Recently tried to join Dronebase the freelance drone pilot program with an Evo 2 pro 6k. This drone was not listed as approved. So I emailed their support and this is the response.
"We have found the Autel Evo 2 Pro is not capable of taking accurate geo-referenced meta-data which is required for DroneBase Client Missions."
They have the original Evo as approved. Why wouldn't the Evo 2 Pro 6k be as good or better?
Anyway just curious what you all think about this and if any of you have had issues with geo-referenced data when making maps.
