Autel Evo 2 Obstacle Avoidance Crash Test and Dynamic Track

Autel EVO II has 12 Computer Vision Sensors to help with obstacle avoidance. After flying it for a couple weeks, I noticed that the sensors were a lot more sensitive compared to other drones. One thing I really liked, was that the side sensors were active when flying in standard manual GPS mode. In this video, I demo the side sensors and do a basic Dynamic Track run through some obstacles. I plan on doing a more challenging dynamic track test soon so make sure you subscribe to the channel to watch.

[@illusion8430]

And all of a sudden the Evo II gets all woozy when it starts tracking!

[@carltoncain9966]

I can't help but notice that DJI has a more polished up OA and tracking feature than Autel

[@dogstar7]

This is the best demonstration of EVO 2 obstacle avoidance that I have seen so far. This clearly has more active sensors than Mavic series in all flying modes. The more I see of this orange drone the more I am impressed

[@jasonpooler7043]

Thank you for this. I've been contemplating this drone and the fact that the dynamic track and avoidance is this solid I'm sold

[@4props283]

Thank you, I have an EVO pro on preorder and these videos really help in determining what to expect. This video and the battery life video have been great.

[@timothydriver6751]

Obstacle avoidance on mine actually failed mid of last year and support was not too helpful. I got an Air 2S later on and really enjoying its overall high performance.

[@futuremontagedsgn]

This is the best demonstration I have seen so far. Kudos! 🙌

[@Brywilbrywil]

Well done! Love your straight to the point practical videos! Have about two hours of time with my first drone the Mavic Mini and was looking hard at the Evo 1 but this Evo 2 is worth the wait if I step up from here. Keep’em coming!

[@PERTHWESTOZRC]

Great Active track test Aldryn, the EVO 2 performed well!

[@kentschrader3900]

Thanks for your clear and concise information. So many videos drag on and waste time; you keep it moving. Great work. Subscribed!

[@MicoGhostTheOldCodger]

Very impressive! Those sensors are a lot better than the ones on my Mavic 2 Pro. The more I see of this machine, the more I wish I had one. BUT my budget just won't allow for another drone right now.

Thanks Aldryn! Great info and test results.

[@SkyFireDrone2022]

That tracking was pretty impressive that it tracked you but avoided the fences. Maybe a little abruptly but still, it avoided fences! Gutsy test 🤓

[@idontcare1762]

This is outstanding. Big, robust, 8k, longer flight time, 360 degree obstical avoidance that works in every mode, especially in waypoint mode. This will be my next drone purchase as, sadly, I am droneless at present.

[@darrylthomas4306]

After seeing this, I am leaning more toward purchasing the Evo over the Mav. Excellent review of the obstacle avoidance system. Thanks.

[@MrZpilot]

Autel really knocked it out of the park with this one!

[@Joey.Alford]

Ahh I see what you did there

[@antdx316]

He didn't use trees for a reason.

That drone looks like a Black & Decker tool

[@theguyinthehelmet1875]

You mean "cheap"? Not knocking, but that's how I see Black and Decker tools... 🙄

[@Glen.Danielsen]

Stephen Lozano I think a reciprocating saw pops out the front so can cut path through trees to keep up with Skydio 2.

[@mont357]

Stephen Lozano I thought the same thing , that thing is huge and ugly from the side , looks very thick and big, the Mavic is sexy and compact not ugly like this thing..

[@squirtle88]

great video. im going to start saving up for one!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Great test! Nice to see the improvements. Only item that I noticed was that the obstacle avoidance in follow mode (dynamic track) is very abrupt and not cinematic looking. That is an easy fix for Autel to tweak over the coming months.

[@johnrobb3275]

Exactly the vid I wanted to see right now, thanks! Next time though, when you have the EVOII near a chain link fence I'd love to see you check it more specifically against the chain link, and specifically not the poles that hold the chain link. It would be uberinformative to see you fly it toward the center of the chain-linked square farthest away from the fence poles to see how well it specifically avoids the actual chain link. Next test would be chicken wire... barbed wire... :D

[@Glen.Danielsen]

This is an excellent demonstration and analysis. Extreme closeups of the device and narration are very helpful, outstanding. Thanks so much! Cheers, God bless.

[@CaptureLifeConnection]

Glen M. Danielsen agreed

[@cmaciasjimenez]

Looks very promising. Thank sfor the video!

Thank you excellent demo and drone. I must save my money to get this.

[@FlytPath]

Enjoy!

[@MetroDrones]

Good review man... Take care!

[@donmcadams4291]

The Dynamic Track is definitely better than Evo 1 and is great to see it raise and lower elevation for obstacles. Would like to see it track up an elevation. Maybe just add that in a future tracking video. Thanks for all the great content!

[@JakeSloan]

Autel is going to kill it with this release if they can deliver. They are def giving DJI some stiff competition which is great. Also thanks for filming this in 24fps, by brain and eyes are so much more happy 😜

[@silbay]

A company that sells in 2 years what DJI sells in a week will never give DJI any kind of competition.

[@dronereviewman9580]

This is my DREAM DRONE!!!! I would rather have this then any Dji mavic!! I just love the no flight restrictions and the range pulse obstacle avoidance!!!!! Only problem.....it is just to expensive for the normal person!! Great Review!!!!!!!!

[@squirtle88]

I disagree, for a dream drone... the price makes sense. Hopefully in 5 years when this tech is more common and there is more competition, we will be able to pick up something similar to this for say the price of a mavic mini.

[@user-bl4oq7fd8d]

Lets see what the mavic 3 has to offer first ;)

It won't be able to keep up. It will lose the subject because it relies on sight, not signal like the Skydio 2 using the beacon.

[@modsolodrone]

Hello Aldryn, great test today. EVO 2 appeals to me more and more, even if I find that it's a little below the Pro 2 for video quality. But it may be due to KZbin compression! I can't wait to see more. I like very much your videos, but be careful when you run in reverse, you don't have sensors 😁! Sincerely, Laurent from France 🇫🇷

[@b2bmail]

Oh Man, I was expecting a crash!

[@andrewap77]

Very impressive, I cant wait till I get mine on the release day?

[@skycam509]

Nice test! When I first saw the backstop I was like, "fly it toward that!" Would you say this drone is an upgrade from the Mavic 2 Pro? Thanks!

[@Tech-gx3ng]

I think the smoothness of the panning could be improved but should be easy with software updates

[@flyineyeaerialfpv5592]

They did fix this i do believe

[@mickeymch876]

You can adjust the EXP and smoothness of yaw, brake, left and right, forward and reverse, adjust the gimbal pitch smoothness and in the explorer app you have precision flight and dual stability. I have my EVO 2 flying like a stick of soft butter flying through the air. Now if I can only learn how to use a camera I might be able to make a decent video.

[@lowhombre]

I’m liking what I see. Great review aldryn, when are they going to be available for the consumers to buy?

[@bigtoolgarry]

You can preorder now from various places. I ordered my Evo II rugged bundle from advexure.com and they told me they will get shipment tomorrow, March 16th. I'm thinking they will start going out to customers thereafter.

It is very easy to solve the problem of loss of focus, even today I sent to Autel how to resolve this issue quickly and easily.

[@wcrowe75]

For all you guys who are new to Autel and are thinking about how much this could be improved with software updates. I'm an Evo owner and the updates we've been clamoring for for over a year still haven't come to fruition, even though some of them would be VERY easy to implement. Autel is pretty bad about delivering substantial updates, even though we do get updates every few months. That said, I think i'm going to buy the Evo 2, just wanted to set some expectations.

[@mdpocoroba]

@@ciaranh5907 It's required for certain inspections.

[@miquaelmiquael1079]

@@ciaranh5907 I don't think that's true sir. I have been flying drones for years and have accidentally hit lines on more than a few occasions. They're not always visible on your monitor - sometimes not until it's too late. No one fly's into them On Purpose. One of the main challenges of drones equipped with APAS and obstacle avoidance sensors, is it's effectiveness with detecting smaller tree branches and specifically Power Lines - In fact, depending on where you live and fly, it's nearly Impossible NOT to have to watch out for them. I fly the Skydio 2, Mavic 2 Pro Zoom, the Mavic Air and the Phantom 4 Pro (which all have avoidance systems). I was just wondering how the new EVO 2 compared to these other drones when it came to avoiding what Most drone pilots have always made adjustments for. But there is no current ordnance pertaining to Flying Near Power Lines. Truth is; most pilots go through great lengths to Avoid Them At All Cost, Anyway - So why would there be a law requiring drone pilots to avoid something that we avoid any way? And finally, here is a link from a DJI message board addressing safety, when flying near them. forum.dji.com/thread-119590-1-1.html feel free to Google it - or just enter "drone vs power lines"" here on KZbin - to see why I asked about the EVO 2's ability to detect them in the first place.

[@ciaranh5907]

@@miquaelmiquael1079 CAA have prepared some important safety tips for flying drones: 1. Always keep your drone in sight so that you can see and avoid things while flying. 2. Look out for electricity substations and overhead power lines. Make sure you always fly more than 50 metres from them, as well as from people and properties.

[@miquaelmiquael1079]

@@ciaranh5907 I get that sir - and I whole-heartily agree.. In a perfect world. I know that we're SUPPOSED to keep our drones within Line Of Sight - but we all prefer the drones with the greatest range. We use features like Way-points, Asteroid, Orbit and Boomerang - where we clearly have less control over the paths our drones will cover - Not all the time - but MOST of the time. And most us have flown further than L.O.S. The average pilot can't see an object the size of a Mavic if it's a half mile away (and it's range is much greater than that), still; most pilots will exploit that range at one time or another. We're also not speaking of Power Stations. We're talking about Power Lines - which are also very hard to see from even a modest distances. They're sometimes just unavoidable - which is why we appreciate Obstacle Avoidance to begin with. I was just disputing your post that stated "You are not allowed to fly anywhere near power lines." "Not Allowed.." is simply not true. That's like saying there's a Law that says: "You're Not Allowed to Fly your drone too close to a Raging Fire.." The FCC wouldn't need to create that ordnance, because there wouldn't be enough pilots doing it. We pay way too much for our drones to intentionally risk Melting them from the heat - or flying them into Power Lines.

[@jollyrogerhobbies2386]

Many people are complaining about the looks of the Evo II. Some say it looks like a Black and Decker power tool, others like it is construction equipment. For me it is function over form. Id rather have all those options and have it preform over it looking good. After all, when looking through the Camera or reviewing the footage, you can't see the drone. so who cares what it looks like. How about the DJI phantom? it is not sleek or good looking, but it does preform. This drone by far out preforms them all. It combines the Sky Duo 2, the Phantom and the Mavic 2 pro all in one great flying machine, then turns around and improves on that combo! overall, i'm in love with the Evo II. Wish I could afford it.
