    Jumping exposure

    Lock your exposure (AEL) in the settings. The camera uses whatever is available (not set manually by you) to automatically correct the exposure. If you lock the exposure manually that will stop that

    PolarPro ND Filters?

    There is no easy or universal answer. The filter has a specific purpose and it is really dependent on the light conditions and the "effect" you want....I would suggest you spend some time researching by looking at the many YouTube videos regarding the filters use and why you would use...

    Question on Charging the Remote Controller for an Autel Evo

    A standard USB charger or power bank will work... Just verify that it does not exceed the max output of the OEM one. The output on the 5V circuit (USB) should be printed be on the charger. A quality charger should provide the needed output automatically but some cheaper ones will not. Probably...

    Help! Dynamic Tracking

    Are you trying to have it track you going backward (the drone going backward)? It will not track if it has to go backward unless you enable it. Is it possibly stopping because of the sun fooling the front sensors it into thinking there is an obstacle and it is stopping it?

    Camera focus and sharpness.

    Yes, Plz post your experiences. I still think the hardware has changed in the later devices including the camera itself. Autel has been great about the service but most of the problems I had seem to be the result of not properly testing the drone before sending it back or re-labeling as a...

    Camera focus and sharpness.

    As suggested above, try experimenting with the "style" settings (sharpness, contrast, and color) and that might bring an image you will like. I can tell you this, I bought the EVO in Oct of 2018 and was floored by the clarity and general image quality. In Feb of this year (2019) I (All my...

    How close can the EVO follow you?

    AS above, the Follow Me/tracking on any of the drones is going to be sketchy around trees. And will probably run right into them...I suggest finding an open spot (without trees, etc) to see how it does at the heights you want before attempting that in a tree-filled location

    Question about Go Home

    The drone will first rise to the set "return to home" altitude and then go back to where it took off in a straight line. That is why it is important to have that altitude set high enough to clear any trees/obstacles because it will return automatically if it loses connection and you might not...

    I love the video, nice job! Not to be "that" guy...But in the USA at least 7/28/19 was a Sunday? No biggie but I noticed it and had to verify that I didn't fall into some time warp!!

    Amazon Fire device

    Although it is possible to get it to run, you need to do a few things and honestly, it is not worth it...it barely runs it...I have done it and the lag and delay using that tablet (not enough ram or processing power) are not worth the trouble The Amazon tablet has to have some software added to...

    Gimbal tilt up?

    There is no way to tilt the gimbal up. Maybe if somebody modifies the app or controller software that would change

    Strange view from gimbal

    That is probably the overexposure warning...usually called "zebra stripes" that does not show up in the final recorded video/picture just in the viewer... Although you described them as "horizontal lines" the Zebra stripes are vertical. There is a selection in the camera settings of the app to...

    Getting wifi

    I don't understand what you mean by "looking for WIFI forever to fly my drone" ...Are you assuming that you need an internet connection to operate? Are you using a controller with the Breeze or the Spark? The Breeze, Spark, and Mavic Air have their own WIFI signal that the controller (or phone)...

    Lost my EVO

    There IS some sort of "logs" or other info saved into the controller but I don't think we, as consumers, can access it. The reason I know this is because they always want the controller included when sending if for service to "review" the flight records which helps determine if it is warranty or...

    Does anyone know if the Evo will, in Dynamic Track mode...

    No, It will NOT automatically adjust altitude when locked on and tracking. Obstacle avoidance will stop it from hitting something (hopefully) but it will not adjust height
