    Flying EVO 1 at night

    I've actually had some decent results with night photography on the EVO. The sensor is fairly noisy, so contrary to what you might otherwise think, keep the ISO as low as possible and go as long as you can on the Shutter speed. I find that anything over, IIRC, 1 sec becomes unusable due to...

    Flying EVO 1 at night

    Please cite your source for that. There is no such rule, in fact if you look at Ken Heron's video on the subject, quite the contrary, according to two FAA letters he has.

    A little Desert Exploration with the EVO.

    Thanks for the comment Butch, it was my first time trying to fly while riding (as a passenger) in a moving vehicle. Add to that, the 25mph gusts, and it was a bit challenging. :) The EVO did fine, but fine motion was a lost-cause. Anyway, the communications station was a link in the former...

    I Quit Flying Drones :( This is why!)

    Yeah, I did too, after the one where he wanted money to watch the rest of the video.

    I guess clickbait titles are his thing now, along with incomplete videos that require payment to view the conclusions.

    Why Accelerated Heights Sold his Autel Evo.

    Yep, that's what I was alluding to. :-)

    Why Accelerated Heights Sold his Autel Evo.

    Way I heard it, opinions are like something else that everyone has only one of. And that they both stink. :cool: (But have been extremely happy with my EVO and its reliability)

    Why Accelerated Heights Sold his Autel Evo.

    Agree completely, when I was initially looking for info on the EVO, I found his channel. After only a few videos I unsubscribed. He comes across as one of those who believes that he is the most knowledgeable in any crowd. Also, don't even mildly suggest that he might be incorrect in his...

    EVO Sunset Flight

    I wanted to see how the EVO did in a low-light / sunset situation. The answer was... Not bad at all, IMHO. This is a concrete tower atop a set of hills not far from me. Last time I looked, I could not find any information on the purpose of the structure. I was thinking (based on the fact that...

    St. Francis Dam Disaster Site - Los Angeles County

    Thanks Goober. It was a first for me, and thought it helped to understand the subject a bit better.

    St. Francis Dam Disaster Site - Los Angeles County

    Hi all, I'm new here and thought I'd post a recent EVO flight I did (this last weekend). Editing is not my forte, but I'm working on it. The flight was at a good distance, the target was -500 feet below my takeoff point.
