Connectivity problems are just inherent with the Evo 2 compared to your other drone, it's signal tech just cannot approach that. It's sad to say but I had two completely different Evo 2 sets and both exhibited the same sort of issues (though with lots of experimenting I was finally able to...

Why in the world would you buy a $1800 drone for LOS when you can get a cheesy $500 drone that does that? I have a youtube channel for my drone flying (mostly for friends) and all my flights are not LOS. Honestly the Evo 2's are a joke and not worth anywhere near the price. Heck the $799 Air 2...

In my previous message I said I drove into the middle of nowhere, literally 40 miles from any civilization. Tried 2 Evo 2's (an 8k and a Pro). Did not expect less than 10% of the claimed range - who would expect something that bad? Pulled out my old drone and easily hit 20,000 feet with no...

I drove literally into the middle of nowhere and tried to fly both my Evo 2's. I have my old drone (different brand) and flew it out to over 20,000 feet distant, same location these could only muster ~3,800 ft. I really don't have the desire to buy special electromagnetic detection gear or...

I bought two of them an Autel Evo 2 Pro and an Autel Evo 2 8K. Tried them in 4 locations. Best distance I ever achieved was 3600 feet before they automatically return to home. They would reacquire at about 2800 feet.

Thing is even 6000ft is not that far. I tried it with TWO Evo 2 Autel drones in multiple locations.

I returned the drone and Autel hit me with a nearly $400 restocking fee. Someone here suggested I post it on their facebook and they deleted it immediately. Very scary.

I posted on their facebook and Autel deleted it within seconds to prevent anyone seeing it. Customers should use *extreme caution when purchasing an Autel drone. Clearly their business practices in both finance and technical support are not good.

It's Autel because I bought two an 8K and a Pro. Both experienced the same range issues in my area so I returned them both. 8K one was Amazon (said Autel but it was actually the Adorama Amazon store) - they gave 100% refund after checking out package and included items for 1 day. The OTHER one...

I wish I had - but no indication from them they would try to literally run off with almost $400.

I bought the Evo2 Pro and returned it after just a few days once I determined the range wasn't what I hoped for my area. 100% pristine drone and 100% pristine packaging. If they ever resolve this I'll post an update.

I ended up refunding the Evo 2 8k and the Evo 2 Pro (and the live deck). The low signal strength in even mildly populated areas is just a deal breaker. To those who responded THANK YOU very much for your attempts to help. Very appreciated. Had Autel been more responsive and helpful I might have...

Autel's own engineers stated the "bandwidth" setting in the app is nothing of the sort - it merely defines the scale of the graph shown above it. That setting has nothing whatsoever to do with transmission rate to the drone. I spent lots of time attempting to point the antennas directly at the...

So now I have the Evo 2 Pro and flew it today. It's a replacement unit, upgraded from an Evo 2 8K. The maximum range I could achieve before automatic drone return to home in a wide open field not near anything was a pitiful 1,500 feet. So I tried the 8k in 4 different places and the Pro in 4...

I'm starting to think it's range of the Evo 2 is just extremely limited, as in a typical realistic range of like 1/4 - 1/2 mile from the controller. I guess anything more than that you might need to be in an empty desert or grand canyon type area. I saw a review tonight of a gadget for the Evo...
