    B&H order did not include case

    I pre ordered from Carolina Dronz and getting a case was a big surprise. I didn't expect it. It's a great little case.

    EVO Broke...less then a week.

    Aside from operator error, I'm waiting to hear how this thing will hold up over time. I was charging my controller yesterday and some strange noise were coming out of it. I'm a little skittish from owning a couple of yuneec drones. My H is in the shop again for its 5th repair under warranty.

    EVO Broke...less then a week.

    This one is all on me. My error. If you toe in the controller sticks for more then a few seconds the motors will shut off. They behave differently on the EVO than my Mavic Pro. I learned something today..

    EVO Broke...less then a week.

    Took my evo out today on its third flight. Motors run for a few seconds then shut off. Unbelievable...calling Autel tomorrow.

    EVO Firmware Update

    You have to be connected to wi fi or cellular. The update has only been out for a few days, so there is little chance it's updated already. I would check the version in the explorer app.

    EVO Gimbal Issues?

    A couple of interesting findings concerning horizon tilt and gimbal movement when stationary. I read the latest firmware upgrade fixes the horizon tilt. I upgraded the firmware on my EVO and for me the tilt is worse that it was out of the box. The other thing I noticed was that the camera is...

    Official firmware update is V2.0.12 As of 10\25\2017

    So any idea when the "approved" version comes out? I thought is was supposed to be released months ago. I went to the beta site and the disclaimers scare me. Mine is still under warranty.

    I thought the non-beta version was to be released at the end of August. This upgrade has been in beta forever. Glad to see progress. Thanks for posting.

    Video Interference Warning

    so..I had it out for flight three. I returned to the scene of the crime from the first flight. Removed and reinstalled the camera. Flew it around for awhile, no warning messages. I kept an eye on the video meter to see what it was doing. it was all over the place. Typically when it gets to two...

    New X Star Premium Owner from Minnesota

    Greeting from Shakopee, MN. I'm not new to drones, but I am to Autel. I had my maiden voyage of my X-star on Saturday. Aside from numerous video interference and a app complete disconnect which caused the craft to RTH, I like the drone so far. Great to know help is here if I need it.

    Video Interference Warning

With all the error messages, I would get the signal was weak and the displayed video was choppy, pixelated, etc. it would go back to normal, then down to three bars, two bars, five...
