    Autel to stop supporting some EVO II drones from May 2023

    I think it is time to part company with Autel kit. I purchased an Evo II V1 some two and a half years ago then upgraded to a V2 Enterprise a year ago. Whilst for me the hardware is excellent the Explorer app has been very disappointing and has hardly changed ice it was introduce. Autel have...

    Mission Planning on Smart Controller

    When I try to plan a Polygon Mission on the Smart Controller off-line i.e. I am not at the location where I will fly the mission, I move the map to the location I want, only to have the map return to my current location. This sort of defeats the idea of planning a mission in advance. Is there a...

    Basic help on Enterprise RTK

    Thank you for the information and you time, however I would like a little more detail. Q1, So this has to be set to On in order for the RTK positioning to work? Even with this turned off, I am sure I can successfully connect to a custom NTRIP service. Are you saying that if it is switched off...

    Basic help on Enterprise RTK

    I am in the United Kingdom and I am in the process of doing an simple guide to getting RTK working with the Enterprise. Unfortunately Autel documentation on the Enterprise RTK seems non-existent, so I have some questions. If someone has a few minutes to answer the questions I would be very...

    Autel EVO II Feature Requests – Submit Here

    I think it would more appropriate if there was a third party app like Litchi, which does the above ground level waypoints. Autel should concentrate on the basics and get them reliable and provide a good SDK for third parties. Autel could even commission a third party to provide an app.

    Autel EVO II Feature Requests – Submit Here

    The ability to record video in Rectangle and Polygon Missions. Currently I have to revert to my DJI Inspire 2 to do this.

    Help! EVO II stopped responding to controller, hovered, then fell HARD.

    I had a failure with an Enterprise last week. It was at 328ft and I initiated a spherical panorama. I have done quite a lot of panoramas but this time after 4 images the Smart Controller lost contact with the aircraft and it soon became clear the aircraft had crashed. There was something like...

    Smart controller v2 screen frozen cant reboot

    I have just got the Enterprise, obviously with the Smart Controller. My big frustration is that there is no percentage reading for the aircraft battery on the main flight screen. If you want to view the battery % you have to select settings and then battery, which to me is crazy. On the standard...

    Smart controller v2 screen frozen cant reboot

    I had a similar experience with the Smart Controller and Enterprise. On landing after the second flight the obstacle avoidance kicked in and the Smart Controller froze. I held the power button in for an extended period and fortunately the Controller powered off. I have not flown since due to...

    Autel EVO II Enterprise Series Unveiled!

    Do you have all the same camera settings with the Evo II Enterprise that you have with the Evo II Pro, specifically can you take RAW still images as well as setting the Exposure parameters i.e. Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. With the DJI Enterprise Advanced you don't have much control over the...

    Waypoints with the ability to insert a Radius

    Right now you cannot record video in a Rectangle or Polygon Mission on the Evo II with Explorer. This is absolutely crazy and something I have been on to Autel for more than a year, but it falls on deaf ears. They don't seem to understand the requirement. With my Inspire 2 and Litchi I can...

    Autel EVO II Pro - User Experience from a DJI User

    I agree with many of your comments however, yes the Remote Control could be improved but it is not as bad ergonomically as the Remote for the DJI Mini 2/Air 2. For me the remote of the Mavic Pro/Mavic 2 was good especially as it has a monochrome display that could be read in bright sunlight. I...
