I have flown an Evo II Pro as one of my professional workhorses since May 2020, logging close to 900 minutes and 70 odd rotations, without any operational concerns, and with the videographic results seeming to meet client needs. Earlier this year, I too realised there would be a need for my...

Always a matter of personal choice, but drawing on my own experiences; hang in there! I have had a great run with the EVO II 6k from day 1. Like many others, I was (eventually) able to obtain a v1 RC about a year ago, which operationally has not given any problems at all, across more than 30...

I have been experiencing an issue with the SCv1 battery literally discharging when plugged in for a recharge. After use a few weeks ago, the capacity was down to around 58% (I don't recharge it before every new flight), so generally wasn't too worried. However I had a job coming up I knew was...

I can certainly understand that you are feeling more than a little p*&^ed off. I waited about 3 months for mine, which it would seem was a long way less time than you have been waiting. Worth the wait, as far as I was concerned, and I would say I have had only good experiences using it since...

Consumer guarantee are probably pretty similar in you country as they are in mine (New Zealand); the merchant must remedy any manufacturer defects or damage caused in transit, does not have to provide a refund on the grounds a purchaser has changed their mind, or because they do not think a...

Sorry to say, I can't offer any solutions to the issues you've identified. I was among that group of hapless souls who was destined to miss out on the v1 SC, pre-ordered back in March or April of last year. Finally in early December I was able to take a first, tentative, flight using the SC. In...

Posted here on December 12th the very happy news I had finally received a v1 Smart Controller - after a stop-start wait since mid April 2021. Some experiential feed back was promised at the time, possibly after Christmas/New Year. 🙃 Oh so very slightly, the whole process of giving the flick to...

I wouldn't go far to say that DJI UAVs are *&$@. I've had two and couldn't have faulted either for their flying or photographic capabilities. I certainly had multiple problems with geo fencing though I decided to get rid of both, after a particular geo fencing episode cost me a lot in travel and...

Finally arrived! 🥴 Long overdue or and early Christmas present? :oops: I pre-ordered my v1 Smart Controller in April with an initial deliver date of late May or early June being assured. By late June, dragging well into July, even my local supplier was no longer willing to give any guarantees...

While we probably live in different parts of the same global village, I suspect our Smart Controller experiences have a very similar genesis. I pre-ordered my SC unit around the end of March, early April also; with the advice being from my local supplier I could expect delivery May or early...

My two-penneth around transparency, and a decision whether to stay with existing EVO II Pro or to upgrade - at what cost! What seemed like several decades ago now, I put down my pre-order deposit for the must lauded Smart Controller - for which the waters around delivery have become very muddied...

As previously stated in an earlier post, I missed out on getting in an order from my supplier's first shipment at the end of March. Got confirmation on Thursday my pre-order from the second shipment will be here in the first week of June. I did play around with the idea of putting the money I...

Hmmm! Interesting comments and questions about bona fide pre-order promotions for the smart controller - in the US at least. If Autel's own promotions had been followed, the immanent launch of this RC unit was being well signalled late last month My regular supplier of Autel AUV products here in...

I purchased a Crystalsky (not the high spec version) a few years ago now - initially using it exclusively with the two DJI Mavic series UAVs I was flying at the time. For various reasons - mainly to do with unending problems around not being able to take off in both restricted and unrestricted...
