    Advice & critique on first customer video

    60FPS drops down to 8bit, so does 1080P, also with my FW version so does shooting in MP4 vs MOV, some users have reported that MP4 is still 10bit for them. There's pretty much no documentation from Autel on this. Some users have even reported their EVO doesn't shoot 10bit in any framerates or...

    Advice & critique on first customer video

    I was referring to the HDR video mode as well, it is just a buzzword that does not mean anything when the sensor cannot produce true HDR video. More evenly exposed is not a good thing, it means something is being lost in the highs and lows that may not be recoverable at the expense of contrast...

    Advice & critique on first customer video

    If you go to YouTube to learn color grading you will probably get completely buried in BS by people who fancy themselves as Hollywood colorists. The reality is we are not making the next Hollywood blockbuster so my approach is to get commercially viable results as quickly as possible with the...

    First flight unresponsive, started drifting and crashed

    I always tell people never buy a drone especially an Autel drone from somewhere that does not let you return it within 30 days. I would have returned it immediately. Now you are out an additional $300 with no guarantee that Autel will properly address your problem.

    Advice & critique on first customer video

    That makes sense, I thought it was an MLS video. For a property owner video I probably would have stuck with 3min with the intent being to show each key feature from about 3 different angles/camera movements. So, 1 battery and about 20min in the air. I also would have stated up front in the...

    Advice & critique on first customer video

    First off, great first effort, the only reason I am commenting at all is because you asked on ways to improve and I always enjoy helping others improve. I have shot literally hundreds of properties both video and photos and commercial as well as residential so below is what I would recommend...

    Picture stability issues

    If it is within 30 days and you can send it back that's your best bet, if not then I would reach out to Autel and good luck with that. No mode should behave like you describe as long as the drone is hovering.

    Nano+ White Balance Issue

    So I test edited the middle exposure from your bracket and all I can tell you is that the Nano+'s sensor is just not good for accurate color reproduction. There is a strong color shifted vignette, the bit depth is low, the dynamic range is poor, and sharpness is lacking causing muddy details...

    Nano+ White Balance Issue

    Is this your first drone? I don't think you have as much a WB problem as you do an image that is lower quality than you expected. If this is your first drone then that would explain why you think it should look better. The Nano+ has a camera sensor that is smaller than most cell phones, so...

    New EVO II Favorite Feature - Turn off ALL of the Lights

    That sounds like pure insanity, I would just take apart the arms and disconnect the lights if I had to go through that. Good luck with your 640T, hopefully it works out for you; there are many posts on here with buyers regret after buying the 640T. If you do not need thermal then I would...

    Panorama

    I think these days Autel is averaging around 5yrs behind DJI. When I got my EVO II 3yrs ago I estimated it was about 3yrs behind, but these days it feels like 5-6yrs. One thing and one thing alone will always keep them light years ahead of DJI in my book....no geofencing; for that one feature I...

    How long does an Autel battery last if used intensively?

    Not much at all, there is good and bad news for the controller battery; the bad news is I haven't heard of anyone replacing one (doesn't mean it hasn't happened), but the good news is I have also never needed to replace one. My oldest drone is the DJI P4 and it is around 8yrs old and the remote...

    Battery Shelf Life

    I would not do that because the discharge circuit is just going to discharge it back down to 50% within 6 days. If anything you would only want to top up to around 60% if your previous flight discharged the battery to below 50%, anything more than that and the discharge circuit will just bring...

    Gimbal facing more then 15 degrees upwards possible?

    What would be the point? The only thing you would be looking at is the underside of the upper lip of the drone. Even at +15 degrees in a strong headwind the lip of the drone starts to protrude into the footage not to mention the props. The only drones that allow you to point straight up are the...

    Battery Won’t Power On or Charge

    The case can definitely turn on the battery, it has happened to me twice, both times I took it out of the car and carried the case for a few min. As you mentioned, when the case is upright, all of the weight of the drone presses on the battery and with the right combination of shakes it could...
