WELCOME TO EVO II

Now you can explore, discover and create like never before. The EVO II delivers not only advanced features like obstacle avoidance and intelligent flight modes but also a high-tech muscle that brings home a top speed of 44mph, 35-minute flight hover time, 40-minute flight time, and an operating distance of 5.6 miles.

In-flight performance, however, is just the start. The EVO II’s stabilized 3-axis camera allows you to shoot at up to 8K/25 fps, and view the live feed at up to 1080p on your mobile device or the remote control’s built-in OLED screen.
