    Base Station Recommendation

    Can any recommend an RTK base station that they use successfully, reliably, and repeatedly? This is for use with public safety. Thanks! Thanks!

    What a sad news like this!

    I just wanted to clarify something. When a preorder is placed with a reseller the preorder money does not go to the manufacturer or distributor until the product ships. Manufacturers and distributors do not invoice the resellers until products ship. Even in this crazy time of long backorders...

    Smart Controller thumbwheels

    If you’ve been dealing with commercial/professional electronics, all manufacturers suggest AVOIDING OTA or wireless updates to any firmware when possible. It’s more stable as it eliminates the possibility of packet loss due to wireless interference. Updating via the SD card is the way to go.

    Propeller Holder for Evo 2 - if you have one please reply here!

    I use the same kind of Velcro strap on my 1st gen EVO.

    Neighborhood Watch/ Surveillance : CAR CHASE of a suspected drug buyer with the EVO2 6k drone equipped with two 1500 lumen EDC spot lights.

    That is all good! My suggestion would be to go to everyone in the neighborhood and leave a letter in their mailbox informing them of your intentions and receiving their blessing. It would be much better to have cooperation with your neighbors preventing any future issues.

    Neighborhood Watch/ Surveillance : CAR CHASE of a suspected drug buyer with the EVO2 6k drone equipped with two 1500 lumen EDC spot lights.

    I’m sure your intentions are good and if you did deter a bad guy from committing a crime, that’s awesome. But, if you were flying around my neighborhood day or night and chasing cars I’d call the cops ASAP. Looking into peoples yards without their permission and lighting up their property is IMO...

    Propeller Holder for Evo 2 - if you have one please reply here!

    I’ve got one of these for each of the 3 units I operate. They’re awesome and fit perfectly in the rugged cases.

    Notice From Autel About Controllers and Compatibility in the Future

    Don’t even get me started on “the good of the country.” Sheesh!

    Notice From Autel About Controllers and Compatibility in the Future

    Autel for the most part does not sell direct to consumers. They have a network of dealers (my company included) and distributors. It’s our job to inform and educate our customers of any issues with the products we sell. Most resellers/dealers do not perform any repairs. For that you will be...

    Notice From Autel About Controllers and Compatibility in the Future

    I had no idea. I just assumed they’d be releasing a new model. I guess it makes sense, then it would be an EVO III not EVO II V2. Doh!

    Notice From Autel About Controllers and Compatibility in the Future

    Totally! I have an old Panasonic DVX-100A (2005 I think) that was the first prosumer camera that shot in 24P. I also bought a $2K underwater housing and spent dozens of hours fabricating a new 1” thick acrylic port with custom 5” viewfinder. It was rendered obsolete just a few years later but I...

    Notice From Autel About Controllers and Compatibility in the Future

    Remote ID right now does not have requirements or standards for the manufacturers to meet. So there is no point in investing in R&D for a feature or standard that no one has any idea how to complete. I’m sure V2’s will have some awesome features. Swappable payloads with V1’s would be ideal...

    Notice From Autel About Controllers and Compatibility in the Future

    My understanding is that nothing is manufactured in CA, just screw driver assembled. I’m sure I’m not going to make any friends with this but, I see so much anger/rage in this thread including ridiculous posts saying that Autel just bricked their drones. That’s crazy to me. When I got the news...

    Can't fly faster than 3 MPH?

    Chances are it was in novice mode which limits the speed. We were running an operation with 2 EVO II’s and one pilot had the same issue with a brand new EVO II Pro. It turned out he was in novice mode as that’s the default out of the box.
