Dear BRad56 - I am a professional videographer who uses ND filters religiously on my camcorders during the brightest part of the day. They're vital or two of my cameras because without them they'd overexpose the video. However when I used them on my Evo I saw no benefit whatsoever. My 4k 60 fps...

Sorry I don't have the solution. Just the comment that my Evo 1 flew perfectly for 6 whole months without a phone, which is exactly why I bought it. (But don't forget your reading glasses!).

Hello from La Quinta, in the Southern California desert. I've had ups and downs with my Evo 1 but after a year I'm shocked at all the marvelous footage we've captured. Check out the aerials we captured for a documentary about geothermal power...

Amazing. The clips look like establishing shots from a major motion picture.

I live near open desert and thank god that there's no one around to aggravate me!

Sometimes my gimbal faces towards the left, even tho it's not supposed to turn horizontally. I ALWAYS calibrate my compass every time I launch from a new location

Thanks for your highly-detailed reasoning. I ended up at the same conclusion but in a much different way... the freewell ND filter I was using absolutely wrecked the color balance of my videos!

Sir, I'm tremendously impressed with my (old) Evo's TV quality video and it's just 4k 60p. Except for your ability to crop in post, there's no other reason to film above 4K. However I think it's very important to film at 60 p, because it produces a super-smooth video. Example:

Sir, the photos and videos are saved on a removable micro SD card. On my Evo (1) it's on the right hand side.

Nice video, congratulations. I suggest slowly lowering the gimbal angle so there's less sky. The general rule is one-third sky, two-thirds ground. Audio has to be edited in during post production. In this case I'd suggest using the recorder in your phone to capture street noise, then export that...

Thanks so much for this highly-detailed assesment. I am planning on buying an Evo II Pro and this information is important to know. - Robert

Hi Bravo Pet. I had nearly the same kind of accident the third time I flew my Evo 1, back in October 2020. It self-landed on a rocky hill and damaged a motor mount. Cost me $170 to have it repaired at Autel's facility in Washington state. Two new problems arose after it returned but I decided...

I have the same problem with my Evo 1. The front left motor only starts about 30% of the time. But it'll eventually work and will keep running for the entire flight. This has been going on for a month now and it's getting worse. I plan to ship it back for repair because I also have a "spastic...

That's a fabulous image, very inspiring and great to know it's something we can do. Thanks for sharing it!

I agree about having to wrestle with my gimble cover. It never wants to snap into place, or come off, afterward.
