Evo 2 (V3) Webinar Jan 10th, McBride and Warnas

I had a conflicting meeting come up at the same time last minute but caught the last 30%...
Seems the Evo Max will end up being the "Evo3" as they iron out the bugs with the smaller enterprise user-base... then re-package the EvoMax as EvoMax Pro, ExoMax RTK Mapping, EvoMax SAR/LAW, etc... that is my thought anyway.

Evo2Pro V3 must be the last iteration then I assume the different models will be derivatives of the Max airframe. The Evo Light and Nano fit the Intermediate and beginner/ultra-portable segments well so the larger frame of the Max can take on the heavy lifting or more pro photography/videography.

Imagine a mapping mission being run with 2-3 Evo-Max's flying lines in parallel and all communicating together into the new 'Enterprise' mapping app. Quicker mapping, more work..

same here; on and off while doing other things. my focus is on the consumer side and i keep hearing the new lightweight smart controller will eventually work with lite/nano. will watch the replay over again which should land in 24 hrs.
 
anyone else attended besides me? comments?
No mention of software improvement. Highlighting more robust hardware that can offer more comprehensive software is not the same as the software itself being improved. At this point, Autel talk is not worth much. Jon and his team are well-meaning. But they don't get to decide to improve the software. That comes from Max.
 
Apparently there is a new Enterprise app on its way that the V3's can use when it arrives... maybe they have been funneling all their resources into this bird. Time will tell.
 
So, what about the consumer SE controller firmware update regarding the spontaneous discharging of the controller battery while it is plugged into the control unit and sits overnight? Autel puts out new products but can't fix their existing product problems.
 
The revision you are referencing was put out but no mention it was for the enterprise or consumer products.
I am not sure what you mean by Enterprise App. Can you clarify this please?

I was referencing Detritalgeo original message about the Enterprise application.

I am angry, no, I am PO'd with Autel right now.

I was sold an "Enterprise" based product without documentation and based on some of the features I have seen in the V2 model. Now I have purchased the V3 and Smart Controller and some of those features are missing. I also need to create large waypoint missions for law enforcement purposes and cannot edit the missions. I also have ZERO documentation on the IR camera settings. I am looking for help right now and have emails into Autel to tell them to get off their asses or I am going to a competing product.
Sorry, I am pretty much in the dark.

Apparently there is a new "Autel Enterprise" app that will be released when the Max 4T starts shipping. The webinar info indicated that the Evo2 V3 would be supported by this new app as well.

I would imagine most of the app functionality will be to support the new hardware in the Max 4T...

I am sorry for the problems you are having. AR has many issues. Software as well as poor product use information. I Hope AR is working on these issues. I can appreciate your frustrations.

Will the new mission planning app also support V2 and V3 Enterprise Evo 2 models?

from post #12 above:

'The Enterprise App is not replacing the Explorer app, but will only work with v3 aircrafts.'

no idea if the enhanced mapping features will make their way to the Explorer app... I would imagine it can be easily be done and is a decision for Autel management to either alienate existing users to try and force a few reluctant upgrades or provide some benefit to the existing installed user-base and enjoy some good-faith sales...
