    EVO questions for potential buyer

    Hi jcommstudios! I wasn't criticizing the Autel Evo's Gimbal here - sorry if you thought i was. If the land is sloping down to the right by that amount, then thanks for explaining that. Though, even if it were level - a skew of 0.9° out of 360° is one part in 400, or 0.25% error. That seems...

    Setting waypoint mission to specific lattitude,longitude coordinates

    Why should data coverage be a requirement for maps? Why should a google account be a requiement for maps? I can download free maps of all kinds, but I cannot use persistent maps in Explorer - yet! :)

    Unbelievable - Drones might NOT have “attacked” Gatwick Airport

    Well at least google maps + explorer can be cached indefinitely so you don't have to grab the maps of your flight area just before heading out, giving your flight plan and date to google. Oh wait..

    EVO electronics

    I haven't seen any reference to them using existing systems, and to be competitive in the weight category I think they have to roll their own hardware, not sure though. I can give you one tidbit right now: GNU is involved ;)

    AUTEL EVO dji Crystal Sky

    Is it possible to seperate the antenna amplifier from the controller via a cable (a few yards long)? Or does that mess with the antenna properties (induction, whatever)?

    EVO questions for potential buyer

    I measured one of the shots and got 0.9° tilt. I was surprised how sensitive our eyes are to this. Are there any auto-horizon leveling postprocessing filters for video editors like Premiere? Or better, ffmpeg?

    Another EVO blockbuster from Autel

    I didn't see any text in the video or the youtube description claiming that the camera shots of the buggy were using Autel's dynamic tracking. They're just following the buggy with a pilot, as any competent videographer would, to get a good shot. So why are you acting like they're misleading...

    autel sdk and developers

    It's not as if people can't make their own hardware with open components. Autel just has made a nice piece of kit with low weight. Opening-up some or all of the platform presents a low-hanging fruit market opportunity. The first, easiest step is to allow user-cached map data. There are plenty...

    Map caching

    This is a CANFIX if Explorer App source gets released.

    Like in a painting!

    Very pretty and I like the music too. Thanks.

    Map caching

    Yep, that's what you get for building-in dependence on Google to your product. For a high-level discussion of the problems associated with such errors, Econlib did an interesting interview with Nissen Taleb on 'antifragility'. We're facing an increasingly interdependent and hence fragile...

    Flying without Data?

    And how about caching maps without a Google account? A Google Account was not listed as prerequisites for this Drone.

    Map caching

    Yeah i just spent 1/2 hour zipping around my areas of interest in the autel explorer app and can confirm IT DOES NOT save downloaded / cached maps to my phone. I spose there's a reason for this? Hmm? Like "you must log into your google account to cache your maps"? Yes? Yeah, how about NO...

    autel sdk and developers

    iahgt i'm not interested in flying around and taking pictures. I want to play with the drone software. Autel has so far not responded to me. They should reconsider that.

    (Add-On) 3D Printed parts and accessories

    I would like prop guards for mine as well. What is the weight of these versus those from Autel? What kind of plastic should be used? I have never 3D printed.
