    Evo Lite+ won't take off (sometimes)

    >I have bought DJI Mavic 3 in the >meantime (which is WAY WAY better, Curious what is way way better about the mavic 3? As a flyer and the software (Dji fly is so much better than Autel sky) I believe it. But camera-wise…you think mavic 3 is better? I’ve known people that have owned both and...

    Recently acquired a like new X Star Wifi. Is it worth it to fix?

    No to all your questions. Sorry. That's a very old drone and to get it even halfway flying and camera performing again will be about the same as getting a new "entry level" dji drone. Not worth it at all. Especially when the cheapest oif the dji (new, not used) drones will take pictures that...

    Evo Lite+ or Evo 2 Pro V3

    Have had the Lite+ for 18 months now. It's got a great camera... I use it mainly for low-light stuff, but it's great once you get the firmware issues ironed out.

    A Recent Customer Service Experience with Autel

    LOL! I tell ya, I've heard that most of my life too. "You shouldn't be having this happen. No one else has this." Uh-huh.... yea. Not that this makes any difference...but lite or lite+? It sure sounds like a bad firmware. My Lite+ is always reliable and I love it. Lemme dig mine out...

    A Recent Customer Service Experience with Autel

    boatdoc, The curious thing you mention is that the drone works fine at home. You get an image transmission at home on your phone (or tablet) AND your remote connects fine to the drone.....but only while you are at home? You go outside of your home and the remote will no longer connect and you...

    A Recent Customer Service Experience with Autel

    Same here! I had to contact Autel Support 1 month after I got my Evo Lite+ last year. It was a very positive experience overall. They replied to me within 2 hours and helped me fix an operator mistake - and explained how to avoid the issue in the future. I've read a lot of negativity on this...

    Lite + night shot

    I know. Those numbers are odd. Check the ones you have shot. I'm sure they are similar. Those pics were jpg only. I have shot RAW - but honestly, I haven't gotten that much better results. On my DJI drones, I've shot raw (DNG) and only gotten slightly better results in post. That's...

    Lite + night shot

    Photo 1 aperture: 2.97 (f/2.8) exposure time (shutter): 1/4 iso: 1080 Photo 2 aperture: 2.97 (f/2.8) exposure time (shutter): .2427 iso: 886 Something else to be aware of, shooting in normal mode vs. night mode changes the resolution. Shoot Mode shoots in 5472 x 3076 Night Mode (standard)...

    Lite + night shot

    >Is there a way to get faster shutter speeds, except to go into manual mode? Based on what little I know of your situation, I think you must go in to manual (pro) mode. Once you do, try upping the aperture to F5.6. That should still get crisp photos and it will increase the shutter speed...

    Nano+ owners... after using it a while, did it live up to your expectations?

    tvwxman and ethelsnakes, Thanks so much for the response! That's the thing.... there are so many things I like about Autel and (since I already have the DJI Mini 2), I wanted to see if the Nano+ would be a better option compared to the DJI mini 3 / 4 pro. I've heard many Mini 3 and 4 pro...

    Nano+ owners... after using it a while, did it live up to your expectations?

    Hi and thank you for the response! I did notice the Lite (NOT the Lite+) has RYYB camera. Everything points to the RYYB camera to me for some reason.... Battery life is truly amazing on my Lite+....but, I'll be honest, outside of night time photography, I'm only "ok" by the video quality of...

    Nano+ owners... after using it a while, did it live up to your expectations?

    Hello! I am a happy Evo Lite+ owner, but am looking at the nano+ mainly because of the RYYB color filter array. For you Nano+ owners: did the RYYB capabilities live up to the reviews (or the hype)? My Lite+ doesn't have RYYB and I'm super curious how it looks compared to all the other drones...

    Custom painted evo pro 2 - finished and vlos tested

    Yea, but it sure sounds like you took your time - and it shows in the finished job. That looks amazing. So classy. That white and yellow really go well together. Yours looks like a level (or two) up from the decals sets you can buy for your drones. I did that and meticulously took my time...
