First Time Flying A Drone | AUTEL EVO

[@dunnadidit]

Have you ever flown a drone? Did you hone your skills alone? Were you prone to moan when gusts of wind had blown? *thank you I'll be here all week*

[@CNMTCFilms]

😂👌🏼 Yes, I have an old BladeChroma with the FullHD camera, it is okay, but... only auto settings. But the main drawback is that it somehow isn't working🙁 It turns very slowly even though it's in fast mode😐 And yes, I honed the skills myself, not cloned the skills myself😂

[@sxanee5162]

Yes i own a DJI Mavic Air. I love it!

[@demo1545]

WHAT ABOUT OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE SENSOR FEATURE ?

[@shotbycoudjo]

Dunna posts a new video: Me: clicks like before even watching because you have never made a bad video. well done my guy.

[@dunnadidit]

Haha you're too kind! Thanks!

[@BurkeCullinane]

Same!

[@NewDayOutdoors]

A fellow Autel Evo owner here. I love the thing.

[@dunnadidit]

Nice! I’m loving it so far too! Now I just need to fly it more!

[@Tigerhawk311]

just the rugged package cant wait to get it up in the air my first drone ever thanks for the video

[@bugatti314159]

Been flying for about 5 years off and on. Started with a full manual Walkera Phantom knock-off and some micro drones. The Walkera was fast and fun but never had the camera on it so I could only fly around close. Went through several garbage drones like Holy Stone, Xiaomi, etc before the Tello came out. I love that one for flying around the house and playing with flight programming. Finally bought the Evo recently and love it so far. It practically flies itself and is impressively quiet. I just hope I don't encounter any of the massive bugs some users are reporting. If I do I'm trading it for a Mavic.

[@dunnadidit]

That’s great to know that someone with more drone experience is liking the Evo too! Hopefully it keeps working well for you. I think they’ve been rolling out lots of firmware updates to keep things tip top!

[@BrianTheCameraGuy]

Never had the chance to fly a drone. Looked like a lot of fun. Maybe some day it would make sense to get one, just don't have a practical use for one right now. Thanks Dunna.

[@dunnadidit]

I totally hear this. I'm looking into getting the proper certification to actually do some commercial work to make it a bit more worth it! Glad you liked the video!

[@BrianTheCameraGuy]

@@dunnadidit that sounds like a plan. Hopefully someday I get to that point where I could do some side business off KZbin. Sounds like it would be some good fun.

[@dunnadidit]

Something to work towards hey!

[@KardosoMedia]

Nice buddy! The Evo has a great camera..look forward to more video with it :)

[@dunnadidit]

Agreed! I was so stoked when I got to editing the footage, I can’t wait to do more with it!

[@BurkeCullinane]

I love this intro! So well cut together, gives me a really feel good vibe!

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks brother! Any excuse to get on the onewheel.

[@SixBlindKids]

Dad here. I've never flown a drone before, but I think I could handle this. You made it look pretty easy! 🙌👍

[@dunnadidit]

It was actually much more simple than I thought!

[@SixBlindKids]

@@dunnadidit Thanks. I reached out to Autel and mentioned your video. I was just going to go with a Mavic since that's what all my KZbin people use and recommend.

[@dunnadidit]

Thats great that you reached out to them! Thanks for mentioning me!

[@SixBlindKids]

Dunna Did It I actually got a reply too, so we’ll see!

[@DiscoverLifeMedia]

Make sure you keep posting more videos like this!

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks so much! I’ll try, but they probably won’t be about drones since they changed all the drone laws in Canada 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ryans_life]

Great video Dunna.BTW you look great, leaner. Back to the drone. Very impressive camera and feature set; it comes in awesome orange! Have a great day

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks Ryan! Yeah it’s a killer piece of kit!

[@RoccoGermani]

The Autel Evo seems like an incredible drone for a great price. I'm sick of DJI and their bad customer support and many other things, so I'm saving up to buy the Evo. Great video!

[@dunnadidit]

It really is a great piece of gear to have and looking at the market... the value is there for sure. I think we're gonna see a lot more orange in the sky soon 😉

[@RoccoGermani]

@@dunnadidit Yeah I think it's awesome that it can do 4K60, the Mavic 2 Pro can't do that despite being the same price as the Phantom 4 Pro which could. I'm excited to see what you do with this drone and am looking forward to more videos!

[@dunnadidit]

Absolutely! Like I said in the video, 4k60 has been pretty rare until now!

[@dardesar777viva]

What! no Hat!! :D Great Video btw

[@dunnadidit]

I KNOW I KNOW!! WHO AM I!!!??? haha, cant wear the hat when I'm rocking the helmet on the Onewheel. That and I got a hair cut finally so I wanted to show it off 🤣 Thanks for watching! Glad you liked it!

how have I missed this video? I have the bell on... mmmh. very nice video and awesome info Dunna, thank you so much.

[@dunnadidit]

That darn unreliable bell! Well, it only came out yesterday so you’re not too far behind 😉 thanks for watching Violet!

[@VioletHenning]

So i used your name in my video about my failure to do cinematic video on my smartphone. I hope you dont mind buddy. Or i will owe you a big favor some time... 😁

[@dunnadidit]

Of course I don’t mind! Thanks for the lil shout!

[@리키스-w9z]

Congratulations!!! From now on, you're perfect youtuber, you've got everything👍👍👍 and as you said,flying a drone, it looks like a video game🤗🤗

[@dunnadidit]

Haha! I'm so basic now. I feel like a meme lol!

[@ChrisKoehn]

I have one of those little Mavic Air drones. Thanks for reminding me to review the updated regulations in Canada!

[@dunnadidit]

Nice! Yep, June 1st you gotta get at least basic certification 😁

[@jhendra83]

I brought my Evo to Utah to get some great videos of some the national parks (restricted area lol) and my first mistake was forgetting to calibrate the gimbal.

[@dunnadidit]

Oh, what happened in the end?

[@jhendra83]

@@dunnadiditcamera was just slightly tilted to the left but still great. I drove just few miles out of Bryce Canyon till I got a clear to fly from the Airmap app. No geofencing so I can basically fly it anywhere lol.

[@DavideTorchiaPh]

Wow! 🤩

[@dunnadidit]

Pretty cool hey!?

[@seanholladay7915]

That drone is dope!

[@dunnadidit]

The little orange fury!!

[@CNMTCFilms]

Hyped! 😍 foldable drones are so awesome☺️ P.S.: damn, first view, like and comment lol😂

[@dunnadidit]

It's pretty incredible that this powerful piece of kit folds down into a tiny little space. So awesome! Also, congratulations on your punctuality!

[@CNMTCFilms]

Dunna Did It yes! How does the Evo handle heat management?😉 Haha thanks😂

[@dunnadidit]

I didn’t get any overheating symbols and I ran it through 3 batteries making this video.

[@travismcbride5816]

BEST drone around!!!

[@dunnadidit]

I’m still deciding on a name for mine. I’m thinking something like “little orange fury” or “sky fire”

[@lilafromyoutube]

The other day, I was looking at the map that shows where drones are allowed in the Netherlands and basically where I live it's completely useless. Too bad, because it would be super cool to shoot some stuff with a drone, but yeah better for my wallet, that's for sure. I think your footage looked pretty cool, definitely for using it the first time!

[@dunnadidit]

Haha yeah, it’s pretty tough here too. You have to be a certain distance from airports and helipads, and not over people, but most big national and provincial parks also have a no fly policy... so it can be a bit tricky but there are some gaps and I found a cool interactive map on the govt of Canada site that helped a lot.

[@sofiagalvan6592]

Now you can buy a mavic mini whivh is a professional great long distance drone n bc it's size n weight no registration is needed

[@MariuszGajdzik]

4k 60p looks great and its defo useful. Seems like a great drone, good to see something from DJI competition :)

[@dunnadidit]

100%. I’m so stoked on the quality out of this thing. Market competition is good for us!

[@MarlonKingShow]

I wish I printed a check list. Literally took my first flight in wind, very scary

[@dunnadidit]

It started to get windy at the end of my first time. I was pretty blown away(pun intended) by how well the evo could hold up against the wind.

[@mangeshshetkar2765]

Hey Dunna ! I watch all your video and they are really awesome. I recently bought Sony a6400 and i want to buy spare batteries for it. So should i go for the original Sony batteries (which are really expensive) or should i go for third party. If your answer is third party then can you suggest me any brand and if possible can you make review video of that. Thank you !

[@dunnadidit]

Definitely go third party, I’ve never had any issues. I talked about a dual battery charger that I love in one of my videos here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJeclYmjn7N2h7M

[@mangeshshetkar2765]

​@@dunnadidit ​which brand will be good ? DSTE or RAVpower?

[@dunnadidit]

I use dste but I’ve had some ravpower products before and they were good too!

[@obiecolumbus1568]

Looks like fun, I haven't flown one yet but planning on getting one some day. The restrictions (Laws) is what I'm looking at for the mean time. But will study it and know the safe zones to fly.

[@dunnadidit]

It most definitely was! And yes, very important to understand your restrictions!

[@tommybierens]

Great video 👍👌

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks Tommy! I appreciate it!

[@리키스-w9z]

Incredible!!. I was like a prophet🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I'll leave a comment again after I watch this video

[@dunnadidit]

Haha! I couldn't even believe the timing on your comment yesterday! SOOOO FUNNY!

[@randomkid87photography73]

Yes I have flowen a Dji and a mavic spark

[@dunnadidit]

Nice! did you enjoy it?

[@AFTERMATHRC]

Just bought my rugged bundle and got it delivered charged the batteries and a couple of days later I chose to get some maiden flights in and the batteries were all the same about 54%. So I flew each one messing with camera settings and what not until 25% alarm and charged them again now is this common or do they begin to discharge immediately after charge or do I have to get more cycles on it? Also iOS won’t get update I’m going to try and manually update. Thanks for the video I hit like and subscribe.

[@dunnadidit]

I have noticed that my batteries will discharge, but usually thats if I've let them sit for weeks or months. I usually try to charge em up the night before just in case now.

[@oldBASgold]

👍👍

Haha it’s coming! Slowly but surely!

[@makuq6433]

@@dunnadidit that's great!

I think it was going higher because of the fact that I wanted to return to home which brings it high enough to no hit trees and stuff😌

[@CNMTCFilms]

Dunna Did It my pleasure 😇

[@valkyrievic]

Cool video.. my first Yunnec H and this is my 2nd one. I love both my drones but lately I haven't fly it but yup just flew my autel just naw.

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks!

[@Perfektliflawedd]

So, what are you going to do now that the laws changed in Canada?

[@dunnadidit]

Follow the rules and get my certification! It’s not that bad to get the basic certification. The advanced one is hard but all the things that the advanced certification gets you, you couldn’t do before without certification anyway. I think people are making a bigger deal than it is 😉

[@Perfektliflawedd]

@@dunnadidit, we have similar laws going into effect here in the U.S. I have a basic permit, but apparently I need to get a similar certification if I want to use my footage to make money. Doesn't seem that awful, just time consuming. Any idea if U.S. licenses are tranferrable to Canada?

[@dunnadidit]

Yeah I have been contemplating getting an advanced license to be able to offer it as a service, especially since the market is officially scarce now, but it’s a lot of work. I’m not sure if they’ll be transferable! I don’t know how similar the rules are tbh.

[@Perfektliflawedd]

@@dunnadidit, hopefully they come up with some sort of qualifying program for non-citizens or it will pigeonhole the market even more. I know here in the U.S. you have to go to a physical location to take the actual exam, and from what I have read it is similar in Canada.

[@dunnadidit]

Yeah no doubt! I just took my basic exam online and it was pretty straight forward. It’s open book so you just have to double check everything. I think the advanced exam you can do online but then you also have to do a flight test in person or something too. Who knows where this will all go!

[@BurkeCullinane]

Gimme that case, I'll do the mountain test.

[@dunnadidit]

Haha you would! I can see it now... “Monday Challenge, can I hike a mountain to throw a case off of it?”

@@dunnadidit DUUUUUUUDE!

[@qualudia1]

So... did Autel give you the Drone to review and then you had to give it back??

[@dunnadidit]

Autel sponsored this video to I was paid and given the drone... I specifically made this not my typical review and more of an overview/first use type of video for that reason. Hope that answers your questions!

[@qualudia1]

@@dunnadidit You got an incredible drone that's for sure. You are very lucky.

[@DougEfresh.]

You don't show anything about setting it up and compass calibration or anything which a first timer needs to know.

[@dunnadidit]

Well I guess I didn’t know that since it was my first time ever flying it too! Definitely wasn’t intended to be an instructional video.

[@DougEfresh.]

@@dunnadidit well you're not the only one. I've watched several videos, all that I can find, and none of them have the compass calibration. Pretty weird

[@dunnadidit]

I also don’t think I’ve ever done that with my Autel drone at all haha. And it’s never been an issue.

[@DougEfresh.]

@@dunnadidit ok maybe it automatically sets the home point. I guess autel calibrates it in the factory, but it's not like other GPS drones where you do a compass calibration to set the home point. Pretty strange.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[@RyanN880EP]

& oh yeah dude. How about let's tattoo our NECKS😮this stupid life bs' LOOK AT ME' s--t has gotten ridiculous

[@Johns-qr7ek]

The Autel evo is a good drone but not as good as the mavic 2 Series and never will be Autel has a long way to go the drone came out about a year ago and they still don't have a charger for it that's ridiculous just like the xstar and look what happened to that discontinued my opinion is It's A step above the mavic pro miles from the mavic 2 Series and always will be

[@dunnadidit]

Interesting take thanks for sharing! From what I’ve been seeing, a lot of people are thinking of the Evo as a pretty direct competitor to the Mavic 2 lineup, especially with the built in pled screen and 4k 60fps so its interesting to hear someone think otherwise. I’m not sure what you mean about the charger thing? I have a charger for my evo batteries 🤔

[@Johns-qr7ek]

@@dunnadidit Autel never came out with a multiple battery charger and no third party has either

[@dunnadidit]

Oh a multiple battery charger... I understand now. Sorry, you didn't say that in the first one so I was confused.

[@dunnadidit]

Good news! They just released a 4 battery charging station! Looks awesome!

Multi-chargers are available... look at the accessory section on their website. Don't base your current knowledge on old information.
