    Autel sky app need a cellular connection?

    You’re welcome! It’s so much better using a tablet. 😊

    Autel sky app need a cellular connection?

    Yes! I use an iPad mini 4 exclusively with my lite+. It’s not a cellular-enabled model and I frequently fly in completely off-grid locations without WiFi or cellular service. I’ve never had a problem. The connection is between the controller and the iPad and is independent of cellular. Enjoy!

    Yep, that’s correct. Thank you!

    # of battery cells?

    Hi all, Does anyone know how many cells are in an Evo Lite+ battery? I ask because my Energen DroneMax charging station has settings for 3- and 4-cell batteries. I’ve used this to charge batteries in the field in both an older DJI Mavic Air (3-cells) and my Mavic 2 Pro (4-cells). I’m guessing...

    New AUTEL LITE Series firmware is out: 1.8.3

    Thanks! I did that. Everything seems to match up. Must be another odd Autel quirk.

    New AUTEL LITE Series firmware is out: 1.8.3

    Hi, Question for you. I updated the firmware (after updating the sky app), but it “failed” as it was nearing completion- maybe 70% of the way in. I tried again with another full battery, and a fully charged controller and iPad. The updated firmware - with all of its updated components- was...

    amazing in wind.... how to setup the exponential

    Good advice! I flew my Mavic Air and 2 Pro for a few years before getting the Lite+. I’ve been flying it without changing any of the settings the OP mentioned (except gimbal settings), and it was quite easy to learn to fly it smoothly. I mostly fly in smooth mode.

    How to get your foot in the door with drone work

    Here’s what I did. I made a bunch of cinematic style videos, including some for nice houses in my area (rural) that friends and neighbors allowed me to film. I also took a number of real estate photos. I put all this on YouTube and Instagram and then sent letters to every real estate company...

    Your fix worked, thanks! I also let Autel know and they said it will be added to issues needing resolve in the next firmware update. Mike

    Lost Pro Mode with firmware update

    Thanks for the reply. Nice to know I’m not alone on this. So, by backing out of the app, do you mean shutting the app down while in the air and restarting? That won’t cause problems?

    Lost Pro Mode with firmware update

    Hi all, I updated the firmware on my Lite+ last week with the latest update. I seem to now have lost pro mode? Anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to go back to the previous firmware version? Thanks! Mike
