Seems like a decent deal I believe.

That was the deal that pushed me over the edge to buying a AEII Pro 6K. $400 off regular price. The bundled landing pad is a hefty piece but it sure makes flying off uncut tall grassy fields nice, and the fluorescent orange jumps off the screen at you when heading back to find your taking/landing spot from a distance. Harbor Freight had a quite nice matching orange Pelican 1450 clone case on sale for $29 that fits the standard boxed drone's laser-cut packing material with very minor modifications. Autel Low Noise props are half-price through January from Empire. B&H even had a deal for $50 off an extra battery. Bought the full Freewell ND/Pola filter set and Bob's your uncle. That's what I did with the savings, anyhow

Yeah I grabbed that deal for a battery from B&H last week. Didn't know about the 2 sets of props for the price of 1 deal so thanks for that info. I did the Harbor Freight case a couple of years ago for my EVO I. This time I bought a used Autel branded hard case from someone here on the forums. I still need to get some filters though.

Don't know if they're still running the sale but the case for the Autel Rugged Bundle was also 1/2 price the other day at B&H for $100. Me, I'mma get me some more black packing foam and tidy up my nifty orange waterproof case for under $50 and a little effort. (It's just right sized, the Apache 3800 from Harbor Freight, for drone and controller each inside their little pre-formed cradles, a 2nd battery, the Freewell case, and the charger. A 3rd battery could be workable with a couple of adjustments). Cubed pick and pluck foam isn't ideal, but the nice black foam that Autel included in the boxed version is a great headstart since it neatly swaps out into my camera backpack, too, making for a modular solution

It was valid for almost a week. I posted the sale a month ago.

What up? Your stuff flying right? My issues were all fixed and have nothing but praise for Autel. Let me know and be well.

Yes...the rain finally stopped and I was able to fly her. No issues but with that said I haven't updated the firmware and a bit scared to. I realize that the problems you had ended up not being firmware related but I'm still not sure if I should. I need to research what the benefits are to upgrading to the latest version....what do I gain from it vs the chance of screwing something up.

Glad your up and I would say give the update a shot, but I would do it the manual way via downloading to the card directly then insert into the drone. Remember if you have 2 extra battery then you do it 2 extra times, one for each with each battery and do full reboot at the end of each update time.

I Should have my 6K back shortly from Autel, it was actually a defective gimbal and top obstacle avoidance sensor shipped that way from factory. Not one thing wrong with update as I thought.

I believed it was update as I had to do that out of the box as it requested it so that's why I thought initially it was the update bute just the opposite.

Customer Service was awesome to say the least and I was not charged a dime. Total bill under warranty was 987.00.

So from my experience I can't speak enough satisfaction about Autel. (But the 2nd drone backup helped that side) - You do know I bought a 2nd back up Evo 2 8 k, while the 6 K was sick I could fly.

The 8 K has 6 batteries and did the update 6 times. Tweaked the EXP setting and sensitivity. Flew 15 jobs last 3 weeks and not one issue. So Autel is all good in my book now. Be well bud!
