I agree with you all that Autel should/could be better marketed. I work in that field as my day job and it's not just engineering or marketing that needs to get it together, it's the entire company. Right now, their biggest asset is customer service. They beat the pants off of DJI in that regard. They need to work on product support and brand awareness. As of now, all I see is them supporting the EVO. It's like they've given up on the XSP. There are many things they can change to generate additional revenue in the company for future products. First off, you have to keep the customers you have. Make them evangelists for your brand by supporting products they already own, offering upgrades to those products, (i.e. the detachable gimbal on the XSP, that is a major marketing advantage that nobody else has that should be exploited to the fullest) and software updates to add additional features to the usefulness of their drones. Try finding a third-party app for things like generating land surveys and such. Don't ever promise/leak/advertise things you aren't 100% going to do. When they were talking about a 1-inch sensor camera and a FLIR/IR camera that would take advantage of the detachable gimbal, they got everyone excited. Following through with that promise would've made DJI very uncomfortable to say the least. That would have given them a market share in the imaging community.
Don't get me wrong, I love my XSP. I haven't had it for very long but except for software advantages and the bigger sensor on the P4, I would rather have my orange pumpkin. I have a co-worker that has had a P4 and currently has a Mavic2Pro, I show him my footage from the XSP and it's just as good as a lot of the footage he gets. There is so much to be taken advantage of in the Autel lineup that I can't even begin to list it all. They could be the top dog at a lower price point and with better service than DJI. Plus adding additional revenue with upgrades and support for their older drones. Nothing irks me more than a company (like Apple) that drops support on their older stuff to get you to buy their newer stuff. That is a slap to the face of their consumers and will lose you more customers than gain new ones. I'm off my soapbox now LOL, everyone have a great weekend and keep 'em flying.
