Anyone else experience the drone and controller dropping and regaining connection for no reason when the live deck is in use?

There are no category 2 UAS in existence today from anyone. The only category 3 UAS are AgEagle fixed wings. Nobody else has made anything. I doubt any quad copter will ever meet the category 3 requirements due to the catastrophic loss of control that happens when one motor fails. If you really...

Autel does not have a declaration of compliance for any of their drones to meet the requirements of any category. The declaration of compliance for RID has nothing to do with the declaration of compliance for flight over people categories. So, no you cannot lawfully use any Autel drone in a...

Anyone know or experience if the Evo2 takes any action or provides any warnings when the battery temperature exceeds XX degrees in flight? I noticed one of mine was 138F when I landed which got me wondering.

They're a Chinese retailer. The domain name tricks people into thinking it's the official Autel Robotics site all the time. Nothing new.

There is no way to stream from the app directly to a client app like a web browser, VLC, etc. That's not how that works. You can only stream to a server listening for the connection. For example, you can stream from the app to YouTube live or Facebook live on your accounts, with the URLs you...

I'm not going to repeat what I already said, which answers your points. Nor am I going to debate the merits (or lack of) to your outlandish hypothetical scenarios.

Reiterating: I do not believe they should be banned from the consumer market. No. They definitely don't have to do that. I don't think I need to explain in detail the threat level difference between a coffee maker and a high definition flying camera with GPS. It may or may not send everything...

Nope. It's definitely about the CCP and their million man army working 24/7 on industrial and government espionage against the USA, utilizing companies they control such as DJI. The US government didn't ban Huawei and ZTE because the politicians hate cell phones. These companies have direct...

This bill has been getting brought up in the house for years so this is hardly"new". It's just the 2024 version. This bill dies with no action every year. There is no substantial support for this anywhere in Congress and expect it to die with no action again this year. It does make for great...

The AMA was that organization, which has basically become irrelevant because the government can and will make any regulations they want. They don't care what a hobby organization thinks and they made that very clear. The lobbyists for the industry are the only ones heard.

Problem is that post is from 4yrs ago...

It could be a for advisory purposes to illustrate where you shouldn't fly or where you should be careful. Or it could be even more things for me to say "I told you so" about :). But typical Autel, no documentation explaining it?

And there it is.

That new firmware is only for v3 aircraft and v3 smart controllers. Nothing for standard controllers, and nothing for v1 and v2. The Autel Explorer android app is completely gone from the Google Play Store. I don't have an Apple device to see what they screwed up on there. The Autel Explorer app...
