Just saw this Video, decided to Share:
I'm curious why their upgraded camera with the 1 inch sensor will only shoot in 6K, but the camera that shoots in 8K has a half inch sensor?
We will have to see how it performs, but if past experience with the Evo gives us any hints as to how the Evo 2 will perform, we may be looking at a new heavy weight champion.Holy cow is the right word! This might blow the M2P right out of the water.
Edit: Tom's Tech Time has a better review here
This thing has a takeoff weight of slightly more than 1kg
It really looks promising. It is bulky for sure compared to the M2P but it packs a lot in. But there are also a few design choices that could have been improved as mentioned by the review I linked above (the 1/2" sensor option makes little sense - despite the massive megapixels; dual IMUs but a single compass - why?; and the voice feed back is horrible - is it really expensive to hire proper voice actors to read a few lines?). But I am really liking this, might be my next drone. I am outgrowing the capabilities of my MA and I am due for an upgrade soon; and between this and what ever DJI might throw in to the mix to counter it, I will be spoiled for choice. I am sitting here rubbing my palms and grinning like a fool. It is going to be an excellent year for droning!We will have to see how it performs, but if past experience with the Evo gives us any hints as to how the Evo 2 will perform, we may be looking at a new heavy weight champion.
At least until DJI drops the Mavic 3 out of nowhere in the next few months!
I think the Aperture Fstop goes all the way to like .8 so it will allow more light in. The .5”It really looks promising. It is bulky for sure compared to the M2P but it packs a lot in.

Yes that is indeed correct; but I was under the impression that this feature is available in the EVO II PRO only. This is from their site, no mention of an adjustable aperture in the specs for the base model with the 1/2" sensor.I think the Aperture Fstop goes all the way to like .8 so it will allow more light in.

The end user can also swap cameras which is awesome and will put pressure on everyone else to do the same.With no geo-fencing, it will make quite a game-changer.
Evo2 8k @ $1495 / 1/2" sensor / fixed aperture
Evo2 6k @ ~$1795 / 1" sensor / adjustable aperture
Current SD cards are one big holdback. If you used the 1 inch sensor and 8k the files would be massive and couldn't write the info fast enough. If you look at a Red camera on the high end drones they use a proprietary SD card that costs over $500 so for now it's not going to happen.I'm curious why their upgraded camera with the 1 inch sensor will only shoot in 6K, but the camera that shoots in 8K has a half inch sensor?
I saw where it has 8GB onboard storage and SD Storage 32GB with a max supported of 256GB.Current SD cards are one big holdback.

Total storage isn’t the problem it’s the write speed. I understand it but maybe someone with more camera knowledge than me can probably explain much better why it becomes such a problem for the combination of 1” sensor and 8k.I saw where it has 8GB onboard storage and SD Storage 32GB with a max supported of 256GB.
