EVO Max 4R redefines portability with its powerful platform and all weather design

The EVO Max series adopts a multi-source sensor fusion perception technology combining “binocular fisheye vision + millimeter-wave radar”, providing 720° omni-directional perception and obstacle avoidance capabilities. It supports all-weather operations, overcoming complex working environments such as water surfaces and high-voltage power lines. It can penetrate dust, fog, rain, and snow, remaining unaffected by harsh weather conditions. Even at night, it ensures flight safety.


The built-in flight control computing unit, GNSS receiver module, and image transmission module enable the EVO Max series to identify flight control interference signals and satellite positioning interference signals, providing outstanding anti-interference capabilities. This equips the EVO Max series with reliable flight stability.
The EVO Max series features the industry-first A-Mesh networking technology, enabling multiple devices to form a free network between drones, drones and ground terminals. It supports various modes such as “one control, multiple drones” and “master-slave dual control”. Even in scenarios involving long-distance flights, obstacle traversal, flying around mountains or buildings, or even in areas with no network coverage, it can establish a free network among multiple devices within the network, enabling collaborative operations. This breaks through the operational boundaries of conventional drones, achieving integrated air-ground network coverage and confidently dealing with complex terrains.


The EVO Max 4T integrates a 160x zoom camera, a super-sensitive wide-angle camera, a thermal imaging camera, and a laser rangefinder. Additionally, the EVO Max 4N, equipped with a super-starlight-grade gimbal camera, integrates a super-starlight-grade night vision camera, a super-sensitive wide-angle camera, a thermal imaging camera, and a laser rangefinder. Intelligent coordination between multiple sensors enables seamless all-weather operations like never before.
The payload integrates wide-angle, zoom, and thermal camera with a laser rangefinder for all data capture needs and critical decision making
The zoom camera supports 8K 10x continuous optical zoom and a maximum hybrid zoom of up to 160x, making vehicles and ships visible up to 2 kilometers away. Operators do not need to go to the scene, thereby improving work efficiency and ensuring the safety of personnel and flight equipment.

| Operating Environment | 60 GHz millimeter-wave radar sensing system: Supports all-weather obstacle avoidance for glass, water, wires, buildings, and trees in 4 directions. Its obstacle avoidance distance varies with the obstacle’s ability to reflect electromagnetic waves and its surface size. 24 GHz millimeter-wave radar sensing system: Supports downward sensing, and its sensing range varies by the ground material. For example, the sensing range of cement ground is 12 meters, and the sensing range of grass with a thickness of more than 3 cm is less than 6 meters. |
| Aircraft Version Limitations* | To comply with (national) regional regulations, certain aircraft versions use a 24 GHz millimeter-wave radar in the downward direction and use 60 GHz radars in the forward, backward, and upward directions. In the 24 GHz aircraft version, the 60GHz radars in the forward, backward, and upward directions are disabled in the flight software at the factory, and only the 24GHz radar in the downward direction is enabled to assist in landing. The 24 GHz aircraft version only supports visual obstacle avoidance under good lighting conditions and does not support millimeter-wave radar obstacle avoidance at night. |
