    Beware Buyers - Autel’s End of Life (EOL) Product Realities

    My EVO II was lost by FedEx after the repair of my gimbal. They filled an insurance claim, however; when I asked about upgrading the Evo 2 they said that they had zero in stock. But there would be other options.

    Do not buy Autel -fine print will leave you out in the cold

    I have a history with autel customer support and a single drone. I had purchased their replacement package in case anything ever happened. I was having issues with a weak video link and since it was within 90 days and under warranty I returned it expecting to have it either repaired or...

    Where is the drone manual for EVO ll? Drone does a faceplant from the ground

    This is exactly what occurred. After reaching out to support at Autel and sending them photographs they showed me how the blades have these White markings on them. I did review the manual and found that there is no information in the regarding that
