XDynamics EVOLVE 2
A New Standard in Aerial Cinematography
The XDynamics EVOLVE 2 is the first fully integrated premium drone platform providing aerial cinematographers with professional grade filming capabilities and an advanced flight experience in a comprehensive package.
EVOLVE 2 is the smallest multirotor drone platform equipped with a mirrorless Micro Four Thirds camera supported by a monocoque carbon-fiber airframe that minimizes weight for longer flight time while providing enhanced structural integrity. The magnesium alloy ventral plate provides heat dissipation while reducing vibration during flight. Combined with high-power motors and optimized propeller design; the aircraft can reach speeds over 55mph supporting high-quality cinematography for action sports, racing, wildlife photography and other challenging applications.
The dual touchscreen Ground Station is designed to support a solo pilot/cinematographer and is widely considered one of the best controllers available today. Rated at 1,000 nits for easy viewing in bright outdoor conditions, it also features fully programmable controls and external antenna options to extend flight distances to 11km (6.8 miles).

Superior Photography and Video from a Superior Platform
The Perfect Balance of Art Technology
Since the infancy of motion pictures, the camera has played an important role in storytelling allowing the viewer to imagine themselves in the moment and put themselves in the middle of the action. The Astra camera system designed and manufactured by XDynamics allows you to capture the most amazing images even in the most hostile of environments.
EVOLVE 2 sports an Astra M4/3 camera with a Sony sensor and brushless gimbal system that brings unparalleled creative freedom to create work that moves people through their eyes. Designed for the multi-level professional, recording video at a maximum 4K at 120fps with a larger pixel pitch of 4,63µm – it offers higher dynamic range and greater light sensitivity. Combine these important features with interchangeable lenses from Olympus and Panasonic, SD Card/CFast 2.0 memory and encoding at H.264/H.265 or Apple ProRes and you can deliver professional grade HD broadcast files for commercials, feature films, documentaries and streaming applications.

Unparalleled Aerial Performance
Further, Faster, Longer
EVOLVE 2 has been designed from the ground up to provide an unparalleled flight experience to the forward-looking innovative pilots who push every day to deliver the finest in aerial cinematography. Proudly designed, manufactured and supported by the XDynamics team, the EVOLVE 2 is challenging what is possible in the air for the contemporary filmmaker.
The fuselage design is the smallest multirotor drone platform to carry a m4/3 payload and is built on a monocoque frame of carbon fiber and magnesium alloy that is weather resistant. This advanced design delivers specifications that push the envelope with 33 minutes of flight time and an impressive 11km (6.8 mile) range.
High power motors drive top speeds over 53mph while LiDAR sensor technology provides peace of mind for low altitude flyover maneuvers or foul weather take-offs and landings. This kind of power and speed requires the best control and the EVOLVE 2 boasts one of the finest aircraft and camera controllers available today. A protective clam shell case has dual touchscreens, 1,000 nit brightness and a grip designed for solo pilot/cinematographer allowing for simultaneous control of the aircraft and camera systems.

Strength, Durability and Resilience
Precision Craftsmanship for Superior Image Quality
Many companies primarily invest in marketing and fancy campaigns, we choose to invest in quality materials and workmanship. We design and manufacture virtually every component of our aircraft and camera (except for sensors and lenses) maintaining complete control over quality and engineering. We believe this is the correct path to creating the highest quality and most durable drone platforms for aspiring filmmakers.
The concept of the EVOLVE platform began with the idea that strength and durability are paramount to creating the best aerial cinematic experience for the pilot and the viewer. The EVOLVE 2 is built with a single carbon fiber fuselage with high tensile strength and stiffness while being lightweight and highly weather resistant. Combine this aircraft with the all weather proof clam shell designed Ground Station and you have a complete solution that delivers lasting, high-quality cinematography in the most challenging environments.

High Performance, Small Footprint
Powerful Enough to Get the Shot, Small Enough to fit in the Overhead Bin
Keeping our focus on the challenges presented to the modern cinematographer, we designed the EVOLVE 2 to fit the reality of life on the road, in the air and sometimes even the back of a camel. The entire platform has been made to be lightweight, compact and practical for the professional film maker. The new EVOLVE 2 backpack is designed to fit in the overhead compartment of commercial aircraft and be less conspicuous to average eye for safety while traveling. All of this while protecting the lightest m 4/3 drone platform and our award-winning Ground Station and all its accessories.
Versatility
Professional Intergrated Platform
Because professional filmmakers are looking to optimize their gear while making the most out of every situation, XDynamics has created an integrated and modular drone platform, that allows to travel light, set up in a heart-beat, operate single-handedly both drone and camera, and adapt to a wide range of purposes, conditions and environments.
