Not really - just in other forums (as this one is vendor dependent )

Nice flying.

Yes, in sep 2020 I both Autel EVO 2 Pro, and 2 days ago I added a Mini 2

Long story...
Went on a Beautiful peak - a lot of snow, sun.... and run the EVO - the footage was Not good - flickers, compression artifacts in clouds ...
Then run down the slope and made him following me - a great job he did BUt suddenly lost focus and did not recover so I land it on the steepest part of a track.... got angry and wend buying Mini 2 (go to A2 directly ) and now am investigating the feasibility of Replacement
Mini 2 is a toy - But very Capable for a toy and fun to fly - hope tomorrow we will have our first sunny day since purchase and I'll go test again

Sorry to learn of your difficulties with the Evo, Alex. It got really poor in the third of your clips. Hope you enjoy the MA2

I did not get this one about a third of my clips? Can You elaborate? And I got Mini 2 not MA2 - glad to be back - hope for long

Your third clip when you were sliding down the hill in the snow -looked out of Focus.  OK the Mini2.  I've stayed with the Mini1 for the time being, in addition to the Mavic 2 Zoom.

And do you prefer the Evo to the Mavic 2 Pro? Pro and cons probably...

I'll quote my post in another forum on the topic :
My 50 cents as a one year owner of M2P and 4-5 months of E2P
Evo has a better camera - BUT have some flows - mine loses focus in AF - so I use it MF only
EVO has 4K 60 fps BUT with a narrow field of view
M2P has a narrow field of view with HQ 4K and if You want wider FOV you loos Quality
EVO major disadvantage is flares, props shadows, and flickering something DJI has well in control!

That's about the camera, about flying - EVO has a longer range and fewer restrictions! Has OA on All directions (M2P Do not use side cameras in manual fly!!!)
But OA messes with fly a lot more than on M2P sometimes even stops the drone mid-flight...

All in all, I sold my M2P and shoot with E2P BUT both one Mini 2 Just in case ;)
