XDynamics Evolve Drone – First Flight, First Impressions
It’s so very refreshing to see an organization provide you with their very own model of what they consider is a fine quality drone, and making the established order even higher.
That's what a drone should look like..Loving the look so far.
great review! well done
Wow!!!!! What a COOL drone!! Like the remote! Nice review!
Great drone…. and great price ! …. ?
Cool drone……. controller looks like it feels like 3dr Solo controller.
Ever fly a 3Dr Solo?
Hi Cap! Great review. It's been a long time since anything new in prosumer drones impressed me. The other comments pretty much discussed it all. I'll just say thanks for sharing! Happy flying 🙂
great vid! i do think such a massiv big drone is only for pros! well the cam specs lack. no retractable landing gear i think you better get a p4pro. who needs such a bulky drone. i have a futaba t8fg and am happy mavic controllers are small. if you're flying rc planes/helis than a big controller is great but for drones no. i would say get yourself a mavic air plus a p4p and you're ready to rumble..smile
We finally got our Bebop 2. Check out our ‘less professional’ channel for drone high-jinks!!! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_MRpCKbUF-5eUoz3WalZJQ
Please mention price. I watch the bulk of YouTube videos on Fire TV and don't have access to links or comments for some dumb ass reason I will never understand.
Chinese knock offs coming soon
wow amazing
₹1,75,000 for a drone.
I can buy a car in it.
But the drone is dope.
Too much like the Q5004K. It's a quad for one and 2, landing gear do not retract.
For such an expensive drone, I'm surprised by the phantom-style fixed landing gear, which prevents you from getting a 360deg pan with the camera. Your thoughts?
I just bought an Inspire 1(2.0 complete with second controller and X3 camera) and love the fact that the l.g. lifts up and out of the way of shooting.
(my beef with Transport Canada at the moment is that the inspire 1 is not on the list of approved drones for advanced ops…!! GAH! The used market is rife for this amazing drone at an affordable price.)
Why not a great camera? Everything else is over the top? Great video.
Looks like rich big brother of AOSENMA CG035
It´s nice to see the advancements in design & technology introduced here. This should prompt a challenge to competitors. My interests are in aerial photography so this appeals to me. Thanks for the great review … even the frozen, barren landscape captured well with this beast.
This is such a good looking drone…but…i just went to the website to see what the price is and I laughed???so hard! $2400.00 are you freaking kidding me???. I can see this drone price dropping very soon. Hey DJI all you gotta do is make a sport model shell (badass)for the phantoms that looks like this and you will sell out!?
umm they do NOT sell this on their website, I went to the link to see the price but all they have for sale is spare parts and accessories. But considering that the camera alone is $459 I feel like if I knew the price I might choke a bit
And also why not compare it to the H as well
Speaking of large controllers I am surprised you didn't compare it to the typhoon H controller in size since its major complaint was its size too.
Capt. I have been watching and watching and waiting for this Drone to hit the market, and im happy that you are the honest brave soul to be one of first to review it. I will check out the website for specs. I just hope that X Dynamics is not a one hit wonder. Like Yuneec did with there look alike Q500, then left its customers out in the cold doing very little to improve it product, then just dropped it, and us. But is was looking to here if it had colisión avoidance? But keep it going i will be looking for more.
Nice-looking drone, but I wonder whether it is worth the cost as a videography drone, compared with the Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom and Autel Evo. The X-Dynamics Evolve looks much like the Yuneec Q500 4K, albeit with a better controller, and I think the Q500 4K is/was not worth its moderate price. Why should anyone spend $1000 – $1500 or more for an Evolve, instead of a 2 Pro, Zoom, or Evo, if 4K video imagery is your primary reason for buying a drone?
Holy crap pretty pricey looks like the carbon fiber body that Carolina DRONES sells for the q500
Woooooo is good dron and money
Does this have all the autonomous flight modes that many drones have ?
Amazing! Thanks for this overview.
Or you could get a Yuneec Typhoon H which has more stable video, a replaceable camera, a pretty nice controller too, all for under a grand (US). If you want the latest tech, go for its bigger brother, the Typhoon H Plus and you'll still save yourself a wad of benjies compared to the Evolve. But, I guess it's like comparing a Porsche to a Ferrari. Get whatever floats your boat and be happy for the options available.
Does it have acro?
That control alone is wicked! I've been waiting for a video on the Typhoon Hplus as I like the big screen on the control.
Love your videos Captain! ?
Well done!
Impressive quad, and especially impressive remote. For the price I would expect more tech features on the quad. Kind of reminds me of my Tali500. Regardless, great review.
Cap'n. Great 30 minute 'squashed' review of a really complex Drone – could easily have extended beyond 2 hours with all the features this amazing and serious piece of kit includes – so, great job there! ?? – I enjoyed watching this …. It makes many of the other major drone manufacturers products look very 'toyish'! especially that REALLY cool controller it has – I don't think the price is outrageous compared to eg. the DJI Inspire (I owned one of those) – if it works 100% reliably …. ?
Wow. You flimed this yesterday? And you didn't have gps issues during the gps satellite reset? I guess they made a big deal about not flying tommorow for nothing I could've flown my Anafi yesterday.
I would hands down pay that over a DJI Maverick or even the inspire. That controller with GPU combo literally has room to grow. if and i say if it’s an nvidia k1 or the one made by snapdragon for drones that thing has it on smash.
Considering everything, I’ll take my Mavic 2 Pro anyday.
