It was worth a try, right?

Seriously: Imagine if us Evo 1 people could go back in time and get a Mavic 2 Pro for only a few hundred more dollars instead of the Evo 1? We'd still have an awesome, full-frame, 20mp Hassel-freaking-blad sensor-equipped, technically supported, and still at the top of its class drone instead...

Nooooooooooo!!!!! Don't get one!!! Money MUCH MUCH MUCH better spent on a DJI Mini 2. Cheaper, newer, same camera basically, <249g. Seriously, you will be throwing your money away on an Evo 1. Even if you find some brand-new in box one on eBay for $400, you would be better off to spend that...

So I looked and now the Autel Robotics website doesn't even list the Evo 1 under the support area for info -- or anywhere else except for a few old accessories. It's just like Marty McFly when his dad, George, almost didn't kiss his mom at the 1955 Under the Sea dance! Erased... from...

They'll do it right after they enable the "A" and "B" programmable buttons on the rear of my Evo I controller! I can't wait! They promised they would enable them. I just know they will! I can't wait. So excited about the impending programmable button enabalation!

Even China has better things to do than watch my drone footage of neighborhood homes. And if they want to watch it, who cares? Obviously the military and agencies dealing with secret material would (and do) need to make sure there are safeguards, but 99.999% of users are not in that boat. As far...

It would have been great if they had made it like a mini-Inspire 2 with lots of different cameras... or at least more than three... or, effectively, two, if you get the Evo 2 Pro. It's like: "Hi, welcome to your Evo II pro where you can choose cameras!" says Alejandro from Autel with a big grin...

Hi. Does anyone else have this issue and/or know how to fix it? I plan a mission and name it something when I save it. On the missions page it shows up under it's large thumbnail map. So far so good. THEN... after I fly the mission, it automatically changes the mission's name to "New Mission...

I am planning on gluing four together to make a decahexakiscopter! Then tying it to my head and flying like Superman! Just curious about its inner workings more than anything. Also tempted (once one of my battery packs truly does die) to *very, very carefully* open it and see if I can replace...

Anyone have any ideas how to get Autel technical (repair) manuals for the Evo 1? Would be nice to have if we are on our own now without Autel support.

Yeah. Sorry man. It's a shame. It's a good drone! Pick up a used battery or two and just keep flying i guess until you can't get any more viable batteries. I wish there was a drone (consumer) that took lipo batteries like I use in my RC planes. Cheap, plentiful, and non-proprietary. Anyone ever...

I might be wrong about this, but I believe Autel is also now on the geofencing bandwagon. I can totally understand geofencing from a safety to manned aviation feature, but how they (DJI, Autel, whoever) incorporate it is horrible when they have planes crashing themselves in the ocean and landing...

Yes! This morning! What the heck!? Getting a freaking iphone. Never have issues when attached to my iPad or ancient iphone 5s that is no longer connected to cell service. Totally messed up this morning's flying!

YES!!!

Seriously: Amen!
