The Autel EVO Max series boasts a unique drop device mechanism designed and manufactured by Autel Robotics. This officially supported system allows the drone to carry and release up to four items individually or simultaneously, making it an invaluable tool for various applications.
This drop mechanism transforms the EVO Max into a powerful asset for search and rescue, first responder missions, and other critical operations. It enables the remote delivery of vital supplies, equipment, and even lifesaving resources in challenging environments. The system attaches securely to the EVO Max body using a quick-release strap and a USB-C connection for seamless integration and control.
This digital connection empowers users to control each of the four mounting points via the Autel Pilot app on their Android or iOS device. With a simple tap, operators can release payloads individually or all at once, providing unparalleled flexibility and precision. Manual release is also an option for each mounting point, ensuring redundancy in critical situations.
For optimal performance, Autel recommends evenly distributing payload weight across all four mounting points. Each point has a maximum load capacity of 12.4 oz (350g). Maintaining balance ensures stable flight and accurate delivery.
