    Question: Who tested the waypoints mission on the Evo 2.

    Well of course there's post, but if you could pre-program a route — even just a portion, esp one where you really needed to focus on the camera — it's gonna make work in post that much easier.

    Question: Who tested the waypoints mission on the Evo 2.

    I can see wanting to always be at the controls, especially for what might get replaced with the waypoint mission, but as I've read through this thread, it's clearly not possible. As someone who can envision a shot in my head (let's say not of a moving object, but through a city or along a...

    Evo 2 Pro 6K in High Winds Almost Had Fly Away

    You're lucky it's just wind. Crashed in August; got it back just in time for four months of snow and sub-10° temps, then it's been raining 5 out of seven days since March. I never considered some places are better to own a drone than others. I'd trade this mess for a windy HI island any day.

    Flight Record Password Reset?

    Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I still cannot sync my records to the cloud because I have no idea what I entered as a password almost a year ago. There HAS to be some way to reset this password, though Explorer offers no option. Does it require a reset by Autel themselves? I've tried every...

    Why I NEVER Use Circular Polarizing Filters (CPLs) With Drone Cameras

    I've never understood that rule either — like I said, I am new to video, but I like to shoot at 24 FPS, and I can think of a lot of reasons you wouldn't want to be "locked in" to 1/50 or 1/60th/sec.

    Why I NEVER Use Circular Polarizing Filters (CPLs) With Drone Cameras

    Yea the tilting my head while driving was a bit of a joke; keeping it in horizontal mode in the mount solves the problem. But all this and the other thread (on ND filters in general) is making me realize how much extra drone money could have gone into my investment account. The Pandemic: Some...

    Why I NEVER Use Circular Polarizing Filters (CPLs) With Drone Cameras

    Ang given that iPhone glass is polarized, it's always fun to have turn my head 90° while driving to see the screen on my mounted iPhone when when wearing polarized sunglasses. Otherwise? Black screen. At least I know the glasses' lenses are truly polarized ?.

    How many of us have lost their Autel drones?

    I came close trice; both invoved LR. I did learn that Ludicrous mode is not something to be toyed with. I also learned that testing distance with the stock antennas (or any antennas, though ironically this was to get a "baseline" before the antenna upgrade) is not neccessary. I also learned that...

    Where to find logs (no phone connected to remote; no SD card)

    (This is a cross post from some FB groups; I apologize. Whichever post gets more response, I'll take down the others.) I know how to pull logs off my phone when it's connected to the remote during flight. Is there any way to pull a flight log when there was no phone connected and no SD card in...

    SOLD: 4Hawks Raptor XR (Evo II), never taken out of Box: NOW * $130* w/free shipping

    Like the subject says: It just recently arrived (9/8) and has never been installed/used . Bought direct from 4Hawks in Poland (was having trouble finding it domestically at the time). Paid the standard $149 plus plus $30 shipping. I'm willing to eat the $30, but given the literally mint...

    LifThor Holder vs. Holder Combo?

    Thanks for the clarity! I don't think I'm gonna need a bag given the nuclear-football suitcase; have lanyards galore, and if I'm just going from the remote to my old Fire 8.9 HDX I just got working with Explorer (highest pixel density of any tablet ever made — if only the app could take full...

    LifThor Holder vs. Holder Combo?

    Thanks. Read the each description 100 times and missed that. Thanks. Topic can be closed.

    LifThor Holder vs. Holder Combo?

    My local drone guys, Empire Drone, are selling two different versions of the LifThor for the Evo II: One as just the holder, and the other as as a "combo". I was hoping that the combo included the 4Hawks mounting bracket, but that doesn't seem to be the case. You can see the two versions here...

    Hello from Upstate NY

    No... I didn't even know alternative controller software existed. I just returned the Tello. This was about eight months ago — it was bought on whim in the midst of the COVID lockdown; I was desperate for something to "play with". My actual knowledge of the drone world in any real sense was...
