They probably will take a lot from Autel, but Autel have only themselves to blame and I have a feeling that Autel may well have some teething problems as well as the price for 8k looking pretty high compared to what’s rumored for MA2, I hear they’re looking for $200 for second battery that’s bananas.
Yes, all new drones go through a teething process. Drones are such complicated beasts, that it seems nobody gets them right first until a few firmware updates later.
I agree with you about Autel having only themselves to blame. If they weren't ready to launch in January or February, they should have never revealed the Evo 2 at CES. Announcing it back then and giving DJI 4 months to prepare was a huge strategic blunder! They should only announce once they are ready to be shipping!
Also, 8K sounds awesome until you have to have the disk space to store all that footage and a computer to be able to process it. And yes, you can use proxies, but then you have to wait for them to process first and requires even more disk space (at least temporarily).
I'm much more interested in Autel's 1" 6K Pro drone because low light and night flights are some of my favorites to do. But it sounds like it is still a couple months behind.
Also the data rate for the Autel Evo 2 8K is only 120Mbps at 8K. That means there are 4 times more pixels but only 20% more data being collected compared to most 4K drone cameras that are capturing at 100Mpbs. If that is the case, something has to give a bit in the details of that 8K video. |
