    Nice. Is that a Divinci Resolve edit?

    Headless / Smart mode coming soon?

    Flying with camera facing the front of the locomotive would be flying in reverse. Except when Headless is enabled then its flying forward....except the drone doesn't know its rotated 180. So much easier to fly when weird situations are encountered.

    Headless / Smart mode coming soon?

    mmm... Don't know if you quite understand the "headless" mode. When "headless" mode is enabled drone controls are as they should be. Except the drone can be orientated any way....if its side ways the controls fly it sideways only its forward stick as you would do normal. I need to make a...

    Headless / Smart mode coming soon?

    Yep. Bigboy it is. A fly in front camera facing engine when Its departing would be nice. Smart mode or whatever you want to call it would be great. I think I'll take my q500 instead. Rick

    Headless / Smart mode coming soon?

    Coming from the Yuneec Typhoon q5004k the one feature I wish the Evo had is the "headless" mode. Simply its no matter what the orientation of the drone the controls are as normal. Forward is Forward etc.... even if the drone is reversed or at another angle. For instance I need to video a...

    Autel Customer Service - My experience....

    My crash battery has a scuff on it. Just flew 2 batteries and including the RTH time remaining I got right at 28 minutes on both. So no battery issue with mine. My only wish on the EVO is a better designed gimble cover. It's hard to make it click on without fumbling. Today I was messing...

    Autel Customer Service - My experience....

    Crashed my EVO - Emailed them for a RMA and they responded with a prepaid Fed-X label within hours. Sent to Autel on 9-11 and had it back 10-2. They replaced the camera and gimble and charged me $230. 22 days repair time and they paid shipping both ways seemed pretty fair. I didn't heed the...

    10 Days of EVO

    I suggest you keep the EVO for a few weeks and familiarize yourself with its features.. I've got a P4, Q5004k and EVO. My EVO is the most advanced....however there is a learning curve. Autel really did a great job with features and their menus are well planned. And best of all the EVO...

    Little Rubber Dampers on camera gimble ?

    I got a repair ticket going with Autel. Hopefully its something simple and won't take too long. Rick

    Little Rubber Dampers on camera gimble ?

    Figured it out. I used some pointed tweezers. However the camera won't initialize....so I just called Autel and got a repair ticket started. Hope it doesn't cost too much. It was a hard landing and popped 2 of the grommets out of the camera gimble.

    Little Rubber Dampers on camera gimble ?

    Any one know how to re attach the rubber grommets that hold the camera on? I had a hard landing and 2 of the grommets popped out. Advice appreciated. Rick
