SCROLLERS!
Just for you:
XXXXXXXXXXXX - Наука та технологія
I've taken my Autel Evo over 3 miles out over the ocean - no problems - comes home every time.
Have you attached floats like those round styrofoam balls in case of emergency water landing? I understand the batteries can drop from 75% to 10% with no warning when they start going bad. Search "drone floats pontoons" if you are curious what i mean.
Yeah, that sure is an impressive drone. I just don't understand why people don't like the color? I think it's awesome, in every way. Thanks for the video Ken.
Maybe I’m too old, but I remember a time in the 00s when orange was the go too color for everything, every rapper had an orange Lambo
I mean color shouldnt even be an issue, you can buy skins of any color you want for like 20 bucks, and the orange is for the utility of not losing it, which should trump aesthetic value
Easy to find when crashes . If I don't like it. I'll paint it. Love this drone
I'm not big on orange but it certainly is better for visual, especially for us old guys. It's easy to loose sight of a darker color quad when your at 390'+ above ground level. There's always times that you want to check footage or telemetry and when you look back up it seems to have disappeared. I can see the Evo 2 with no problem at 390'+. My Mavic pro there have been time that I've had to drop it down to about 200' before I can see it in a bright sky, the Air 2S, sometimes I have to turn on the auxiliary light.
I need me an army green
Nothing like a drone test and heart monitor testing. That thing is impressive
I’ve had one since August. Sold my MP2. No regrets.
Don’t say that🤣😭 I just got my M2P almost 2 months back
I like the look. It looks "serious". It reminds me of mini subs on Jacques Cousteau specials when I was a kid!
You know, when the #1 DJI fan boy says ” Ok Autel you win” that says so much more.
Autel is dji copy admit or no. Maybe better but still copy.
@@darkonojic7494 ok fanboi
@@wombatkiller69 Im not fanboy its a fact.
@@darkonojic7494 yeah definitely true you have a point
@@darkonojic7494 its so dumb autel sued dji over quick release props but dji can't sue them for literally copy pasting the mavic design? It's stupid
Pretending that Adam can see it is a good one.
😂😂😂
right? 😂😂
Oh man. I am having a blast watching your videos. Not just for drones but for humor and entertainment value. Keep up fantastic work!
I loved it when you were talking to the Drone and then you said "oh you", that was so funny
Congratulations, I'm glad you found it I always knew that was an awesome drone
Cant afford this, but really cant ask for more with the DJI Mini 2 although not 8K, range is awesome for a mini drone
Great video Ken - I'm pretty happy with mine too
I enjoy seeing how much fun you and are your friend are having on this outing!
Ken amazing video and awesome test. great work brother
Great adventure! I have had an Autel EVO 1 for almost two years. It is my primary drone. Some thoughts:
• I have found you can actually improve the telemetry if you place the antenna sticks in a down position out of the way of the phone (or whatever imaging device you choose).
• Ludicrous mode burns a lot of battery life at a variable rate - in a low battery circumstance (I’ve had a few), the better strategy seems to be to hit the “go home” button.
• Orange is a great help in maintaining VLOS. I just got a Skydio 2 - its sky blue. Very dumb choice.
• I will buy the Autel EVO 3 - the next model that has built-in RID wifi crap to keep the FAA bureaucrats at bay - when it is on the market.
Be well.
I hope they come up with a way to make the current Autel drones compliant without an addon module. It should be possible. I don't know if the technology to do what the FAA wants even exists yet. I haven't heard of any yet.
@@SW-Video I suspect the add-on stuff will come from third party vendors... Effectiveness may vary. 🙄
@@edruttledge342 : Someone from DJI posted on one of their Facebook pages that we should not worry about it one bit. When the time comes they will release a software update to take care of this RID thing. I'm hoping the Autel drones have the same capability. Autel and DJI knew this was coming for a long time now so I guess we just wait to find out. The budget off-brand GPS drones might be able to do something as well with their app's. A deal might be made to RID the app and/or controller instead of the drones for models that have a less than 1 km range. Time will tell.
Great footage guys! Thanks, Ken for this super interesting range test!
Awesome range test Ken and Adam!! What an amazing drone!! I'm impressed what Autel has developed and designed. Thank you.
Wish I could hit the like button twice, so I hit it 3 times instead. Love the editing.
Agreed!
I’m glad to see that you’re enjoying the EVO II, so many people don’t like it because it’s not a Mavic 2 pro. I found it to fly very well and take good video. It think it’s the equal for the Mavic but with better obstacle avoidance and AI.
I'm flying both the E2P and the M2P. The E2P has better avoidance sensors for sure. I've gotten better low light photography with the E2P, especially using the 6K mode.
I have yet to try flying during low light with mine, but I have the 8K so I didn’t expect much from the 1/2 inch sensor.
@@zackmorrison1392 its great for sunsets
I definitely agree with you on that one an longer battery for longer flight time.
The low light footage is great, very impressive, I like mine, doesn't fly as well as the mavics
Fantastic video Ken. Awesome review. I always appreciate your honesty in your reviews. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ken for the awesome review. After flying Chroma, Yuneec, EVO ! and a friends Mavic 2 I went back to the EVO time and time again. Then the EVO 2 6k caught my eye and I was hooked. Yes the orange may be ugly but with these old eyes looking up in the sky that orange brick is easy on the eyes. Hope you get more time with this one before it goes back would like to see some more. Thank you for all you contribute to the community!!
Turn your antennas down. The signal doesn't come out of the end. It comes out of the flat side. When turned down, you get better upward angle out of the flat side of the antennas ....and better distance. It also isn't shadowed by your phone or tablet that way.
Excellent vid great mix of humour and fact realy impressed on how quiet it was when you flew passed youe pall
Stay well

Amazing video sir! One of my favorites ever!
Awesome footage and great video Ken
Another great vid thanks Ken!
Ken, you did it again. What a great Legal demonstration. Thanks for showing your viewers how it's done! What a great drone!
You mean illegal don't you?
@@zigzagsox Nope, he had Visual Observer via radio which is how it's supposed to be done. He even made sure there was no traffic when crossing the roadway.
Where are you went wrong was putting it in Ludacris mode. Although you made a return of substantial gain the battery depletes really quickly when you put it in Ludacris mode more than twice as fast. So a little advice for a future flight of longevity. And yes it does have a find my drone feature it beeps. P. S. The battery depletion if done Soli one time will not hurt the battery.
Darn - you have the best luck ! Love the humour and content of your videos, Ken - always looking for another...
Awesome video ken.. really impressive distance. Glad its ok.
Awesome range test, the EVO 2 can really good the distance. You gave me a scare when you couldn't find for a few minutes, I'm glad it landed safely with no damage. I love this video, you had me on the edge of my seat.
Ken...Excellent video. You're one lucky dude. Thanks for the video, the comedy and the range test :).
Excellent video. Thank you!👍
Very nice... you guys were great... awesome vid... fantastic info...... excellent adventure!
Great video Ken !!
great test mate. thank you
Great segment Ken and Adam! I thought you were going to kiss the drone when you found it and held it up. Classic! (Scott NJT)
I just got that exact drone. I already loved it, but after seeing this video, I have even more confidence. A++++
When asked if you can still see the drone the only possible answer is always yes.
I'm going to wrap my Air 2 in a bright orange skin because it really does help to see it farther.
I actually ended up buying this drone as a result of this video. Thanks for making it!
Good video and thank you for sharing
Great video ken , but yesterday I had my air 2 out to 20k feet away (not up😉) and made it back with 27 % battery remaining . Still impressive though. Also can your friend spot for me over in the UK, he doesn't even need to cross the Atlantic he can do it from home with an eyesight like that . Great as always mate .
Loved it. Great video and very funny. I have the evo 1 which I love but this is another level.
That was so good 👍Autel is gonna sell a ton of these things.
GREAT VID KENNY!
Oh man my stomach sank when you hit critical. I knew there was no way of stopping it from landing. Great video. I love my Autel Evo 2 Pro 6K. And I did put my flat screen on top of my old Zenith a while ago. Lol Thank you again. Love your videos. Also I believe the orange color has 2 purposes. It’s easier to see and helps to avoid bird strikes. Just a guess. But they are in Washington state. And they have aggressive Eagles there. Amongst other large birds.
Hi Ken! You definitely had guts flying this thing so far out! But thanks for showing us! Very nice! Little idea for you after I had a fly away lost forever drone once... I now use a Marco Polo tracking device every time I fly. It is completely a separate system from the drone. You Velcro a micro transmitter on the drone (10 or so grams) that lasts two weeks on full charge. You then 'wake' the transmitter up (hopefully never) putting the system in search mode by using a handheld directional locator that directs you to the drone transmitter. Would have been perfect for this situation. Range is about a mile but far enough. Walk/drive around slowly waiting for a drone ping-back response and then walk in the direction it tells you to. I fly comfortably knowing I have this backup engaged. Might be better systems out there now as I've had this for years, but it's all I need and worth the couple hundos for piece of mind. Search Google for Marco Polo Locator made in the USA. Thanks again for all you do!
Fun to watch
... Thank you🤟
Loved the show Ken, give us more please
Great Video of the Autel ii pro range test!!
wow this is insane range! You are brave to do it Ken :)
Howdy, Ken. This range test was a BLAST! Thanks for the white knuckle flight. The Evo II Pro is one impressive bird! Take Care.
Glad you got it back, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. 🤣
Timing is funny for me - sold my Phantom 4 two weeks ago and bought a second Evo II Pro. Love this aircraft.
Awesome I do have the original Autel Evo and it has always done everything that I need but after watching this I absolutely need this one also thanks for the great content.
Awesome video Ken. Yes i remember the TV cabinet days lol
Hi Ken, first of all thanks for your videos. I've been following since I began flying in and around 2017 and they have always been helpful. I was wondering about LIDAR. Have you used it for mapping? Is there a device that can be installed on a Phantom 4 Pro or a Evo II Pro?
I have this same drone and it's rock solid.. love it in the wind, rock steady on some jobs i did the other day with the wind around 15 but I had to get them done and with no problems.
Get your assistants a scooter so that they can keep LOS for longer lol love your videos as always Ken. Appreciate what you do for the drone community!
I purchased this already with much research but your video sealed the deal and assured me I made the right choice. Also I been watching for years and love your videos!!
Hey thanks so much! 🤓
That was a fantastic video and really funny. You did an unbiased range test that was great, glad you found the drone 🚁👍🤣
Great Job Ken and Autel BRAVO!!
Awesome thanks for this one👍👍
Zip tie for neck strap remote holder! Awesome inexpensive idea!!! Thanks for that tip!
It's ken again 😎,great test ken 👍👍👍👍
You'se GUYs having 2 much fun! 💛
That awkward moment where you said about selling the phantom, but could've used it to find the Autel from the air at the end lol great video!
Welcome to the club!! As for it being ugly, you of of all people should know, if it looks ugly, but it works, then it's not ugly!! Thanks for doing this, I've been too chicken to push my evo2 pro that far especially without a remote observer. I'm also too chicken to try it with strong winds. I did get Autel Care just in case though.
that was a great adventure! very great video i enyojed it!
That is why I put neon orange skin on my Mini 2 so that I can see it in the air and on land. Awesome video Ken!
I do have to say...KEN THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO...... Did you Pee in your pants when you lost the drone.? I was laughing my Ass off.....
You are a funny bugger Ken, beaut video mate, all the best from Australia.
Thanks so much!
🇦🇺👍
This video made me subscribe. Awesome content with an cool dude 😂
hilarious video glad ya found it. made me rethink what skin to put on my air 2s lol
hi Ken, can you please tell me what brand radio you are using, and again, a great video 👍
Unbelievable video dude awesome 👌🏾you had me standing out of my seat 🥵
Awesome video, I was ready to type my 'OH NO KENS DONE IT AGAIN' comment but was amazed to see it lives to fly another day, Thank God it was an Orange drone which makes spotting it easier. What was the total flight time before landing? The gods where on your side today keep up the great work
Not sure with this drone yet. No Return To Home feature and flight distance is not that impressive.
These dudes are straight DBags. Flight range and return to home are far superior to this test. All the settings are there. The Evo is superior in every way, in my opinion.
agree!
@@airfoilengine3799 but,they seem to have a battery issue it seems,,,Bad cells,bulging batteries..etc
This episode has everything - I was riveted! Cliffhanger ending!
the thing probably needs some solar charging capabilities so it can recharge when lost in distant places
Good idea for all long range drones. I guess the tech hasn't gotten there yet. It would need to be a skin that doubles as solar voltaic charging and somehow ties into the battery. Of course if it landed in a shady spot that wouldn't help it a lot with the current tech (I think).
Good video. Would like to see more of the mini 2 tho
Fantastic test 👏
This is a very nice distance of 5km. I like your video You have a great drone.
Your vids are so much fun to watch. I need an adventure
Get out there and get you one!
WOW!!!
Amazing and so glad you found it. I can’t believe it hovered so long before landing either. You will have to update us on the battery, is it dead or alive?
Battery lived!
Evo is fine, but the zoom-eyes of Kens Spotter is what impressed me the most.
Nice test Ken. One disadvantage revealed over DJI that you disclosed was battery depletion behavior. With DJI when it decides to land you still have control. You can counter the decent with left stick ascend while still moving forward. You could have made the road with DJI because they DON'T disengage RC control with auto-land like Autel. But everything else was impressive.
I take mine 5 miles down these mountain lines here in Harrogate Tn. Love it
Wow, kept recording and SAVED it too. What a concept.
Great 👍 video Ken. Being a Kensumer, I have to space out my purchases. That being said Mrs.Caffeine and I are enjoying Danellies book Evolve Healthy.
Damn it! Ken, had me so worried I went and checked on my drone😂 love the video
Thanks!
Definately looks like a better choice than a DJI drone, but i hope they change the beeping. I dont need beeps at full battery, i need it when its in the dang cornfield :)
That was definitely an adventure. It must do more than 5k though. I also found out that if you go to Sports mode on low battery, there is a high probability you won’t make it back. Normal mode eats the battery slower but still gets you back home depending on distance of course. Nice test flight.
Good channel, man. Have a question - maximum height this dron can do?
Hey Ken great video. Have you test the evo2pro with the crystal sky or tripltex monitor? I'll be receiving my new Evo2 pro this week Can't wait. Thanks again.
Nice that was super cool!
I love mine, it’s a great drone. I still like the color on the pro 2 better at this point out of camera. Love your videos , they make my day sometimes;)
Great video 😊🤗
Still have my EVO 2 PRO version one, and still love it.
You can put it in American mode by using Imperial measurements and the antenna are supposed to be pointing down not up.
I was thinking about that myself. I own an E2P 6K as well.
Whole world use metric.
@@useryggfdcc Outside of the USA that is correct. This was filmed inside the USA. I like the metric system. It makes more sense but we Americans don't think in metric.
