    SOLD: Gently-used EVO + (OTG Bundle + MORE) $780 US + shipping (firm)

    UPDATE: SOLD. Thank you. Hello fellow Autel Pilots. With mixed emotions, I am putting my "Orange Cruise Missile" up for sale. In short, I cared for it in a meticulous fashion (as most of us here do) and I do not foresee flying it very much in the future, so I must let it go. My best estimate is...

    EVO Return to home speed against the wind is very slow...

    Yes, I have experienced this with BOTH my Evo and my Parrot Anafi. It can be a bit scary/nerve-wracking the first time if you cut it close on battery power. That said, my friend with a Mavic 2 Pro said he had the same issue one time flying downwind and returning upwind... the quad crawled back...

    Over and Under an Old Railroad Bridge in Oregon

    Hmmm. I am not 100% sure of the cause of the hesitancy. It has never done it before but I have never flown it within so much steel. I have flown it between trees in similar fashion and never had a problem. I did have obstacle avoidance on but there was no indication that was the cause (there was...

    Over and Under an Old Railroad Bridge in Oregon

    Thank you. The Evo halted and hesitated when flying on the bridge about 5 feet above the deck surface. It was basically inside a giant metal cage at that point and sort of hesitated or slowed and almost stopped a couple times. But i edited that footage out. Going under bridges was no problem.

    Over and Under an Old Railroad Bridge in Oregon

    While flying on the footbridge about 4 feet up from walkway, there was a lot of magnetic interference and the drone halted and hesitated...I cut that footage out though.

    Over and Under an Old Railroad Bridge in Oregon

    Started raining the moment I got in the air, so I made quick work of it! I hope you enjoy.

    I am pretty happy wth the bag. It is not perfect but it does the job. Here is how I do it.

    Just Outside of Las Vegas

    The day after I flew on the strip (see earlier post from last week), my staff and I went out and hiked a little in Red Rock Canyon early on a Sunday morning. The light was so nice. I only flew for about 20 minutes, 2 quick flights, but the conditions and light were good. I hope you like. Cheers.

    EVO Horseshoe Dam and Cave Creek field tests

    Thank you. That was thread is pretty informative. But after reading it , it still looks to me that one CAN fly over Corp of Engineer Dams (if flight is not done in unsafe or reckless manner) but you can't launch or land from dam (which i did). The outliers seem to be the crazy TVA, which tried...

    EVO Horseshoe Dam and Cave Creek field tests

    If i am understanding you correctly, you are saying that you verified that dams with hydroelectric plants are no fly zones? If you find out what law or rule says that hydroelectric plants are security-sensitive (or otherwise restricted with respect to drone photo/video), I would be interested in...

    EVO Horseshoe Dam and Cave Creek field tests

    Okay, so you were just guessing...I wasn't sure if you had specific info. I asked because I have filmed at a couple of dams previously and plan to do so again. Prior to flying I used both airmap and the the same link you just furnished, (which is a great resource). If one clicks through that FAA...

    EVO Horseshoe Dam and Cave Creek field tests

    Ansia, what Federal, state or local law specifically are you referring to that restrict or prohibits flights near horseshoe dam in AZ?
