DESCRIPTION

The Autel Robotics EVO II is a high‑performance foldable camera drone designed for enthusiasts and prosumers who want advanced aerial imaging capabilities without the complexity and ecosystem lock‑in of some competitors. It’s equipped with a 1/2″ 48 MP CMOS camera capable of 8K video recording and high‑resolution stills, along with advanced flight systems like omnidirectional obstacle avoidance and Dynamic Track subject tracking for confident and creative aerial capture. With up to ~40 minutes of flight time, long‑range video transmission, and a feature‑rich remote controller, the EVO II strikes a strong balance between image quality, autonomy, and usability — making it suitable for creative video projects, landscape photography, and dynamic content creation.

KEY FEATURES

Camera & Imaging

The Autel EVO II’s camera is built around a 1/2″ CMOS sensor that delivers 48 MP stills and 8K video up to 7680×4320 at ~25–24 fps, with support for high‑resolution modes like 6K at 30 fps and 4K up to 60 fps. The optical system includes a fixed‑focus lens with an f/1.8 aperture and a 79° field of view, while up to 8× digital zoom (with 4× lossless) expands creative framing options. Files can be captured in JPEG and DNG (RAW) formats with H.264/H.265 codecs for flexible post‑production.

Flight Time & Performance

A robust 7100 mAh intelligent battery delivers up to ~40 minutes of flight time in forward motion and around 35 minutes while hovering, giving plenty of time for creative compositions and shoot sequences. The drone is capable of cruising at speeds up to ~45 mph and maintains reliable flight performance even in moderate wind conditions.

Obstacle Avoidance & Autonomy

EVO II incorporates omnidirectional obstacle avoidance with 12 visual sensors and multiple dual‑IMUs to build a 3D environment map in real time. Combined with Dynamic Track 2.0, it can track and follow subjects while avoiding obstacles — ideal for action shots and autonomous flight missions.

Transmission & Range

Using Autel’s high‑performance transmission system, the EVO II can maintain stable video and control links out to about ~9 km (~5.5 miles) in open, interference‑free conditions — offering confidence during long‑range flights.

Build & Design

The EVO II is a foldable quadcopter with a compact form factor, making it easy to transport for travel and location shoots. Despite its foldable design, it remains rugged and reliable for diverse shooting scenarios, from landscape cinematography to action tracking.

Intelligent Flight Features

Beyond Dynamic Track, the drone includes features like Viewpoint (tap to fly to a location), waypoint missions, automatic return‑to‑home on low battery or signal loss, and accurate landing assistance using bottom sensors for safer operations.

Software & Compatibility

EVO II is flown via Autel’s Autel Sky or Autel Pilot app, which provides access to advanced camera settings, flight telemetry, and mission planning tools. The system shines in flexibility — with no forced geofencing or online login requirements in many regions, giving pilots a freer flight experience.

Remote Controller

Most bundled controllers include a built‑in 3.3″ OLED screen that provides a clear live view without needing a separate smartphone, along with dedicated telemetry and flight controls. This standalone design simplifies setup and enhances the user experience in the field.
