Been flying since January 2018, section 107 certified and recertified. Got my EVO II as soon as they were available. Started flying with Phantom 4 Pro. Glad to join the forum.

Hello from Ontario Canada

Welcome to the Forum. I think you will enjoy your membership. There are many other members happy to provide assistance for any issues you may have, and those that may need information you bring. A lot of good information is already stored in existing threads.

Couple easy things:
1.) The search Icon is your friend. It's the magnifying glass near the upper right of the screen when you scroll all the way up. It can find many answers you will never find by yourself.
2.) Be aware that you won't always get a quick response. There are times when many other members are on line, and sometimes only a few. A response may not show up until the right person sees it.
3.) Be aware the forum is Global. If you are exchanging with a member on the other side of the world, response can get delayed and out of sequence due to a difference in local time.
4.) Although the Forum is global, the language is English. It is customary to translate other languages to English. Many members also include the original language post to help alleviate translation errors.
5.) Review the forum rules (on the bottom right). There are not too many, but it is important they are followed to keep the Forum a useful and happy place for everyone.

Also please ***READ BEFORE POSTING FOR HELP***

Welcome. Do you still fly and use your p4p for 107 or do you mostly fly your evo now?

REStewart · Aug 22, 2020

Thanks to Jeritol and PX1P for welcoming me. In answer to PX1P yes I fly both. The EVO is less hastle when flying in restricted airspace; when I get FAA approval via AIRMAP I can launch without going through the DJI "Fly Safe" dance. Both platforms record great video and still images. A rather long (9 minutes) example of my work (P4P) can be found here.

I know you intended @REStewart to reply, but as a fellow 107 pilot and owning both aircrafts, I'll reply.

I use my P4P for most of my commercial flights. Since I'm always on the move, that mechanical shutter prevents my photos from turning up blurry. It's a heavier drone, so it's more stable in different scenarios. I use my Evo when either I am in a hurry and don't want the hassle of setting up or forgot to use DJI Self Unlock at the office and the Phantom just won't take off.

Thank you so much for the reply sorry it took so long that's pretty much what I figured I have the Autel Evo first generation and I have a phantom 4 Pro obsidian Plus and i just got it and I love it but it does take a few more minutes to set up.but I think I will use both the evo is still great and I can get it in the air in less than a minute. Even thought about selling the p4p obsidian plus for a evo 2 but we will see.. Lol. The vlos with the p4p being black is phenomenal!

May be the wrong thread to inquire but I've tried everything, including a new prop and this thing simply will not fly. Hope others aren't having the same trouble.

Does seem to hover on the yard okay though.

Doh! Have you tried updating the trim-ware?

It seems the brushless motors need replacement. They look black and blunt.
