    New vendor saying hi!

    I will have to say that Luke from Coverdrones is a standup guy. I just recently purchased my second drone( Autel Evo 2) through him and he is my go to guy for drones and antennas. He also set me up with the Titan antenna system and booster for my Mavics and Evo 1 and did the mods for me. All of...

    Using the App Evo 2 . Screen freezes up for 2 to 20 sec

    Thanks and I was wondering myself if that could be an issue. It has been over 100 degrees here almost every day and it did happen after using for a while out in the heat. Not much relief in sight from the heat till maybe next week. I will wait till then to try again when its a little cooler.

    Well, besides finding out about the combine roast....

    Hey Flip, I know what you mean about using the cell phone. Im 61 and even with glasses on its hard to see. I just tried my 10inch Ipad I use at work to fly the EVO 2 and it really works well. I had ordered the Liftthor tablet holder about 2 months ago and just got it yesterday which enabled me...

    Using the App Evo 2 . Screen freezes up for 2 to 20 sec

    Thanks for the info about using just the controller as I never thought about that. I just flew again using my 10 inch Ipad from work and had no problems. Then I used my Note 9 phone with version 1.1.5.3 and it worked fine also. I used both for several minutes trying to duplicate the freezing...

    Signal Strength Suggestions? I bought 2 Evo 2 drones both have very short range.

    I just returned off vacation and had great results in the texas hill country with the range. I went out as far as I dared and had no issues and never lost connection. Overall was really impressed but of course back at home still not so good. Just way to much interferance I guess.

    Using the App Evo 2 . Screen freezes up for 2 to 20 sec

    I am having the screen freezing issues when using my IPad Mini 4. It never does it when first starting up but starts to happen after like 5 or 10 minutes. There is severe lag and screen will freeze up and eventually get all scrambled up where you cant see anything. I tried changing just about...

    Signal Strength Suggestions? I bought 2 Evo 2 drones both have very short range.

    I received my EVO 2 a few weeks ago and only did a short test flight which it did fine. After reading these posts about the short range I took it out and tried a couple more flights. I also got out to like 1600ft and the signal was gone and got a RTH which I cancelled once it got closer. I sent...

    coaching evo

    I have also ran into that problem trying to bind 2nd remote. Watched video on how to do also over and over and it still never connected. Finally gave up and put it away.

    Battery life in the EVO

    I am on my 3rd battery failure. Two of them were replaced while under warranty but this last one was to far out of warranty. I got a Bad Battery warning so I sent screen shots to Autel of warning and serial number. This last battery had been charged 29 times when it failed.This time all they...

    evo battery problem

    This is my post from 1-3-19 when I lost my EVO due to this problem. Autel said it was pilot error due to the fact that I took off not fully charged at 100% and even though it was near 100% it is not recommended. My EVO was never found but after several weeks Autel did replace with a new EVO...

    Battery question

    I agree .....I didn't understand the reason but said OK . At first they were not going to warranty it as the tech said I took off without it being fully charged so it was my screw up After a couple of weeks they did decide to warranty it which I am grateful for. The other day I just had put...

    Battery question

    I have taken off with less than 100% percent and lost my Evo which I posted on here back in January. I had 3 full lights and the fourth flashing so thought it was OK to take off again but apparently it wasn't. It was out at some distance and already returning home when the battery level dropped...

    Aftermarket cases?

    I got my hard case from Carolina Dronz which is where I bought the EVO. Just looked and only see it listed under the EVO bundle offer which is sold out for now. Dont know why they are not offering it anymore separately as it is an excellent case.

    My EVO is gone !!

    Well got great news today..my new EVO is on its way !!! The nice folks at Autel apologized for taking so long to respond and said CES had set them back more that they thought it would. He once again let me know to never fly without the battery being fully charged even when just barely depleted...
