Fstoppers Reviews the Autel EVO: Too Little, Too Late

So this review went out about yesterday and the reviewer was having all major issues with the range, stability, gimbal tilt, etc.

I've had the evo for a few weeks now and I find it to be a pretty decent drone. I have not pushed it to the limits yet but i have flown it vertically to ~650 Meters in Shanghai, china and did a range test that got me about 2 miles out ( not in shanghai) before I decided to head back without any video breakup. I did get some gimbal tilt from time to time. At worst it was about 3 degrees and other times it had been perfect. Other than some tilt from time to time and the damned controller button placements I find it acceptable. I mainly take photos though. But from this reviewer it seems like this is the absolute worst. Is anyone else experiencing gimbal tilt as bad as this guy? even after gimbal calibration?

to some even the sligest tilt is horrendous,to others its barely noticible,do you know if he has the firmware that addressed this issue
even the most popular drones were afflicted with this issue.,i have 2 mavics and one corrects itself after most every yaw.

The reviewer said that "the horizon is always tilted and no amount of gimbal calibration will fix the problem ". I think gimbal calibration is provided only on the latest firmware.

When the Mavic came out it got a lot of tilt reports, My X5 on Inspire 1 has horrible tilt specially if you boot in a less than level surface and when circling about with the camera 360 degrees it got terrible. Then I unboxed and flew my EVO it had no tilt, and after the firmware update. ..... tilt LOL, stuff happens

I think gimbal calibration is provided only on the latest firmware.[/QUOTEMaybe not calibration, but correction like every other drone has in case the initial boot is done in a less than level surface, making the gimbal think that is a balanced horizon
