Autel EVO II is a foldable professional camera drone built around an interchangeable 8K imaging system. Its 1/2‑inch 48MP CMOS camera records up to 7680×4320 video, supports up to 4× lossless zoom, and captures high‑detail stills. A robust airframe delivers up to 40 minutes of flight time, omnidirectional obstacle sensing via 12 visual sensors (19 total sensor groups), a 5.5‑mile (9 km) transmission link, and a remote controller with a built‑in 3.26‑inch OLED display—making EVO II a versatile, pro‑ready platform for cinematic work and advanced aerial tasks.

Selling Points

  • 8K capture with 48MP stills provides exceptional detail and flexible reframing/cropping in post.
    (autelrobotics.com)
  • Long endurance (up to 40 minutes; 35‑minute hover) reduces battery swaps on set.
    (shop.autelrobotics.com)
  • Omnidirectional obstacle avoidance using 12 visual sensors enhances operational safety in complex environments.

  • Interchangeable payload design lets you upgrade to other EVO II series cameras as needs evolve.
    (autelrobotics.com)
  • 9 km HD video transmission and an RC with a built‑in OLED screen enable reliable links and phone‑free operation.
    (shop.autelrobotics.com)
  • High 120 Mbps recording plus support for in‑camera 4K 10‑bit HDR gives robust image quality options.

  • Onboard 8 GB storage with microSD expansion to 256 GB adds flexibility in the field.

Drawbacks

  • 8K recording is limited to 25/24 fps—projects needing higher frame rates must step down to 6K/4K.
    (shop.autelrobotics.com)
  • Fixed f/1.8 aperture on the 8K camera limits exposure/DOF control versus the EVO II Pro’s adjustable‑aperture 6K unit.
    (shop.autelrobotics.com)
  • At roughly 1.15 kg, the aircraft is bulkier than sub‑250 g travel drones, reducing packability for casual use.
    (shop.autelrobotics.com)
  • Professional‑tier ecosystem (extra batteries, rugged case, accessories) adds to total system cost.
