The Skydio 2+ (8/10, WIRED Recommends) has the best collision-avoidance and navigation system of any drone in this guide. If you’re looking for a drone that can follow your mountain bike through the trees or weave around canyon walls without your frantic guidance, this is the one for you. With a 27-minute flight time and a 6-mile range, it’s not quite a match for our top pick, but it’s plenty for most people. The main reason this isn’t our top pick is the camera. The 1/2.3-inch sensor is capable of 4K footage at 60 frames per second, but it’s not quite as nice as the 1-inch sensor in the Air 2S and Evo Lite+. Video pros should also note there’s no D-log support.
Still, if you can live without D-log and aren’t bothered by the slower sensor, this drone is capable of flying through situations other drones can’t. For some use cases, that might be better than a having a larger sensor.
