The top night vision infrared imaging drone EVO MAX 4N has a new beginning. The EVO MAX 4N V2 will replace the EVO MAX 4N and, along with the EVO MAX 4NZ V2, will usher in the future of nighttime drone missions. This article will detail the differences between the Autel EVO MAX 4N vs. Autel EVO MAX 4N V2 vs. Autel EVO MAX 4NZ V2.
What are the changes in the Autel EVO MAX V2 series?
The Autel EVO MAX V2 series still retains the multi-rotor drone design, strengthens the drone performance and autonomy, and further supports the drone's mission capabilities.
The EVO Max V2 series has improved the layout of the fisheye lens and navigation lights, improving the drone's visual obstacle avoidance ability; the side slot heat dissipation port design improves heat dissipation performance; installing ABX41-D batteries can support the battery in place detection function.
The EVO MAX 4N drone series supports the Fusion 4N gimbal camera, Fusion 4N V2 gimbal camera, and Fusion 4NZ-L camera. These interchangeable gimbal cameras provide enhanced support for drone data collection.
