    Left joystick failure

    I never heard back from Autel! I’m bummed as they’re usually very responsive. I couldn’t wait, so I ended up opening the remote and using a small bit of high strength hot glue to secure the joystick. Seems to be working, but I’m sure I’ve invalidated any warranty that may exist.

    Left joystick failure

    Hi fellas, long time no talk. I went to fly my bird the other day and when I tried to initiate the rotors the left joystick popped loose and dropped partially inside the remote. It looks like the cradle that holds the joystick popped loose from the inside of the remote body. Has anyone else had...

    Another review of Autel EVO 2 Series Drone 48MP 8K

    Yup, this feature alone may be why I migrate to Skydio. The earth is not flat…

    Dynamic Tracking

    Hi Guys, I'm planning to use the dynamic tracking in parallel mode to follow my mtn bike and I on some local single track. I've watched the Autel video tutorial but it didn't answer one important question: will the aircraft maintain the set distance in both the horizontal and the vertical? In...

    motor cannot start occasionally

    When I first got my EVO I was having a problem similar to yours... the motors would only activate 50% of the time. It was user error as I wasn't giving the correct input to the sticks. As Ansia mentioned, place the aircraft on a firm, flat surface in a safe flying environment. Next, press both...

    EVO drifting in Forward flight

    I have a similar issue. When given forward input, the aircraft flies in a fairly straight line, but at a somewhat sideways angle and seems to deviate course even in the absence of wind. Recal performed.

    Maximum descent speed

    Hi all. Wondering if there’s a setting to increase maximum descent speed? I currently max out at +/- 7 mph. I’d like to speed it up a bit if possible/safe.

    Shaky gimbal

    I agree, communication is huge.

    Shaky gimbal

    They fixed my drone at no cost to me, they were totally courteous, they were prompt (in my opinion)… generally speaking they met all of my expectations. If you think they could improve on something maybe you should let them know. Based on my interactions with Autel, I’m sure they’d be happy to...

    Shaky gimbal

    I’ve had great experiences with Autel. It took about a week to hear from them, and for me that’s understandable. I figure they have an existing queue and then they need to troubleshoot. 2 weeks turnaround was a bit long, but they totally took care of me. I’m sure they’ll get you taken care of too.

    Shaky gimbal

    I had the same issue. I sent video footage to Autel for review and they had me send in the aircraft. There was an issue with the gimbal and they replaced the entire assembly under warranty. Fantastic customer service. The only drawback was not having my drone for 2 weeks.

    Best way to record live Explorer screen?

    Sweet! I thought it was an option, but it’s one of those things that’s buried way down on my list and I hadn’t gotten around to asking the almighty googles yet. Thanks!

    Best way to record live Explorer screen?

    I’m curious about this as well. Any iOS solutions?

    Today my EVO had a mind of its own

    Interesting. There is a cell tower only a few hundred feet from where this happened. I wonder if that's what it was? Thanks for the insight Fly-a-holic.

    Unstable Gimbal / Video

    I was just about to inquire with Autel about the same thing. My EVO gimbal has been very stable until the latest firmware upgrade. Video and FPV now rock/vibrate side to side and up and down. I hovered the aircraft at eye level and could clearly see the gimbal moving up and down rapidly. Gimbal...
