    Does Autel Evo 2 still need to be unbound from the Smart Controller?

    Thanks. It wasn't clear. I know a few places in the forums people we claiming it had to be unbound. When I asked Autel they also said it had to be unbound via tech support. However this morning tech support said it doesn't have to be unbound. So at least you and Tech support agree. Thanks again.

    Evo 2 Pro suicides itself into a tree...

    I can tell you that if there ever is a bug...Autel will make you pay for it. I was forced to pay because they claimed the bug was from me not updating the drone for 9 months. I hate updates because they always introduce new bugs. And if its working fine...I generally don't want to mess with it...

    Evo 2 Pro suicides itself into a tree...

    There is no option to tell the drone to hover if there is a signal loss. I have checked and have asked Autel. It is not a feature. This IS a feature on DJI drones and it is sorely needed on Autel. If a pilot is only 10 to 30 feet from a drone and there is a communication hiccup that is due to...

    Does Autel Evo 2 still need to be unbound from the Smart Controller?

    I'm selling my evo 2 pro and I wanted to wipe the Smart Controller to factory settings. However I'm concerned it might delete everything including the app itself. I know it s an android tablet but but will it completely wipe it to where I will need to reinstall the app manually? Also, and this...

    Evo 2 Pro suicides itself into a tree...

    You make it sound as though this is an issue I run into all the time. Lol. I've only had this drone do this...and many MANY other issues. Please explain to me where Autel or even DJI claim their drone use is not for low flying usage? I'm really curious

    Updated app on smart controller crashing

    It stopped for me for now. However I'm just tired of all the quirks with this drone. Been flying them for over 8 years and I really want to love this drone but I can't. From bugs and glitches to unreliable flight paths when shooting video. Over sensitive obstacle avoidance system to where I fly...

    Autel EVO 2 motors would not shut down after landing, it then attempted to take off.

    I just had this done to me on the latest update. It wouldn't obey manual shut off with the left stick down not full shutoff with both stick down and in. I literally had to hold it down and I tried to power off the battery and it would not shut off. I had to pull it instead to stop it. THIS is...

    Updated app on smart controller crashing

    I'm curious if anyone else out there is experiencing crashes with the new updated app for the smart controller. Everything is completely up to date on current updates and while flying today, I had the app on the smart controller crash seven times in half a battery use. That's ridiculous. Has...

    Evo 2 Pro suicides itself into a tree...

    Received the bird back from repairs. No info on why it flew away. I have asked again in an email and I'll update once/if I hear back. As far as flying after making sure everything is up to date...it handles a bit odd. First I had to completely change all of the EXP and Sensitive flight settings...

    Evo II Enterprise Flyaway

    it was flown in manual. They still would not cover it because firmware was not fully updated to the most current firmware at that time. When asked why the issue took place and if the current firmware protected against this...there was no response. So I'm doubtful I'll get a response other than...

    Evo 2 Pro suicides itself into a tree...

    So as an update...I haven't been told as to what happened with the drone. Emails have been ignored other than the invoice for repair that was sent which was for 2 arms and the black internal housing. I'm not too hopeful though on getting answers as the last question I had in regards to updates...

    Evo 2 Pro suicides itself into a tree...

    That's what I'm currently working on with them. I'm sending it Monday and fairly confident it will be expensive to repair. I'm not sure what took place due to the above stated parameters but that's what I felt happened. It is odd though that it showed still connected and the video feed connected...

    Evo 2 Pro suicides itself into a tree...

    I have never seen issues from launching on concrete. Matter of fact the first time something like this happened there was no concrete. Secondly if it were a RTH due to compass calibration issues then the drone would NOT refuse inputs. I have seen issues similar with compass calibration issues...

    Evo 2 Pro suicides itself into a tree...

    I have been doing this type of Photography and videography for almost 8 years. Many of the places where I photograph are around trees. I've had this happen twice in 2 drones and it's a glitch of some sort. I've had the drone RTH before and I still could control it. This ignored ALL commands and...

    Evo 2 Pro suicides itself into a tree...

    After looking at the flight records I can see the Evo 2 did the EXACT same thing the dji mavic air did years ago. It confused itself to be somewhere else. Look at the flight record map. It assumed I was off the coast of Africa...and looking at the home I was at...that is the direction the drone...
