    EVO II joystick inputs change during flight

    Ours in the office is definitely acting up again as well, roughly a year after the controller was replaced (which in turn happened just under a year after it was originally purchased). I had some concerns that our first controller was having issues because of some prior overheating trouble but...

    EVO II joystick inputs change during flight

    Sounds very similar to my first go-around with them. None of that worked for me either, thankfully last time the shipping was free under warranty. Probably a little cheaper for them without all the overseas transit and international borders to cross. I didn't make any attempt at cracking the...

    Bizarre issue with Smart Controller?

    Longer term follow-up: Autel sent us out an entirely new smart controller under warranty which got rid of the issue. We were just about at the end of the warranty period so the timing on it was pretty helpful. The replacement controller worked just fine up until about a week ago when I caught...

    EVO II joystick inputs change during flight

    I had to send our company Evo II Pro V3 in for warranty service about a year ago for a similar issue - sometimes when I'd be moving the drone left or right it would climb or descend as well. Less frequently when trying to move foward or backward it would randomly turn left or right, so basically...

    Bizarre issue with Smart Controller?

    Bringing this back from the dead, the issue returned after it came back from service and I was able to get a video and send it to them this time. I was also able to narrow it down to a controller problem by borrowing our second Evo and pairing our controller to their drone and vice versa - the...

    Bizarre issue with Smart Controller?

    The thought had occurred to me, yeah. If it happens again I'll probably rope a co-worker in to get a video of me one-handing it so there's no possibility of "oh you just held the other stick down" and they can see the on-screen height dropping/rising along with watching the drone in the...

    Bizarre issue with Smart Controller?

    No worries, hope it helps! I haven't looked into the Lite series to provide much useful comment, but it seems like the Nanos were kind of panned as being not so great compared to the sub-250g DJIs. Outside of company use, I try to stick to sub-250g drones to avoid all the registration and RID...

    Bizarre issue with Smart Controller?

    No worries! I've seen some horror stories around here but aside from them making us pay for shipping I don't have any particular complaints about their customer service process. To your other question, I don't really use anything for work except for waypoint/rectangular/polygon missions, but I...

    Bizarre issue with Smart Controller?

    Drone went back to Autel, who told me they didn't find anything wrong with it. When it got back I gave it a 20-minute test and wasn't able to reproduce the issue, but I noticed it did some erratic things again yesterday when I briefly put it in the air. Time will tell - hopefully before the...

    Smart Controller issues

    I had posted something about this in the V3 subforum but wanted to open it up to a wider audience to see if there's any history of this - I've been flying an Evo 2 Pro V3 for about 9 months now for my company, and on the last outing it started acting like it was getting its signals mixed up -...

    Bizarre issue with Smart Controller?

    Yeah, I tried calibrating the joysticks, no luck. I think the only thing left that I can try is if there's some kind of factory reset procedure for the controller - otherwise it seems like it has to be an issue with the physical device and not anything in the software.

    Bizarre issue with Smart Controller?

    I've been flying an Evo II Pro V3 in a commercial capacity for about nine months now without any trouble, but this last week it picked up a really bizarre issue where it would randomly drop about 10' when I'd try to move right with no other control input. I could catch it and get it to hold...
