And they have the nerve to charge what they are charging for this new one. When the smoke clears and the "newness" of this drone wears off, people will finally start to see that the Evo 2 is not a good product in comparison to DJI and Autels own Evo 1, especially for the price.

The antennas signal that shoots behind it is redirected towards the front or to the drone. I haven’t received mine yet but I hear they work pretty well, hopefully.

Hey Ken. Great vid. Distance tests beyond where you should even legally fly make no sense to me so I like yours as being "Real use". I guess the only other thing that matters is how long you can stay at that range before having to return. If you have to head back the second you got there to make it back and not lose the drone you should be closer otherwise what's the point if you have no time to actually video anything. I have never had horizon issues like that with my EVO 1. I wonder how yours got so jacked. You have had good horizon in earlier vids from it. Maybe something wrong with the gimble?

It's an issue for my co's drones. We have M2P, Evo, P4P etc. Any of the Mavic style drones flying around the east coast of FL in the everyday 15-20 mph winds agl and 35+ mph at 300' altitude will have tilt problems as you yaw. Doesn't matter which. These small drone gimbals are getting a beat down in those kind of winds we see far more common than on the Gulf side. There is a settling down period for the gimbals once tilted, and often times you may have to yaw in the opposite way to speed up the gimbal roll recovery. We flew a good part of last week into 40 mph winds. Doing orbits, and Waypoints we had to address the issues on M2P and Evo several times. On the ground level, winds were 18 mph and the guys filming with Weebill S and Ronin S gimbals for dslrs were fighting the same issues. Those gimbal motors are 40x the strength of gimbal motors on these drones. The cameras and lenses are also quite often much much heavier on the hand stabilizer gimbals.The hardware of these drones gets beat up in high winds. These are not very strong motors at all. At times in higher winds regardless of drone, we fly with gimbal roll adjustment on screen making corrections if needed. The telemetry data is on the controller, so it's not needed on the screen of the app. The P4P however did the best with less tilt, however it did jump altitude about 7x on an orbit mode as the wind just battered the thing around. We still got the jobs done with all of the drones. For the Waypoints, we were happier with the EVO since the 94 degree FOV on the camera aided our coverage a lot more than the 77 deg on the Mavics. I think the newer Evo 2 is about 80 degree FOV, which means we will still use the Evo 1 for a lot of our work. . The BIGGEST pros for Evo are no problems with NFZ or flight restrictions, and that ultra wide 94 deg FOV has a ton of coverage meaning you get a lot more image detail at closer range. The clarity of the camera on the Evo 1 is still some of the best I have seen in any drone. Take the good with the bad on any drone you buy

I wouldn't write this drone off because of one range test. It likely needs firmware tweaks which Autel will get to. Most new products need firmware changes before they reach a mature state and hit their full potential. When I first bought my Mavic Air, the thing wouldn't fly down the beach without signal dropout. By the time the 2nd round of firmware hit, I could range ships almost 2 miles out with full FPV in HD. Instead of focusing on max distance, which nobody should be using anyway, how about battery life? Landing after a 5-6 mile roundtrip flight with 13 minutes remaining is excellent. The Evo 1 was already a 30 minutes machine (25 min useable) and the Evo 2 just added a good 10-12 minutes to that mark!

Just want to say love your videos but this is definitely not one of your Forte's.. is really no point of you doing a range test.. if you're not going to test the full range.. maybe if you were doing a range test in the city with lots of interference. People in a wide-open area want to see how far the Drone can go.. if you're not going to do that then there's no point of this video... A lot of range tests the signal breaks up a little bit that's because of little bit of interference and then you can go further and it clears up quickly and you can even go an extra mile.. so when he breaks up in 2 miles that doesn't really mean anything especially in open-air. what these guys mean is that there are plenty of other drone reviewers that push them to the limits with range tests. And they never get in trouble.. like that guy Dustin Hill... the absolute best range test you can get. he takes it to the limit and to the battery is almost dead. Yeah I know it's not your fine.. but that's what people are looking for.. and that's what makes people watch taking risks. Some people take them and they say it's worth it.. THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW FAR THE DRONE GOES IN A REAL-WORLD SITUATION!! IT'S A SIMPLE AS THAT!! and for the record I feel like the real reason why they do not want people going beyond the line of sight is because they're trying to control the idiots out there.. the ones that are irresponsible.. They're not worried about the responsible drone people who act professional.. It's like a general rule in my opinion because they don't want idiots going to be on the line of sight doing stupid things because they're careless. It's just damage control.. they figure if you say you can't go beyond the line of sight they know it's going to stop a lot of people from doing so.. they damn well know people are going to go beyond the line of sight. It's almost like putting up a stop sign in a place every time there's a problem. THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO CONTROL THE IRRESPONSIBLE IDIOTS WITH THAT LINE OF SIGHT RULE.. and FYI I have never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever seen anyone get in trouble for going beyond the line of sight. Have you? Have you ever seen anyone get a fine? Maybe I'm wrong but I've never seen an issue.. and I think it's few and far between people who have any problems with going to be on the line of sight because of return to home as long as you understand the wind, and listen to your low battery warning. Another words I've seen tons of people going to be on the line of sight with range test but losing your drone is very low-risk especially with DJI.. If you're making money it's worth that risk to some.. and I'm glad that they do it. I want to know what my drone can do without breaking it... One of the biggest reasons why KZread is so popular..

i can fly 2 miles without a problem with my 150.00 Bugs 2, so why spend 10x the money for this. I wanted something i could get out there with, and this drone advertises 5 miles. Has anybody tried that, or maybe my question should be which drone will get out there that far no problems...Roost

It just is a common issue with the drone if it pushes against a headwind or crosswind. These drones physically TILT hard in certain winds on hard yaw especially. They can tilt so much that the gimbal can't recover quickly enough until the drone itself levels back out. Then the gimbal roll settles down. In an area with low winds it might not be an issue. Here in the Space Coast of FL, it's common to have 20+ mph winds daily at 200 ft alt, and gusts of 40 are common. I can take either craft just outside over the Indian River here and watch the drones tilt back and forth in the wind in a hover. Flying in those winds constantly shifting beats the gimbals up pretty hard.

There is not a "known" tilt issue with DJI drones. There is a "known" tilt issue, that Autel has tried to fix many times, with the Evo series. And back to the original question/topic at hand, how can the person say this is a solid product with everything I stated in my previous comment?

The autel Evo 2 is the new KING!!! Not only is it better than the mavic 2 series. Better transmission distance.. longer battery life, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT DJI STOPPING YOU FROM DOING ANYTING!! OBVIOUSLY BETTER CAMERAS!! Yes I know it's useful but we are big boys we are adults we know the rules stop getting in our business.. GO AUTEL!!!!

Advertised 9km range? and gimbal issues as well. I was going to buy one but I’m not paying excess cost for something that is Falsely Advertised and Horizon issues😡

So much goes into coming up with a range maximum figure. It might fly 9km and still be connected if you were in Airplane Mode on the phone, with no nearby interference, 0 wind, full battery, perfect line of sight, optimum antenna position, and at 400' AGL. As Ken stated, this wasn't going to be a test until full disconnection, battery exhaustion, at max AGL, or under other optimum conditions. The horizon issue with on his Evo 1, which is not a problem on all people's Evo 1 models. I will test the Evo 2 in the safest and most ideal conditions once mine arrives but not until I've validated everything in shorter range, cycled the battery at least 10 times, and done a good break-in.

@@savageaf1539 It's not just the range. Everything about this drone is the same as the 1st. Only thing really better is flight time, but that's also what makes it bigger, heavier, and less portable. Plus, the same way the people in the video and others think about distance in that "who needs to go past 2.5 miles", I say the same thing for the battery, I don't need to fly for 40 minutes.

@@christianpesox depends on usage. We fly long waypoint missions often, and with Evo 1 or M2P we have to fly multiple missions each. With a 40+ min battery, we can complete the mission in one flight. We also deal with much higher winds here almost daily, so battery life of a 24 min drone gets cut down to 16 or 18 on avg. Battery estimates are based on prime conditions. On the East Coast of FL here the winds are 15+ all the time, and gusts in all directions as routinely... so our flight times yield about 18 min on a good day. Having a 40 min flight time would save ourselves a lot of time in both planning our flights, and actually flying without looking at battery levels as routinely as we do now.

OK man. Whatever.

My Spark flies further and it isn't even fcc power.

That drone, or Mavic Air don't do well on the east coast with our winds haha... Spark is a cute drone, beats the flight control of Mavic Mini for sure. Range on the Spark is nothing at all like Mavic or Evo. If you get that range, awesome.. 95% of us do not.

Bold-faced liar. That POS couldn't fly 11,000' if I dropped it from a helicopter. Go take your overpriced junk Spark and play with it in your Mom's basement. Hubsan makes the Zino Pro that shoots 4K, flies 5KM, and includes a 2nd battery for $375. DJI makes nice, but highly overpriced drones with Net-Nanny NFZ Training Wheels for software.

Hey wanker, I posted the movie of it. Are you that stupid? Wgaf anyway, go back to sleep.

Thanks Ken. Really enjoyed. Info was helpful 👍🦅
