Quick Answer: The Autel EVO Max 4T XE ($8,999) is Autel's flagship multi-sensor enterprise drone, combining a 48MP zoom camera (10x optical / 160x digital), a 50MP wide camera, a 640x512 thermal imager, and a 1.2km laser rangefinder. With A-Mesh networking, GPS-denied SLAM navigation, a 20km transmission range, and no geofencing, it is built for public safety, inspection, and mapping. NDAA / Blue UAS cleared. Ships from the US.
The Autel EVO Max 4T XE is the multi-sensor workhorse of Autel's enterprise lineup. Where most drones force a choice between thermal, zoom, or wide capture, the 4T XE carries all of it in a single gimbal, so one flight delivers thermal anomaly detection, standoff optical identification, wide-area mapping, and precise distance-to-target coordinates. It is the platform of choice for teams that need DJI-class capability with no software geofencing and federal procurement eligibility.

Why the EVO Max 4T XE
-
One flight, every sensor. Thermal, 10x optical zoom, 50MP wide, and laser ranging in a single payload eliminate the need to swap aircraft or make multiple passes.
-
No geofencing. Launch authority stays with the operator and incident commander, critical for public safety teams near airports or restricted airspace.
-
NDAA / Blue UAS eligible. On the DIU Blue UAS cleared list for federal and grant-funded procurement, where DJI is restricted.
-
Built for hard conditions. Level 12 wind resistance, A-Mesh networking for multi-aircraft coverage, and SLAM navigation for GPS-denied indoor and urban environments.
Use Cases
Public safety: standoff identification with 10x zoom, thermal tracking at night, and laser-ranged coordinates for tactical teams. Thermal inspection: power lines, solar farms, and industrial sites in a single flight. Mapping and survey: 50MP wide capture for area documentation, with the optional RTK module for centimeter accuracy.
Accessories
