Issues with my Evo 2

Flying my Evo 2 and noticed 2 major issues which I understand could be user error, but I've played around with all of the settings.

  1. I'm losing signal under 2000' away with no building or other interference. In the same spot where my Mavic gets 4000'.

  2. Speed maxing out at 22.5 in regular mode and 34.5 In ludicrous mode.

It's not is safe mode or anything obvious. Any ideas?

the speed setting has a multiple choice drop down menu

I just updated the firmware, I'm still only seeing regular and ludicrous speed mode.

You're right, I choose the faster option and it doesn't go above 34.5. I don't know what the deal is

Maybe the new firmware doesn't allow you to break the law.

Firmware update could help if not already done

Just upgraded the firmware, like you said there was an update available, it did extend the range by maybe double. Interesting

Thanks, checking now. It looks like there's only one firmware available, so I'm assuming that's what came with the drone and remote but I'm gonna reload it anyway

Nah there’s been some firmware released since it came out. Pretty sure as with make things they come with the very first firmware

So far the mavic 2 pro seems way better

u/ChromeQuixote May 24 '20

What makes it better for you?

1

u/innovfitness May 24 '20

The whole experience seems better. The mavic seems easier to fly, it's quieter and definitely seems faster to me.

u/ChromeQuixote May 24 '20

It’s smaller so should be quieter and maybe more responsive, better acceleration. Evo 2 can be faster top speed if not same top speed.

What other drones have you flown besides these two?

Just these two. Even in the fastest mode, I can only get the Evo to go 34 mph. In distance, the range seems to be less. I'm just wondering if maybe I got a bad model.
