nice video and thanks for sharing. what lights are you using? I have posted earlier with pics of my FoxFury lights...5 of them and they are ridiculously bright! Totally pointless and brilliant at the same time, I am now officially a drone geek!

Yes a good point, would be even better with the choice of white, green and red lighting.

Well if money is no issue then the FoxFury lights in my opinion are a great option. The strap that they mount to allows many different positions and configurations. I went overboard and have 5 lights - I flew it last night and I could easily see it miles away. Have attached a few photos I took...

Thank you a great suggestion which answers my question, I have found that there are topo maps available online. Another poster has suggested google earth which I will also try later - not quite sure where in google earth I can find this info.

Yep we are getting close with days now hopefully, the wait so far seems like an eternity to me….hope this 1k remote delivers what it promises!

Was it you who told the forum your SC has been shipped to you and why now it appears not to be the case? I’m not having a go in the slightest, just wondering what the status is now?

Thanks for sharing , I am currently looking for a head set that uses my iPhone 11 Pro Max Screen as the main view. I’ve had enough trying to view the Autel app on my iPad or iPhone with the sun beating down on me and the image being almost unviewable. I tried to search for the above movie max...

Update on SC arriving. Got an email from Autel's CEO today in response to an email I sent him: "Hey Steve, Sorry again I don't get back right away. These Smart Controllers could be docked late this week or early next week and then sent to the dealer network. I'm trying to get better clarity...

Well I must admit it was good to get 3 email replies from the CEO who I wrote to. His latest email to me said: "Apologies that I am not right on top of this, but I spent all day Thursday and Friday in one-on-ones with my new team. The v2 version of the Smart Controller will only have a...

It must have the capability to measure it's altitude as how would it calculate its height above the take off point otherwise, that would be a pretty useless drone! I guess my question is quite straightforward......does the Evo 2 calculate its height above changing ground elevations such as a...

sounds like a good plan, I'm going to get my upfront payment back too - there is no point waiting any longer, Autel have given me zero confidence in them and I am pretty confident that the mavic 3 will be an impressive drone - my only concern is the extent of geofencing they introduce!

Thank you, would be good to get other opinions, I always fly in AGL, so is MSL likely to fix this? I have read somewhere in this forum that it displays height above take off point only, is this true?

I flew a mission earlier this evening with numerous waypoints. I set the altitude to 180 feet for all waypoint and return to home set also at 180 feet to keep everything consistent. The problem was by time it got to one of the furthest away waypoints it was only circa 50-80 feet above actual...

Thank you for the informative post, much appreciated.

I get where you are coming from. But for me yes it is my personal decision whether to buy both controllers or not. However my point being we should not be placed in this rip off scenario in the first place which includes being told months after paying full price for a preorder that it wont be...
