There is actually a whole different site run by the same people as Mavicpilots.

Autel Drone Forum

I have not owned an Autel drone, but the Evo looks like a nice one.

Enjoy!!!!!! Its such a good deal, on such a good drone. I'm thinking about getting another one. Received $200.00 in gift cards from BB for X-MASS. Its burning a hole in my pocket. I hardly need two, but that's totally besides the point.

Yea...absolutely no need for another..i am very happy with my MP...flawless in my many (18/19) flights and i am still learning BUT...the extras with the Autel product...the batteries ! The Flight time of the Evo...an offer i can't refuse

Autel EVO is the best deal for sure.

I realize this about folding drones, but I will say I have the X-Star Premium and the Phantom 4. I wouldn't part with either one of them.

Autel Evo 2 was revealed and I would choose it over the M2P if I was buying today. Then the M3P will be out and It will probably leapfrog the EVO2 and so on and so on.

If Autel worked with Litchi I’d be very interested in their product. I like to fly missions predominantly and beyond a few thousand feet at times. To my understanding Autel does not allow that ability. [emoji53]

Evo II is interesting, larger than M2 Pro but seems to have a better battery life.

The 48MP on a 1/2 CMOS sensor, that's what I want to see. NOTE the F 1.8 aperture on the II, due to the increased density of the chip which is considerable over the 1 2/3 chip on the Mavic Pro P. or M2 Zoom. I am not interested in video, but 8K, on that drone will be an interesting feat also, if it doesn't overheat the chip.

I can't tell if the camera on the Evo II is fixed focus like a Mavic Air or if it has touch to focus like the other Mavics.

Lots to see, especially DR on the chip for stills.

Seems like the Evo II Pro has the same 1" chip as the M2 Pro, nothing new there. However Autel might have found a better processing chip for the raws as DJI IMO did a terrible on DR on the M2 Pro. Any of the Sony RX100 cameras with the same chip can easily reach a useable ISO800, where as the chip on the M2 Pro is about ISO 200 max before excessive noise becomes an issue, and you are no able to push shadows at all, even at base ISO without excessive noise.
