Autel Evo Max 4T vs DJI MAvic and MAtrice
Autel Robotics, a Chinese company specializing in drones and other robotics technology, has released its newest drone: the Autel EVO Max 4T. This high-end consumer drone is designed for enthusiasts and professionals. The ability to do thermal imaging and anti jam have surely taken Autel Evo Max 4T to the eyes of the public safety and law enforcement who are looking for a versatile and capable aerial surveillance.
One of the standout features of the EVO Max 4T is its camera, which is capable of capturing 8K video and 10x optical zoom. It has a 1-inch CMOS sensor and a wide dynamic range, allowing for excellent image quality in a variety of lighting conditions. The drone also claimed to have a transmission range of up to 12.4 miles (20 km), making it ideal for long-distance shots.
In addition to its impressive camera and range, the EVO Max 4T has a number of advanced features that make it a top choice for professional users. It has 720 degree obstacle avoidance sensors that allow it to detect and avoid objects in all directions, as well as GPS tracking, autonomous path finding, and a follow mode that allows the drone to follow the operator or a designated subject. The EVO Max 4T is also capable of reaching speeds of up to 45 mph (72 km/h) and has a flight time of up to 42 minutes.
Here is a comparison of the Autel EVO Max 4T and the DJI M30T based on their key features:
Camera: DJI drones are capable of capturing 4K video, but the EVO Max 4T has a higher resolution camera with a 1-inch CMOS sensor it can capture up to 8K video.
Range: The EVO Max 4T has a longer range than the M30T, with a maximum distance of up to 12.4 miles (20 km), compared to the M30T's range of 2.5 miles (4 km).
Flight time: The EVO Max 4T has a slight longer flight time, with a maximum of 42 minutes, compared to the M30T's flight time of up to 41 minutes.
Speed: Both drones are capable of reaching high speeds, with the EVO Max 4T being able to reach 45 mph (72 km/h) and the M30T being able to reach up to 47 mph (75 km/h).
Obstacle avoidance: Both drones have obstacle avoidance systems, but the EVO Max 4T has more advanced sensors that allow it to detect and avoid objects in all directions.
