EVO II Firmware and Explorer App Updates Introduces New Features
A new update for EVO II V2, Firmware V2.3.8, is available on April 18, 2022. This new version will add new security features, increase flight control options, add new third-party compatibility, and fix bugs and issues.
Please note: to access all of these new features, you will need to update your Autel Explorer App to the latest version:
iOS: 1.13.0
Android: 1.1.8.8.1
Date: 04/18/2022
Here’s a look at some of the new features and how to access them.
New Features
Media file encryption
Users can encrypt all photos and videos stored on the drone, so if the aircraft is lost on a mission, the footage can’t be stolen. From the Security tab in the Settings menu, select Media Encryption. You’ll be prompted to set a password and then configure the SD card or internal storage. In order to use the footage, you’ll have to decrypt the media after the mission.
Flight Log Auto-sync
Users can now automatically sync flight log data with compatible apps. From the main menu, select the user icon and go to Flight Records. Tap the icon in the top right to select which app you’d like to sync your flight logs to. This is currently compatible with Airdata, Dronelogbook, and will soon be compatible with Aloft.

Tap the angle icon in the lower left of your screen, and a slider will pop up, letting you pick between 0, 30, 45, 60, or 90 degrees. You can also use the slider to change the angle manually.
Weather Auto-settings
There are now preset options for lowlight and bright light shooting, as well as a mode to optimize the camera for the Pix4D photogrammetry software.
