    Autel Evo 2 V3 wont fly

    My thoughts and prayers are with you. I've been frustrated with Autel customer service for over 2 years. The most efficient way that I have found to solve the multitude of unexpected problems has been to ask CHAT GTP a clear question and let "the machine" guide me to the solution.

    Geo Fencing / No Fly Zone

    I purchased my EVO for the very same reason. I fly a V3 now. Just remember that although it will take off and fly in the restricted air-space that does not mean it's legal. Always check your air-space prior to take-off. (DJI geofences areas well beyond the actual restricted space so having an...

    Contemplating a V3, but some questions…

    I won't be purchasing any Autel products in the foreseeable future. That being said I split my flight-time pretty much equally now between my V3 and my DJI drones. I bought the Autel because of the geofencing in my area and I will say that the craft and the video it produces are remarkably...

    EVO 11 V3 operates perfectly with no problems...lol

    Depending upon how the 6K footage is rendered your footage may not look remarkably better because it's been reduced. I use 6K in any mission that does not require slow motion sequences and the resulting video finished product is brilliant and very readily distinguishable from my 4K footage.

    SE Controller Battery Charging Problems Continue (August 25, 2023) and now the controller will not take a charge at all.

    I bought mine from B & H and still had a similar, but longer and more frustrating experience. Solved my problem (after a year and a half) by purchasing a replacement SE Controller on EBay for $400, paired that one up with my bird and have not had any problems in the past month. I don't think the...

    Autel ripped me off

    It's a real shame because the product in amazing. The service is every bit as bad as their drones are good.

    Autel ripped me off

    Unfortunately your store is not uncommon.

    The worst thing I did was drop DJI and buy an AUTEL lite+. - I'm going back to dji

    If you’re in an area that does not have restrictions then DJI is my recommendation…

    Evo 2 V3 won't connect to controller any more(sort of!)

    That issue has been resolved.

    New Autel SMARTCONTROLLER SE

    I concur. I have largely remediated this issue by purchasing a second SE battery and always removing the battery between uses. It’s still not right but I have to have the system ready when I need to fly. I still have a Mavic and a Phantom 4 for backup but they are geofenced in my area to an...

    I gave it a shot. Hopefully it will perform as advertised now. Thank you.

    New Autel SMARTCONTROLLER SE

    I bought the EVO ll v3 with the SE Controller. For the first six months it was not dependable and I had to buy a second battery due to changing issues. Since August I have not had major problems (although sometimes one battery or the other just doesn’t connect.) I would absolutely not recommend...

    EVO 2 Pro V3 RTK + Smart Controller - Nothing but trouble

    Unfortunately in my experience the Autel policy regarding the SE Controller for the EVO ll v 3 is SELL IT AND FORGET IT. Looks like it’s the same across all models.

    Evo 2 V3 won't connect to controller any more(sort of!)

    Unfortunately in my experience the Autel policy regarding the SE Controller for the EVO ll v 3 is SELL IT AND FORGET IT. I’ve had difficulties with mine since purchasing it in December of 2022. I will say that since purchasing a second battery ( so one is always charging ) I’ve been successfully...
