Autel Robotics Evo

Announced at CES 2018, the Autel Robotics Evo folding drone offers a familiar design and flight features for a DJI Mavic Pro owner. This familiarity is not a bad thing, it means a compact folding design, 4K stabilized camera and reliability you can take to the bank, so to speak. Autel Robotics is one of the few drone manufacturers to build a machine in this form-factor that isn’t a toy builder trying to step it up, the Evo has roots in commercial quality, down-sized to fit in your backpack.

The Autel Robotics Evo offers a solid flight experience, to the level that very few can compete, and the introduction of the Live Deck takes video transmission to a new level. To be fair, it’s just a video receiver that can hook to your TV or other HDMI device, making it an important tool news crews or for safely recording footage on the side.
