Review on Autel Robotics Pro Adjustable Quadcopter by Mark Powell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Phenomenal drone! Best in app and remote control car and parts category

I did a lot of research before deciding on Autel Evo. Drone is amazing! It remains stable even in good winds as it has powerful motors. It doesn't have all the pre-programmed flight functions that DJI Mavics have, but for the price it's a better camera in my opinion. 4K 60fps and default color settings are really good. There are other settings to choose from if you want to do your own color correction. All ISO options, frame rates and such are available if you know how to use them. Standard flight speed is around 14mph and can be a bit jumpy when shooting close-ups, but it's excellent for high-altitude shots. For the smoothest video, you'll need to fly in Precision mode, which limits your speed to around 3.5mph. But if you're not trying to get footage but just want to have fun, find an open field and select Ridiculous Speed (yes, named after a line from the Spaceballs movie). It's just a blast going up to 45 miles per hour. Seriously, this drone is for the serious videographer. Like I said, the camera is awesome and the app has everything you need. Buy some NDS filters and you can create professional videos. Flight time for me when not flying in ridiculous mode is about 25 minutes. Homecoming brings the drone back just a few meters from where it took off. And this pack gives you everything you need except NDS filters. If you're using an iPhone, you'll also need to buy an OTG cable as it doesn't include a backlight connector. I'll end up buying a hard case for it, but the included case contains the drone, controller (which is a nice touch), and batteries. It has room for everything except the charger. But maybe there's also a way to put it in the pocket of a Drome. I've never had an issue with a drone, but I know the support team is based in Seattle, which was a big plus for me. The support in the USA was important to me. I cannot recommend this drone enough.

Pros
  • Same as everything before
Cons
  • For old
