Need to buy Autel robotics EVO II Pro in Europe for Ukraine Forces. Out of stock.
I need to buy for my good friend that drone. All stores show out of stock. Maybe someone knows the good store where I can find that drone in Europe?

I think that Empire Drone will ship worldwide, and I know that B&H Photo will.
Oh shit B&H just restocked the rugged bundle.
You have an Autel Evo II Pro, how are you still liking it? I might have to pull the trigger on it while I still can.
I'm still happy with it. I really haven't had any problems.
It does need excellent Micro Sd cards, though. It barfs on anything other than the top shelf (at least for 4K/60). It's less picky about still shots. PNY Pro Elite, Lexar Professional 1066X, and Samsung Extreme Pro keep it happy for video. For stills, I've had no problems using any U3 cards. Even the .ONN cards from Wally World work for stills.
So yeah, I still like it. It also uses the same airframe as some of the bufu expensive enterprise versions, so I expect they should be making parts available for a while.
You might want to visit the forum anyway because I have the V1. I read a few posts from people who claimed they were having problems with the V2. Then again, there are people who complain about anything, so you never know.
Nice, I just ordered the dual band version. I think that's the V2. My wallet hurts, but I think I can financially recover one day lol.
I'm glad you mentioned micro sd cards, I'm trying to figure out one that won't choke at 6k 120Mbps write speed, but those v90 and even v60 cards can get expensive really quickly. B&H Photo recommends this SanDisk Extreme card, but I'm a bit skeptical do you think that would be too slow for the job? My gut says it would be.
I'm familiar with those forums, I just wish they didn't make you make a new account for every flavor of forum though, thank you for the tip.
I had problems with that card at 4K / 30 if the scene was visually complex (foliage, for example). You need the Extreme Pro in the Sandisk line. But I prefer the PNY Pro Elite or the Lexar Professional 1066X because the aforementioned Sandisk Extreme should have been able to keep up at 4K / 30, but didn't. I've had no problems at all with the PNY or Lexar cards.
It could have been that one card, of course. But the point was that it didn't perform as I expected a U3 V30 card should have at that resolution and framerate. If I hadn't gotten it for free from either Autel Robotics or B&H, I would have returned it.
Good luck with the purchase! I think you'll be happy. The EVO II Pro is no race car, but I love the image quality and overall performance.
I hope to do some more scenic shooting now that my car has brakes that work again. This past winter's salt took its toll on two calipers, which I replaced yesterday. I also changed the rotors and pads a few days ago (which is how I found the caliper damage).
Between the new rotors, new pads, two rebuilt calipers, and the flush, the car stops on a dime now. And my back hurts. But I figure I saved about $1,200 to $1,400 on the whole shebang; so I'll deal with the backache.
