    Is There a Way to Program a Waypoints Mission Flying Backwards

    I have a project where the art director wants the exact same flight path in midday and at the end of the day. He wants a pull back flight, flying away from the scene. He plans to fade from midday to end of day in the final video. Flying forward and reversing the footage is not a good option as...

    Autel Evo 2 Pro 6k Flyaway

    A1: Thanks for this tip. Have not calibrated the remote unless asked by it to do so. How often or under what circumstances do you recommend calibrating the controller? A2: Flying with an iPad Mini 5th Generation with cellular connection. The LifThor Mjølnir EVO Tablet Holder is a great...

    Autel Evo 2 Pro 6k Flyaway

    Since I made the original post, I have performed 2 tests flights of the Autel drone. It operated normally on a Manual flight and on an automated flight. Since those flights I have taken Geo Dome SRL's advice and calibrated the controller and its sticks. Thanks for that tip. The drone took off...

    Autel Evo 2 Pro 6k Flyaway

    I have an Autel Evo 2 Pro 6k. On 11/16/21 I was flying it in the suburbs of Philadelphia. About 10 minutes into the flight, it wouldn’t respond to the controls. It drifted and then I invoked Return to Home. It started flying straight back to Home. Once it got about 300 feet from Home, I...

    Why Are Date and Time Not Correct for Video Files on my Mac?

    I have an Autel Evo 2 Pro 6k. When I shoot video and then download the files using Adobe Lightroom, the video files end up with a date/time stamp that is 1/1/04 12:00AM. The same happened when copying the video file in Mac Finder. It's useful to me to know the date and time of video files that...

    Cold Temperature Flying for Evo 2 Pro 6k

    I am looking at doing a flight tomorrow where the temperature is likely to be 25 degrees F. with 20mph winds. Will the Evo 2 Pro 6k operate in 25 degrees? I know to keep the battery warm before the flight.

    What are the highest wind/gusts speeds that makes sense to fly in?

    I have an upcoming assignment to photograph a large suburban apartment complex with my Autel Evo 2 Pro 6k drone. Winds are predicted to be about 20mph with gusts up to 30mph. What are the highest wind/gusts speeds that makes sense to fly in?

    Trying to Decide - Mavic 2 Pro or Autel Evo 2 Pro - Camera Quality

    I just purchased an Evo 2 Pro 6k. I've been flying a DJI Phantom 4 Pro v2. I've been flying drones professionally since the summer of 2015. I bought the Evo 2 because I have a long term project doing 107 flights close to a major Class B airport. I can get FAA permission for my flights using the...

    Return to Home Function Different from DJI Phantom 4

    I recently bought an Autel Evo 2 Pro 6k. I've flown 6 times, and so far I'm pretty happy with it. I have been flying a DJI Phantom 4 v2 Pro for about 4 years. One thing I noticed with the Evo 2 is that the Return to Home function kicked in and started flying the drone back to its take off spot...
