If you’re looking for an Evo 2, I would recommend Camzilla in Sydney. Prices in Oz will be higher than direct imports from the US or China, but at least you will be covered for warranty work.

Much the same in Oz.

I don’t mind replacing batteries. It’s not being able to get them that concerns me.

I’m locked into Autel’s Evo 1 timewarp at moment, so can’t say. But no new drone and no new software update runs totally smoothly. The Evo 1–imperfect as it may be—is a great bird. The Evo 2 will be a better one. But don’t expect perfection. If you are a ‘Doubting Thomas’, do yourself a favour...

Can’t speak for Evo 2, but 1.5.8 may have been the cause of battery issues on the 1.

No. I managed to acquire two batteries from an Asian dealer. If they succumb to whatever is causing the problem I’ll probably have to retire the bird.

You can of course pause or cancel RTH.

Just over 12 months—just out of warranty. I didn’t expect them to be replaced F.O.C, but Evo 1 batteries are no longer obtainable in Australia and the regional distributor could not supply any because of airline regulations about the carriage of LiPos. Autel US responded that they were ‘working...

I’ve had two similar occurrences with separate batteries.

I can live with not getting any new functionality for the Evo 1. But losing features that we had pisses me off.

Not sure whether these features are in software or firmware. But I have both Android and iOS tablets.

It would be good if they RESTORED features that were in older versions of the software but which have disappeared from the latest versions. Waypoints is an example: you used to be able to choose camera direction and what the drone would do at the end of a mission. The first has disappeared and...

There’s a couple of people on this forum who’ve got them. That’s what got me interested. The ‘puck’ type controller takes a bit of getting used to but otherwise they’re great. I was lucky enough to find a dealer who not only gave me a three day trial, but who also side-loaded the Autel app for...
