Solo pilots can take full control over flying, camera operation, footage, settings, and more with the Dual-Screen Ground Station Controller for EVOLVE 2 from XDynamics. No additional devices are required with this remote, as you're given two built-in touchscreens. During a flight, the 8" display shows you a live camera feed and lets you control the drone and camera functions. After the flight, you can use the screen and sophisticated UI for footage review and editing. The smaller 5.5" display provides control over the flight, GPS, gimbal, and controller settings.

Like the EVOLVE 2, the Ground Station can handle most outdoor shooting conditions, with an all-weather shell and 1000cd/m² of brightness for easy readability. The default antennas can transmit all of this data and content from up 2.5 miles away, and an optional monitor can be plugged in via HDMI to share everything with other members of your crew. Thanks to fast boot times, you can open the Ground Station's protective clamshell and be ready to fly in as little as a minute. Powering the remote is a removable LiPo battery that can run for up to 2 hours per charge. The images and videos you save to the remote can be stored on an optional microSD card or USB Type-C-compatible external drive.

The built-in user interface of the Ground Station remote provides pilots with a variety of useful features to help in preflight and postflight:

• Warnings and alerts regarding no-fly zones and other restrictions are displayed on the controller.
• View local forecasts that include sunrise and sunset times.
• View a preflight checklist that contains the current settings, sensor information, and a summary of the EVOLVE 2's status. It will either show that it's ready to fly, not recommended to fly, or not ready to fly. You can also calibrate the compass and adjust the return-to-home altitude from anywhere between 65.6 to 262.5'.
• Use Creative Assistant to apply one of a variety of visual templates onscreen while in flight. They are designed to help you compose a more compelling shoot for your project. Visual templates include circle, diagonal, grid, golden ratio, quadrant, simple division, thirds, triangle, and vanishing.
• View footage and data from a flight, such as the EVOLVE 2's flight path, altitudes, and timing. All flight data can be backed up on a PC to your user account.
• An integrated CMS helps you keep all your data organized for easy retrieval and review. You can review content based on location, time periods, type of footage, or categories via title or hashtag.
• An integrated content editor lets you make basic edits to images or videos and add titles, letting you get the footage you've just taken out to co-workers, clients, or social media as quickly as possible. Whatever you do can be saved to a different file so your original content remains untouched.
