    NEW PRICE FROM AUTEL FOR NANO+

    Oh boy. Confidence is low that Autel can continue to produce a viable product in this sector. I'll fly my EVO One until it fails and move on.

    Evo 1 battery deal

    It's now $49.95 US until September 27th. If you need batteries for the EVO 1 better get them before they are gone forever.

    Autel Announces Discontinuation of Support, Parts, and Batteries for the Evo 1

    While I'm happy with my EVO 1's performance I will not be recommending or purchasing Autel products in the future.

    Hey Randall - Welcome Aboard - Now Please Provide EVO 1 Support

    I'm 65 years old and have been a hobbyist R/C pilot my entire life. When the "quadcopter" craze started I built my own with instructions I found on the Internet and parts ordered online. None of these home-built drones had sophisticated GPS enabled controllers or high resolution cameras so you...

    Kitesurf video

    I'm 65 and could probably do it but don't want to take chances at this point in my life. This cat has probably used up 8 of it's 9 lives ;-)

    Kitesurf video

    I know nothing about kite surfing other than if I were younger I would have tried it. From Jannik's video it looks like they are running a pattern similar to what pilots use at airports, ie, upwind, crosswind, and downwind. That would make sense considering they all want the best wind and waves...

    One costly lesson in flying too close to trees

    Yup. I did a similar bonehead move when my EVO 1 was new. Flew under Oak trees that had Spanish Moss hanging from them. The EVO 1 sensors didn't notice the moss either. It caught the moss, flipped and hit the ground. Camera and gimbal had to be replaced.

    Why I NEVER Shoot Video at 24FPS

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and knowledge. Even though I'm just a hobbyist I benefit from learning how the pro's do it.

    Kitesurf video

    That looks like a lot of fun. How do they keep from running into each other? Good job keeping the EVO at a safe distance.

    Ice sailing and skating Hollande,

    Beautiful. Looks like fun. Good job tracking the boats too. Mooie. Ziet er leuk uit. Goed gedaan om de boten ook te volgen.

    Record Holder

    In the last 30+ years the Internet creeped into then dominated our lives in so many ways; many not so good. I think it made people rude at times kinda like how living in a hugely dense population will make people cold and uncaring about people they don't know. That's so true. I'm 65 and have...

    The dramatic pauses were great. Funny stuff.

    Florida Sunrise Above the Fog Layer and Landing

    Thank you. I'll try that for the next sunrise or sunset video. I have tried the manual settings but have found it easier to leave it in auto and tap on the Autel Explorer screen to "set" the shot.

    Florida Sunrise Above the Fog Layer and Landing

    I had an ND4 filter on the camera. The Video settings were as follows: PIV=manual, NTSC=Standard, Format=MP4, Resolution=4K (3840x2160), Frame Rate=60, Exposure Mode=Auto, EV=0, Color=Vivid, Style=0. Any recommended changes would be appreciated. Should I set it to the higher 4K resolution? What...
