I've got that drone. I almost never shoot in 6K because the overhead in processing the video on my computer is really bad. Plus, my flat screen HD 4K Samsung TV can't play 6K video. It looks like the signal they used to put out on TV stations when they went off the air at night. Haha. But the drone is wonderful at 4K. It really handles the wind very well. With that zoom built in, it's now my go-to drone instead of my Mavic 2 Pro. I did have to adjust the sensitivity for the gimbals on the camera and for the sticks. I've never gotten 40 minutes flight time. 32 minutes is about the max I've ever gotten in real life.

Going to have to save my pennies to get one and also the Freewell ND filters you have. Then, try to become proficient and learn all of the ins and outs to what it can do along with the Explorer app. In my case, being an old timer with brain fog, I'll probably need a teaching course for it.....rotflmao!!!

Happy flying!

Thanks for the info! Yes that definitely helps with the controllability, and I see you can also adjust the speed of the gimbal tilt. Unfortunately that still doesn't fix the issue of the gimbal snapping into motion more abruptly than I would like to see. The slowest gimbal tilt speed is still too fast when compared to a Mavic 2 Pro or Phantom.

When I got my EVO II Pro the it had that yaw jumpiness using the factory settings for EXPO and sensitivity. I adjusted them the way I like and now it flies like butter through cream. There are also different flight modes in the Evo Explorer app that slow down the quad (adjustable) for cinematic shots. That said I would like to take the controller and smash it with a size 11 boot. Stick tension is too high, the controller is poorly balanced so when you add your iPad or phone on the controller it wants to flip over. Then you have the buttons on the back. What were they thinking? You can also fly the EVO II without a ipad, phone or any additional screen. There is a small screen on the controller that you can switch to but without the app you lose a lot of functions and features.

But 6K, variable aperture, 40 min flight time, no geofencing, all for about the cost of the M2 Pro fly more combo, I could have scraped up the additional $600 and got the Autel. Currently, I have way too many DJI drones. I have a Mavic Pro with FPV Goggles and just about every accessory that came out for it; both Minis, and now all three Airs.

The sticks have huge dead centers, and the gimbal wheel is the same way. As far as return to home. I give mine a launch pad to aim for and it will land on it 9 out of 10 times. If they used high quality gimbals in the radio, and a better wheel.. They would have as close to a perfect drone as I have ever seen!!

HI Ed just getting into drones now but I want it purely for stills photography. Would you recommend the autel evo 2 over the mavic 2 pro or do you think it doesn't matter. Ive narrowed down to these two because they both have one inch sensor and variable aperture lens. It's one easier than the other to set up, maintain etc?
@EdRickerVlogs2 жыл бұрын
The EVO 2 Pro really wins all around on almost everything. The one inch sensor and the variable aperture are really the only two features that are identical, as well as surround obstacle avoidance. The EVO 2 Pro wins on pretty much every other big spec (resolution, frame rate, battery run time, low light performance, field of view, etc). I do think the Mavic 2 Pro has better controllability though. It feels really good to fly in tripod mode for very precise movements.
