Bought an 8K recently and love it!! During the day 8K video is near as good as the Pro. Images taken as well. We have a fleet of the E2P and E2 8K at work, and those replaced the Evo 1st gen we had. I bought my own after flying these, and I could not pass up the deal last week ($1046 US for Evo2 8K). Also bought batteries on discount code for $144 each. I'm set for a while now!! The E2 version is bigger, heavier than Evo 1, or M2P we use. Stability is fantastic, but yes, the bigger part is even in the worst areas we get up in the air in under 45 seconds. No messing around with NFZ, no slow GPS aquiring. My favorite camera drone thus far. I plan on buying the 6K camera for this soon too. Great video demo as well. I like that you test camera on the ground side by side.
I have the EVO II 8K and I love it. I specifically chose it because of the ability to change the camera which should make that airframe last for much longer than a Mavic drone that is stuck with the camera that it came with.
Thank you for your amazing video ! Last week I bought the 6k and still waiting for delivery!! I got a very good deal of $1199.00 (US) ! Thanks again and have a happy holidays!!😎🤗
Very detailed comparison.. thanks for the attention towards the video... love your upbeat personality. Do you think you can do a comparison of the photo imagery difference between the 6 and 8K? I'm a photographer and very interested in the Evo Pros' photographic capabilities. Thanks
Just got my evo2 6k .... it is unbelievable! Have the evo 1 which is great but 2 is wild. Still trying to get the crystal sky to dork on the 2 great stuff Steve
Another great video! I enjoyed the comparison and the compassion for people who don’t have the money to drop on a 1,500 dollar drone. However, you did a much better job than others explaining it to people who are new to the drone world or just getting into expensive drones. It’s soo cold! Lol. I love it.
Very neat review and comparison of these magnificent Evo drones Captain! But I wonder with 6K and more so with 8K videos if you need a powerful computer to digest all these pixels ;) I have a powerful pc laptop that can digest 4K easy, but I don't know if it could handle bigger resolutions :)
Thanks. I love my Evo 1. The board went bad after 6 months but they repaired with a new board and I'm back up & running. I have sent it out on a mission and freaked out when video signal was lost so I was flying blind without any control or video. Waited a couple min for it to return but no? 15min later it returned with all video captured to card, I sent it out 2.5mil and it finished mission even though I lost video link and control of drone. I bought new draws.
This is an excellent video! No way I would spend $1800 on a drone as a mere hobbyist, but if aerial videos ever became important for me, it is highly important to see what these drones can do. Thanks, Steve, for going large!
Awesome video Steve. Hey Steve do you have any idea if there's another app we could use to fly the autel evo's ? Like the litchi app to the dji drones?
Great video, I enjoyed the Evo video a few days ago too. I want to get one of these real badly but money is the cog in the wheel. I have an idea for a future video. I am curious about what drone can lift what weight or payload.
Hi Captain, stopped by to say thank you for your reviews and videos. The Evo is an incredible drone and takes phenomenal videos and pictures. I recently had mine stolen, so a word of advice for everyone if you buy a drone of this price point. Get insurance! I lost mine in a smash and grab on my truck (along with $4,000 worth of other equipment) while I was out of town for a wedding. Insurance covered most but I still can't afford to get the drone back (after deductibles and all). Hopefully, I'll get another one next year :(
Hi Cap, LOVE this review. I want the 6K version but just don't really want to shell out the money for it. But hey, miracles DO HAPPEN, right? Keep doing what you do Cap. I always look forward to watching your videos. Much Love, Respect, and Honor from Omaha, Nebraska!!!
Congratulations on the excellent comparison. Putting the images produced by the two drones side by side must have cost you a lot of editing work. For those of us who watched the video, the importance of sensors in image quality was well understood.
Spectacular review, Cap'n. The EVO II is a beauty for sure. I wanted to ask if you had any thoughts or seen anything on your EVO II's about these hairline cracks people are talking about on the forums? From what I can tell they're not structural, but it is something to know about.
Looks like you finally got your snow Steve! Harharhar! The west is still green! Vancouver Island is where I am. Still beautiful but we feel for you in the nation’s Capital. My god those Autels are a wicked, the evo 2 is so nice and I can’t believe all of the sensors. I often dream of having such sweet kit.
Thank you very much for your clear and concise video. I was looking at buying one of these but couldn't decide whether the 6K or the 8K was a better fit for me. After watching your video I've decided the 6K is the better of the two for my purposes. Thank you so very much. Yes, I have a Mavic 2 Pro also, even with the No limit Drones mod on it to remove the No flight zones. But I saw another drone operator with one of these drones yesterday and it caught my attention. Thank you for your humorous style and all the work you put into making these videos enjoyable.
All i understood from the intro about people requesting drone reviews is that CD needs to review everything and more :) i quite like the diversity even if a long while back its probably the budget drone that brought me here
So good to see this review. Even better to hear that you like the EVO. I remember a discussion you had about a year ago when you said with the impending inflation due to the pandemic that Autel might fold up their drone production. DJI is a fantastic drone. Autel Evo, Evo2 are also excellent platforms. I like them both. Having to pick only one, I'd go with the EVO2 8K. I simply could not discern a difference. I must say your comparisons are always informative, comprehensive and well produced. 👍 Thanks for your efforts!
Both drones work very well and produce a great image so you'd be happy with either. The reason I was saying Autel was doomed was due to not having an under 250 gram drone in their lineup. However, Autel survived in part due to the US Government placing a ban on DJI and the fact that DJI dropped the ball on launching the MAVIC 3. I'm pretty sure we are going to see an under 250 gram drone from them late this year or at CES next year.
Thanks lol this is very good information hope they come up for sale ! Probably going to get my part 107 permit first.....learning there is allot more to drones than just drones.
the 6k just looks better to me, the 8k washes out a little like playing a PS5 game on a PS4, cant' beat that 1 inch sensor. Thanks for the comparison, ordering now.
Very interesting Steve and good comparison. I noticed that the 8k version video stuttered and was quite noticeable. Having been a DJI owner since the first Phantoms I’ve never really looked at a competitor but the 6k model is worth a looking at I believe. How do they fly compared to the Mavic or Phantom lines? I wasn’t overly impressed with the Fisher Price looking Transmitter and would like to use an iPad Mini, is their provisions for a tablet? I’m mainly a stills photographer but also do some videography and the lack of geofencing is a big plus. Be interested in your thoughts...
8k video at 24 FPS shoved into a Video timeline of 4K at 30 FPS will cause stutter (as you've noted). On your home computer (if you have a state of the art computer... it is super smooth and looks amazing). The EVO II drones fly different than the MAVIC drones. If you have been flying MAVICS all your life you will notice a difference and after a few flights you'll no longer notice a difference (i.e. you move the joysticks less). The transmitter is small but such a great item due to the display which can feed back the video signal and make the use of a phone/tablet not needed if in a hurry to film.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks Steve for your reply and it made total sense. I just made a short 4K video here in Alberta with my Mini 2 but RUclips butchered it after it uploaded. How do you get 4K video to look so good on YT? I’m using premier pro and exporting as RUclips 4K. Cheers👍🏻
@@canadagoose62 Perhaps you viewed it too quickly before RUclips fully processed it. Watch it again and this time ensure the resolution you are watching it at is higher than 1080p.
For anyone really curious about the difference between 1 inch sensors and 1/2 inche sensors or less see youtube videos of the insta 360 one R in low light tests especially indoors huge difference
Autel has done a amazing job with this Drone. Since Firmware 2:5:12 came out if the Drone is Calibrated correctly there is no possible way to get a more perfect Drone. Thanks Captain
Great vídeo Steve. The Autel Evo is my favorite drone. A year ago I ordered a V-CPTR from Zero Robotics. After 6 months asking for a refund, it just got it. We will not see that drone on the air but I will keep watching your great reviews.
Thanks for the amazing review i was actually thinking to grab one of them am yet to decide on which one, however why to my eyes i feel the motion of the 8K is not smooth? is that due to processing?
I have been flying drones for years mostly DJI from a Mavic Pro to an Inspire 2 with the X4S camera and by far the EVO 2 Pro has given me the best footage that I have ever seen. Just curious what SD card are you using for your EVO 2 Pro when shooting 6K?
Love your Channel! Thank you for all you do! Question: I am new to Autel Evo II and want to hand launch and catch but am not seeing any videos with truly good information. Can you hand launch and catch without boat mode being on?
So it's obvious that the 6K version is the better one, just that 1 inch sensor is all what makes it worth choosing it over the 8K which does not do well in the dark.. See that's why I love my Mavic Mini so much, just a lil baby drone that flies so well and films like it's bigger brothers and sisters.. Sweet Keep well and be safe everyone!
Capt Drone... I feel your pain, that’s why currently I live in Florida... it’s a balmy 76 degrees (24c). Just giving you a hard time for the hard times you give us when I watch your videos and drool wanting to have one of those Evos drones... 🥲. Nice video...
The only problem with 6K & 8K recordings is needing new apps to edit these video files, and the faster CPUs needed to handle them, and the faster network needed to upload them, and the faster memory cards to record them. It's a never ending technology race.
Yep love that color Steve! I am still flying the CSJ-X7 Pro 2 and saving for the Mavic 2 Pro but I also want the Evo 6K, Phantom 4 V2.0, Mavic Mini 2, Inspire 2, etc.....oh my!
The 6k gave ultra-smooth video; the 8k did not. Do you thing this was a post production problem or the drone itself? Loe your channel; always as entertaining as it is informative 😊
I bought an autell evo2 8k drone a year ago. After the 4th time it was sent for repair, it never came back! In the 3rd month of writing emails, they finally give me my money back! I had problems with smart flying, my battery got stuck and could not be pulled out, recording in the wrong direction, while recording visible propellers, ect...
Thank you Captain! As always - the overview is excellent! I will add on my own - I bought myself Autel Evo 2 Pro 6K and Mavic 2 Pro, this set of drones covers almost all tasks for aviation work. The Autel Evo 2 Pro is a great photogrammetry drone, as it has better image clarity compared to the Mavic 2 Pro. Mavic 2 Prois a great drone for aero filming. Full set! I look forward to the Mavic 3 Pro and put the money aside to buy it - I really hope it will be great! Good luck Captain!
Does the 6K sensor crop when shooting at 4K natively? (IOW are the extra pixels processed into improving the light gathering or are they tossed?) Thanks!
@@ivaneberle3972 No. 6K is processed in software. (according to the manufacturer's information - I can't give a link, I lost it, try it yourself) Good luck!
@@aircamdrone3727 It makes no sense that it would discard pixels... Worse light gathering at 4K capture than native 4K 1" sensor would result. (Shooting at 6K and downconverting to 4K would prove a time-consuming burden, so shooting at 4K in-camera is greatly preferable) Hoping someone can jump in this discussion with conclusive answer or link
Last time I was in Prague minus 20 still managed to drink lager in a heated beer tent. Expecting snow here in Scotland any time soon, hopefully SG 906 pro 2 will arrive next week first drone for me.
The aperture control on the Pro is the difference. If you care about manipulating your images on the fly you need the Pro. If you are just taking footage, the Evo II is fine.
I love my Mavic Mini so much it's ridiculous really, also my Mini 2 Fly More Combo with 1 year DJI Care Refresh package is already chillin under the Christmas tree! Yeeeeeeeeey!!! Sweet Keep well and be safe everyone!!!
It's honestly a real nice drone. I love my Evo 2 pro 6k so much. The only thing that bothers me is that you don't get any sound with the videos you record, the videos are all mute. It's just kind of nice to look back at the videos and hear some noise instead of them being mute. Other than that, it's super nice. You should do more videos on the 6k version. Maybe best settings for photos and videos, how to use to d-log and what apps I can use to edit it, and some other features in the drone. Another thing, do you know where to buy batteries from. They are $300 on Amazon. I found some on Ali express for $195.11 and free shipping from a seller called EasyFly Store, what do you think about them?
Good morning from a sunny Athens with 15c temperature. One small question to all the people who read this. How many people have a real TV 4K cost at least 1000 euros to see the difference of a 4K to 8K video? I love the marketing. Even, most of the movies they make for the cinema its in 2K, very few movies are in 4k. By the way i have a LG OLED 4K and only with my blue ray i see some movies in real 4K or when i take a video with my camera which is 4K SONY, drones can not approach this quality because of their censor and lens. By the way Steve you made me to go into the drone and FPV hobby and i thank you so much for this !!!!!!
Hi Captian, its me again 😂i found an drone that have gps ,optical flow, brushless and many feature, its call SG108 / L108 a low price drone that have brushless and gps, i think you can also review that (sg108 /L108)😁
Regardless the size of the sensor. Autel can record 8k cos it has enough pixels to do so. Your Canon has much larger sensor but less pixels, yet they are huge pixel so will do well in low light. Still cool review.
Autel got it right with bright colours for their drones to be able to spot it in the sky far away. Skydio however got the colour wrong, hard to spot when you have the same sky contrast color.
I watch youtube on 40' TV but the highest resolution I can choose is 4K so sadly I can't compare the differences. Anyway they both are obviously great and I hope that some day (after several years) I will be able to buy it and fly it :)
Hello Cap.Im a big fan .😁😁 Thank you for this video. I love it.watch it maybe 10 or more times 🥰 When I watch your video in eachine ex5. I bought ex5 right away 😆 its my first drone actually. But when I watch this. Oh My I told myself I want to buy this evo II its my dream drone😆😁 . The problem is it would take me a year or more to actually buying it. 😅🤕.
The 8K does look the best hands down to my eyes and stands out footage wise....sharper crisper more vibrant. Imagine 8K with 1” sensor. Can u slow down gimbal and movements like tripod mode for example with these Autel drones?
OK, serious question (though I know you have a quadrillion comments and so I understand if you don't see this one!). I am a prosumer landscape photographer (raw stills/Lightroom) and have been lucky enough here in the UK to have a reasonably successful social media following (not RUclips!) and website. I currently rely on my Mavic 2 Pro- the results are good although I have to mask the pictures due to horizon graining- graduated filters have helped. In your opinion, is a cross-grade to the Evo 2 Pro (6K) worth the investment for stills photography (raw)? If so, would it be worth the wait for the Mavic 3 in your opinion? Keep up the great videos, you are helping many people.
The 6K is perfect if you require something now. Logic tells me that the Mavic 3 will have that DJI magic and be really good, but we don't know when it is launching, so it could be this spring, late fall or not at all in 2021.
Curious to know whether you will be getting Autel's Smart Controller? Seems to be a significantly larger controller with a large screen albeit it is expensive.
Autel is having so many problems lately that the first generation smart controllers are being discontinued, and we now wait for the 2nd generation... if they show up at all.
White dandruff !! I nearly spat my tea all over the keyboard and monitor. Thanks for a great review. It's usually dull & overcast here in England so I went for the EVO 2 Pro.
Captain Drone i really like the way you explain all in the evo 2. But please make a video show how you can used the voice comands of the evo 2 because nobody do it at this time. From my country Guatemala i send you my best blessing. Send me a Hello when you make the video. Thank you very much. God bless you 🤗👍
Between the Autel 6K or the Mavic 2 Pro...which one would you recommend? The use will be for real estate videos and some filmmaking when needed. I have no previous experience with any drones at all. In doing some research I have read where the Autel's software has some issues and there seems to be more flyaways with them. Not something I want to see. However the images coming from them do seem better so that's where I am perplexed. Better images with less stability...or more stability with images that are good, just not great. Thanks for your thoughts and great video!
The 8K looks better in 8K AND 6K mode! Ordering that NOW!

Hi Steve - don't you have doves in your area? Yesterday my Mantis Q crashed after the third attack of a swarm of doves i previously survived this year! ;-) - The next great review! Now I know which one will replace the Mantis... :-)
None. I never mess with the image when doing comparisons.... that's cheating (i.e., correcting for something the drone didn't figure out in the situation).
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 so all in auto then? With all the evos 1 and 2 there is a bit of a relish or pink tone. I have to set mine to 5300-5500 kelvin. Our beaches are white,pinkish cream looking colour. Unfortunately if I leave on auto it gives a goldish colour which is not very nice Evo 1 had no luck in auto had to always shoot in LOG then adjust in post to get the correct colour in real view. They have improved on the Evo 2 series but for it again the auto is not correct. Your videos look good with the snow. Ive watched all your videos. Other drones that suffer this problem are the Fimi x8 and Anafi. The skin colour face tone gives a more yellowish colour. I really hope Autel improves on their colour science just like Dji. Sadly my Evo 1 is no longer in service with a bad camera. Evo 2 pro is still new so I use it for more expensive jobs that pay good money. This way I can get back money in time. Its an expensive drone but worth it
Love these drones. The best for their price range on the market with more freedom than dji. Ended up settling on the mavic air 2 bc of what you get for the price but almost wish I got the evo 2 8k instead. Granted the air 2 is half the price but once you get the (really good deal) fly more combo the price difference isn’t that much.
Well with the Evo 2 Pro I really think DJI will release its Mavic 3 Pro and possibly Phantom 5. Autel is proving to be a real competitor and DjI will need to release new products to stay on top. I still love my Mavic 2 Pro I just wish it had a physical shutter but that is in the leaked specs for the Mavic 3 Pro.
Thank you Captain Drone, that was a excellent review, you never dissapoint, you made me fill good all over, in my investment, choice, of my Autel Pro 6k you are a amazing Reviewer, Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God bless you and your family
Awesome drones. Bigger sensor rather than more resolution every time, for me.
The proof is in the eve and for me the 8K looked much better. Just sayin.....

@Lon Denard but then I’d still be stuck with a DJI and Geofencing. I like my EVO and Autel made it easy to swap cameras.
Zack Morrison Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. He trolls every comment.... looking for attention
Firmware just can't keep up with the hardware. The Evo II 6K with the 1 inch sensor has better image quality. Another great review. Thanks Steve.

i must agree the 6k was a smother video and a better zoom. great video
Quality vid love the orange color very good on covering everything about these two drones very very interesting good job bud.

Thanks 👍
The evo 2 pro hands down, a killer also in lowlight, and full night.
Thanks for the comparison cap't. Since I don't do much cropping or zooming. I'm gonna stick with my Evo1. Autel in general makes a good camera.

For anyone really curious about the difference between 1 inch sensors and 1/2 inche sensors or less see youtube videos of the insta 360 one R in low light tests especially indoors huge difference
I live in Thailand, use EVO2. 12 bumper sensor system to take very clear pictures.
Richie Rich here with my dog Dollar, "Can you indubitably review even higher-priced drones?" 😜💰
Autel has done a amazing job with this Drone. Since Firmware 2:5:12 came out if the Drone is Calibrated correctly there is no possible way to get a more perfect Drone.
Thanks Captain
Dji is going to show up and tell you to hold their beer. Dji is king and won’t let this last long.
Great vídeo Steve. The Autel Evo is my favorite drone. A year ago I ordered a V-CPTR from Zero Robotics. After 6 months asking for a refund, it just got it. We will not see that drone on the air but I will keep watching your great reviews.
The V-COPTR is very much a lost cause it would appear.
Autel Evo II is awesome and if i could afford it, would not hesitate buying one. So for now, it's a Bugs life 😁. Great video and scenery, Steve.👍👍
Thanks for the amazing review i was actually thinking to grab one of them am yet to decide on which one, however why to my eyes i feel the motion of the 8K is not smooth? is that due to processing?
8K is so very hard to edit on a computer (takes plenty of processing power)
I have been flying drones for years mostly DJI from a Mavic Pro to an Inspire 2 with the X4S camera and by far the EVO 2 Pro has given me the best footage that I have ever seen. Just curious what SD card are you using for your EVO 2 Pro when shooting 6K?
Both have a 128 Gig sandisk extreme U3
Love your Channel! Thank you for all you do! Question: I am new to Autel Evo II and want to hand launch and catch but am not seeing any videos with truly good information. Can you hand launch and catch without boat mode being on?
I have never tried a hand launch with the EVO II
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you! If you ever do try please post a video. ;)
Yes the bright green Evo drone is really good if you're colorblind.
It took me about five seconds but I got it, that was funny. Lol
So it's obvious that the 6K version is the better one, just that 1 inch sensor is all what makes it worth choosing it over the 8K which does not do well in the dark..
See that's why I love my Mavic Mini so much, just a lil baby drone that flies so well and films like it's bigger brothers and sisters..
Sweet
Keep well and be safe everyone!
Can’t wait to buy mine. Think I’m going with the dual due to the infrared cam
Love ur reviews . Lol. U crack me up. Thank u for ur amazing channel my man.
Glad you like them!
This drone is awesome. If Autel can make it as light as DJI Mavic air 2, I would buy it for traveling without the car.
Capt Drone... I feel your pain, that’s why currently I live in Florida... it’s a balmy 76 degrees (24c). Just giving you a hard time for the hard times you give us when I watch your videos and drool wanting to have one of those Evos drones... 🥲. Nice video...
The only problem with 6K & 8K recordings is needing new apps to edit these video files, and the faster CPUs needed to handle them, and the faster network needed to upload them, and the faster memory cards to record them.
It's a never ending technology race.
Yep love that color Steve! I am still flying the CSJ-X7 Pro 2 and saving for the Mavic 2 Pro but I also want the Evo 6K, Phantom 4 V2.0, Mavic Mini 2, Inspire 2, etc.....oh my!
Awesome video, Cap. Steve. Waving from the non snowy Bahamas 😎😁
The 6k gave ultra-smooth video; the 8k did not. Do you thing this was a post production problem or the drone itself? Loe your channel; always as entertaining as it is informative 😊
My computer is extremely powerful, but processing 8K and 6K on the same timeline has its challenges.
"Cool" Review Steve, Much appreciated... Stay warm
Thanks for your video @CAPTAIN DRONE. What is the max range on those drones?
9 Km range.
I bought an autell evo2 8k drone a year ago.
After the 4th time it was sent for repair, it never came back! In the 3rd month of writing emails, they finally give me my money back!
I had problems with smart flying, my battery got stuck and could not be pulled out, recording in the wrong direction, while recording visible propellers, ect...
Thank you Captain! As always - the overview is excellent! I will add on my own - I bought myself Autel Evo 2 Pro 6K and Mavic 2 Pro, this set of drones covers almost all tasks for aviation work. The Autel Evo 2 Pro is a great photogrammetry drone, as it has better image clarity compared to the Mavic 2 Pro. Mavic 2 Prois a great drone for aero filming.
Full set!
I look forward to the Mavic 3 Pro and put the money aside to buy it - I really hope it will be great!
Good luck Captain!
Does the 6K sensor crop when shooting at 4K natively? (IOW are the extra pixels processed into improving the light gathering or are they tossed?) Thanks!
@@ivaneberle3972 No. 6K is processed in software. (according to the manufacturer's information - I can't give a link, I lost it, try it yourself) Good luck!
@@aircamdrone3727 It makes no sense that it would discard pixels... Worse light gathering at 4K capture than native 4K 1" sensor would result. (Shooting at 6K and downconverting to 4K would prove a time-consuming burden, so shooting at 4K in-camera is greatly preferable) Hoping someone can jump in this discussion with conclusive answer or link
Last time I was in Prague minus 20 still managed to drink lager in a heated beer tent. Expecting snow here in Scotland any time soon, hopefully SG 906 pro 2 will arrive next week first drone for me.
The aperture control on the Pro is the difference. If you care about manipulating your images on the fly you need the Pro. If you are just taking footage, the Evo II is fine.
I love my Mavic Mini so much it's ridiculous really, also my Mini 2 Fly More Combo with 1 year DJI Care Refresh package is already chillin under the Christmas tree!
Yeeeeeeeeey!!!
Sweet
Keep well and be safe everyone!!!
Wow. That video is super quality. 👍
Lately I'm really looking into the 6k, looks like a really good drone and also, I find the Evo 2 so beautiful 😂
ruclips.net/video/mVUFptznQkM/видео.html
It's honestly a real nice drone. I love my Evo 2 pro 6k so much. The only thing that bothers me is that you don't get any sound with the videos you record, the videos are all mute. It's just kind of nice to look back at the videos and hear some noise instead of them being mute. Other than that, it's super nice.
You should do more videos on the 6k version. Maybe best settings for photos and videos, how to use to d-log and what apps I can use to edit it, and some other features in the drone.
Another thing, do you know where to buy batteries from. They are $300 on Amazon. I found some on Ali express for $195.11 and free shipping from a seller called EasyFly Store, what do you think about them?
Good morning from a sunny Athens with 15c temperature. One small question to all the people who read this. How many people have a real TV 4K cost at least 1000 euros to see the difference of a 4K to 8K video? I love the marketing. Even, most of the movies they make for the cinema its in 2K, very few movies are in 4k. By the way i have a LG OLED 4K and only with my blue ray i see some movies in real 4K or when i take a video with my camera which is 4K SONY, drones can not approach this quality because of their censor and lens. By the way Steve you made me to go into the drone and FPV hobby and i thank you so much for this !!!!!!
Hi Captian, its me again 😂i found an drone that have gps ,optical flow, brushless and many feature, its call SG108 / L108 a low price drone that have brushless and gps, i think you can also review that (sg108 /L108)😁
Regardless the size of the sensor. Autel can record 8k cos it has enough pixels to do so. Your Canon has much larger sensor but less pixels, yet they are huge pixel so will do well in low light. Still cool review.
Nice Gladiator. I love my Mojave. How are you liking yours?
Love it
Autel got it right with bright colours for their drones to be able to spot it in the sky far away. Skydio however got the colour wrong, hard to spot when you have the same sky contrast color.
I watch youtube on 40' TV but the highest resolution I can choose is 4K so sadly I can't compare the differences. Anyway they both are obviously great and I hope that some day (after several years) I will be able to buy it and fly it :)
8k is pumped as 48mpix is pumped from real 12 mpix, which is true optical resolution of the sensor ;) see quadbayer specs ;)
Hello Cap.Im a big fan .😁😁
Thank you for this video. I love it.watch it maybe 10 or more times 🥰
When I watch your video in eachine ex5. I bought ex5 right away 😆 its my first drone actually. But when I watch this. Oh My I told myself I want to buy this evo II its my dream drone😆😁 .
The problem is it would take me a year or more to actually buying it. 😅🤕.
The 8K does look the best hands down to my eyes and stands out footage wise....sharper crisper more vibrant. Imagine 8K with 1” sensor. Can u slow down gimbal and movements like tripod mode for example with these Autel drones?
OK, serious question (though I know you have a quadrillion comments and so I understand if you don't see this one!). I am a prosumer landscape photographer (raw stills/Lightroom) and have been lucky enough here in the UK to have a reasonably successful social media following (not RUclips!) and website. I currently rely on my Mavic 2 Pro- the results are good although I have to mask the pictures due to horizon graining- graduated filters have helped. In your opinion, is a cross-grade to the Evo 2 Pro (6K) worth the investment for stills photography (raw)? If so, would it be worth the wait for the Mavic 3 in your opinion? Keep up the great videos, you are helping many people.
The 6K is perfect if you require something now. Logic tells me that the Mavic 3 will have that DJI magic and be really good, but we don't know when it is launching, so it could be this spring, late fall or not at all in 2021.
Curious to know whether you will be getting Autel's Smart Controller? Seems to be a significantly larger controller with a large screen albeit it is expensive.
Autel is having so many problems lately that the first generation smart controllers are being discontinued, and we now wait for the 2nd generation... if they show up at all.
White dandruff !! I nearly spat my tea all over the keyboard and monitor. Thanks for a great review. It's usually dull & overcast here in England so I went for the EVO 2 Pro.
Captain Drone i really like the way you explain all in the evo 2.
But please make a video show how you can used the voice comands of the evo 2 because nobody do it at this time.
From my country Guatemala i send you my best blessing. Send me a Hello when you make the video.
Thank you very much. God bless you 🤗👍
you explain so good the videos .
u are really a maater of drones .
just bougth autel evo 2 8 k any tips for beginers''???
My only tip for beginners is fly slow, move the camera gimbal slow, turn slow, and don't crash
great video cant believe how quickly the temp drops where you are.
Between the Autel 6K or the Mavic 2 Pro...which one would you recommend? The use will be for real estate videos and some filmmaking when needed. I have no previous experience with any drones at all. In doing some research I have read where the Autel's software has some issues and there seems to be more flyaways with them. Not something I want to see. However the images coming from them do seem better so that's where I am perplexed. Better images with less stability...or more stability with images that are good, just not great. Thanks for your thoughts and great video!
The Mavic 2 Pro is a bit long in the tooth and not future proof... as well it has flight restrictions, so EVO II 6K.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you for your thoughts!
I'm waiting for the 50k.
The 8K looks better in 8K AND 6K mode! Ordering that NOW!
Hi Steve - don't you have doves in your area? Yesterday my Mantis Q crashed after the third attack of a swarm of doves i previously survived this year! ;-) - The next great review! Now I know which one will replace the Mantis... :-)
No killer doves in my area.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 You lucky One! :-) :-)
Oh no Steve... say it ain’t snow ⛄️
Curious to know what white balance were you using with the Evo 2 pro please?
Great video
None. I never mess with the image when doing comparisons.... that's cheating (i.e., correcting for something the drone didn't figure out in the situation).
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 so all in auto then?
With all the evos 1 and 2 there is a bit of a relish or pink tone. I have to set mine to 5300-5500 kelvin.
Our beaches are white,pinkish cream looking colour. Unfortunately if I leave on auto it gives a goldish colour which is not very nice
Evo 1 had no luck in auto had to always shoot in LOG then adjust in post to get the correct colour in real view.
They have improved on the Evo 2 series but for it again the auto is not correct.
Your videos look good with the snow.
Ive watched all your videos.
Other drones that suffer this problem are the Fimi x8 and Anafi. The skin colour face tone gives a more yellowish colour.
I really hope Autel improves on their colour science just like Dji.
Sadly my Evo 1 is no longer in service with a bad camera.
Evo 2 pro is still new so I use it for more expensive jobs that pay good money. This way I can get back money in time.
Its an expensive drone but worth it
Love these drones. The best for their price range on the market with more freedom than dji. Ended up settling on the mavic air 2 bc of what you get for the price but almost wish I got the evo 2 8k instead. Granted the air 2 is half the price but once you get the (really good deal) fly more combo the price difference isn’t that much.
Which one should buy? Mavic Air 2,of course !!!
Well with the Evo 2 Pro I really think DJI will release its Mavic 3 Pro and possibly Phantom 5. Autel is proving to be a real competitor and DjI will need to release new products to stay on top. I still love my Mavic 2 Pro I just wish it had a physical shutter but that is in the leaked specs for the Mavic 3 Pro.
Snowman 💩 everywhere 😵😵😵😵😵😵😂🤣
I have always liked the looks of the Autel Evo!!!
Maybe someday.
Thank you Captain!!
cool review captain.
Really nice review good job 😉
Hey capt., you know I was gonna ask you about that snow....if you can make a cone snow! Lol
Thank you Captain Drone, that was a excellent review, you never dissapoint, you made me fill good all over, in my investment, choice, of my Autel Pro 6k you are a amazing Reviewer, Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God bless you and your family
Hi you scould try the new low noise propeller on the evo 2 lower pitch and 1min more flight time about
Love your videos
Great video.Thanks. And I do love my EVO2 Pro.
I bought mine already, I am having so much fun with my drone, that I forgot where my kidney used to be.
