Each Autel EVO II drone weighs less than three pounds, and comes with built-in technology to navigate itself in all direction while avoiding obstacles. The drones can sense hazards up to 30 meters away, and feature robot-like intelligence that controls speed to avoid collisions. Those who’d rather fly manually can turn the avoidance off and fly with the EVO II series’ helpful radar feature for pilots.

Here’s what to expect from this powerful aerial series:

  • Dynamic 48MP stills
  • Drone control up to 5.5 miles away, even in dense forest or crowded environment
  • 12 computer vision sensors detect and avoid hazards and obstacles

  • 35 minutes hovering time with no wind
  • Battlock system guards against battery ejection during high-speed maneuvers or rough landings
  • A level eight wind speed resistance
  • 15 m/s speed, with 20 m/s in Ludicrous mode
