I've seen a few people have issues with their first flight due to the controller not being calibrated properly. Therefore I'd recommend new drones owners calibrate the controller as well, before their first flight. And immediately after take off check that your controller actions correspond with the response of the aircraft, ie : up, down, forward, back, yaw left & right, sideways left & right.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm upgrading from a Mavic Air to the Evo Pro II, and I will only have half a day to get used to it before I need to shoot a property. This video is an amazing help. You rock!!!
Hi, thanks for the info. Just a note don’t know if it makes a difference but as part of the compass calibration I believe they ask you to point the nose down during the second part of the calibration. Also to make sure you have no metal in pockets, or your watch on your wrist..I have not done it with the controller in hand as well. Just anything that might interfere with the compass while setting it up.
Yes the picture on the app points it down but I have done it both ways and it's been fine. Same with my other drone and it was either way but good point. Yes you are correct to stay away from metal when doing calibration for sure. Thanks for watching!
The picture in both the User Manual and the App manual shows the nose pointed up. The App manual has a red correction where the word "Downward" has been struck out. So I believe the intention is to face the nose upwards. I have had several failures trying to calibrate with the nose down and also rotating around my body. I now always calibrate by rotating just the aircraft and doing the second part with nose upward and it seems to work best.
The "older USB Type C" connector is called USB Micro. Question: Does the phone you use need to have a cellular connection? I have an older phone I keep around and just use on WiFi. Could I repurpose it for drone use?
Hey, no wifi will work. You only need a connection to check for software updated when booting up the drone. If all updated then the cable is what connects your phone to the drone so you are good.
Excellent video for new owners. Just ordered mine tonight. I was hoping the Compass Dance was going to be a thing of the past with all the new technology. Have not flown for about 5 years after accumulating a pile crashed quadcopters.
Great video my drone friend. Hey GOOD JOB. Thanks so much for sharing Captain. This video is awesome. You covered a lot of information. I also have the Autel Evo 2 8k Version and i love it. I believe this drone is just fantastic all the way around. You just got yourself a Big Fan and a Big supporter here. I clicked on your Bell Notifications. Let’s help and support one another Captain. Have a great evening Captain. Thanks for all you do and please keep flying.
Most excellent, you’re the first one to get in-depth in the controller and give us a secure starting point. For a novice like me it was most help full. Definitely got a follow from me and a Thumbs up 👍 on content. Great Job !!!
Kevin thanks so much! I got more coming. I am going to do a walk-through of the intelligent tracking features next. Proba my shoot and edit this weekend.😉. Also feel free to share my videos, it helps me a lot!
Can you please do a video on controller charging because mine is not charging through the proprietary 90 degree angle connection or the USB A type connection! I tried different cables and connected it to charging hub but still not showing it is charging when I turn on the controller.
I just ordered one of these "Rotary13B1 Remove Before Flight Key Chain" so I don't forget about the gimbel guard. Saw it on FB and ordered it immediately. Available at your favorite online store for $10 bucks (3x)
I just gor my EVO 2 Pro and had my first flight. OMG...the images and MP4 files are outrageous in color, resolution, and clarity. That 1" sensor and 6K res is worth it IMHO. I just don't like when it stops moving after 10 feet when close to a door or wall. I fly from inside my porch door in the winter...hehehe :-) BTW, thanks for your very informative review. I'll test the RTH tomorrow. Cheers!
Ray, so happy for you! Yes the pro is a worthy upgrade for sure. If you dont want it to stop you can turn off the sensors but beware it's much easier to crash..lol
@@HobartsReviews Hey so after my flight I just put the micro sd card in my card reader and import the footage for editing? I didnt see any instruction from Autel anywhere about anything like that. Liked & Subscribed
@@TheChaz81 You can leave the SD card in the aircraft and connect the aircraft to your PC or Mac via the USB port. That is mentioned in the manual. However, what they do not mention is that you also have to turn the aircraft power on. That is how I transfer files from my Canon camera, but I do not have to power the camera on.
I should also mention that when connecting the aircraft to my PC, I get warning messages suggesting the card may be unreadable and offering the option of running a correction tool. I chose to not run the tool, in case it corrupted the data. I was able to transfer the files without any problem. Also, 2 drives appeared in Explorer. It took me a while to remember that the second one would be the internal 8GB storage. So connecting the aircraft to a PC or Mac is the only way to transfer files from the internal storage.
Great detail on informing the owners of the EVO 2,. why doesn't the manufacturer provide these detailed instructions ? Lots of room for personal experience or lack of to take place & to be expressed whether right or wrong. And someone's wrong or bad experience could set a trend of buying towards any pc of equipment.
I have an issue with choppy video feedback during flight as well. I think there is something that takes the drone a few minutes to get the best resolution because it always smooths out after I set down and take back off.
Yeah I did that too but it was still choppy. It had to be the boats radar and train bridge behind me and I'm sure some other stuff interfering with my feed. It's the only time so far. Went back to normal at another location.😀
I'm trying to change my flight control settings but I don't see a "Save" option. And everytime I go into a newer part of the Menu and come back to flight control, it defaults back to the manufacturers settings. Can someone tell me how?
I'm new to this I've just bought the 8k evo 2 so I've got a bit of learning to do, I've got fishing drones and rc helis and planes but this looks epic so can't wait to fly it tomorrow after I so all the calerbrations etc any additional advice???
I pretty much cover it all in the video accept registering with the FAA. If you have rc heli's this should be a breeze to fly..lol. Heli's are hard..haha
@@HobartsReviews no worries I've had it up twice it way Limited to height and distance so that's all turned off now does it record straight to the SD card on the drone? Cheers
@@TheChaz81 That is what I assumed as well. You see videos on UA-cam that go slightly blurry as the drone turns. I expected this could be resolved by using the gimbal control. Maybe a suggestion for Autel.
Why use the phone at all? All the controls are built into the controller. Also, I completely agree that ludicrous mode is too difficult. On my DJI it’s a switch on the side of the controller and there have been times where I flew out over a golf course to get photos and the winds caught me and I had to use sport mode to gain any ground and RTH. If I have to go into an app I risk losing my drone.
No they do not...yet. The controller does have a screen in the middle of it but it is smaller than the DJI smart controller. You also can use this drone with the controller only if you do not have a phone or tablet because it has a screen built into the controller.
I don't know what is going on. I check the Autel explore app on my phone and check my devices. It is indeed show my drone serial number matched what is show on the box. But when try to register the drone. Its keep saying incorrect or not exist. I can't register my extended warranty. It says the same thing wrong # or not exist.
Im trying to register serial number and "register password" on website and it's not taking my serial number and I can't find the register password. Any advice? thank you
I have a question for you. Can you please explain to me. How do you able to recording video with screen capture show all the flight information, like some of your other video?
Same question. Dji has too much restriction on its geofencing algorithm. It renders its useless when travelling , it has too much limitations to where i can fly it..
Great Video. Just got my first EVOII I think I am the only person in Scotland to have 1. Not popular in UK, the heavily marketed DJI is. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks Susan! You made a good choice. I also had DJI previously and I am glad made the switch. The support is AMAZING! Oh and the drone is even better!
I am planning to purchase an Evo 2 but not sure which one i should buy. I like the bundle package that the Evo 2 8K has. Seems like a great value but not sure if i should just spend the extra to get the Evo 2 Pro. Any Advice?
Get the Pro! You get much better images and video because of the 1 inch sensor. Unless you have the superman of all PC's you can't edit 8k anyways. I have also heard the 8k camera is not that great. Lots of people say I wish I got the pro. 😉
Hi Hobart. Where do you find the aircraft serial#? I bought the Autel Evo II drone from a authorized dealer. Brand new. I found the serial# listed on the BOX said Aircraft S/N but when I tried to register the aircraft with that number. Its said the number is not exist. I have send an email to Autel about this already. Just to confirm, where did you find your serial number? Thank you.
Hey Michael, It's actually inside the battery compartment. Pull your battery out and look inside on the bottom and believe you will find it there.😉 I had to find it to get my state farm policy and asked Autel where it was at.
@@HobartsReviews Thank you for your respond. Much appreciated. I did looking at the battery compartment but there is nothing said S/N but rather I see the FCC # and IC#? which one to use?
I need your information.. This video was 6 months ago, so what do you think about E2P? Are there much problems E2P? or are they getting better and better? I am considering taking E2P or M2P .. to real estate promotion
Beware, I had my Mavic Mini set for 100' because I thought the highest tree was 80' AGL which would give me plenty of clearance. I was wrong, I ended up with my Mini stuck in a tree 100' above ground level. I found the record for the highest tree in the state which was 120' so I changed the RTH to 150'. A wind storm blew my Mini out of the tree, it fell 100' to the ground and sustained $12.00 in damage. It's back in the fleet. I wonder how high the cell towers in my area are?
sir thanks for the great tips on this it was very informative i own the evo 1 and getting ready to get the 2 and these tips are a big help stuff i still didnt know and you helped out a lot love your presentation on the this whole video thanks for your time on it hope to see more of your vids from Austin Texas have a great day and stay safe
Robert.... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I really appreciate it more than you know. I work really hard on making my videos as informative and helpful as possible. I try to add a little entertainer and flare as well.😉 I'm going full steam so you will definitely see more from me. I'm actually uploading a video right now about IMU calibration. Thanks for watching Robert!
Hi mate I have evo2 but they don't have any video time-lapse options do you know many people want to make video but no more option only have take a picture if do you know please let me know that.
@@jasona9231 Have about 6 flights so far. Love the flight control and night flight abilities. Still trying to dial the camera in. I believe my poor image quality is my fault. I just need more time behind the stick I think. Get the rugged flight kit if you get one. I just bought the drone without any kits. Big mistake. Oh and I hit a tree, lost a chunk of a propeller and still had enough control to manually land it safely. The local S&R team just bought one too.
Hey, this video was more geared towards setting up the Evo for flight but yes if you have not registered with the FAA then of course you should do that!😉
Thanks for the video content great all around. My question is maybe some feedback, from subs about how it's going I know who wants to come back to youtube, once you fly it for the very first time, (you dont want to go back inside lol) I get this, Iam going to be ordering the rugged pack kit, a few skins, but hey i want to really get going with this, and perfect it in time. if you do anymore videos i`ll be there, so many on here just do a test run and dont know what it even does, like that boat mode, a fella didn't know you did great by the way. nothing against dji whatsoever, but I see the competition has arrived and all videos i have watched are nothing but awesome reviews, iam sure it will have hiccups but hey it's a tech gadget, and a darn good one by the looks i was going to get a dji phantom 4 pro, but it was louder than the wife`s car (WHEN THE DAMM MUFFLER BLEW OFF ONE MORNING) lol.. i dont want to get pulled over for a noisy muffler in the damn thing lol.. anyway all the best to all new flyers( and lets git er done). Iam in Canada, so i have already looked up the DOT here it's called, and I will be needing a pilot's license by the looks of it and going back home, after the covid has slowed to a halt somewhat?? yeah, who knows BUT following THE rules been stuck here, since August 08/2020 and hopefully make it back home by 2058 (smiles) anyway that said. cant wait to head back,to the east coast living!... cant wait to get my hands on mine, will be ordering it today I have done so much research on this autel, I use their OBD materials, very good so we will see. take care all, and safe travels/stay safe out there. (wear a mask) Please...... p.s. the wife always has said I`am worse than a woman, lolol.. I dont agree.... lol. (sorry for the book writing, but the signing will happen in 1 year from today's date when i have this under my belt....~Dave
Hey Jimmy, Autel told me 256gb and you are going to need a fast one. I got the sandisk extreme pro V30. This is one of the two they recommend. Because of 4k and 6k you need a fast as card or you may get skipped frames etc. Autel said they had gotten a few conaints on using just the "extreme" SD and said got with the "extreme pro" so far so good.
@@HobartsReviews ok thank you so much. that is what i was thinking but just wanted to be safe. some one else told me to get 2 smaller cards incase the large card fails, but i have never had anything like that happen.
No, boat mode allows you to take off from am unstable surface like a boat. Normally the drone does a check that it's on a flat and stable surface before it will allow you to take off but on a boat that's no possible so they added boat mode to get around that. Tracking is totally separate from boat mode. It should still track you even though you too of from a boat.
You can do it either way it doesn't matter. That is why I explained their are 2 ways of doing it. If the Evo2 says calibration success then it was done correctly. Thanks.
How does some one get I touch with you I’m from WPB my family been there since 1870s we have land in Jupiter that’s along the Loxahachee river and backs up to JD state park and palm beach county natural wildlife area I live in Atlanta but come down to visit my mom in PBG thought you might like to come fly out at our property I have an evo II 6 k as well
Aqui no Brasil tá chegando com força total, se depender de mim vai escrever uma grande história aqui no Brasil como escreveu nos Estados Unidos é país afora por onde tem baixado, aqui eu estou juntando dinheiro pra num futuro te o meu também é sabe que um dia eu ajudei a escrever uma parte dessa história aqui no Brasil.
Oh No! I almost lost mine in the intercoastal last week trying to take a video of Miss Geico powerboat. If you watch that video in the very beginning I fly over a big yacht. That was actually my last shot of the day and my battery was critically low. Right after I flew over to the yacht my drone said critically low battery landing now. If you see where I was you would see that I would be landing in the middle of the water. I was able to control it enough to get it over land before it forced landed itself. It was a super close call and I don't want to ever do that again lol.
@@HobartsReviews so sad sir but don't feel uncomfortable never give up .time is variable so some time good time and bad tim are coming but we haven't feel sad.

Hello Hobart, great video I just got my new EVO II...can you share your settings for getting the best performance and cinematic video? Thanks!
Honestly I just shoot in auto 4k 25fps most of the time. I also slowed my gimbal down and my controls down so I could get smoother shots. 😉

Just ordered mine fw hours ago . Thanks for these informative 7 tips
Do I need to register my evo2 pro??
If you are talking about registering with the FAA then yes you need to register your Evo 2.
@@HobartsReviews LOL!
Great video dude !
Thanks So Much!
Excellent job.
Thank you!
Evo 2 Pro is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Robert.... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I really appreciate it more than you know. I work really hard on making my videos as informative and helpful as possible. I try to add a little entertainer and flare as well.😉 I'm going full steam so you will definitely see more from me. I'm actually uploading a video right now about IMU calibration. Thanks for watching Robert!
@@HobartsReviews hope to see more great vids
@@Robert127 new video up! 😉
Thank you sir. My EVO 2 arrives in 3 days 👍👍👍
Hi mate I have evo2 but they don't have any video time-lapse options do you know many people want to make video but no more option only have take a picture if do you know please let me know that.
I'm not sure I'll have to take a look.
@@HobartsReviews ok if you can try do that
Just bought my evo II 8k today. Charging the battery for tomorrow
Hi there! How do you like it so far?
@@jasona9231 Have about 6 flights so far. Love the flight control and night flight abilities. Still trying to dial the camera in. I believe my poor image quality is my fault. I just need more time behind the stick I think. Get the rugged flight kit if you get one. I just bought the drone without any kits. Big mistake. Oh and I hit a tree, lost a chunk of a propeller and still had enough control to manually land it safely. The local S&R team just bought one too.
Can I order an iPhone cable?
Yes you can
What about the FAA drone registration?
Hey, this video was more geared towards setting up the Evo for flight but yes if you have not registered with the FAA then of course you should do that!😉
Lol. Hard pass.
Thanks for the video content great all around. My question is maybe some feedback, from subs about how it's going I know who wants to come back to youtube, once you fly it for the very first time, (you dont want to go back inside lol) I get this, Iam going to be ordering the rugged pack kit, a few skins, but hey i want to really get going with this, and perfect it in time. if you do anymore videos i`ll be there, so many on here just do a test run and dont know what it even does, like that boat mode, a fella didn't know you did great by the way. nothing against dji whatsoever, but I see the competition has arrived and all videos i have watched are nothing but awesome reviews, iam sure it will have hiccups but hey it's a tech gadget, and a darn good one by the looks i was going to get a dji phantom 4 pro, but it was louder than the wife`s car (WHEN THE DAMM MUFFLER BLEW OFF ONE MORNING) lol.. i dont want to get pulled over for a noisy muffler in the damn thing lol.. anyway all the best to all new flyers( and lets git er done). Iam in Canada, so i have already looked up the DOT here it's called, and I will be needing a pilot's license by the looks of it and going back home, after the covid has slowed to a halt somewhat?? yeah, who knows BUT following THE rules been stuck here, since August 08/2020 and hopefully make it back home by 2058 (smiles) anyway that said. cant wait to head back,to the east coast living!... cant wait to get my hands on mine, will be ordering it today I have done so much research on this autel, I use their OBD materials, very good so we will see. take care all, and safe travels/stay safe out there. (wear a mask) Please...... p.s. the wife always has said I`am worse than a woman, lolol.. I dont agree.... lol. (sorry for the book writing, but the signing will happen in 1 year from today's date when i have this under my belt....~Dave
Thank you for this!
No problem!
Very valuable video - liked and subscribed waiting for mine to be delivered today - I needed a drone with a 1 Inch Sensor 👍👍
Should I register? And how much? And how long the range?
Yes register. Doesn't cost anything and the range is 5.5 miles.
Great video buddy thanks 🙏👍👍👍👍👊👊👊👊
No problem Herman! Thanks for watching.
Great job!
Thank you!
Instant ludicrous mode is important when dodging a bird attack! Flip a switch and run! Going into menu's waste time you don't have.
Cool, thank u for the info. Just got mines .
You're welcome Janet!
i just got my evo 2 but i need to know what is the best and largest capacity sd card i can use?
Hey Jimmy, Autel told me 256gb and you are going to need a fast one. I got the sandisk extreme pro V30. This is one of the two they recommend. Because of 4k and 6k you need a fast as card or you may get skipped frames etc. Autel said they had gotten a few conaints on using just the "extreme" SD and said got with the "extreme pro" so far so good.
@@HobartsReviews ok thank you so much. that is what i was thinking but just wanted to be safe. some one else told me to get 2 smaller cards incase the large card fails, but i have never had anything like that happen.
When you stop boat mode, then you have all the work of controlling it rather than just having it follow you, no?
No, boat mode allows you to take off from am unstable surface like a boat. Normally the drone does a check that it's on a flat and stable surface before it will allow you to take off but on a boat that's no possible so they added boat mode to get around that. Tracking is totally separate from boat mode. It should still track you even though you too of from a boat.
Thanks Hobart!
No problem Alex!
Great video...my Evo 2 Pro should be here in one hour... perfect timing UA-cam
Wow! I bet you are excited! Happy flying!
Great video, this drone looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I think you’re supposed to calibrate the compass by rotating it on its own axis, not holding it away from you and swinging it around.
You can do it either way it doesn't matter. That is why I explained their are 2 ways of doing it. If the Evo2 says calibration success then it was done correctly. Thanks.
Thank you very much!
LOL I like the end comment "there you go baby"" lol I think that's how everyone feel.
Lol..thanks!
Thanks 🍻👏👏👏👏
How does some one get I touch with you I’m from WPB my family been there since 1870s we have land in Jupiter that’s along the Loxahachee river and backs up to JD state park and palm beach county natural wildlife area I live in Atlanta but come down to visit my mom in PBG thought you might like to come fly out at our property I have an evo II 6 k as well
Very nicely done thank you
Gerald, no problem! Thanks for watching!
Great review... great information 👍👍👍👍👍

Enjoyed thst
Thanks
That was very good, thank you.
No problem Jeff!
A mon humble avis le meilleur drone que je connaisse. Meilleur que les chinois .
louder and clear
What do you mean louder and clear?
The older plug is a Micro usb
Yeah..lol. I couldn't think of it at the time..haha
Thank you
Thanks :)
Good video
Thanks Sibu!
After your compass calibration I would add: WAIT FOR GPS LOCK before you take off!
Good point Cactus!
Aqui no Brasil tá chegando com força total, se depender de mim vai escrever uma grande história aqui no Brasil como escreveu nos Estados Unidos é país afora por onde tem baixado, aqui eu estou juntando dinheiro pra num futuro te o meu também é sabe que um dia eu ajudei a escrever uma parte dessa história aqui no Brasil.
# 8, register drone with the FAA. Pretty good otherwise.
Nicely done man.... Be cool!
Thanks so much! 😉
Just a FYI
It’s not a DJI!
You do NOT have to double press ANYTHING on AUTEL. Just press and hold.
Thanks for your video ! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
No problem Andy! Thanks for watching!
I made subscribe
Thank you!
I LOST MY DJI TELLO DRONE in a lake in noida Okhla Birds Century Park 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
Oh No! I almost lost mine in the intercoastal last week trying to take a video of Miss Geico powerboat. If you watch that video in the very beginning I fly over a big yacht. That was actually my last shot of the day and my battery was critically low. Right after I flew over to the yacht my drone said critically low battery landing now. If you see where I was you would see that I would be landing in the middle of the water. I was able to control it enough to get it over land before it forced landed itself. It was a super close call and I don't want to ever do that again lol.
@@HobartsReviews so sad sir but don't feel uncomfortable never give up .time is variable so some time good time and bad tim are coming but we haven't feel sad.
Thumbs up
Thanks
