Autel EVO 2 Pro Enterprise Spotlight Module 🔦

Take a first glimpse with me of this Enterprise Spotlight Module/Accessory as I test out on this frigid 17 degree night for the first time ever really not having any idea about its use and how effective it is or not. Also waiting for my Sony a7s3 to arrive which will be AMAZING for shooting these low light videos but for now kind of sucks so will improve greatly shortly. This Enterprise accessory is also very functional and useful and cool just like the Megaphone is! Al🚁ha

This weekend I flew the Evo 2 Pro Ent V3 in some stronger winds, with longer arms and larger motors you would hope it would perform better then an Evo 2 Pro V1. It did not, it would slow down and drop altitude and even gave me tilt warnings instead of wind warnings. They have not even programmed the FC good for the wind, this is terrible. They need to do a serious update for the FC. I've flown my Evo 2 Pro V1s in powerful winds that wanna knock you over, nothing can take that thing out of the sky, the winds yesterday were not even close to that strong and the Evo 2 Pro Ent V3 sucked badly. It took them till June 6th 2022 before they had the final FW update that gave us dual stability on the Evo 2 Pro V1 also, thats 2 years after the drone was released. So thats how long we might be waiting before they fix things with this one. I'm starting a drone company and I can't even do serious filming with this drone because the dual stability is what got the Evo 2 Pro V1 real close to the Mavic, as far as smooth flying for filming goes. So at this time if I was doing serious filming, I would still actually be using my Evo 2 Pro V1 drone. Autel is focused on making money pushing the Evo Max 4T now and other products and is taking their time with this drone poeple spent 5K of their hard earned money on. And lastly, can we please stop beating around the bush with these useless accessories and make a drop arm like we know that that's what everyone wants. Can someone who knows electronics please rewire one of those useless accessories they give us and make a drop arm. I would be willing to pay handsomly for one.

Honestly, I'm not sure what's up with autel lately. I feel I've had a horrible luck!

I have always preferred Autel drones because they make the most advanced drones. But Autel has also been putting out incomplete drones, where features are not working as advertised. I have recently bought an Evo 2 Pro Enterprise V3. I have a few hundred flights and understand a little about frequencies and antennas and I will explain here to dissolve any confusion about those things. I have lots of experience with the Evo 2 Pro V1 as I have 2 of them and have done lots of comparing and troubleshooting over the last couple of years with them. The Evo 2 Pro E V3 which should have a 15km transmission I just got barely transmits as good as my Evo 2 Pro V1's, which have a 9km transmission. When you go to the transmission screen on the new Evo 2 Pro E V3, there are no options, the screen is empty, Autel has explained to me this will be done at some update, it has now been 5 months since the drone's been released. The drone is very obviously working on a 2.4Gz signal, that is a short wavelength and should have a 2 inch antenna, just like most all drones up till now. The reason the transmission is barely keeping up with my Evo 2 Pro V1s, is because they put a 4 inch antenna, which is optimal for 900Mhz frequency. 900Mhz Is a longer wave that goes better through walls, when they do the update this will be an amazing drone yes, for now, if you've had an Evo 2 Pro V1 in the past, you will feel quite dissapointed. I do get real flight times of a little over a half an hour compared to 25 minutes which everyone always exagerrates, so Autel did real good there yes. So Autel put out a new drone with supposed frequency switching, but it's not doing any of that yet and the antennas are optimized for 900Mhz, which the drone is not working on, because if it was working 15km with 900Mhz would be amazing in the city yes. Of course at 900Mhz you then get a slower waves, hence slower data transfer, so I'm not even sure if they can transmit data at 1080 at that frequency, I would be fine with 720 resolution at 900Mhz, I still see power lines good on the bright screen, right now it is 720, I can easily tell, they havent updated that either. Respectively, a 4.8Gz transmission or 5.8, would be optimas with about an even shorter antenna probably closer to 1 inch, with makes it easier to fit inside your cellphone as you go up with Ghz :-). This is a very disappointing thing that Autel is doing and I hope they do the update for the transmission soon. I paid 5k for this thing and that was one of the main reasons I bought it for. Autel has also released a new drone with something very important not working as advertised. They kept my drone in repair for weeks so I got my money back from Blue Skies, who I bought it through. I then got the same drone through Amazon and found that the feature is not working on that one as advertised either. I have considered sueing Autel but I have always liked and supported Autel, and would prefer not to do this. If Blue Skies does not end the bank case against me I will tell everyone here what this feature is a lot of people would be upset, and I would hurt Autel, I would prefer not to do this. I hope they do an update to fix this soon.

Wow. I'll read and respond better soon.

First air2 s army out

Thanks for sharing your video Anthony. Let me ask you something. I do have the Enterprise as well and it came with the Smart controller, so why you don’t use your SC and where did you buy from the standard controller v2 for the enterprise? I also preordered the Nano + and still waiting for it. Again, thank you to share your video, and I bet it was cold 🥶

[@AtortAerials]

Advexure said they could bundle without the smart controller so opted to save some cash and go that route for now. I had a version 1 smart controller I actually bought from Advexure and just way too BIG for me for flying cinematically as I mentioned before. I think if doing only non cinematic stuff then yeah large bright display awesome. Search and rescue for example would make tons of sense snd be awesome. I believe many love it for mapping too. Yup 15 degrees is cold for this guy! 🥶🥶🥶

[@edycafe]

@@AtortAerials thank you so much for your replay! I appreciate it. I also bought mine from Advexure, as well the nano + preorder. Have an awesome Sunday ! 😎

[@glennalan]

Wow! Once again excellent video Anthony and exactly what I needed to know. Is the actual Spotlight adjustable? I guess it doesn't matter cause as you go forward it shoots exactly where you would want. Will you be doing a video on the attachable light? Thank you!

[@AtortAerials]

I believe it is I was noticing more as I was taking it off the drone. This was a first video for this and since cold and not getting better just wanted to get something recorded. I think after the first time out with these accessories you really learn a lot about them and their potential. I know I did!

[@DavidBrown-nd9mf]

With the smart controller you get instant access to the accessories and their functions once they're connected to the drone. The spotlight has adjustable brightness low to high and on and off.

Deep dish?
