    *Update* Found 2 new Evo 2 specific external load release systems

    So we have received and tested both of the drop systems mentioned a few posts above this line. We found this one the better of the two, as it releases heavier (one pound) loads more reliably and fits snugly against the bottom of our EVO II 640T. We have tested "drop bags" with various items...

    Landing/shutdown issue with EVO II using Exolander payload system with searchlight

    Good afternoon. Received our FoxFury Exolander system today and did some testing/training with the payload drop system (works great) and with the searchlight that comes with the kit (D100 drone spotlight.) Flew great even with all the weight of the light/batteries, but when landing, would not...

    Evo 2 Pro suicides itself into a tree...

    I can tell you that GPS coordinates 0,0 are just off the coast of Africa (A spot called Null Island, off the coast of Guinea). Exactly where your drone was headed. I use Skyebrowse for 3D mapping, and some of my videos haven't had a decodable .*** file (the GPS location files) attached for...

    Smart Orbit pauses for no apparent reason (EVO II v2 640T)

    Hi folks. Was training a new pilot today on our Fire Department's 640T (v2) and had him doing some smart orbits, which we use for overwatch of structure fires. Noticed that every time, the EVO II would randomly stop orbiting. I did see a couple of ADSB-In "Aircraft approaching" warnings about...

    Anybody making/sellling Prop Guards for the Enterprise (v2)?

    Need somebody to 3D print some prop guards for the EVO II Enterprise. The standard EVO 2 guards don't fit, as the Enterprise has carbon fiber arms that are shaped differently from the earlier models. Can't find anything online except for the originals (which our seller included as a "bonus"...

    Prop Guard

    The EVO 2 prop guards do NOT work on the Enterprise. The carbon fiber arms are differently shaped and the prop guards that our seller included as a "bonus" do not fit. They also included extra props that also fit only the v1 model, as the Enterprise has larger props than its predecessor.

    Help! EVO II stopped responding to controller, hovered, then fell HARD.

    As a follow-up, all flight logs were uploaded and permissions given to Autel Tech Support to view/study files. They concluded that the aircraft had an issue and replaced the unit under warranty. Again, the EVO II never attempted to land "due to low battery"....it simply hovered for an extended...

    Help! EVO II stopped responding to controller, hovered, then fell HARD.

    I was too nervous to shut down the smart controller for fear of a flyaway, since it was acting so strangely. The avoidance should never stop all joystick movement, just in the direction of any obstacle. It wasn't battery charge, as the flight log still shows 23% when it flew straight down. I...

    Help! EVO II stopped responding to controller, hovered, then fell HARD.

    Good afternoon, everybody. I work for a fire department, and we recently took delivery of the EVO II Enterprise. I've taken it out for a couple test flights (I am a Part 107 pilot and fly my own Parrot Anafi regularly.) Did some flight tests today, up to 400', photos, video, then a "Smart...
