Maybe if your guns are firing. :D

I'm not sure they care to. In some ways, you could say Autel is out ahead of DJI. I think they see DJI as creating the drone industry but not the leader in every segment of it. So, I'm not sure they want to be in the same race that DJI sets. They certainly have products that are similar, but...

GM at Autel says its coming, but not anytime soon. I take that as a year or more.

If the new controller is with the new Pro, then that's kind of a bargain.

Thanks. Nice job.

I understand your frustration with regulations, but the car analogy you propose is not valid. The car salesman has nothing to say about where you drive, but the government says you can't drive on the wrong side of the road, how fast you can go and where you may not park it. Some regulations may...

Excellent post. It seems that local governments don't have any passion for UAV aviation, so they take the typical bureaucratic tack of just denying all access. They just don't want to deal with it. Damn shame for institutions that should be serving the public. I can understand some of their...

Not to get political or anything, but "overreach" is a difficult term to define, which you haven't. But to take your statement that governments should have zero say means we'll have aircraft crashing into each other all over the place. Also consider that this is a new area for the FAA and they...

Gotcha. I guess getting gradual changes from waypoint to waypoint will be even harder to get. I would like to see ways to program cinematic shots. Oh well.

I believe you can set a heading that is different from the direction of travel. So, if you are travelling due north, you could set the heading to west, so the camera would look west. Also available is Point-of-Interest (POI) that the camera will always look at while flying the mission. Not sure...

In film world, its called a trucking shot. Trucking shots are camera movement left or right. Dolly shots are camera movement in or out from the subject.

Having a resource like Litchi sounds like it would be great for cinematic shots. Unless you're really great at flying while moving the gimbal, hitting your shoot points could be tough. Imagine circling a bridge and then dropping altitude, raising the pitch on the gimbal just as you get to a...

Don't have answer to your 2 questions, but there is a rumor going that says Autel will release a new controller that may eliminate the need for a phone or tablet. Do not have a release date, but you might research that.

Thanks for all the research. I am a long time video editor but new to drones. After a good deal of looking, my first buy decision came to Evo II pro. I have a lot training to do on it and your info is very helpful. Thanks again

I just got an EVO 2. Without the props on and the EVO power on, there is a very noticeable clicking coming from the side. There is some fan noise, but this is another. Anyone else have this? What is it?
