Autel Evo 2: Best Folding Drone, Ever!

In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew speaks with Tim Matthews of Autel about the Evo 2, introduced at the CES 2020 show in Las Vegas, Nevada. There are three models in the Evo 2 series: the base-level Evo 2, which incorporates an 8K video sensor; the Evo 2 Pro, which includes a one-inch sensor capable of capturing 20 megapixel stills and 6K video, and also incorporates an adjustable aperture from F 2.8 to F 11; and, the Evo 2 Dual, which incorporates the same 8K sensor as the base model, as well as FLIR thermal imaging core with a resolution up to 640x512 pixels. Different cameras can be mounted on the same aircraft, so there is no need to purchase multiple drones for different imaging payloads. The aircraft itself incorporates a total of 12 cameras for omnidirectional collision avoidance. The aircraft is powered by an 7,100 mAH battery that fits fully inside the airframe, and can power the aircraft for up to 40 minutes of flight.
