Autel Robotics - EVO II Portable 8k Drone - Black/Orange

This is a great drone, easy to learn to fly, very smart ai control and safe to fly around tree and object. It is very good a keeping still in higher wind up to 39mph! I highly recommend to anyone over the DJI.

Absolutely fantastic drone! I ones the Mavic Pro(1st one) and the Evo 2 is so much better they're not even comparable. I get around 30-35 minutes flight time and the video and pictures are outstanding. The only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 is the battery charger quit working after only 5 flights. I'm just glad they have great customer service also because the day after I sent Autel an email I received one back and 2 days later a new charger was headed my way via FedEx overnight. Great job all the way around Autel.

So I picked up this drone due to the issues that I was having with DJI and the Mavic 2pro . As some of you may know the google 12 update made the pixel next to useless for using DJIs app. I waited months for a simple patch from DJI, with little to no feedback. Once DJI said to "borrow someone' s device in the meantime" I had enough. Best buy lucky has a program that extends returns on the Mavic 2 pro. I exchange the Mavic 2 for this drone. To be completely honest, I'm happy things played out the way they did, because this drone feels like a step up from the Mavic 2. They generally similar, but the interface of the app and lack of issues made me fall in love with this drone! definitely worth it! If you liked the Mavic 2 pro then you will feel right at home with this drone.

We returned this item because we almost lost it. For some reason the drone lost connection with the controller and flew off instead of landing. Luckily my husband did some quick thinking and took a snap picture before we lost connection. 40 mins walking around the neighborhood and he finally located the landmarks in the photo to find the drone in a driveway 3 blocks away. We could've completely lost all of our money that evening if he didn't take a picture before it lost connection. We returned this item.

Being that it was the first drone i owned very impressed with the quality of the drone wife and i had a lot of fun using it filmed fireworks on the 4th 2020 turned out very nice File size on the 8k were HUGE so be aware and make sure you use a good quality SD card.

Fly all of the time. very stable and easy to use. The collision software is great too

When I received this Autel drone I was blowed away how easy it is to fly and use the camera , this is my first drone and thought I would skip rite to the best and I'm fairly certain I did that. Looking forward to lots of flying and eventually making some money with this bird surveying property's or what ever needs to be looked at in a precise efficient manner. Great item.

You will love flying this drone. As an aircraft and as a device to capture stunning still images and video, it is superb. So why do I give it only one star? The battery life indicator is extremely unreliable, and customer service takes no accountability for this. My drone initiated a landing sequence entirely on its own with 16% of its battery life left (this metric along with estimated remaining flight time of 5 minutes are clearly recorded in the flight log) and landed in enough water to destroy the electronics. The drone was 120.5 feet away from me and flying at an altitude of 12 feet. Easy to bring back to my location in a matter of seconds. I tried to abort the landing and the aircraft was unresponsive. When I contacted customer service they were willing to review the flight log with me. They admitted that my explanation of the sequence of events was correct. No dispute. But they placed 100% of the blame on me for flying with low power. This drone at this price point with a battery indicator that shows a precise % of life left (accompanied by a time estimate as well) should have given more reliable data to the pilot. Imagine if your car ran out of gas with an estimated 1/8th of a tank of gas left. Would you feel responsible for that? This is how Autel Robotics runs its customer service center. You should know that before you buy this drone. And if you buy this drone and have trouble, you will remember this review and kick yourself.
