I thought it might be useful for owners to have one thread for discussing issues with the new series EVO drones. I have seen comments all over the place as these are being delivered and it is difficult to follow them all. As Autel reads the forum it may make it easier for them to become aware of what owners perceive as glitches, real or imagined, and incorporate into future firmware updates where possible. It is also a great way to have owner devised work arounds, in one place.
1- 10 bit color video issue shooting Log in 4k. So far people are only seeing 8k bit depth in their metadata files. This is a HUGE issue but Autel informed me they are well aware and working to understand and remedy the problem. As M2P offers 10 bit with an earlier series of this chipset we know the capability is there in the hardware.
2- Ditto the "5.5k@60fps" listed on P24 of the aircraft manual, that is a typo according to AutelSupport which we knew, as it would exceed bandwidth. This is not an issue, typos happen, but people should be made aware.
3-Reported drift to left in Ludicrous Mode while flying into a headwind (Youtube Rant). This seems to be improved in the latest firmware upgrade by a couple accounts, and as few people shoot video at top speed in a headwind, does not seem to me to be a real issue but YMMV.
As any new product like this will be improved as time goes on let's try to keep it practical and appreciative of the fact we have this drone platform with interchangeable cameras, and a company one can actually call and speak with. If we can keep it useful hopefully the thread will not become locked.
