New iOS Autel Explorer beta: very bad news are incoming

[lukappaseidue]

New version of Autel Explorer beta for iOS has been released bringing very bad news.
The altitude limit was lowered to 500 meters. WTF
Whyyyy????

Thats 1640.42 feet. Only a problem if you plan on climbing a mountain.

 

[claudius62]

I'm not sure where the problem is. In any case, as a general rule, the limit height from the take-off point is 120 m. or 150 m.
He could very well have followed the rules and set this limit.
In addition in your country, it is Maximum height allowed: 70 meters

I Always fly following the rule, but Autel have always claimed 800 mt altitude limit (now Autel Explorer can set 800 meters) and No NFZ. It does not want to mean that I will fly over an airport at 700 meters altitude.
But i think that this is a key feature of Autel
With new rules, in italy i can fly higher than 70 meters. Almost twice now.
But if i live in a Mountain area?

Good if the height has been increased, it's a good thing because 70m. it is rather limited and severe.

Did you not read it has been decreased?

i'm worried the evo2 is going to be much more limited in the future due to politics, what ever you do ...dont update it out of the box. keep the software origional

 

[Tufargon]

Not a very good idea considering you don't know what the updates may include. Especially fixes to serious problems.

These new models will probably need several rounds of updates to fix problems already observed.

bummer

or they are just adding more limits to the model to meet new legal requirements to import to USA,, i'm still astounded at the freedom the EVo1 has in NFZ

 

[Tufargon]

They tell you what's in each update. That's why a lot of android users are going back to earlier software. For now.

 

[flyingfool]

you think so.... there's a reason why we DONT fly DJI, and why your Apple products turn to crap after an update.. lol
should be noted that AUtel is undegoing new managment change , so things wont be like the old days anymore..

 

[Tufargon]

Ok. Well, there's obviously nothing I can tell you about the truth that will take your paranoia away.
Just don't update it even when the update can mean way better things.

 

[flyingfool]

its not paranoia if its true... the old CEO is out at Autel from what i hear, new guys are taking over the company..

 

[Tufargon]

Lol. It's not their first rodeo and they are not going out of business. They don't only sell drones. This has been beaten like a dead horse.

 

[flyingfool]

roger that

 

[Tufargon]

Search the forum. You'll see that exact subject has been talked about. AND other issues similar since the XSP and they are still rollin.

Remember, that's 500m above take-off elevation. In US, we need to keep within 400 feet (121m) of the ground. When I fly up a mountainside, I can climb to 400 ft. above a 1240 ft. (378m) mountain and still stay below that 500m above take-off elevation limit.
