Now we’re talkin’

skipper1 · Jul 23, 2020

After up dating to the newest firmware I went flying this morning and I see a major difference in the way the Evo 2 performs. First, the software is now saving your settings. Roll is now smooth, Yaw is smooth, there could be a little more play in the up & down throttle.

I also want to be able to go into the software without having to have the aircraft in the air, I think that needs a fixing.

Overall, I’m a pretty happy camper today. Thanks for listening Autel!

What settings are you running for Exp and Sensitivity ?

For me it is not saving ALL the settings.

Histogram position and focus peaking are at least two that should be.

skipper1 · Jul 23, 2020

I can’t remember my settings. If I could turn on everything and look I would tell you but you’ll have to wait until I fly again.

That Histogram is annoying for sure. I remember when I first started flying this morning that all the settings were the same from last time or pretty close. I did notice that when I changed batteries I would check the settings and they would be zero and a couple of seconds later would jump back to what I set.

Focus peaking is something I am not familiar with.

Honestly I had been thinking about getting rid on my Evo Pro until this morning, I am much happier with the direction things are going. e’re not there yet but I think we’re getting close.

I’m going to put together a short video from this morning for the professional eyes to look at. Right now the camera is on auto.

I’m interested in your settings also. I have been playing with the settings and Am getting closer to being Dialed in. I think we will get there in time.

Today was a great day, just a little more fine tuning. I have been trying to upload a video to YouTube but for some reason “Oooops we encountered a problem”. I think I’ll have to try later tonight or tomorrow morning.

I don’t know what’s up with YouTube but I was unable to upload this video. I tried all after noon and again early this morning.
Went to Vimeo, this was recorded at 4K 30fps, I thought it was on 24fps. No coloring or anything, straight from SD card. This is just to show how I have tamed the controls.

Have you shared your setting anywhere?

I need some finesse in my life ?

Looks pretty good for Auto, manual camera settings will be of more benefit once NDs are out. Right now it is hard to get the shutter speed right and f-stop values in the best range in brighter lighting.

I have not and I’m not trying to keep it a secret, I can’t remember what they are. I’m flying again Sunday morning and I will write my settings down and share them. Thanks for watching the video, I’m pretty happy with the flying right now, I did notice that most of the time my speed was 2.5 to 3mph. I know that’s slow but it’s what I like.

I use LumaFusion and normally I will add a tiny bit of something to get the clip to pop but this time I figured the viewers would be more interested in “just the facts”.

I would also be happy to see your shared settings Skipper1

I’ll make sure you get my settings. I just replaced the video I posted with the longer version, it’s now even more mesmerizing!

There is a YouTube clip going around with setting on

skipper1 · Jul 26, 2020

Here are the settings I am currently using. First, I have been flying in “Dual Stability”.
Under flight control > Advanced Settings
EXP Throttle Up .25
Rotate Right. .30
Forward Right. .30

Sensitivity. Attitude. 20%
Brake. 50%
YAW. 40%

This should get you going, of course fiddle with these settings and fine tune to your liking.

I'm guessing that these settings can't be saved?

The last 3 times I have flown the settings have been saved so I’m guessing they are saved. Be safe and write them on a piece of paper and take it with when you fly.
I did forget to tell you I have my gimbal set on 16, slower might be even better but I wouldn’t go past 10.

When you say gimbal set to 16, are you referring to the "Gimbal Pitch EXP Sensitivity"? John
