    Goodbye Autel EVO II Pro 6K - Hello DJI Mavic 3 Pro - No Geofencing at Last

    What a great review, thanks for your time and effort! It certainly calms those of us with FOMO! I will continue to milk my Autel Evo II Pro 6K for as long as I can especially since it appears the video quality hasn't really fallen behind much. Although your points about the flight...

    Goodbye Autel EVO II Pro 6K - Hello DJI Mavic 3 Pro - No Geofencing at Last

    10-4 RSands1, we're on the same page, I was aware you had not brought 10-bit into the conversation, but thought I would include that feature/benefit as yet one more reason why I championed the video quality of the Autel back in 2020. I have no doubt you are still getting excellent results from...

    Goodbye Autel EVO II Pro 6K - Hello DJI Mavic 3 Pro - No Geofencing at Last

    I enjoyed your post. I too have been rocking the EVO II Pro 6K v1 since Father's Day 2020 and still using the ol' boy for professional filmwork. Just curious, I know you were sick and tired of the outdated software, but wondering if you might note any other comparisons in video quality besides...

    Keeping EVO II Batteries on charging hub

    There are a lot of people here who know more about it than I do, and you might want to search the forum for battery threads, there are quite a bunch! But I don't think that is recommended. The best analogy I remember hearing is keeping your batteries fully charged all the time is like taking a...

    Nano+ owners... after using it a while, did it live up to your expectations?

    Sure thing and good luck with your decision... sorry for the typo above, it was supposed to say, "three YEAR advantage".

    Nano+ owners... after using it a while, did it live up to your expectations?

    My EVO II Pro 6K just celebrated its 4th birthday (Father's Day gift to myself 2020), and I bought it then because the consensus of the reviews I read clearly put the video quality of that unit above the best DJI could offer then. I was particularly interested in its 10-bit video capabilities...

    EVO II battery instantly went to ZERO!

    There have been many posts and threads in and around this forum regarding battery life and care. And it can turn into a rather technical discussion quickly. I won't go there, but feel free to do a search in the event you want to drill down and read a lot more about it. A few takeaways I've...

    New user with Autel Nano+

    Welcome from Charlotte, NC. I'm still stunned everytime I watch video from the Nano+, and straight out of the camera! No post production or color grading necessary as I do with my EVO 2 Pro when shooting in a Log profile!

    Here Are My Best Camera Settings For the EVO II 6K Camera

    Very nice post, I'm surprised you didn't get any pushback by not adhering to the 180 rule, especially during your daylight video portion. I try to be mindful of it when I can, but I'm not an ardent disciple of it either. I do however get good results using ND filters, but different strokes...

    Crashed Nano+

    Same thing just happened to me, but it was my fault... I was below a tree and had already overridden the RTH alert wanting to get a few more minutes out of it and next thing I knew, I missed the following warning and up it went trying to return to home and flew right up into the branches, wigged...

    EVO II battery instantly went to ZERO!

    Here is the thread I referenced, pay particular attention to the post by 'herein2021'... https://autelpilots.com/threads/drone-crash-when-battery-went-from-21-to-0-in-10-seconds.10809/?utm_source=weekly_email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=1-7-23

    EVO II battery instantly went to ZERO!

    There is another recent thread on here discussing sudden drops in battery charges, and the takeaway I got from those who posted is the batteries MUST be recharged to 100% before every flight if you want the most dependable and reliable performance from them, ESPECIALLY if they were allowed to...

    This is hands down the worst drone I've ever owned

    Your drone sounds like my Dodge Caravan I bought 20 years ago. Everything that could have possibly gone wrong with it did! Yep we both got lemons. I have been flying my Evo II Pro 6K for nearly 2 and a 1/2 years now and even after clipping a fence at high speed, I have had zero problems with it...
