Autel EVO II Dual boasts both a FLIR Boson sensor, with a thermal resolution up to 640x512, plus the same 8K camera that comes with the standard model. They’re capable of recording simultaneously, though seemingly at a very low resolution in thermal mode.
All 3 cameras have a maximum bitrate of 120Mbps. They will also feature 10-bit color depth. What’s more, each variant is modular, meaning you can upgrade or switch the camera system without having to buy a whole new drone.
In one word, All three drones have the same body with different cameras. EVO II 8K comes with a 1/2" camera sensor that's capable of shooting 8K video and 48MP stills. Autel EVO 2 Pro features a 1" sensor that has an adjustable aperture and can shoot 6K video. And finally, the EVO 2 Dual equipped with a FLIR Boson sensor and combines the 8K camera with a thermal camera that offers a resolution of up to 640×512.
