Starting on March 29, pilots of Autel Robotics’ EVO Nano and EVO Lite series drones can download a firmware update that adds features including Dynamic Track 2.1 (person only), SuperDownload, 8-bit Log video, HDR video, and other improvements. Some of these new firmware features are available now for selected models, and other features will become available for the EVO Lite, Lite+, Nano, and Nano+ series in the near future.
As you could read in our Autel EVO Nano+ review, the manufacturer advertises this drone with more features than it actually has. It looks like they will be gradually enabled by firmware upgrades.
Dynamic Track 2.1, Super Download at 160Mbs, HDR, 8-bit Log video, and lots more!
1. Super Download: transfer videos and photos at 160Mbps
Simply place a smartphone close to the drone to download photos and videos at 160Mbps using the Autel Sky app. Super Download will achieve the highest transfer speeds when connected to Wi-Fi.
2. HDR and 8-bit Log Video
HDR and 8-bit Log video help videographers achieve the perfect picture settings. The 8-bit Log profile gives videographers more headroom and dynamic range to adjust the video contrast, brightness, and color. With HDR, the camera will capture frames at different exposures and automatically blend them together to provide more contrast and a wider dynamic range.
3. Dynamic Track 2.1: automatically follow video subject
With Dynamic Track 2.1, your camera drone will automatically track and follow the person – keeping the subject in the frame and making long action shots easier than ever. The drone becomes a personal camera crew and a helicopter all rolled into one, small enough to fit in your backpack. Controlled by the Autel Sky app, Dynamic Track provides a variety of shooting modes for smart following, plus access to safety and ease of use features, such as object avoidance.
