For our part, we're going to try and get an EVO in the office for testing as soon as possible. With DJI suffering from some PR problems of late, Autel has a real opportunity to steal some Mavic market share here. Unfortunately, Autel isn't quite ready to commit to a specific release date for the EVO, but they did say it will arrive "very soon" and will cost $1,000 USD-that's $100 cheaper than the DJI Mavic Pro Platinum, or the same price as the standard Mavic Pro, which can't quite keep up on battery life. Finally, the EVO also maxes out at a speed of 20 meters per second (44 miles per hour), which is just a hair faster than the Mavic Pro can handle. The stabilized camera can shoot at 4K/60p (DJI maxes out at 4K/30p) and the remote comes with a built-in 3.3 inch OLED screen that gives you a live feed at up to 720p-no need to plug your phone into your drone's remote controller. Where the EVO manages to rise above (see what I did there.) the Mavic Pro Platinum is exactly where it counts: in the camera and remote control department. The folding drone looks very similar, both sport a 3-axis gimbal, both boast intelligent flight modes and obstacle avoidance, they both offer 30 minutes of flight time, and both feature a max operating distance of 4.2 miles (7 km). At first, the EVO seems like an almost shot-for-shot remake of the DJI Mavic Pro Platinum.
