    Not a good start

    I had a similar problem when I tried to get Autel Care for the new Nano+ I got from Best Buy last November. Autel said my serial number was not in their system so they could not confirm my Autel Care coverage. I had communications with Autel US customer support twice, and they finally had to get...

    Evo nano plus IMU and gimbal calibration?

    I've calibrated my gimbal a few times when the horizon is not even. Today I noticed some toilet bowling when landing my Nano+, so I calibrated the compass & IMU, which eliminated the problem.

    That is good to know. Thanks for this info.

    Autel Nano+ drones sold on ebay

    Yeah, it sounds like you have no warranty at all with any of the ebay Autel drones. The prices are great, but you are on your own if you buy one. Any warranty on them is probably through Autel in China, and good luck with that.

    Autel Nano+ drones sold on ebay

    I was considering the purchase of a second Nano+ based on the great prices I have recently seen on ebay. In checking with Autel CS, I was told that none of the ebay drones are covered by Autel's warranty program (they supposedly can't even be registered), and they are not eligible for Autel...

    firmware and software update

    Same here. Got the "upgrade failed" message, but firmware then showed as 1.8.2. Had two flights after that with no issues.

    Great Best Buy Black Friday deal on Autel Nano Plus

    Yes, I saw that, but Best Buy has a longer return period so I went with them. I have until mid-January to return it if I need to. B&H photo also has the same deal, so Autel must have sponsored this promotion. With all of the issues reported here I wanted to have sufficient time to make sure my...

    Great Best Buy Black Friday deal on Autel Nano Plus

    I couldn't resist this deal, even though I already have a Mini 3 Pro. I've been wanting an Autel drone for a while now, and this deal got me to pull the trigger. Really looking forward to night photos with the Nano +.

    Great Best Buy Black Friday deal on Autel Nano Plus

    Best Buy is running a Black Friday deal on the Nano Plus Premium Bundle for $709.99, a discount of $390. Pretty great deal if you are looking for one right now.

    MINI 3 PRO RULES !!! Or....does it ???

    I would not recommend any of the sub 250g drones for flying in windy conditions. I would look at the Autel Evo Lite+ or the DJI Air 2S, both of which have 20mp 1" sensor cameras. Not sure about the Lite+, but the Air2S handles wind very well, and is quite capable in the conditions you describe...

    Firmware Update: LITE/LITE+ 1.2.16

    I was going to sell my Air2S and get a Lite+, but no way I'm doing that now. Maybe if they fix the gimbal issues I'll pick one up later.
