Is the AUTEL EVO still relevant in 2019? My Thoughts

[@JL-wm1vr]

Love my EVO. Been flying since it was released. The “No flight restrictions” sold me. Better than DJI Imo.

[@KamillaRobert]

what is No flight restrictions?

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

With a Dji drone it will check the area you are flying in and won't let you takeoff or fly into an area that has restrictions. With the Evo you can takeoff and fly anywhere. It also doesn't limit you to an altitude of 400 feet. You can go into the settings and allow it to go to 1,600 feet.

[@leewilliamson3265]

Pretty sure I chimed in when this post first went out. Still have and love my Evo 1 among other drones. It is still my favorite when it comes to picture quality. The drone is solid and reliable! I think my longest flight was 1.5 miles and surely could have flown much further. Not a single problem during flight operations! Only issue I ran into years later were the failing batteries but once replaced, this bird was ready to go! Because of the way Autel divested in the Evo 1, I have no confidence in Autel and as nice as the new Nano series are, I still just don't trust Autel! Tempting but so far, they are a NO for me. Also, enjoying my Mavic Air 2 series drones at this time. Thanks Captain Drone for your sharing and kindness!

[@Matanumi]

Yeah man it just doesn't seem like they support these or that they last as long

[@Zmaro]

Congratulations on the videos! I've been flirting with EVO for a long time, it sounds like a great drone, but like many Brazilians, the fear is of buying and being isolated without parts and assistance / support here in Brazil. For his price you can't risk it right now

[@aiscforlandollc7369]

Thanks for the update. We have been considering get an Evo to add to our fleet in the next month or so, and it's good to see it might be a decent investment. We will need it for those times our DJI drones won't let us fly, although we have all of the appropriate LAANC approvals (did that to us on a job recently). Enjoy the weather!

[@michaelpechthalt8627]

Nice video Steve. I like your videos because are easy to understand the features of any drones. I bought my Evo almost a year ago on black friday and I got a free On the go kit with 2 batteries, case and props. For me the best feature of my Evo is no restrictions like NFZ. You are free to fly it any where. It has great camera and a decent fly time 22 to 24 minutes

[@pds4184]

Great video Cap! Thanks for taking the time to make it!

[@dalepremo3695]

Stunning video, Cap'n, well done! I've had the EVO for about 10 months and am very pleased with it. I did have that issue that some have had with the tiny cracks in the controller antennae (even though I am extremely gentle and careful with it), but Autel's excellent support group repaired it under warranty and the problem has not resurfaced. I find the EVO a fantastic drone and if you watch for sales and bundles, you can get it for a very good price. Thanks for the updated review.

[@kayberry6292]

Great stuff, Cap'n! Surprised you didn't mention the new boat take-off feature as you were in the right place for it. When I'm playing EVO 4K footage on my 5K 27in Retina iMac screen, passing family members stop and watch in awe: you have to see the quality of the footage straight out of the camera in order to appreciate it as KZbin downgrades it of course.

[@michaelburnett9438]

I just bought the Evo Fly More Combo for $750 used 5 times. Flies great. Fly time. Stability. Distance. Features. It's great! Looking for the best way to fly FPV as I'm sure I'll find a way soon!

[@skylers1144]

Any drone would still be relevant, if it continues to fit your needs. My prehistoric Phantom 3 still performs great.

[@WheresMyKeysAt]

Thanks for the review Cap, maybe Autel's next drone will have a digital zoom on it for people who want something between a Parrot and Mavic Zoom. Love that the Evo has a screen built in so I don't have to pull out my phone every time.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The current EVO has a digital Zoom but it is not a lossless zoom so not of any photographic use.

[@Glenrsi]

Fantastic video quality and beautiful scenery, Steve. Wow! Really nice drone as well.

[@rcpilot1565]

Captain I've watched your videos several times, always great and helpful reviews. I just got my Evo about a month ago. I love it. Have several flights already. Autel has the best customer service too. I also have a Typhoon H Pro.

[@snagswolf]

In October of 2018 I began researching which drone I wanted to buy. Originally, my first choice was a Phantom, but then I switched over to a Mavic. Then I heard about the EVO, which made me reconsider everything. Six months later, after watching tons of KZbin videos (including Captain Drone's) and reading a multitude of forum posts, I pulled the trigger and bought the EVO. After flying the EVO for over 6 months, I haven't regretted that decision at all. It's an incredibly stable drone, and I love the video (even though I very rarely use the 60fps). I bought a tablet to use with it, but to be honest, I enjoy using the controller's screen more. So much less hassle. On the downside, I wish they'd add more features to the app, and the new battery charger was a disappointment in that it doesn't charge all 4 batteries at the same time. And the phone holder is a little too flimsy for a tablet. It feels like it's going to snap off if I move the controller too fast. On the upside (the WAY upside), I've never encountered any of the issues I see on a regular basis in DJI forums. Flyaways, return-to-home into water, losing signal, drones going out of control, incorrect geo-fencing, inconvenient upgrades, compass calibrations, and complaint after complaint about DJI's customer service. The more I see all of that, the more I realize I made the right choice. Thanks, Captain Drone, for helping to steer me in the right direction.

[@n6six_videos]

Purchased my Autel Evo and it is still relevant to me. I Iove the video quality and flying this bird is just plain fun. Yeah, it has its quirks, but the "perfect" consumer grade drone has yet to be produced. I imagine that perfection would come with a hefty price tag. I'll keep my Evo, thanks!

[@jeremycox9963]

[@jeremycox9963]

jonah orr I do not mind talking about it. I got the bundle with the hard carrying case, the additional carrying bag with 2 extra batteries, it came with 5 batteries total, and there was an additional 100 e gift card from Best Buy that came with it. I paid 1,079 before taxes.

[@jdog1342]

still relevant! best drone I've ever owned. Not much to improve on!

[@droningharry]

while I ended up not buying it, I still like it a lot. I got the Mavic Air because the Fly More Bundle was on sale at Best Buy and it had what I wanted except 4K at 60FPS. I felt like DJI would back the Air a little better as well. Spending 899.00 verses 1399.00 for their bundle enabled me to get the Osmo Pocket which I had wanted for a while and that was well worth the money. So all in all I thought it came out very well. Great video Steve.

[@BAMDrones-MichaelBelshe]

I've had my Evo for about a month now and I love it. One thing I just noticed is I do not have the VR option like you do. However in the Mission section you only have the rectangular route. I have rectangular, waypoint flight, and polygon route. I don't think I'd ever fly VR, however I'd like the option. It is an amazing drone and I just love flying it. Thanks for the great review!

[@blakenicholson905]

Looking back we weren't expecting the autel evo 2 8k! That's for sure.

[@bryantturner97]

Though no drone is perfect all around, the Evo stands its ground. The Mavic 2 Zoom is my preferred quad simply because it allows me to get better close up appearing shots from further away allowing me to film somewhat more discreetly. The zoom on the Evo is respectable up to 2X, but beyond that magnification, the image quality progressively degrades to unacceptability. Not really fair to compare on that level as the Evo does not have a moving lens and rightly so at that price point. My other gripe about the Evo is that flimsy camera cover /protector which I think they could easily improve. Those gripes aside, there have been many a time where I needed a good clean safe shot and my Mavic 2 Zoom often won't start due to hugely incorrect circular NFZ restrictions. Depending where you live, this can be a significant problem as it is here in Southern California's congested areas, and there is not always time to legally unlock to get the shot. But the Evo always comes through. Knowing I can depend on it in all practicality makes it a much more relevant & useful tool for me.

[@theurbanartist775]

bryantturner97 how is the Evo’s range in urban areas? Does it compare to occusync?

[@bryantturner97]

@@theurbanartist775 Evo's range in urban areas is comparatively pretty good though I'd definitely give occusync the edge. I'd put the Evo at about 80% of what you'd get out of occusyn....and then we're talking out of eyesight distances anyway, so not sure it really matters so much on a practical level.

Hard fact for those who want to get the Evo in the EU is it will end up being more expensive than the Mavic 2 pro Zoom via Amazon after their amazing ~$350 import duty/taxes.

[@bugatti314159]

Overall I like my Evo but I'd like to see more improvements in the firmware. Some issues I have so far - 1. The video auto exposure is horrible, constantly blasting out highlights with only minor lighting changes. I don't use it much. And using manual exposure with the fixed aperture lens means you absolutely need a set of good ND filters to get high quality video. 2. There is no wind detection so if I am out of audible motor range I can't tell if the drone is fighting a headwind. This could be a major issue since winds aloft are frequently far different than ground winds. 3. Tracking mode could be improved. It loses a subject fairly easily with quick direction changes. And it won't track with altitude. 4. Precision landing seems to be a bit random. Sometimes it hits the landing pad dead center and sometimes it's two or three feet off. I usually land manually if I'm in rocky or uneven terrain since I can't trust the auto landing. It seems to lose accuracy when changing modes from Precision to Standard then back to Precision. 5. Time lapse selections could be improved. They need slower speeds and shorter exposure intervals to make smooth video possible without extensive post correction.

I bought mine from the Australian distributor early this year, but not sure what’s happening here now.

Regardless of the built in tech and advances that have been made in the industry the majority of the higher end consumer drones will still perform wonderfully and should do so for quite some time. As long as the drone performs well and does everything you need it to do you should be fine. Unless something groundbreaking happens and some insane new features arrive I think they will all remain relevant.

One could hope that the price would go lower, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Autel did indeed announce a price increase, but they are holding back as best they can. I believe that the Autel EVO is a better deal than the Mavic 2 Zoom because of the $900.00 price difference when similarly equipped.

I heard Autel may be raising their prices Oct 1st so waiting for Black Friday might not pan out. I bought mine a couple weeks ago and got a great package deal, 4 batteries, charging hub, extra set of propellers, SD card. The only way to make this drone irrelevant is if they somehow reposition the blades and let the gimbal rotate upwards past 0 degrees.

First flights was quick and video and stills look very good. Like the no flight restrictions as well. In my opinion, DJI goes too far in restricting and monitoring locations.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Pretty much only international drone companies have NFZ due to selling around the world. The smaller companies like AUTEL which sell in a tiny number of countries (3 or 4 at most) have no such restrictions but as soon as they go international (if they ever do), then the flight restrictions will come.

[@robweaver1075]

Great! Unfortunately, they are just distributors vice an AUTEL office which means it could be here today, gone tomorrow, but it certainly is a good start. Do they also handle all AUTEL service repairs?

[@AFTERMATHRC]

I would like to add that Autel is suing DJI not the other way around and it isn’t due to cosmetics but hardware and software. The specifics are related to the dynamic range with the obstacle avoidance just to be clear. Then DJI got very nervous about this and was in development of cloud based transferring of the videos and photos so they got Microsoft involved and now Microsoft is backing DJI on the lawsuit. I think more is at play there but we will find out with the rest of the world. The other thing in the lawsuit is the quick release on the Phantom series. They are claiming patent infringement. So I am a subscriber I really enjoy your videos keep up the good work and look forward to some new stuff in the future. Thanks again.

Hmmm, I am in a bit of a bind here... I love my Evo, but after 16 months with regular flying, the battery seems to be failing. I am very concerned about this. Is this a problem with the Autel Evo System? Any chance you can collect comments from those of us that have really been flying them for this past year plus to find out how the batteries are doing? Is 90 flights a reasonable life for this battery? Are my expectations for a 200 flights unreasonable? Any help you can be on this issue would be appreciated.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Lipo batteries do not have a set lifespan because it all depends on the user. If you drain it, charge it when warm, store it for long periods, use it in different temps, etc (which is all normal) the lifespan of how much flight time you get and how much voltage is available to the drone will diminish. In the world of FPV RACE QUADS we buy batteries like they are going out of stock. We have professional charge and balance systems, and most times we are lucky if we get one season of flying out of any ten batteries. So to answer your question.... there is nothing wrong with the battery. It's time to invest in some new ones.

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you for the reply, I just received my evo rugged bundle yesterday so I'm excited to get to flying. I'll give it a try.

Which part of Canada? The scene is awesome. Love to have one but no sales support in Asia.

Hey Cap, my company is looking to upgrade drones. Budget of probably up to $1,000 ish. Primary use would be construction project progress, roof inspections and down the road(I know not for under $1,000) surveying. Any advice on the best drone? Primarily looking for camera quality. Thanks

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Sounds like you will keep the drone nearby so you don't need range. Inspections require a camera with zoom. The parrot ANAFI has Zoom. The Mavic 2 Zoom has Obstacle Avoidance + Camera Zoom. The ANAFI is in your price range & a used DJI Mavic 2 Zoom may also work. Other options are the AUTEL EVO 1. (it has a digital zoom and forward obstacle avoidance).

Dji Now you have a rival, and it is better for the quality of shooting, range and flight time, and the price is adequate, 4k 60 fps, Cool drone 5+

[@jhendra83]

The only problem with this drone is that sometimes I got to see the props flying forward. So it's better to tilt your camera a bit down. Love my Evo. I picked up the rugged version with 2 extra batteries so total of 5 batteries and I'm all set lol.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

An ND Filter will help with removing props from the image

Good day captian very nice video and drone but out of my price rang lol thanks again for great info

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

LOL.. it's a bit high for me too... But if I'm going to get something to do what I want, it's actually the most inexpensive... If only they were $200, perhaps $300.... I'm saving my pennies!!

[@shannonnealbrown]

I might have to try this one out thanks for the vedio *****

[@victorsadauskas2121]

I just took my Evo on the first flight had lot of fun I was surprised how quiet it was I only charge up one of my batteries left the other 2 at home I was kicking myself for not charging my other 2 batteries Mavic air was my favorite one I think that will change

[@kevinhemming26]

The Evo is my next drone purchase, and i have known that for a while. But i noticed in this video the greens looked a bit dull maybe due to a overcast day or a high blue content , is it possible to adjust the colours to warmer in the Evo ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, you can adjust the white balance to a kelvin scale.

[@keithspurlock4732]

It's 2021 and I have an opportunity to buy a used Evo with 3 batteries in case and original box. Good shape. Still good or should I look for newer versions? What would be good price to offer for the Evo? Currently flying a Dji Spark.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Probably $600 or less.

Enjoy your videos, I am thinking about getting a drone but worried it may become one of those items that just sits around the house so initially I don't want to spend a lot of money I am a little more interested in pictures versus video I don't have any video editing experience nor do I have the time to learn right now which drone would you recommend for taking nice pictures

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The EVO takes good photos as do many other drones in a similar price range.

[@gdvsev]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I am seeing pricing for the Evo around $1000, is there a less expensive machine that can take decent pictures.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@gdvsev Surprisingly the DJI Spark takes great photos.
