He has a good point, which is that his particular M2P has seen a lot of use and the model has been around for a bit whilst the Evo 2 is new. DJI must be burning the midnight oil to come up with a ‘go stopper’. Let’s hope they don’t rush out a Mavic 3 Pro that—like the Mavic Air 2–appears to have been released before it was ready.
M2s are still the most versatile folding drones made. May not lead in all areas, but still hard to beat overall.Yes, and it seems to me, as I see it, that the bird is not yet ripe.
For that, I am still waiting a few months to see what it will give exactly.
In the meantime, I took over a ripe bird, a Mavic 2 pro to spend my vacation right now, keeping company with the Evo 1. What happiness, with the very smooth Litchi missions.
How is the 10 bit working for you?
How about programming the back buttons?
How about waypoint missions?
How about the tilted horizons?
How about the Mickey Mouse controller?
Which is smoother flying?
The E2 has some great features but to say it blows away a Mavic 2 "in every area" shows you don't know much about the M2P.
I wouldn’t mind, but I’m in Oz. Still have my Evo 1, but batteries are not available here and are difficult to import by air because of Australian restrictions on carriage of LiPos. Yet you can ship a drone with two batteries as part of a kit. Doesn’t make sense to me, but...Obviously I just voiced my opinion. But I do know a ton about the Mavic 2. I personally have the Pro 2, the Pro 2 Zoom, and the Pro 2 Dual. I also work with the local FBI and several local PD's with regards to UAV training for the officers and helping them maintain their fleet. As of last week, I know of at least 10 police departments that are dumping their Mavic 2's in favor of the Autel Evo II.
I agree the remote is not great but its better than the DJI remote and has a real display. I agree the Evo II remote feels cheap, but it does work and does provide video and the option to fly without a phone if needed.
I'll even add that if you really want a Mavic 2 Pro, PM me as I know where they can be had new for 40% off.

Really hate the back and forth about my drone is better than your drone arguments.
The best drone is the one you use to get the job done. Period.
I have loads of DJI drones, never went for the M2 line. Hassleblad video is soft. Saw that right out of the gate. DJI said is wasn't, and that is far from the truth.(Pro model) Fanbois defended it right away. When you can't see reality when it is all over youtube, there is something wrong. When the first videos came out from the 8k Evo II, I was NOT impressed. They were soft, but it seems that Autel found the problem and fixed it. Autel Evo I and now Evo II Pro has very, very sharp video, and no NFZ enforcement.
Sure, you can sharpen any video in post, but you can't gain something you don't have in the first place, only minimize the non-sharp. I didn't want to deal with that.
No, the Evo I and II do not fly near as silky smooth as DJI...not by a long shot in normal flying modes.
No, the EVO RC's are not the best, but adequate I guess. The built in OLED screen is great. The ergonomics are not so great.
Yes the flight time on the Evo II Pro is fantastic.
IMO does the Evo II Pro blow away the M2 Pro? No, but is it better? Yes, feature wise. There is plenty of room for both, and anyone who gives DJI competition WITHOUT NFZ enforcement and has an excellent camera gets my money. Lets see what DJI comes out with the M3 line. Don't know if spec wise it will be better than the Evo II Pro, but it will definetly still have DJI NFZ on it. Deal breaker for me, no matter how great it is.
Read again. I said Evo II Pro. That is the 6k camera, 1 inch sensor. Not comparing the 8K sensor to a 1". Not a straight comparison between the M2 and the 8K, as you have found out. I think you will like the 6K.
