You just have to register the Dronetag, I've been told you can hop it around to different aircraft. Just FYI.

Thanks for the clarification. Yeah I'm sure they "thought" it would be cheaper as they were going to the stock market... We ordered our RID back in July when the supplier let us know they were already on backorder to just about the deadline date. Sounds like they won't meet their predicted...

This is my understanding as well, that only in Europe you have to broadcast your location the FAA does not have this requirement as of yet. There is an RID module out there but they are backordered as of now (Dronetag). When did the enforcement after December come about, I had heard there was...

This has been my experience too.

If it's the enterprise drone and the IMU calibration doesn't work, look into getting a new gimble, they should be swappable on the enterprise version. If cost is the issue you could just go with the 1-inch 6k camera; however, I'm not sure if the different versions matter but I bet someone at...

From what I've heard it'll be a small dongle that will go into the drone's usb port but I suspect it'll be more like Drone Tag's remote ID module that is already being sold.

Red usually means it has failed, are you sure it said normal and that you were looking at the correct column? Did you check that the RTK had a fix? Also, when calibrating you have to make sure you're away from metal structures, I had a chain linked fence and rebar give me issues during a...

I emailed Autel before buying a drone earlier this year and they said they intended to update the Evo II Enterprise (only) to remote ID compliant as long as the enterprise had the required hardware. This was before the Remote ID rule was finalized. At a minimum they said there will be a module...

Our Evo Pro II v.2 controller works great. Resolution is fine and only a slight lag that is pretty comparable to my mini 2. Maybe check your firmware and update?

Double cross hatch would likely help. You may also consider flying nadir and a cross hatch with a slightly tilted camera (5 degrees off of nadir) to help the program figure out the corners better, I believe in Pix4D you'll need to switch some settings to do this better though.

First fly a hatch in nadir then fly a 20 degree offset hatch with an 85 degree camera pitch for camera lens calibration and accuracy. A handful of physical control points will also help. Make sure your client knows the difference between a model and an orthophoto as well. If they want a model...

Yeah it seemed like the RTK not being ready and having a few blades of grass touching the gimbal was what was giving me headaches originally. As long as everything was ready to go it allowed the mission download, which is strange being that says it does the check after the mission download but...

So I was able to get out yesterday for a good while and troubleshoot the issue based on a hunch I had about the RTK. Looks like the RTK not being ready after I swapped the battery was part of the issue for me. To get around this, I went back to the Autel home screen before I rebooted the Evo2...

So I was out test flying the our new Evo II Enterprise (with RTK unit) and seeing how the mission planning functions and how it does battery swapping but I keep getting the "mission failed to upload". I turned the drone off and on, reconnected to the RTK network and it uploaded but when it came...
