Chris, You have IMO been the best source of Autel Content and positivity towards them. I read all reviews and I share both positive and negative experiences. I wish Autel would honor them and deliver a fully functioning product at purchase. I have been waiting for the Max 4 T to be reliable against issues I've read and personally experienced. I will reach out to you and share my Max 4 T story in hopes you can give me insight what is the best options in your opinion before I vent my frustrations out here in Public. Thank you! I enjoy your Channel.
It would have been nice to see the owner address all the customer service and hardware/firmware issues that have been said about this company for the last couple of years but instead he introduces the latest drone from Autel. To me if the CS and hardware/firmware issues are not address, then it really doesn't matter how great the Alpha is. Even people in this thread are still talking about the issues with autel. Hard to spend 20K on a drone when it will not be supported by the very company that created it.
Chris, I love your detailed videos.....which leads me to my request for a how to of Autel's A-Mesh please. I have 2 Evo 4 Max drones and would like to do some mapping using both to reduce the mapping time
Hoping to buy an EVO Max 4T within the next month or two. Am concerned about the government and what they will do at the behest of Skydio. When you were chatting with Mr. Lee, did he say anything about what Autel is doing to protect their interests and customers here in the US?
The Alpha looks very nice, how noisy is it compared to the Max series? I have a Max now and it's my 2nd Autel (640T being my first) and I'll likely upgrade to the Alpha later this year. However, I do want to see how Autel does with updates with the Max & Alpha over the next few months. There are a lot of advertised features that aren't really there at the moment that I find important. (Mesh to improve reliability and range, payload drop platforms as I want to be able to deliver rescue devices to folks in the water, as well as proper remote ID for compliance. ). How well they treat the Max platform updates will be my determining factor if I add an Alpha later this year. Thanks Florida Drone Supply for these great videos and information!
I’ve reached out to Autel several times to get clarification on firmware updates that should include mission availability as advertised, with no luck. With more flight experience with this drone (MAX4T) I’ve experienced some obstacle avoidance issues. Nothing too alarming, however could be a huge issue if you have obstacle avoidance set to bypass instead of hover. Specifically, when flying in some flights where there is clearly no obstacle, it will detect an obstacle and be forced to hover…. (This is why I have obstacle avoidance set to hover!). Imagine if the drone detects an obstacle (that’s not there) and then attempts to bypass it… resulting in a fly away. Something that should be addressed, along with many other things.
Chris, Any updates on the MAX 4T? It seems like they’ve stopped with the updates for the software/firmware. I’d like to see all the flight modes as advertised and the ability to plan a mission and upload it to the controller. Right now, only way to get the Autel Enterprise App is directly from Autel, can’t download it on iOS, Android devices, or PC. Also, what do you think about their “support for 8k” camera… when it clearly is only 4K. What do you think this means? Will there ever in the ability to shoot 8k? Curious for your thoughts since it seems you really push Autel products. (Not saying I’m not a supporter, just that they definitely have some problems or concerns that need to be addressed). Seems like they have been putting in too much effort for new drones rather than working out the kinks with the ones that are already released, especially the MAX 4T
There have been several Evo MAX OTA updates released in 2024 with many more firmware updates coming throughout the year. These next few updates will include the anticipated Mesh Networking, supporting 8K imagery, advanced mapping features and other brand new advanced features!
@@FloridaDroneSupply hey Chris, Do you by chance know when Autel will make the live deck available for the Max 4T? I've asked around, but no one seems to have any idea. Some even thought the live deck 2 worked with it!

Very useful video.
The ALPHA looks awesome! I just got a EVO 4T and I'm kicking myself now.
The 4T is a great drone. We would be happy to help add a second Autel to your fleet! - Enjoy your flight. - Chris

Well said!
Yeah autel really sucks
You'd be stupid to buy this unless you have money to blow

So why in the Autel User Manual, State's Geo fencing is installed at factory ? Max 4T #Two, They State don't fly in Rain Snow, heavy Fog ?
cool

That has been the story of this company. Half baked.

@@FloridaDroneSupply awesome, thank you for the reply! Fingers still crossed for this company!
