Thanks Dustin. Very organic review, kinda felt like I was out taking the Evo for the first flight myself!
I was thinking the same.. Really nice to have a review that's not overproduced.
There's so much stuff that Autel needs to work on for this drone!
best saturday night ever waiting for this .. will leave a remark when I view it. ohhhh the excitement !!!!!!
my 2 cents. .. awesome camera so clear and crisp and nothing extra needed as in filters etc. .. yes it had a few little bugs while flying and the flight time etc .. but these are all sorted with software updates this is a new drone and will get lots of updates from autel. this drone is very very capable of anything the mavic can do easily remember the mavic hd a few severe issues also from the start and still people are very nervy when they see a new update etc ..
now what to do what to do buy it or wait ????
but as always brilliant review and thanks { keeping you fit also dustin lol }
Nailed another one!! Great review!! Thanks for all the info!!
Thanks for the review. Best Evo review out there. Good job
Dustin excellent review, it does everything I need.
Thanks Dustin for doing the review very nice
My EVO just arrived as your video concluded! The EVO looks fantastic and will be an improvement over my XSP. I'm sure they'll improve the rear obstacle avoidance in future FW updates. I can't believe all the DJI shills in here knocking the EVO. It flew great and the active tracking worked super! Seems only the orbit mode was a bit jerky and that'll be easy enough to smooth out in future updates. I'm not sure how soon I'll review mine. There's so much to cover. Thanks for this thorough video!
I like reviews with strong wind to me very important how this new drones react thanks one in my list.
This guy did a great job in reviewing the Autel,... he was just a regular guy,.. but through and real world,. great job.
One of the best hands down!
Great review video.
The 4k video quality looks amazing on this drone.
I recently upgraded from a Hubson h107c that I've been flying for the last four years or so to a Bebop 2 with sky controller 2 and its so much fun, I can't wait to find a good open area to play around with it more.
Thanks for sharing and as always Keep Building👍
Thanks for the video, very informative.
Best reviewer I love your videos dustin keep it up
Thanks for doing such a great job on this review of a very important new drone. Since it's strongly compete's with the Mavic Pro and probably has a better camera. I just hope it doesn't look like last year's drone when the new Mavic 2 arrives this fall.
That was great Dusti. Awesome review of her. Nice camera pretty steady very nice quad I like it.
Brilliant Dustin. Really liking this drone.
Looking forward to seeing your next reviews on it. You have my attention lol. Cheers 🍻👍
Loved it. Thank you
Very good and thorough review. The Evo is definitely competition for the Mavic!
great video dustin, what a nice drone, great review cant wait to see more tests. its a thumbs up from me and i look forward to the next video
Tq mr.Dustin..this time to flight review..many thanks..
Thanks Dustin, a Drone like this would be good for keeping a close eye on your kids 🖒
Great review, I’m gonna sit on the fence until the distance range is tested. Can’t afford mavic pro but I can on the air.
Been an hubsan fan for a while, now I’m confident I want to upgrade and use more technology in these drones.
Great review look forward to the next episode ✌️
Another great review. Seems to be a good one. I wonder how the accessory market will be.
Great video. The Evo seems to be a very good drone. Look forward to the next video.
Well this one is giving DJI a run for its money. The 4K footage was great. Looking forward to 2nd video, more functions!! Great stuff.
You're extremely brave testing the detection with your body.
Those propellers hurt. I had a bugs 12 give me a nasty cut once when I went to pick it up prior to turning off motors without thinking once, I didn't make that mistake twice.
Great review from Paradise, thanks
Another great review Dustin, I'll be interested to see if the flight time improves with more cycles, this one (around 22 minutes) seems about the same as the Mavic Pro though 👍👍
Great review...As an owner of multiple DJI Drones, it's great to see an American based company that can finally compete with DJI. The Evo II just came out which looks even more promising.
Very, very helpful. Thank you.
Can't wait for the range test
Other youtube review puts this drone out and back to 3.5 miles.....so 7 miles in total. That really is insane.
WTF GAMING When flying in urban areas, I've only gotten 1.2 miles away from the controller. Out in the country where there's less interference, I'm sure I would get a lot more distance. Also, I've been experimenting with different antenna positions. I fold my antennas out and up against the controller, then put my phone in the holder. Antennas in between the phone and controller has been the best so far.
Nice drone.
Hey Dustin great videos!!! Rear sensors are working and detecting you from more 10ft away as you can see from the green, then orange, then red lower radar display. It is not stopping by design, it is set to only warn you. I will be contacting Autel and ask them to switch it "avoid" the rear collision or at least give us the option to select "avoid" or "warn". All other sensor directions are designed to actually avoid the collision by making the drone stop.
Excellent video, ty.
From what I understand the avoidance sensor has a problem with vertical and small objects. Ie: It will still run into post and wires because there's not enough signal to bounce off of. I'ts good at avoiding walls, vehicles, flat surfaces or smashing into cliffs and if you try going faster on sport mode that shuts avoidance off .
This quad is nice!! I want to wait for the mavic 2. But, this is definitely a great drone!!
You convinced me to get the evo 2
Luv your vids dude keep it up. You deserve a million subbb
Three years later, but still valuable today. (Autel recently had some refurbished Evo 1s for sale. I'm in my mid-70s on a fixed income, and I have to buy what I can afford, not what's newest).
I do always have to do a mental adjustment on some things. Here in the Mojave Desert, 5 - 15 mph isn't a windy day, it's the kind of calm day we look forward to when we get a break from the constant 30+ mph winds we live with.
you're my fav fly guy.
Mavic for better range and overall flight performance
I can't wait to get mine....
Another great review but still think DJI has the edge in both Mavic Air & Pro 👍🏼🛩🛩
Hi bro love your video
I've contacted autel about rear obstacle avoidance only working in novice mode.they are aware and will be releasing updated firmware to address this matter and the horizon issue.this is a great drone camera is hands down the best out right now on a compact foldable drone
But they never did.... instead, 2 years later you need to buy the EVO 2.....
Such a cool looking drone.
Question, The evo or mavic air 2 - Price is not the issue at all. Which would be your choice?
Well done Dustin,🍻 brother
Where are you in relation to the vulcano eruption? Nice video. I always enjoy your videos. I got my preorder in...
Fine on another island. Thanks man 👍
Thanks great very informative as always I was really waiting for your review I’m gonna go with Autel I have 2 x star drones like new all of DJI all except for the Mavic pro just got 2 hubsan H501A Drones
But the reason I’m going with Autel and the Evo is I think there a great product and there pricing is a lot more down to earth DJI needs to come off that high price bs
Anyway Thanks 👍
Michael Nichols Eh? Autel Evo $999 / DJI Mavic $814.99 - you are talking nonsense.
im still running this EVO drone in April 2024 and enjoying every minute.
Hello! What head mounted camera are you using for this? Looks great... need one..
Wow Dustin, seems like a semi close competitor to the Mavic series. It is a shame about the rear obstacle avoidance though. that definitely needs worked on. as always love your in depth vids.
Great drone and color
I am definitely leaning towards this little beast. I see it is detecting in rear flight - but not responding; while this is the least of my worries - I believe they are working on a software update to fix it.
The rear sensors work, but it doesn’t have avoidance in reverse, only warning signal.
i wish i could carry my drone like that. very practical
Interesting. No worse than the Mavic when it first came out (possibly better in some areas) but not quite as good as the Mavic pro now is.
I don''t think it will be long at all before parity is achieved.
Given the wind I was quite impressed with everything but the rear sensors _I think it is worth looking at that section with the video slowed down_...
Were I in the market for such a quad I think that, on the basis of what I have seen so far, I'd still go for the known quantity that is the Mavic.
That could change later.
Great review as always
Really enjoyed the video. I don't know if anyone else has had that issue with the rear obstacle avoidance. If it is, hopefully Autel will take care of the problem. Excellent video Dustin!!
apparently it only works in beginner geofencing mode. This is why it worked in my house as i mentioned but not in this review since I turned off beginner mode.
Dustin Dunnill Ok. Thanks much Dustin
Excellent video Dustin. Regarding the disparity between the performance of the front and rear sensors, I can't help but wonder if the Evo is indeed functioning as intended. The front sensors activated AND halted the aircraft, whereas the rear sensors activated (thus gave warning) but did not impede motion. The manual is somewhat vague in this area as it specifically describes front sensor operation and execution separate from the rear sensor. Is this intentional?
Yes it is strange . Seems like if they can see the obstacle they should work in regular mode not only in beginner mode.
Very informative demo Dustin as always. I think I lost 10 pounds after all that running LOL!! Looks like a nice quad copter and they obviously put a lot of thought into it. Happy Flying
😆 I burnt some calories in this one. Need to do it more..lol
Cant wait for Range Test
Here is my range test czcams.com/video/iLYCPZQYSxo/video.html
It's much better then dji drone.thanks for the video
I own the mavic pro and spark. This is going to be the next horse in my stable. One huge advantage to this drone is it doesn't come from china! No waiting for months to receive it. Also best buy sells them here in the US. Now if they would just produce a fly more package or make extra batteries available to buy. Im sure they are coming soon.
Very professional review man. Keep it up! I'd DJI don't come up with something this year I can see them in a serious problems. I am willing to pay extra to get this baby with thermals lol. Dji dominated for too long I think. They put their money in to ads and stuff but not enough in development of new toys. That's my Impression.
ARE YOU TEST OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE SENSOR ? HOW IS IT WORKING ?
Dustin, is there a yaw speed adjust? The X-Star Premium has this adjustment. Also, are you able to turn on and off the avoidance? Does the higher speed rate negate the avoidance? The reason for these ?s is because on first flights many times unfamiliarity can cause missed features. Not to knock you or the EVO, but consider?
I did not see any adjustment for yaw speed. Yes you can turn off obstacle avoidance. I think this was a pretty realistic review of how it actually performed in these conditions out of the box. All I did was turn off beginner mode which apparently is the only mode rear OA is active in thus far.
Have Autel Evo those limits like Dji drones have? For example less distance limit in Europa, or coveral 500 Meters height limit? Have Autel Evo height limit? Or i can climb my near house mountains going up 1000 meters?
hey could you do a range test on that drone?
Interesting quad with amazing potential. For the $1k USD price point I think my mavic air with the fly more bundle is a better value (for me) for now but if they fix the issues Dustin mentioned I will seriously look into them for my next quad.
Great review Dustin, I think you might be the most neutral drone reviewer, I think you mentioned Mavic less than anyone else and basically sang the praises and negatives of the EVO on it's own right, though you did mention it a bit. I feel a review should just be based on the item being reviewed and the comparisons left for actual comparison tests. Looking forward to your future reviews, specially would like to see how the video holds at a distance, not necessarily pushing it for miles but lets say how steady the image is at a mile or two. Good job, thank you.
Thanks. Had to touch on some Mavic comparisons here since it was relevant and they are direct competitors. Will be interesting how it does in the other tests.
I agree, you did it just enough without letting it become a "mavic is the shit and this is the best of the rest"
I wish DJI would put their phone bracket on the top too. And I like that color 🤓 I was intrigued bu this one.. nice camera, nice controller, pretty capable, but I’m a sucker for the new “boomerang” feature on the Mavic Air 😜
I actually liked the rear avoidance NOT stopping but just warning.
I launched from my front porch to fly around the yard. The front OA prevented me from hitting the trees, fence and house but when it came time to land, it wouldn't get any closet than about 6 feet from the porch.and I didn't want to land in the dirt on my first flight. So I just turned around and backed onto the porch and landed at my feet. So, I hope that when they update and implement the rear "avoidance" function, I can turn it off easily from the Tx or phone (like one of the programmable buttons).
makes sense in that situation but you can manually turn off and on if you want in settings. I'd rather it work in all modes if possible and just turn of manually if needed.
The detection range on that thing is crazy
I like to see The EVO II if you can get to it . Greetings from The Netherlands,
Nice setup but the problem I have with Autel drones is the lack of precise control. Hope they could improve that next time
Am looking into drones for real estate photography and the non-smoothness on the rotation shooting is pretty much a deal breaker... unless things have changed since this review was made?
Extremely fine work once again Dustin! This thing looks pretty sweet. Thanks for the great channel.
I own a spark, would you say the spark is better than this drone?
I got The Mavic Pro and it's doing well, except for some odd gimbal issues and sometimes recalibrating mid air. And some tilt.
I kinda want to get this one just to see what others offer. The only thing it lacks that Mavic Pro has is the 3D Mapping Capabilities
Well not really the only thing it lacks.. IT also lacks all 3rd party support. That is there are many companies that have written software that can be used to accomplish just about everything under the sun for the Mavic. The EVO lacks all of that support. The upside of the EVO is the price and the absence of GEO - NFZ. IMO the Mavic is more refined than the EVO but the EVO is not far behind and can be flown anywhere you are dumb enough to fly.
Good video
Aloha Dustin. I have a question. When I power on . The remote would say no GPS connection? Did you have that problem? I located on Oahu. Parks. Here is wide open. No power line etc.
Never had that issue 🍻🤙
Looks nice, dude. Great quad! 😊
Great review. Not a bad little drone, just not the Mavic killer I was hoping for. It is funny how DJI sets the bar and everyone else tries to follow. Every new drone is a blatant copy of the Mavic. And I'm not a DJI fanboy at all. Would just like some originality from time to time.
hello. top video like always ;)
i know there is a problem with the "follow me mode", the autel evo don't change altitude when the "target" climb a hill, do you have try with a new firmware if it's correct it?
thank you.
Yeah saw a Review yesterday warning the Rear Obstacle Avoidance doesn't Stop the EVO.
It does in beginner mode apparently but we need it to work in normal modes.
FYI, somebody named "Chase Reviews" has reposted this review today 2/15/19 giving no mention of you. Pretty lame, IMO. You put a lot of work into your reviews and they are very informative, so thank you!
Thanks Dale. I'll report it to Google 👍
Dustin, I have seen several videos of the EVO oth, I'm wondering can you adjust the detection range in the app?
Haven't seen a setting for that.
Nice looking forward to more ! Thanks.
Great channel. Keep the great reviews coming. Thanks. 👍👍
Can this track non-ground based objects? e.g. can it automatically follow another drone or rc plane?
Is it possible, that you only can order this, if you life in the US?
Because I cant find it in Amazon or Ebay.
I saw another video where the rear sensors only function correctly in Beginner Mode???
I want to see you do the range test on the side of the mountain with the small winding road. A great place to test the range where signal is minimally obstructed and radio interference is severely limited. Many range test videos I've watched so far seems to be inconsistent.
The rear sensors work better in low light for some reason. Almost as good as the front sensors.
No compass calibration? I've watched several videos and none are doing a compass calibration. Doesn't this Drone need it? How will it return to home?
Try a slow yaw. Is it jerky like the Xstar?
Looks awesome so far to me. I wonder if they can improve the rear sensors in a firmware update? Looking forward to more vids on it.
back sensors are no collision avoidance, there are just detectors.
Unless your in beginner mode 🙂
I wonder if you might do a newer video regarding the EVO, since this video was made there have been some major updates and lots of flyers think it’s the best drone of 2018 ! I’m only bringing this up because there were many issues that have been fixed since it’s official release four months ago.
Been meaning to do a follow up. Thanks for reminding me 🙂👍
Wow what a lot of functions. All kind of functions and works great. (Y) Mavic have a tough competitor.
How do you find the camera compared to the mavic 2 zoom?
