Hey guys, I've flown my evo a few times now. It does fly really well and the video looks pretty good other than some stuttering at times and my horizon being off. I'm pretty good about making sure my EVO batteries and the remote are recharged immediately, the issue I've running into is that my...

Little update, Autel fixed my EVO sensor cover. For that I'm appreciative, but then they said their was no issue with the fitment or the force required to remove it. Which is a blatant lie (measurements and pictures above) and probably directed at keeping people with similar issues from sending...

I ran down to the metrology lab after work quick today and took some measurements before I shipped it out. My suspicions were confirmed. The space between the drone body and the catch for the latch is 1.265". The battery height at the latch with the button depressed is 1.250". This results in...

I just realized you meant flatten it back 5mm. Yes, that would probably work in my case. I thought you meant remove 5mm of height which would probably put you in the lithium ion cells.

Little update, Autel is going to inspect the drone and the batteries. I'll box it up and drop it off at fedex on my way home tonight.

They don't feel swollen to me at all.

The screws don't really need to be countersunk if they're positioned correctly.

It has not been resolved yet. I just asked them about it this week. They said "It's something they're looking into".

5mm is a lot. That's .19". I think half the height of that rib could be removed. Then again, over time the batteries will just wear in. It sounds like this issue isn't on all Evo Drones. I'm wondering the screws on on my drone and the others that have commented on this thread aren't fully...

I saw that this morning. Yeah, that's not a product I'm going to buy. The autopilot looks to be relatively binary as well most of the time so the footage just looks weird. I figured out where the issue lies with my drone. Autel has eight screws under the battery holding the drone together. The...

I wouldn't say it's a bad product. For the money you can't touch the features. It's just rough around the edges, especially in this area. I didn't even know of Autel until I ran across the sale. Once I did some research I decided to give it a shot. I was going to buy a Mavic Mini, but I didn't...

I'm not recommending to file the latch on a good battery in working order. I just suggested that if somebody had an old dead battery lying around they could try it to see if it made a difference. But this leads to another issue. Autel said I can't send the battery in with the drone even if I...

So, I just sent my information to Autel for the RMA I went to pull the battery off the drone. Again. The battery would not budge. I thought it was getting better, but it's just as bad as when I first got it. I also gripped in different locations and with different pressures. Again it took a ton...

That's exactly how I had mine gripped when I removed my battery. I was sliding backward as well, not up.

Hey Guys, New Autel owner here, although that might change shortly. I found this thread after having an incident with my new drone. I received my new Evo on Friday. I unpacked the drone, looked through the manual, removed the plastic and tried taking the battery out to charge it. The...
