From one of my fellow moderators on other UAV forums that I highly respect his opinion here is his views on the new
EVO2
"A few points from a personal perspective.
Over the last couple years an individual’s writing skills in obfuscation have improved immensely.
I don’t fly “pocket” drones as I cannot keep them in view beyond a few hundred feet.
Yuneec has all but fallen on their sword, effectively removing them from the list of viable camera drones.
DJI makes a lot of very good products but their clear mandate to control the product, the user, the drone market, and world airspace for drones leaves them less than trustworthy.
Parrot makes some fun stuff but the Anafi is just too small and light to be used at any significant distance.
Autel products generally work, are “unrestricted”, and will be releasing slightly larger products with 1” sensor cameras. Their customer service isn’t bad. The debate over 5.8k, 6k, and 8k is virtually meaningless as most people are still using viewing devices limited to 1080 or lower resolution, and few have computers with the ability to efficiently process image resolution above 4k. So for the next couple years if so all the 6k and 8k sales pitches are more hype than anything else.
For me that means the new Autel products are worth a look and waiting a little longer to see what they can do is no big deal. What would be absolutely thrilling would be finding Autel made provisions for users to modify the FC programming, but that’s probably just too much to hope for. "
I totally agree.
