A million thank you's! I thought I had a bricked gimbal after doing the latest firmware update to V2.7.45! :) I've made sure to archive these, just in case I ever need them again. Now to lock down the phone so it never updates the Autel Explorer app.

Yours truly and the Boof on Saturday with the big orange bird (EVO 2 Pro V1) at a disused quarry on the outskirts of town. I loved the clouds rolling through so fast and patchy as they hit the site, adding some drama.

As I just discovered over here! Travesty averted, and my big orange bird is just as wonderful as always! Considering this model is to be deprecated, I'll be leaving it on this firmware, and not updating the Autel Explorer app ever again. If it works, it don't need fixing! ;)

I am in the same basket as you, wih an inoperative V1 EVO 2 Pro 6K, currently waiting on their R&D team to get back to the Autel Support person I am dealing with. I had no idea the gimbal could actually invert 180 degrees on itself until it did this after updating to firmware 2.7.45. o_O...

Yes, a couple of gradients were applied on different angles to draw the eye to the maze quicker.

My apologies if I have put you off of doing a comparison video, my suggestions are not scientific, they are just to level the playing field, which requires full manual control of capture on all devices to at least have the capture parameters as close as possible for a fair comparison to be...

No need to apologise at all, testing and comparing auto setting captures just shows which company has spent more time and effort on producing pleasing automatic imagery for the masses! It doesn't really show the end results of someone that can manually use a camera and then edit the captures...

I had issue with the update stalling at 72% via micro SD card transfer of the BIN file, then appearing to at 99% when the battery died while I waited. A fresh battery, restart of everything and a fresh copy of the BIN file later, all went well. I was so thankful that the battery firmware was not...

Settings?

Adelaide based here, got my EVO 2 Pro a few weeks back and am loving it. I just did the updates to the latest firmware and have zero problems after the annoyance of the constant compass error and EMF warnings of the last couple of weeks! I'll be flying her indoors tomorrow for the first time, so...

It's a waste of time, it's already been done to death on YouTube and in my eyes is a flawed comparison method. Do photo captures as RAW files, all sunny or daylight WB and the same ISO's, so people can see unedited images, rather than edited by the bird (in the drone) comparisons, as that is...

That would be annoying, mine always disappears after the EVO is ready for take-off. It sounds like yours is a malfunction of some sort, work with Autel, sharing error reports/Log files, etc.. so they can work out what's going on specifically. I hope they get on to it fast for you.

@Jouk how long are you waiting when you start up your Evo? I find these messages are there initially, even after updated firmware to the most recent, but only for maybe 30 seconds or so, then they stop appearing once the drone is ready to take off.

You can achieve this with the Lidar feature of the current iPad Pro, rumoured to be coming to the next iPhone top of the line models too. It's most impressive!
