I see that the V2 (new chip series) of the EVO 2 is arriving in stores next week. There are some good deals on the EVO 2 with the discontinued chips but not sure if worth it. The V2 chip series is supposed to give the EVO more range and be compatible with all new related options moving forward. What do you think? Thanks in advance for opinions and constructive input.

[@jonathanandrews3232]

Dear sir I am planning on getting an Evo 2, If you were going to buy one which which would you get the evo2 pro, Or the evo 2 with the 8k and why, I saw your vid on the difference between the 2 I'm curious about your decision on what you would do And why would you make that choice

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@jonathanandrews3232 The PRO is like the DJI MAVIC 2 PRO and is designed for people who are photographers who know how to operate a camera. Since you are asking the question (a pro photographer would not ask that question), my guess is you would then be happy with the 8K. Please be aware that AUTEL is changing the chipset inside the drones due to problems with chip supply so they should be selling off the older versions at a lower price over the next few months, if not already.

[@jonathanandrews3232]

That's the reason that I have been kind of a toss up between the 2 I have been into photography since I was a young Teenager And I thoroughly enjoy it From my camera I actually use a cannon, In the last 3 years I was in high school the end goal they actually paid for my film and I did all the photography for the annual, So I have been into photography for quite some time that's the reason I was asking you this question, And thank you so much for your great videos they are so much in depth with such a good smooth sounding voice, I would like to share with you that I have a light seizure disorder so that's the reason I like flying drones so much because they will sit and hover if I ever do have one, I must say though taking an early retirement I truly dearly miss work, I was a casino guard at 1 time, Never a dull moment lol

Steve, thank you for walking me through these features. I just got the EVO II a few days ago and I've already spent 3 hours in the air and flown 15 miles in 21 flights. I owned a Spark and occasionally borrowed a Mavic Air from a buddy in the past...EVO II is an A-6 Intruder by comparison! Sometimes I could use a REO! Luckily, Autel now lets you bind a second controller so a cinematographer can control the camera while a pilot flies the aircraft! I believe only the Inspire lets you do that.

Dear Captain, your reviews are every time very nice and professional , I 'm writing from Italy and I don't know really in Canada which is the price of this Evo II but in comparison with for example DJI Mavic zoom/pro just a best camera with 8K/6K course , 7/8 minutes more of flight time but more expensive for hundreds €/US dollars/Canadian dollars ,it's just released but it no have on board the ADS-B receiver it's really difficult to understand the advantages (here in Italy you could buy a Mavic 2 zoom for 1100 € .....thanks so much in any case for this reviews Good Work 👍 p.s. personally I'm not a fun of DJI and I'm looking a really very nice drone as alternative, but with this EVO II is really hard to find the best advantages .

[@rotblu]

Excellent video A1. Which drone do you recommend for use on a boat. My main concern is the ability to recover; picture quality is secondary. So far I'm between Evo 2 pro and Mavic 2 Pro. Looking forward to your advice.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Things to keep in mind when you use a drone on a boat: - The drone needs to be able to startup on a moving platform - The pilot needs to be able to hand catch the drone - The boat will move from where the drone took off, so the drone requires a dynamic return to home to where the controller is and not the take off point. - The drone needs a long flight time. - The drone needs to be able to fly in wind gusts. DJI MAVIC 2 and AUTEL EVO 1 & II meet many of the above requirements

[@rotblu]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I know will be difficult. but what will be your choice. My,not to professional impression, is that Mavic has more, and better flying features, but I never owned one.

[@EricWillard20]

I owned the Autel Evo II Pro for two weeks before it crashed on its own catastrophically. I am a seasoned pilot with at least 50 hours flying time with DJI drones and about 4-5 with this particular drone. From the beginning the drone didn’t live up to a single standard that the company claims. The 45mph speed is (in my experience under multiple calm conditions) unachievable. The 9km distance they tout, is absolutely false…the best I ever did under optimum conditions in an open field without obstacles was about 4,500-5,000 feet (1.5km). The drone is relatively unstable in flying, I read one comment from a very prominent drone pilot that states it flies like a brick…it does. As much as I don’t like DJI’s practices and money-grubbing, their drones are the best. After my drone disconnected at less than 2,000 feet in a loosely dense urban area with no buildings exceeding 15 floors or so, it proceeded to return to home and fly directly into a building. I have video from the incident as well as a screen shot before it crashed showing the ambient light was quite sufficient. The ambient light in (this downtown) was sufficient enough to see a building several blocks away in the background and recognize exactly which one it was. DO NOT buy their drones, do some research, and despite their claims none of them are remotely true. The battery that came with the drone along with the additional one I purchased are rated at 40 minutes flight time. I understand this is under optimal conditions, but never did either come close to that figure. Each time they were fully charged with less than five charge cycles on them they showed on the app at approximately 33-34 minutes flight time and underperformed each time with less than 2-4mph winds and flying under 22mph. If you want my full review along with conversations with the company, their dodging, and their vague explanations please DM me.

They compete by making a better product at the same price, the evo 2 is absolutely insane once you get into all the nitty gritty. It's not better for "everyone" but for people that need to use it commercially for example, it's unreal. The battery life is far longer and the range is far longer, obstacle avoidance is also better. If they have some sort of software like DJI's mapping software, it will far exceed DJI imo. This will be my next drone for sure.

Wow...Really nice. Very practical, great to see features that do something fun. How about that precise landing too! Thank you for the Autel Evo II review Captain Drone!

[@Lynx-vi3bi]

I'm pretty sure it's only a 1/2" sensor though. I personally don't care about 8k or whatever if the sensor isn't big enough to handle it. Same with the Mavic Air 2. They just take "fake" 48mp photos. At 700 dollars more than the Mavic Air 2, all you get are omnidirectional sensors. For the same price, you can get a Mavic 2 Pro which has a 1" sensor, which has better low light performance than this thing or the Mavic Air 2 with their 1/2" sensor. TO get the same 1" sensor on the Evo line, you need to pay 1800. No thanks. Also, the Autel is much larger than the two drones in the way that the legs don't fold in as well.

The reason you won't see any difference is because this video was rendered at 4k. It's a pointless demonstration unless he renders a completely different video at both 6k and 8k and you also have to have an 8k monitor to support it to see any real difference.

Mavic 2 Pro has a high quality camera lens and large sensor as well as an aperture for different lighting, so it would be a better camera than the 8K EVO if you are a photographer. The EVO 2 wins in the department of having a display in the controller, fast start up times, and No Fly Zones. The 8K is perfect for when you can't get close to what you want to film and can then crop in and not lose resolution and detail. Honestly, there is no winner since they are both great at different things.

When demonstrating the voice command feature, I couldn’t help thinking for Canadian owners/operators, you have to say, “take off, eh!” 😂 (#Bob & Doug McKenzie) 🍺🌰

[@bahamadroney6768]

Wow this is the best review I’ve seen on the Evo 2. Definitely way more in depth than others, I’ll be subscribing for sure after watching.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Awesome, thank you!

[@maddmavic]

I wish i could afford one .i have a huge mavic air oackage for sale in gna sell and put toward ine i think

[@Northstar-Media]

Good review testing the Autel Evo's more useful features & some good tips. I like the graphic overlays .

[@muzikmon2267]

It doesn't have way points for a drone that expensive?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It has the best waypoints & mapping too. As noted at the very start of the video, it is in the MISSIONS tab.

[@hardtrance9]

Great review thanks. Got mine a couple of weeks ago in Mexico. Testing it today with dirtbikes using some of your hints shown here.

[@rogerthat9174]

For just about the same price for the air 2. I can buy the original evo bundle. Complete with three batteries hard case. Extra props. But should I be concerned that autel will abandon it. Like stop making updates and batteries. Like Dji does. You know the drill.

My Evo 2 is on its way and I can't wait for it to arrive. Since making the decision to buy it over all the other drones, I've continued researching all info I can get which brought me to this video. I've held a Private Pilot Certificate for decades and was astonished to hear the man who calls himself "Captain Drone", tell potential Evo 2 drone pilots that because the Evo 2 has "zero no-fly zones", it can be flown anywhere without a problem. I beg to differ! When landing an aircraft at an airport while on final approach, depending on the size/weight of the plane, landing airspeed could be anywhere from 60 on up to 120 mph plus, and hitting an object/drone 2 lbs and above would easily crash through the plane's windshield killing the pilot and possibly everyone else on board. Because of the way the Captain Drone person expressed himself during that ludicrous statement, I can't help but think he has been encouraged (possibly monetarily incentivized by Autel) to insinuate something as irresponsible as flying the Evo 2 "anywhere without a problem" including flying within a 5-mile radius of a controlled airport thus having zero concern for the safety of others. CAPTAIN DRONE SHOULD FACE RETRIBUTION FOR SPREADING SUCH A FALSE AND DANGEROUS MESSAGE.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Dear misguided Steve... For those new to the world of drones (such as yourself), confusion exists as in your mind. For everyone else watching who is knowledgeable in the drone world, they fully understood my comment as well as Autel, since the BIGGEST competition is DJI. AUTEL has a ZERO no fly zone software for the pilot for a reason that you have yet to comprehend... but you soon will. Perhaps you should speak to your local Firefighter or Search and Rescue individual who uses a drone in their everyday job and picked AUTEL for this very reason.

[@lafleurplumeria]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I'm going to guess that the majority of people contemplating a drone purchase or who, like myself, have recently purchased a drone but are not Firefighters nor Search and Rescue people; just people relying on those of you who are drone flying experienced and who want to convey practical and (more importantly) safe flying information. The words you used were: It has zero no-fly zones so it can be flown anywhere with no problem. Because there was no further explanation, at this point, I'm going to have to say that every person without drone experience who buys and flys their new Evo-2 ending in a possibly fatal mishap because of CAPTAIN DRONE leading them to believe that they were free to fly anywhere with no problem will be wanting to drag CAPTAIN DRONE into a life-changing lawsuit. Then CAPTAIN DRONE will be forced into hoping the CCP will take pity on the poor captain and will take him under their protective wing. FAT CHANCE OF THAT HAPPENING!! You should quickly find a way to issue a retraction and an apology. Don't let your ego get involved, just do the right thing.

5th honestly I never now with KZbin! Never miss a vid シ

[@gregpostdronephotography6499]

Another good review Steve. I like the parallel feature and the side view gimbal action. I worry about the pricing of all these new drones though. I bought the Mavic Mini flymore combo. I’m still trying to get comfortable with it when I can’t here it in flight. I live in a rural area, basically fields and fence rows with small bush lots 50 acres or so in size. Price of Mini was under $800.00 all in, I’d be pushing 2 grand with those larger drones. I know there’s more and better features, I really can’t justify the extra cost. Also, license is required and I don’t want to give government more money. Drivers license, boating license, dog license and then permits for this and that..I enjoy your channel and appreciate the time and your effort spent making these videos. Keep it up !

[@FarrellMcGovern]

It needs a Canadian mode...Takeoff, eh, you hoser! LOL! But seriously, it looks like a really nice drone with a great video set up.

[@galguns1]

The drone has a Hover option if loos the signal of the remote control ? Or only do the RTH ? Thank for the video

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Return to home

[@belovedLion80]

Such a dope drone. I almost want to cancel my MAVIC Air 2 and get this one. Great channel as always.

[@DanielDomainhome]

Been watching quite a few of your videos and I really appreciate your expertise. I was wondering which drone do you think is better for the money; the DJI Air 2S or the Autel Evo 2? Thank you for your time!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

For most people it is the AIR 2S. For the serious out there about filming for commercial reasons it is the AUTEL EVO II PRO

[@michaelpechthalt8627]

Hi Steve I love your videos and also the Evo because the App is user friendly, the bottom bar with camera settings is great and easy to use and the best is "No Restrictions" As you waiting for the V-Copter this month. For now I won't upgrade my Evo 1 because I think the Evo 2 is over priced. Again I really enjoy your unique reviews

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

V-COPTR is not out until the fall

[@2krazyketos]

I just got this drone and am having a problem. I keep setting it for 4k 60fps but the files on the SD are only showing up as 720p. Any thoughts

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Silly question.... but where exactly are you finding files that are 720p?
