Chapter 1 Product Overview 1
Product Overview
Introduction
The EVO Max series aircraft is equipped with an industry-leading high-performance processing
chip, has powerful autonomous flight and self-organizing network mission capabilities, is
integrated with a visual sensing system and a millimeter-wave radar sensing system, and has
an omnidirectional obstacle avoidance system. With an excellent power management system,
the aircraft can reach a flight time of up to 42 minutes. Also, it utilizes a three-axis stabilized
gimbal, allowing you to view observed videos and data from different lenses in real time
through the Autel Enterprise App.
The EVO Max series aircraft adopts a foldable arm design and can hold its propellers for easy
storage and transportation. The top of the aircraft is equipped with a PSDK interface, allowing
you to add different industry-specific mounts on the aircraft to meet various operational needs.
The EVO Max series aircraft comes with a built-in ADS-B receiver, which can detect the status of
manned aircraft and provide alerts on the Autel Enterprise App. This allows for quick and safe
operation, thereby avoiding potential collisions. The top of the aircraft is equipped with
high-intensity strobes for indicating the aircraft's position in the air, while the bottom is
equipped with auxiliary lights to improve visual positioning performance in weak light
conditions, thus enhancing flight safety during landing.
The Autel Smart Controller V3 (hereinafter referred to as "remote controller") adopts the Autel
SkyLink 2.0 Image Transmission solution, has strong anti-interference capabilities, and can
achieve stable transmission of HD videos to the display screen of the Remote Controller. The
remote controller is equipped with multiple function buttons, enabling quick aircraft control
and camera operation.
The remote controller features a 7.9-inch 2048×1536 high-brightness touchscreen with a
maximum brightness of 2000 nits. It adopts a customized Android system that supports the
installation of third-party apps and offers functions such as satellite-based positioning, Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, and HDMI output. Moreover, it supports the PD65 fast charging protocol, allowing it
to operate up to 4.0 hours on a full charge.
Tip

The visual sensing system and millimeter-wave radar sensing system have limitations in
usage environments and regions. Please read the "Disclaimer and Safety Operation
Guidelines" to learn about relevant safety precautions.
The flight time of the aircraft is measured in a laboratory environment (The aircraft flies at
a constant speed of 10 meters per second in a light breeze environment) and is for
reference only. The actual
flight time may vary depending on factors such as
environmental conditions and flight mode.
The 4.0-hour operating
time of the remote controller is measured with the screen
brightness set to 50% and is for reference only. The operating time may vary in different
scenarios.
