazing. Truly a feat of engineering. Adam, Hayk and the skydio team- you got a good thing going!
And Tyler- always a beast! Great stuff!

If you had read the article you’d know that the drone that crashed into him was being piloted by a person, and wasn’t a skydio?
