    Anyone know how to actually reach Autel?

    I posted a comment on Autel's Facebook page about not getting any replies, and they responded with a request for my tracking number (from the email I'd sent in). I provided that and heard from their service dept this afternoon with instructions on submitting a request for return authorization...

    Anyone know how to actually reach Autel?

    My Lite Plus needs some repairs . . . I've called and emailed Autel and have received no response. Is there a way to actually contact someone there? Alternatively, do you know a reliable service company that works on Autel drones? It appears that the piece that connects the camera assembly to...

    distortion in Evo Lite Plus footage?

    It was not too windy - 11-13 mph winds. I don't think it's prop shadows because it was consistent throughout allthe video I shot, regardless what direction the drone was facing. The jelly is definately a problem too.

    distortion in Evo Lite Plus footage?

    I did the firmware update 3 days ago for the Evo Lite Plus, then took it out to fly. I'm seeing a distortion in all video taken since then; it almost looks like prop shadows but it is constant, no matter what direction I'm facing (into sun, away, to the side, etc.) Is this the jitter issue that...

    Firmware Update: LITE/LITE+ 1.2.16

    I've tried updating the firmware 20 times, and it fails to download. After this many tries it's up to 5% downloaded. Really frustrated with it, although it sounds like the new firmware is not reliable for everyone. Maybe it's a good thing.

    Firmware Update: LITE/LITE+ 1.2.16

    If you check the sky app at the Play Store (Android) you may see an update is available there. I didn't get any notice that an update was available, nor did my drone see a firmware was available. I went to Play Store and found the app update. After I installed that, the app now identifies the...

    Long-time Drone Flyer, YouTuber near Dallas, Texas

    I've been flying drones for several years (Yuneec, DJI, Autel, Skydio, Parrot . . . ) and have my Part 107 certification. I also own the Jeff Sibelius channel on YouTube, so I'm always trying out different drones all the time. I recently purchased an Evo II Pro from a fellow boardmember...

    Firmware update fails at 64% and gimbal won't work again.

    I talked to Vertigo Drones today and they said it will still be a couple weeks.

    U.S. Dealers for Autel Drones

    I'm thinking of buying the Lite + when it becomes available - I know I can get it from Chinese retailers but I want to stick with a U.S. website. I know about Vertigo Drones and Advexure. Any thoughts on those companies or others who are good to work with?

    PURCHASED - WTB Evo 1 battery charger

    I've lost the charger for my Evo 1 . . . I'm planning to sell that drone and need to get a new charger for it. If you have a charger you can spare, let me know. I'm looking to spend $40 USD, delivered to Texas.

    Evo Accessories

    Have you sold the Evo 1 battery chargers? If not I'd be interested in buying one of those. Would you take $40 for one charger, shipped to Texas?
