    Evo is still on beta firmware

    Smh. Absolutely absurd and inexcusable. Kinda like ordering dinner at a restaurant and having it served uncooked - "don't worry, just start eating it...we'll finish cooking it later." Just my opinion, but anyone who spends their hard earned money on a half-finished product is crazy - especially...

    Horizon Tilt after Update 2.0.12

    Many thanks to ACJunior for posting the resolution to his horizon tilt problem here! I had given up hope on my XSP, since the conversation I had with Autel back in October led me to believe the only chance for a solution was to wait on a firmware update to address the known issue. When I saw...

    Statements Made By Kenneth AR on social media so far on the new EVO & XSP

    My feelings exactly. I’m sorry to say that Autel has officially lost me. I’ll continue to run my XSP (for stills only - the variable horizon tilt caused by the new firmware makes it worthless for video) until it no longer safely flies, then move on to a more stable and viable manufacturer. I’d...

    Meet the EVO!!! Autel's new bird!!

    Looks nice - if it ever sees production. Not sure which to hope for, since a new model likely would mean that the firmware-induced tilted horizon on my ship won't ever get fixed. I just remember the retractable gear ship they teased last year too, so I won't worry about it either way.

    Tilted Horizon

    Sorry...duplicate post

    Tilted Horizon

    If I could resolve the horizon tilt in my XSP by adding a little gimbal roll adjustment, I could live with it (until a new firmware release). Unfortunately, as I've posted in a previous thread, on my XSP the direction of horizon tilt varies depending on the direction of yaw, and also the degree...

    Unusual Critical Land mode activation

    Thanks for the chart and the suggestion, Agustine. I thought I was being safe using 30% as my warning level, and 20% as my critical level - I usually land in the 25-35% range. The obvious drawback to landing by 40% is that maximum flight time is reduced to a paltry 13 mins or so, and flight time...

    Sudden battery power-drop in-flight

    I've had a very similar experience to ovrszd, with 3 out of 4 of my batteries; no issue with them prior to firmware update, then on update to 2.0.12 from 1.2.8, the batteries went straight from 38% to "critical low" instantly. Here's video I captured to provide to Autel CS last month: The...

    Unusual Critical Land mode activation

    I had the exact same problem with 3 out of 4 of my batteries; no issue with them prior to update, then on update to 2.0.12 from 1.2.8, the batteries went straight from 38% to "critical low" instantly. Here's video I captured to provide to Autel CS last month: The batteries varied in age -...

    Horizon Tilt after Update 2.0.12

    Yeah, I'm not exactly pleased - but I'm going to remain optimistic for now that they'll at least have a beta out in reasonable time that addresses the problem. I suspect the speed of it's release may depend on how many users are experiencing the problem - although the yaw issue affected...

    Horizon Tilt after Update 2.0.12

    No problem brian bwin. I figured it was important to share the experience and the fact that it is firmware related - though it appears it's only impacting a percentage of users since Autel said "the occurrence is somewhat common with the new firmware". Not sure if that means most or a few or...

    Horizon Tilt after Update 2.0.12

    Great minds think alike, eh? ;) I actually used a "crowd source" type of design service last year to create the logo, after having pitiful luck putting one together myself. I take good pictures, but ask me create anything from scratch and results can be...underwhelming! Anyways, I ended up...

    Horizon Tilt after Update 2.0.12

    As an update, I've been in contact with Autel Support over the last week in an attempt to address the horizon tilt issue. Unfortunately the end result is that this issue is, indeed, a known issue with the new firmware official release, and Autel is working on a solution for a future release. I...

    Horizon Tilt after Update 2.0.12

    By way of comparison, here is a brief yaw shot from my XSP prior to the firmware update:
