    Lost Evo 2 pro 6K drone

    Seems like a must have, not an optional accessory. Have you ever had to put it to the test in an actual loss situation?

    Freewell Filters for EVO II are here!

    I see that B&H now has a couple of ND filters (namely 32 and 64) for the Evo II 6K Pro in stock. Not yet in stock are the ND/PL filters. In your experience (and opinion perhaps,) how much benefit is realized by use of the combined ND/PL filter as compared w/ just an ND filter? Is there any...

    How many of us have lost their Autel drones?

    What happens when a drone gets ingested by an aircraft engine, FAA ready to conduct live test

    EVO II ND filters

    I tried to order from the Freewell site, but I was directed to Amazon. I will wait until they become available from B&H since they have a loop hole to avoid paying state tax, and their S&H is free.
