    Is this a CBO Recreational application of a drone?

    Thanks @jaja6009. It's difficult to sort out. After a day of researching more, I think I now understand CBO and Recreational. I think you are right that the application is probably Part 107. Seems that you can fly "recreationally" but if you do anything with captured footage, you are no longer...

    Is this a CBO Recreational application of a drone?

    I am currently a TRUST pilot after configuring and testing an EVO II back in Nov 2021 for a NGO doing geo-mapping outside the US. I liked that drone. Having been away from drones since then, I'm reading and reading trying to come up to speed on current regulations for a new application. This was...

    Stolen EVO 2. What can Autel do if anything?

    So our EVO was stolen from a storage facility sometime in mid-April but we just discovered it. Autel recommends registering a drone with them in case it's stolen which I did when purchased. I contacted Autel support 5 days ago but they haven't responded. Is there anything they can and will do?

    Can Someone give me an Autel update?

    I bought an Evo 2 Pro V2 for photogrammetry and its flying missions weekly. The PIX4D engineer says the images are stunning compared to the DJI P4P he used previously. Especially the ones mapped where the DJI wouldn't take off due to geo-fencing. LOL Been flying it for a month and haven't...

    Firmware Download stopped at 9%

    Here's a breadcrumb for anyone else encountering this. This was the first update for the V2 (according to the messages) so my skepticism about success was high. In spite of the warnings on the APP and RC about not powering off anything, I had to when the drone battery ran low. After a reboot...

    Firmware Download stopped at 9%

    Brand new Evo 2 Pro V2. I updated firmware once before but I was prompted agian by the APP to update the firmware so I did. The "Download" to the controller stalled at 9%. WHat is the prescribed procedure at this point?

    Why I NEVER use ND Filters With Drone Cameras

    Total drone noob here from video/photo world but looking at drones in photogrammetry application and took the plunge with an EVO II Pro V2. This is a great thread. After reading it, I was all set to return the Freewell filters I had bought based on "some article I read on the internet". Then I...

    Rectangle Mission; Only a couple photos taken

    Ahhh upon further analysis, all the photos for two of the missions were in one folder. A third mission was in a separate folder. So the question becomes, WHAT THE HECK?

    Rectangle Mission; Only a couple photos taken

    This was my first time fly a new EVO II Pro V2. I flew 3 missions in the same area. Only one came back with the right number of photos. The others should have had 40 or so but only had 6 or so. Is there something I could have done by accident that would stop the mission from taking photos? I...

    I just received the Rugged package. There is NOTHING on the packaging or paperwork. Only the V2 on the body. FWIW
