Henlo,



I have a Parrot Bebop drone I cute my teeth with, and have had a lot of fun with.

Recently with the turmoil in the world, and the prepper's mantra, "Two is one, and one is none" I decided to get another drone... I bought a DJI Mavic Pro 2, however, something went wrong and the money was refunded... This was a cosmic happening, as I did some research, and discovered the long flight time and high quality camera of the Autel Evo Pro 2, so I bought one of them, instead (I got the rugged kit, it's very nice!)

I bought it as a backup for my parrot.

Presently, I have a FLIR USB C thermal camera system (Designed for an android phone) that I am trying to integrate onto/into the drone so I can have a top-down view of thermal signatures, either for security purposes, entertainment, or possible hunting (If things get bad enough, it never hurts to be prepared, I have survived everything from wolf attacks to armed combat, solo hiking accidents, and several other things that have historically, killed people in the past, so to say I am familiar with the dangers of life, is an understatement, this drone is an extension of "myself" to keep me, and my loved ones safe :3)

If I cannot integrate the FLIR camera with the drones native video feed, then I will use a separate transmitter to pipe the footage to another monitor, dedicated to thermal mapping of an area.

I got the drone yesterday, haven't had a lot of time to fly it, today I am hoping to get some flight time into it today.

In doing research, I see the Enterprise version has larger motors, (But the same airframe) my question is, how to get these motors, A. and B., can the stock controllers on the 2 pro handle the increased motor size and current requirements?

Anyway looking forward to using this drone and its features!

Hello,
Can somebody tell me if there is no posibilty to buy longer landing legs.
I have a Evo light + and it is not possible to take of in the fields ( the cam touch the grass etc..)
A landingset would be much better ( my opinion)
