    Bad range with my Autel Evo

    Thank you - I was just wanting to clarify for anyone following -- this was the same Evo part number we all have in our hands. So I just wanted to make sure you did not have anything different than the rest of us. There is another Evo listed as of November 29, 2018 of last year -- Evo...

    Just did the latest firmware update 4-16-19

    It's about that time for a beta to be floating around - but I have no heard or seen anything. What is the version # of the update? Not sure if they randomly e-mail people that have sign up for beta in the past or what -- but I find no links like last time to sign-up/download a new beta.

    Bad range with my Autel Evo

    What is the model number printed on your Evo? You can find it under the battery... starts with 2AGNT ---

    Watch US military’s successful test of micro-drone swarm launched from fighter jets

    lol I remember in another conversation - people are interested in trying to pick up sound ... in most cases all you would hear are the rotors/props. You can hardly sneak up on anything with most rotors/props -- lol It sounds like a bee or electric weed eater -- lol These things sound...

    Some really weird stuff going on since the firmware update!

    I complained with Autel about this -- it seems like exactly a month ago... Not landing accurate, claiming uncertain environments when landing and the messages about the visual obstacle avoidance being disabled during landings -- when it used to not say these things. ---- ----- After I...

    Drop a pin to locate Drone?

    This sounds like you have a bad battery. I would suggest you contact Autel for this matter. Even if the Evo is OK, I would want it checked out also. To answer the question: The map will be your best guess in this situation -- unless you look into third party tracking devices. In an...

    Cracked antenna

    That is best -- you are going to do without a controller and can not fly. Might as well get a check-up on the actual Evo while you are getting your controller swapped. My antennas unfortunately have started cracking too. I noticed that when I seen a pin starting to slide out -- small...

    Coaching Mode

    I think a simple download of the current firmware - to the flash card - inserted in the Evo - will do the trick. But if it is acting like it will not pair the old controller anymore -- that's a good one! I would make sure the new one is off. Try to pair again before doing the flash card...

    Does the EVO RC USB PORT accept power charging?

    Here's the manual -- I seen a Quick Start Guide also -- if that was in my box, I missed that! LoL I guess they think everyone automatically thinks or knows to download manuals now -- so they do not have to print them and have a cost for including them. What I find strange is the filename...

    Update On Genesee County Park

    The city/counties here are the same in following the trend... Federal Parks - no drones. State Parks - no drones County Parks - no drones City Parks - no drones Any other land the city or county owns that is not "public parks" -- is no trespassing. Seems everyone thinks they have...

    Camera queries?

    ...not sure on the camera make -- you have the specs right -- it should have been a 1 inch sensor and wasn't. As for the 10-bit recording -- Autel states this in their VLOG - only. That was the first I seen/heard of the option. Before this, I just realize the h.265 option -- but kept it on...

    jerky response to the gimbal wheel

    You should be able to adjust the Gimbal Pitch EXP: down to make it slower movement -- up for faster movement.

    White balance for cloudy day?

    I am still learning my Evo's camera. I flew yesterday to see what a really cloudy day looks like. Last hour of light. No filters. 5-10 mph breezes - nothing major. Once I was in the air -- looking straight across the horizon -- I used the lock function to lock in the "auto" settings that I...
