NEW RELEASE: Autel Smart Controller for EVO II

[advexure]

I'm not sure if this link will work...but on a Facebook Evo2 page, there are a couple videos posted. While I can't translate the commentary, it shows the new Smart Controller from an industry show. When they pan from the new controller to the current version...well...let's just say I think it's impressive!

Can't seem to see the post in the group. Just FYI, would may have been shown at a show was the Autel Voyager which is the remote for the Dragonfish. It looks somewhat similar to the Autel Smart Controller for EVO II but has a few different buttons. Easiest way to tell the difference is whether it has an orange flight mode toggle in the upper right corner, that indicates it is for the Dragonfish.

The girl on camera shows the Evo2 models in the video. I copied down the name of the poster, 何朋玹.

I've attached the best screenshot of the controller.

Definitely the Autel Smart Controller for EVO II and not the Voyager!

Below is the Voyager.

Can you confirm that the antennas are removable and able to be swapped with other options?

As I understand, it uses SMA connectors...

The Advexure Team is excited to announce the release of the Autel Smart Controller for EVO II Series.

The Autel Smart Controller for EVO II Series has been designed to enhance your flying experience with all EVO II series aircrafts. The Autel Smart Controller features a 7.9 inch super-bright display at 2000 nits of brightness. This brightness is four times brighter than conventional mobile devices, smartphones and tablets. This brightness enhances your UAS operation during direct sunlight to reduce glare and provide clear screen visibility. Operating time peaks at 4.5 hours on a single charge at 50% brightness, and 3 hours at maximum brightness. 128GB of internal storage gives you plenty of space for apps, media and other storage needs on the Smart Controller itself. In addition to the internal storage, SD card support of up to 1TB ensures you have the ability to stretch your storage capabilities for the most media demanding applications you find yourself in.

Available for Pre-Order from Advexure: Autel Smart Controller for EVO II Series

Yes, you are able to connect other antennas with SMA. The stock antennas screw right off their posts.

Will it be possible to utilize the original controller along with the new one - by that I mean can I control flight and mission profiles on the new controller while someone else is making camera inputs on my original? EVO 2 Pro - And I usually fly with the controller and iPad affixed to a tripod (See attached pictures) - works great. Will there be or is anyone working on a system allowing the same for the new controller?

Thanks @MattMPA!

Can’t wait to get mine. Ordered the case this week since my rugged bundle case doesn’t have a spot for it or the Fox Fury Lighting so we can’t have that can we lol. Not sure what I’ll use the “regular “ case for but that’s a first world problem I’ll solve later LOL

Why Autel itself is not showing this controller on the website?

They took a lot of heat for the Evo II being late to ship. So guessing they will hold the announcement until it starts shipping so they can say they had availability at launch.

Me too. I was measuring, examining my rugged case yesterday. If the SC doesn't fit in the bottom the way it is...I'll buy a hunk of the foam from CaseClub and make a new bottom layer piece. My OCD wants everything in one case...

A quick question; does anyone know if there is / will be a sunshade for the screen of the smart controller? Or, alternatively, are there any groves or rails that would allow third party manufacturers to provide such? I think that would be a very important option, especially on the bright days.

 

[PingSpike]

It's 2000nits, you don't need a sunshade mate ?

I wear dark sunglasses while flying with my CrystalSky Ultra and can see the screen perfectly, that's how bright 2000nits is ?

Well, that doesn't answer my question. Even the brightest screens in some circumstances need shades.

 

[PingSpike]

Ok, I'll take the bait ?

Under which circumstances would a 2000nits display screen require any form of shade?

This is fantastic. Maybe if I can ever get them to properly fix my Pro, I'll pick this up then.

We hear ya on this one. Pretty standard protocol on most production monitors of 2000 nits or greater that they still have sunshades. We have not seen indents or clear ability to mount a hood, but I'm sure if Autel hasn't kept a way in mind, third parties such as Hoodman will find a way. Would love a hood shade/cover similar to what DJI did for their CrystalSkys to not only function as a hood, but also a cover for protection.
