    Has anyone found a sun shade suitable for the EVO 2 v3 SE controller?

    Has anyone found a sun shade suitable for the EVO 2 v3 SE controller? Although it is 900 nits it is difficult to see in direct sunlight. After seeing 160 views and no comments I'm assuming I will have to create one. lol

    What happened to my Batteries???

    @Cdoms1 as @herein2021 said drain them completely and recharge. You may get them back. As far as maintaining the EVO1 batteries don't trust the built in discharge function. turn on your drone without the controller on (take props off if you want to I don't) and let it sit but watch it and turn...

    Jello Effect

    I clicked over to your YouTube channel and watched. Definitely not jello. Looks more like a vibration from unbalanced props or gimble jitter.

    EVO 1 Old Age Problems?

    And that is why I picked up a tried and true Yuneec H Plus. There is still support and batteries are plentiful and are the same as used in the H520. I was was ready for a 1" sensor and considered the EVO2 but with the chip debacle and the lack of support the H Plus was a better way to go. I've...

    What happens to my drone if controller turns off?

    I've actually had this happen. The controller shut down and the drone did an RTH. It was not at the spot I had initially launched but was very close. Also interesting is that the launch point was about 10 feet from my vehicle. It returned and as it got close to the car it sensed the proximity...

    When to use 4k video ?

    @Jirka If you are a pro shooter and are archiving video for clients shooting 4K future proofs the clients footage. Once we make the transition to 4K, as we did from SD to HD years ago, you have usable footage for the future. I shoot most projects 4K and convert to 1080p for the edit unless...

    Tablet for the RC

    Picked up the EVO 1 when they first came out. I've been using the Galaxy Tab A 7" for quite some time. Its got Quad-Core 1.3GHz | 1.5 GB RAM | which is great with the EVO1 as long as you are running the proper version of the Explorer app. They are available on Amazon reconditioned for about...

    Not going to buy any more Autels

    @YuKay The H Plus is capable of a smooth yaw (pan) it just takes a bit of getting used to the sticks. I had the same complaint about the EVO controller. I found by using my thumb at the base of the stick worked better than the end of the stick. Same with the H Plus. It shoots excellent 4K video.

    EVO 1 Old Age Problems?

    @fly186 10 months sitting and the EVO batteries are toast without using them. Better pick some up if you plan to fly. Autel is notorious for abandoning past products which they've done with the X-Star and now EVO 1. Make sure you buy new ... B&H has some in stock for $91. Best Buy still has...

    EVO1 and Lumix G7 Test

    Beautiful but hazy day on the San Joaquin Delta in NorCal. Shot the Lumix G7 and EVO 1 to check the compatibility of look for an upcoming project that requires the smallest gear I can put together with the most impact. Shot in 4K and edited on a 1080p30 timeline. Looks like this will work!

    Not going to buy any more Autels

    @YuKay I think you are correct. My 1st larger drone was the Yuneec H480 which I eventually had a Peau 3.97 lens installed in CGO3+ to get a better image. I bought the EVO1 and was amazed at the 1/2" sensors video quality. I have watched the EVO2 V1 V2 debacle as I was looking for a 1" sensor as...

    Can a wavy/Jell-O video be stabilized?

    @herein2021 Rolling shutter is just a phenomena that happens from time to time with CMOS sensor cameras. The V2 was what it was in 2016. The V4 and V5 are much improved over the early version especially the standalone version. I've used it on footage that needed stabilization with 1" CMOS...

    Can a wavy/Jell-O video be stabilized?

    @SachseSkyScenes Make sure you dig in and try various settings. I've used this since V2 (2016) and it has saved me a few times. V4 has worked well as a stand alone regardless of frame rate. I just run problematic scenes at 4K in the highest output setting. If you get the plugin it will only work...
