Just pulled the trigger on an Autel Evo II Pro - pretty excited. Lots to learn but hopefully some fun aerial imagery and video eventually.

Color me jealous. I look forward to seeing what you shoot with this new toy.
Great to hear.

Jeffrey,
I will undoubtedly want to get some advice on all things drone from you, as your amazing shots are one of the things that inspired me to make the jump

Cool! I'll be very interested to see your results. Wish I could test drive one of those to compare it to my DJI Mavic 2 Pro.

Jim,
I was on the fence between the 2. I did see a YouTube that compared them and decided the video and still quality of the Evo 2 Pro was just a little better, so that is what pushed me in that direction. I do not feel like the differences are very large, and with only one person's opinion to go on, who really knows? The slightly longer time in the sky was a plus too, although now after my first flight day I think the real key is to find something cool to shoot that you can legally and safely fly over to get images and/or videos of, and nothing there to choose between these 2 great drones for that. I would be confident that the drone you have is still the equal of the Evo 2 in any meaningful way, and still may have some handling advantages too, although I found the Evo 2 super easy to fly and stopped worrying about crashing a few minutes into my first flight.
