Hey Captain!.. I recently picked up a mini 3 pro to add to my phantom 4 pro and fly them around around Ottawa. I noticed when either one gets to, or close to 2 km out, my signal drops .. I get some "line of sight" warning and it immediately comes home. I was just wondering if you knew if its from software issue or if you have the same issues flying in the Ottawa area.. I am flying in Uncontrolled Airspace at all times with both drones. Thanks! Keep up the great job!

@mjordan812 Жыл бұрын

Of course, Autel's tracking is Version 1.0 - one can only assume that it will get better. My main issue with DJI is their approach to Geofencing - they just shut the drone down. On more than one occasion DJI's software has limited my ability to fly where both Airmap and Aloft had said that I was good to go. It's a pain to plan out a shot, drive some distance to get there only to find that DJI is having a hissy fit whereas Autel has no issues.

@VittBrus Жыл бұрын

A tip then. You can check the DJI fly zone map before you go. If you actually are allowed to fly in a place but DJI say no then it's not very good. I don't live in US but I have never seen any mismatch between DJI geofencing and where I'm allowed to fly

@mjordan812 Жыл бұрын

@@VittBrus That's all well and good, but when Airmap, Aloft & B4UFLY all say that I have a 300' altitude cap at location X. I need 250' to get the shot I want. I get there and DJI only lets me to to 192'. DJI's map doesn't show altitude limits. OR - I just take an Autel and know that I will get my shot.

@repaid1 Жыл бұрын

Actually Autel just released Dynamic Tracking 2.1, it isn't their first rodeo. Most other companies use the customers device (Phone or tablet) to provide the calculations for active track, DJI builds the processors into the aircraft and also software. I have been flying "drones" for just short of 7 years, in that time traveling abroad and in the states I have never once had a attempt at flight where geofencing interrupted my flight with any of my DJI's, warnings yes. I guess I am lucky, but that was Autels main selling point when they decided to shut off their geofencing soon after they debuted there first craft. Their past history with support and marketing turned me off them, but they have some prior DJI employees with them now, hopefully they grow into some serious competition.

@dale7431 Жыл бұрын

I couldn't agree with you more!

@DannyFyffe Жыл бұрын

Steve: Autel just isn't good when it comes to tracking. That has always been their weakness. I still have the Evo 1 and rarely fly it or any quad anymore, but it was always weak at follow as I showed several years ago when the Evo 1 came out. So I hand it to dji on the tracking. They are the kings of it minus the Skydio as you pointed out. I love your reviews as they are always honest and no hype attached. I pretty much stopped watching all other quadcopter reviewers because they are just hype and shills for a company, typically dji. So keep being you and I'll keep watching.

I am using DJI drones for a long time and they are good drones. I am in the android universe. The DJI apps (Fly & GO) are no longer in the google playstore and you have to download a apk file from one of the dji servers to fly your drone. For security reasons a apk file is a no go. I think before buying a new dji drone you should be aware of this problem. In germany the drone manufacturer DJI is accused of passing on location data from Ukrainian armed forces to Russia, the big companies Media Markt and Saturn have removed DJI products from their shops. Personal I dont believe this but its complicated. Correction: Since 11. April 2022 the products of DJI are back in the german shops for sell.

DJI is definitely the goat, it’s so much better overall and in some areas it is nearly perfect. If I was to buy either it would definitely be the mini 3. I can’t afford it as yet, so at the moment my mini 2 will have to do for now. Great comparison test captain and I’m looking forward to the next test.

I really want to love the autel drones but when they came out with this mini drone the pricing was very high and I think it's not worth that pricing. AUTEL if you're reading this message don't price your drones so highly, if your pricing was better you will sell your drones like crazy, this is from a person that flies mostly DJI and parrot anafi drones!!!

Unfortunately Autel tried that game and lost and it almost folded. Autel simply doesn't have a market share big enough to do competitive marketing. That is why they tried and basically failed with the no GEO fencing campaign. Last figures I was aware of DJI held over 70% of the market, Autel's market share topped at 7%. DJI can set their prices as they wish, others can attempt to match but the return isn't sustainable at that volume.

@digitalranger4259 Жыл бұрын

Good video, but in all honesty, you are inconsistent. You should have redone the landing test when you realized the height difference, and kept the drones at the same height on the speed test. Very interesting on the tracking test, though, how the DJI dodged the trees like it wasn't a big deal at all.

@CAPTAINDRONE798 Жыл бұрын

Just a few response points as I see what you are saying but believe you may be misguided in your thoughts. The higher a drone is when returning to home, the more difficult it is to land accurately. For this reason, the Autel was amazing. Speed height that is close (within a range of 100 meters), is inconsequential. I’m not sure why you believe the test favoured one over the other due to being a few meters different in height (feel free to explain your point if desired). These tests are NOT LAB SCIENTIFIC…. No drone comparison tests are. They are simply to show the viewer the results and revealing the parameters applied when the comparison was done.

@digitalranger4259 Жыл бұрын

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 My thought on the return to home test was that the added height could have given the Evo more time to adjust it's landing spot. And from my own drone flying experience, I've seen a difference in wind in 50 ft of height. Not saying they have to be dead on accurate; heck, the temperature and wind could change in the five minutes it takes to switch drones. But they should be similarly set up.

@@falloutdjsteve If you are the type to accidentally drive through the gates, you deserve what you get. I've been a professional UAV pilot for years. I've been on the job twice where I had the proper FAA clearance. I called the tower to finalize my flight plan. I entered the info in the app then had the drone not unlock. For the next 45 (unpaid) minutes I'm talking with the DJI people to get them to unlock my drone. Then I have to call the tower again and HOPE they'll honor my now-expired flight plan (a few hundred feet from an international airport). They did. This is why DJI is the suck. Why is a chinese company controlling the drone I OWN in airspace that they don't control? Autel warns/reminds you that you are flying in controlled airspace, allowing the pilot to be responsible. You seem to like/need control. Different strokes I suppose.

Why not respect that flying in restricted areas is not permitted? Do you really need to fly in such places. It's a bit complicated anyway even if your drone does not restrict you. You have to notify fly control, send in a timed flight plan etc...

@1QKGLH Жыл бұрын

@@VittBrus Because the client needed a job done in a restricted area. The FAA has allowances for anything, even down to a "zero grid". Once I've fulfilled the FAA requirements, you know, the US government's requirements, the chinese need to leave me alone. And no, you don't just "notify fly control" and send in a timed flight plan. They'll laugh you off the phone. You have to go through the FAA. I did. The tower was good with the flight, the US government was good with the flight, only some chinese dudes weren't.

Precision landing is not very important. It's good enough if the drone can land witin maybe a metre from where it took off. You normally always take over and land it manually. It is the return to home that is important. The only situation I can think of where precision landing could be useful is if the drone returns to home and you are in some other location. If I change location significantly while the drone is in the air I normally also change the rth point to my new location. In such situarion precision landing is not relevant.

@CAPTAINDRONE798 Жыл бұрын

For you and your needs it seems it is not importmant, however For many, such as myself it is. Where I fly from is not often an open space but rather constricted, thus the drone needs to land within a foot of where it took off from when on RTH. In a bazillion of my videos, each time a drone takes off there are cameras nearby as part of a review. I'm busy working on the review as the drone lands in RTH & thus it is best it does not land on the cameras. Also, I'm in Canada and we have plenty of snow in the winter. Every Canadian that flies a drone in the winter will stamp out a takeoff spot in the snow. The drone must return to that spot or else it will end up landing in the fluffy white snow. Same is true when I am on a small boat and I launch from shore. Some drones are not designed for hand catching due to size, so I expect them to return to their take off point... and not many meters off into the water. Certainly one can take control and position the drone upon landing, but often that option is not available as we are busy with other items or distant from the RTH point we have assigned. Over the years, all drones have improved in precision landing abilities.
