I agree in most cases, however, in this instance the drone flew away. It could have had a frequently jam, which I suspect might have happened or a software issue. The only thing I don't like is these drones are not dual frequency. In addition, the company advertises the fact that the...

Well, after back and forth phone calls, they offered me a refurbished drone for 699.00 and I have to send them my controller and charger. So, with that being said, I have a controller, two batteries, a charger, a 4 way charging tower for sale. All equipment is in excellent condition. My new...

Be careful about flying with controller only. My app would freeze occasionally, so at times I would only use the controller. Well, unfortunately after a firmware update I had a fly away and could not retrieve the drone. I was using the controller only and now Autel says, no logs - no luck buddy...

Yes yes, do not ever fly without the app on, it collects flight logs. Logs are stored on the drone or on the app. If you are not using the app and you have a fly away like I did, Autel will not help you. Your buying another drone.

This is and was what I normally see before I get all the bars for a GPS lock. Before the fly away, as I mentioned, I saw ATTI on the controller, then I waited until I received a full GPS lock. It's says GPS in place of ATTI. At that point I launched the drone, but for some reason about 30...

Well after my fly away, drone was not retrievable, they asked for flight logs. No logs, no service basically. Offered me a 699 dollar referb. and I send them my controller and charger. This was right after the 1.5.8 update by the way. If they don't offer something better than that I'm done...

I will, I keep reviewing in my head if I did anything wrong, but I connected and launch the same way every time. 25 out of 26 flights were perfect, no problems at all. I've never crashed, dropped this drone or the controller, not a scratch on them. I have other drones where you have to spin...

It has to be a bad release of firmware. I work on software for radios and this is common, but is not good when it comes to a drone. Yes I am calling and want a replacement.

I just did that update and lost my drone 2 days ago, 1.5.8!!!

I do use the app with my phone, but it's been glitchy. It stopped working a couple of times while in flight and made me nervous to use it. I reloaded the app again to my phone, again it does not always work. I do have previous flight logs but not for this failed flight.

It originally said ATTI, and I did notice there were no GPS bars on the controller, so I waited and finally all the bars showed up to get the lock. I then launched the drone and it hovered right in front of me, I moved it higher, and then noticed it began to move around as you described, but...

Im wondering if I should go with DJI next? I live in the US, so I like the idea of Autel being located in Washington. As far as software updates, I guess why buy another Autel then, if I can't trust the updates? 20% discount, ha, I don't think so. Lol. I'm just glad the drone flew out over the...

I had this feeling inside too, don't do the update. I went ahead anyway and bang! Perfect drone lost! Since it's under warranty, I hope they can at least give some sort of discount on another one.

On July 1st I saw that my EVO needed a Firmware update 1.5.8. This update was allowed over the air via my controller. The update was successful. I shut the drone and controller down after the update and then restarted them and everything connected as normal, controller, all GPS was good, camera...
