Comparing the DJI Mavic 2 Pro and Autel EVO II Pro Drones: Results May Surprise You | No Film School

Autel Robotics made a splash during CES 2020 announcing its EVO II drone series that includes options for 8K and 6K image capture. At CES 2021, the company added a thermal imaging option in the EVO II Dual 640T, a new RTK series, and Dragonfish, a highly capable commercial drone capable of flying for two hours.

Since the launch of the EVO II series, it's been somewhat flying under the radar, but I was able to get my hands on the EVO II Pro and compare it to the DJI Mavic 2 Pro. The results might surprise you.

Check out the video below.

EVO II Pro

1" CMOS Sensor, 20MP
6K and HDR Video
Omnidirectional Obstacle Avoidance
48MP Stills
Built-In Screen Remote Controller
40 Minute Flight Time
3-Axis Gimbal
$1,795 w/ controller

DJI Mavic 2 Pro

1" CMOS Sensor, 20MP
4K UHD and HDR video
Adjustable Aperture
OcuSync 2.0
48MP Stills
31 Minute Flight Time
3-Axis Gimbal
$2,049 w/ controller

DJI will certainly update the Mavic 2 soon. We'll most likely see the new version use the latest DJI remote and push the image capabilities of the sensor to new heights. To exactly what extent, we'll just have to wait and find out.

Mark Duplass Has Some Thoughts on Sundance Acceptance

Mark Duplass Shares His Thoughts on Sundance Acceptance

The Calvary King delivers a hopeful message to filmmakers who didn't get into Sundance.

Mark Duplass has always been a filmmaker's filmmaker. He famously delivered his "The Cavalry is Not Coming" speech at SXSW as a call to action for independent filmmakers to stop waiting and start shooting. Duplass also historically creates and works on small-budget indie projects, including being a key member of the lo-fi, bare-bones mumblecore movement. He's also a charismatic actor who brings a relatable ethos to every role he plays—not to mention seems like an overall cool dude.

We love Mark Duplass.

All the above considered, it's no surprise to see Duplass take to social media with an encouraging statement following the recently announced 2025 Sundance lineup this past Wednesday. Duplass, hot off positive reviews for the recently released The Creep Tapes on Shudder, warmly comforted filmmakers that if you happened to apply to Sundance and weren't selected, hey, that's okay. They curate 15,775. It happens.

We all know rejection sucks, but don't sweat it. Be proud of your project no matter what. And watch Mark Duplass's full snippet of encouraging wisdom below.
