ADU 0995: Can I Use the Autel Evo for Drone Mapping? - a podcast by Drone U

Autel Evo vs. DJI - Which is Best for Drone Mapping





In today's show, we discuss if the Autel Evo is suitable for drone mapping. Tune in to learn the Pros & Cons, and discover if the Autel is a good substitute to traditional mapping drones like DJI and Yuneec.



Our caller, Joe from South Dakota, is happy with his Autel Evo. Joe plans on taking up drone mapping job and is wondering if he can use the Autel Evo for the same. How does Autel Evo compare to mapping drones like the Phantom 4 Pro and DJI Inspire 1?



The Autel Evo is undoubtedly a promising drone that comes with an extremely affordable price tag. If you are a regular ADU listener, you might recall our coverage of CES 2019 where Autel launched a new and improved, geofence-free Evo. While the Evo is a great drone for aerial photography and videography, acquiring and processing drone mapping data is a different ball game altogether.



Is the Evo compatible with drone mapping software like Pix4D and Maps Made Easy? Can professional mappers put the way-point setup on the Evo to good use? And, does the Evo come with a global shutter, a pre-requisite for drone mapping? For all this and much more, tune in to our latest show now. Thanks for the great question, Joe. Fly Safe!
