--------------------
About me (the guy behind the cryptic three T's):
my name is Tom David Frey. I'm half Swiss and half German and have lived in many fantastic places, from the United States to Israel. Somehow cool.
My age? Well, it rapidly changes. But you can surely do the math: I was born in 1992, somewhere in a small town in mid-Rhineland-Palatinate.
Now the relevant things you came here for: I have a strong passion for cameras and drones. I got my first Sony at the age of six and started my own business when I turned 18 (don't ever let people tell you that you will not succeed; Live your dreams!).
Nowadays, I'm shooting videos in many countries. I have private clients as well as major companies I'm working with, f.e. Netflix. And everyone knows that one, right?
But, more importantly, I love to fly and shoot (video) with my drones. I've flown in so many countries already (China, Switzerland, the USA, Spain, Iceland, Israel, Germany, and plenty more) and love to explore the world from above in all its beauty.
That's why my main business is all about drones. I capture the world from above. And I share my experiences, knowledge, and the best new inventions with you.
Drones and cameras excite me so much that I put a lot of time and hard work into creating my videos. And I love that you guys appreciate them!
Now, join me on my adventures and subscribe to my channel.
Stay tuned and fly safe!

Some of the links above are so named "affiliate links". By using those, I can get a small provision for purchases you guys make. That way, I can stay true to you because I don't need companies to pay me for creating videos. I'm independent and loyal to you - the best audience!
Therefore, if you purchase your gear through my links, I can keep up the honest work. 👏
The videos on my channel are property of Tom David Frey. Duplicating and re-uploading them without a written permission is prohibited. Sorry, guys, but that's necessary. I work hard on my content and somehow need to make a living. Maybe instead share my videos, by spreading the link or embedding it to your websites or forums. But please, don't steal my work. 😎
By law, I have to mark my video as a "commercial." I herewith do so: this video is a commercial. Though I promise to be honest to you, my audience, all of the time. I like nothing less than fake reviews and videos that spread half-truths just for the financial gain of someone. I believe that being honest to you is much worthier in the long run than making quick money by spreading fake information. Truth rules! Don't believe me? I already had to give up on two promising cooperations because the companies found my videos to be too honest. I call that my occupational risk. 🦾

Nice video but inaccurate, batteries under low temps dont work well so if you get more than 30 minutes there I can imagine it will do the 40 in good weather, this is the base model here not the pro with adjustable aperture also didnt mentioned that all 3 gimbals are interchangeable, the pro model has a 6k camera that is way better than this 8k. All 3 models "Do" 10 bit color and 120 mbps Bibrate So we have along way to go before a full technical review as I can see...

[@ozstrayapanoramas8610]

I'm a little surprised by this reviewer whinging about specs that are simply not available on any other drone. Appalling conditions to review a drone too. And the drone used in this review was a pre production model. Who knows, but I thought some of the commentary was quite harsh. Maybe a review will be more constructive if it is a production model.

[@ozstrayapanoramas8610]

@mingoucz jcz most of the bulky size comes from having a huge battery, it’s the 1” 6k camera that has everyone’s interest, not the 8k camera

[@speedball10169]

He's giving his opinion, there aren't many review vids out yet so we'll see what some others actually have to say when they get their hands on it. These were harsh conditions, you want to see how it performs.

[@ozstrayapanoramas8610]

@@speedball10169 the base model Evo 2 was filmed in 8k, and tested in very poor low light conditions. To get 8k on a 0.5” sensor, the camera uses a quad bay filter. It is common knowledge that a quad bay filter does not work well at all in low light conditions. In summary, a fairer test would have been filming the base model Evo 2 on 4K in these poor light conditions.

[@speedball10169]

@@ozstrayapanoramas8610 I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying that you want to put it through the ringer and see how it performs. You want to take photos and video in lowlight and flat light to see what it looks like. Is this the best video? No. But he's doing his due diligence on it. Like I said, it's 1 video and it's certainly not the end all be all. I'm sure there will be better videos by more reputable vloggers coming in the near future.

Great job Tom, especially with the weather you all had to deal with, however a beautiful place to video. From your review "Skydio 2" still seems to be the best drone for tracking and obstacle avoidance. We use auto tracking a lot in our videos - so we will wait until Autel perfects their tracking.

[@paulos9304]

@@SJMDronesMedia the guy in Ireland who got the Evo didn't need to pay import charges but I can't see everyone getting away with it. We only really got DJI here with that quality. Ok there are others but not really in the same league. The original Evo was as good as the Mavic according to what you read and view so this looks to be fab. I mailed autel a couple of years ago when the Evo first came out regarding the CE marking, they replayed saying that it won't be in the near future. But that's two years ago or slightly more. Fingers crossed it gets to the UK this time. Don't think it would take much to have a service centre in the UK to be fair

[@frostoshi]

well said TOM

[@CaliforniaPhantom]

Tom you seem smashing on this drone a bit too much. You have a review unit and not even a final build. Software is beta at this point your really going to say it’s buggy and no distance when you know full well Evo 1 has outstanding range? I think you would have better served the community to give you assessment but preface it with it being an early review unit. I am 100% confident it will have the advertised range because Evo 1 had good range. Build quality too? Evo 1 is rock solid; I can’t imagine Evo 2 not feeling premium unless you don’t like the matte finish on it. I for one praise the matte finish because of the fingerprints the Evo 1 had. This is elevating the drone game and for ONCE DJI is not at the top in features. They are shockingly absent from the equation entirely with their Mavic mini. Next time bring a power inverter and you could have charged that battery inside your vehicle.

[@duanebowman9595]

He calls it like he see's it. Think He's giving it he's best

[@JetSkiBuyFixPlaySellChannel]

I was surprised that he bashed it so much. I doubt he'll be among the select few to get a review unit in the future.

[@WanderingCarl]

The flight time will increase in warmer weather, where batteries operate at peak efficiency.

[@Bigskies31]

Thanks Tom , great video 👍 . Do you think DJI will bring out a Phantom 5 , interested on your thoughts ?

[@CaliforniaPhantom]

P5 is dead.... they re-released Phantom 4 Pro V2. That to me equates to nail in coffin. Mavic 3 tech specs will make Phantom 5 an oversized Mavic 3; there wouldn’t be a point to it. Autel MADE DJI push the Mavic 3 instead of throttling features like they did with Mavic 2 Pro.

[@Bigskies31]

[@user-mp1mz6gg9c]

yayy😂 a new vidoe

[@DavidDoyleOutdoors]

32-35 mins was a good flight time considering the cold and windy conditions in Iceland which would drain the battery faster than normal. I doubt such a small lens would have enough optical resolution to justify recording in 8k, there will probably be no noticeable difference between 4K and 8k if recording at same bitrates. The colour orange for the drone is good because it can help to prevent birds attacking the drone. You said no consumer drone has 360 optical avoidance, this is not true, the mavic 2 pro in tripod mode has 360 optical avoidance. At 9:20 I noticed some bad red/green colour banding.

[@fieldgoodmultimedia2611]

You can adjust the camera settings by pressing the scroll buttons just like on the first EVO. There's a settings icon in the lower right corner! lol

[@operator1495]

Nice video The cam has zoom?

[@SkyFireDrone2022]

Very interesting. A little give and take to offer those camera options but then cut some corners in the aircraft itself in order to stay competitive. I bet that orange was more useful that you first thought. Considering you are in Iceland, that battery life still seems reasonable but that voice on the app may be a deal-breaker 😆

[@erikdawkins4565]

I heard that it had zoom capabilities. How does this zoom feature compare to the Mavic 2 zoom? Does it zoom farther? Does the zoom look better?

[@johnnydepp4114]

cold weather changes batterylife a lot, but i dont know if you use other drones under the same conditions ?

[@spotmom]

@Scouts Honor I just ran my Evo for 20 minutes at 20 below. He's not even wearing gloves (or a hat). It can't be all that cold.

[@MikoHa]

Great review! I really appreciate the side by side color grading part!

[@blackopsdrones797]

Also the battery takes about ten full cycles to reach optimum discharge rate. From cycle one of the battery to the tenth cycle could be a difference upwards of 3 min. In addition, the cold will affect battery life, along with the wind, the location was not ideal to say the least...especially for a maiden flight/first discharge. However you guys look to have done a great job pushing through! 👍🏻

[@johnlord7188]

Excellent review as we have come to expect from you Tom. I look forward to your Mavic 3 review🙂

[@yaronbal]

[@Ben-rz9cf]

Making the camera system modular was an incredibly smart decision from a manufacturing standpoint. No competitor is going to keep up with DJI on design iteration, but if all autel has to do is focus on upgrading the camera for several years, they can get to a point where they can overtake some of their oppressive market share. Personally there is always a lot of theorizing "THIS WILL KILL DJI" but this is the first drone i see realistically competing with DJI in any way shape or form. We will have to see how they respond with their 2020 release.

[@ruisenmao9001]

Looking forward to testing the evo 2 6K version.

[@noonespecific9463]

I believe that 9 mile range number refers the battery life more than transmission range, it’s the overall distance the drone can travel before exhausting its battery. I could be mistaken , but I think that’s correct.
