New Drone in 2023: Autel Evo Max 4T 

This drone sounds awesome! It has everything from the m30t that I wanted plus more. I was considering the m3t but this just possibly changed my mind.

To all the clowns complaining about price, clearly you don't understand who and what this class of drone is intended for. If you want a recreational drone there are a dozen all priced reasonably. This is not that type of drone. It's for commercial and safety purposes only.

Is there support for this drone on either DroneDeploy or Pix4D? Would this be a good drone for 3D modeling?

Do you know how this machine will compare to the SIRAS drone in terms of thermal and visual cameras?

Will be good for search and rescue sound like it would be good for that 🙂

Can you turn thermal to color to what you found like dji 30t for finding deer

I would love to see a review with this and the Dji mavic 3t. It will definitely help me figure out which one I want!!

Excellent presentation and analysis!!!

Hot swap function is awesome.

Thanks !!!!!

Great job!

Great video, David…I posted this reply earlier for all the comments on price. (I’m 40K into my drone with a LiDAR system as it’s payload. The average invoice amount for my service around $5. I typically handle 6 to 8 projects in a month. My customers are land developers and engineers. A drone like this will serve as an affordable back up. Well worth it!). You’re worth it if it can make you money when your main drone is down for repairs.

other GPS devices that have hot-swappable single battery setups use a larger special capacitor to keep the key elements going for 15-20 seconds

I have been looking at this as a DJI replacement for the Thermal and Mapping functions all in 1 drone. No Geo Fence, and what looks like an open SDK for 3rd party app's. It looks like the controller is big and bright, and from what the info says it has mapping setup and planning, and a lot of other functions that DJI is now limiting between all of the drone models. This might be a good, versatile drone. We'll see........

I have only used DJI drones, so how does autel's quality compare to DJI?

Is there a charging landing docking station for these?

Thanks upper but I’m good with my Mavic Pro and my newly acquired Mini 3 Pro with no issues. Yes, the geofencing is a PITA but we can thank all those A-holes years ago for buzzing airports/airfields which is a MASSIVE No-Go! I live about 15 miles from a major airport (Reagan National) and have to drive about 10 miles out to fly them.

You missed the coolest feature of the 4T, which is the millimeter wave technology. For those who fly at night or in fog or other scenarios where visual sensors fail or just don't work, MMW can fill the gap. I have the 640T-E and the MMW tech is the biggest driving factor for me to want to upgrade.

Does it have mechanical shutter? Does it have 1 inch CMOS? In my mind the best combination would be a fleet with Mavic 3 E and Mavic 3 E Thermal, that would cover much of the bases while keeping one set of ancillaries while keeping it around $10,000. As long as it's not raining those two would do the trick. I'm considering just that

I think you missed an important point because it would appear this drone also has interchangeable Payloads mounted by 2 screws. If so, this could make it way more versatile than the DJI Mavic 3 or M30 Series. Imagine being able to swap out camera for lidar system or any other payloads down thew track. Eagerly waiting a full review so i know if I should fork out $13,000 here in Australia.

A lot of the US Army SUAS program influence here but also the M30T was a major design influence. Until we get actual usage hard to say if its "worth it" and while theyre a pain I do love DJIs but not sure Id get this over a 30T and not sure if over a Mav3T either...

Dji mavic 3 how many price

I may just have to buy this

That price is actually good for what you are getting

Why?? The gimbal controllable range states: -90 to 45 deg. So this means I can't do a proper inspection if I have to inspect pipes or a bridge etc from below. Can anyone tell me why they don't allow 90 upward rotation? I would seriously consider this drone otherwise.

Hope it’s compatible with Pix4D mapper

Autel has always had my vote for their “NO fencing” stance. The 3T is still a heck of s drone for SAR, etc. Sadly..MONEY is STILL an acquisition barrier for most..SO = DJI.

💯

Is it built in the USA? Thanks

कितने का है ड्रोन

Another feature is that the payload is swappable per the CES videos I saw.

I’ve heard there costumer service is horrendous. In fact the main costumer service guy just quit for the second time because of management. Anyone else hear these things??

In my mind an overlooked selling point is the swappable payload. The 3T cannot do that. you have to buy all of the Enterprise drones to have all the capabilities. Which seems really ridiculous to me. Why not buy one Enterprise drone and buy the other payloads that I need.

9k. I should be able to ride on it at that cost.

It better be near the dji m30t for that price or most that can afford it would just go for broke and get the m30t instead

Sorry to say....we all know the world needs more drones with multiple cameras for the average user....🥴

Whoa! Evo! Way to stay way outside the Recreational Flying community. 9 Grand? I think I could buy a real helicopter for that. Why are you comparing it to the Mavic 3, isnt that about half the price. Ive always wanted an Autel and thought I could save and get one but Youre moving farther away from my budget

I am definately thinking about holding off and getting this one. I was getting ready to purchase a M3E for mapping and M3T for inspection. But with all the flap about the Federal ban on chinese drones for governmental work/use and now several states are jumping onto the same band wagon. I would hate to buy $15K worth of drones to lose jobs because they were made in China. From what I understand Autrl is made & manufactured here in the USA but it is still owned by a Chinese company. So I am not sure if this drone meets the federal requirements or not....still weeding thorough all the informations & misinformation that is going around about this.

I don’t understand how you state these specs with such certainty but you haven’t tested or put your hands on one. Easyyyyy killer🙄

$9,000 is pricey. Drones like this will be cheap in 5 years, so glad I am only 17 and get to see them advance and get cheaper

I'm not sure it's a "disrupter" but it looks to be a well-put-together drone. It's pretty much what all the drone people at CES were talking about the entire weekend I was in Vegas. I'll be honest with you, I'm sick and tired of hearing about geo-fencing. I've never been prevented from completing a mission over geo-fencing. Frankly, only a complete IDIOT goes out to do professional work without checking the area first. In my experience, DJI is often laxer than the FAA. Just ask the companies and people that have gotten thousands of dollars in fines over the years. Besides, there's a distinct possibility that DJI will drop NFZs once Remote ID is fully implemented. I've never liked that one of Autel's main selling points is that "you can fly them ANYWHERE". There's a video of a guy launching a Nano+ from the front door of an airport terminal. You keep mentioning "FAA approval" but 99% of people that stroll into Walmart or Best Buy to purchase a drone or order one from Amazon, don't check with the FAA before they fly. To me, this would be just like promoting one firearms brand over another because their guns don't come with those pesky safeties. Back to the drone, I honestly think that DJI left a door open and Autel walked right in. Good for them! Honestly, in my opinion, that's their best way forward. Trying to compete with DJI one on one isn't really working out for them. Their most successful platforms are in places DJI doesn't cover, like the Dragonfish, for example.

dji mavic best

How much is this drone worth are they copying dji products

Why looks this guy so amassed into the camera ?😊 His face is too close to the camera.

Why so expensive

9 thousand dollars for this drone

From what I am seeing it’s $9000 with only one battery

Weird because most people only buy dji drones

$9,000 for a drone😂

This Drone will be deployed in Ukraine!

It’s called the rip-off pro max.

It's a DJI knockoff
