clearly this is the best drone i have owned (i currently have more than 5) and it is because of the 6k camera. so you want the evo 2 pro model not the evo 2 8k. the videos that i produce are amazing and for that reason alone, i recommend it. not for the newbie but for someone who wants an awesome drone but does not want dji. this is not a tracking drone like the skydio, you don't use googles like the dji fpv, and this isn't a sub-250 that you can pack around town and fly "unregistered." it's in a class by itself. and you can get it at best buy for $1199 if you want to skip all the unnecessary at-time-of-purchase stuff: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/aute...Id=6409620

things you should know:
1.you won't need extra propellers; they don't need to be changed out unless you crash. i'm over a year and i have never had to change props until they went to the next design. don't pay for a bunch of extra props you won't ever use.
2.batteries are expensive but never pay more than $150.
3.there is a smart controller nearly ready to launch for the evo 2; it's expensive.
4.autel care (similar to dji care refresh) is available but it's expensive.
5.don't let the orange color fool you; this drone is absolutely beautiful.
6.finally, all drones have issues whether it's dji, skydio, or autel. i've had them all for the last couple of years and none are worse than the next and for me, none have been so bad that i couldn't live with it. autel may not have a sw update every week but they are regular and they try to fix things, just like everyone else. you might read about a horror story or two but it's isolated. drones don't fly away and start up on their own, and they get easily confused or land in the water. drones as a technology is still pretty fresh, so please set your expectation.
7.i don't work at autel and i'm not trying to sell this drone but if you work it and you have good software, you can actually make videos like this (in your own country): https://youtu.be/VsmUNtVQtOY

Much bigger. Longer flight time. More sensors. Better customer support. No flight restrictions.

Did Autel hire a designer from Black+Decker?

I used the SD chrome extension and it appears to be 2.5%.

Seems like the DJI Mavic 2 Pro does better in many ways. Google the comparison for more details. I wanted to buy this for the geofencing or lack there of but it seems there are still bugs regarding drift, transmission, and tracking. Anyone else have personal experience with the comparison to add? I am interested... Thanks.

Response to firemanke:

Thanks for pointing that out but I wasn't responding to arjun90's question since the DJI Air 2 is not in the same class as the Autel EVO II Pro. The DJI Mavic 2 Pro is in that class, thus, my question. I have already watched a few videos and know the differences but wanted to hear from some SD'ers who have had personal experience with both.

You are correct in saying that "Attention to detail is your friend," but knowledge of the subject matter before putting your foot in your mouth should be your better friend.

if only autels software was actually any good I'd buy this. my original Evo had nothing but problems, even flew away and would've been gone if it wasn't for the trees. others had similar problems. I'd go read autel forums before buying their products
