All the little things that Autel offer is what made my decision. This was before I bought one.
-Support
-Detachable gimbal
-Hard case
-900 instead of the 2.7 that operates on WiFi
So in the way home I stopped and bought the last X-Star Premium they had.
Have 4 jobs in next 7 days so I couldn't wait.
Once home everything from the packaging and robustness of the drone, propellers, case and gimbal were great.
Drone is a little heavier but I rather have that fro extra stability in the winds we have down here.
The pops are great and I appreciate the rigidity the have.
All the push button features on the controller are nice as well.
The batter and it's charging elements are nice.
I could go on but.......
It appears that Autel has focused more on the basic features and fundamentals needed for commercial photography and videography.
I shoot high end commercial and residential real estate and bare property.
I am not doing any fancy fast flying, car chasing type of work.
Just slow pans, flyovers etc along with stills.
This has everything I need at half the price.
I am typing this after having just flown it for the first time on a job and
I absolutely LOVE the orange color!
So easy to acquire a visual against the blue sky and white clouds! Well done.
I will stop now.
