AUTEL LITE - Full Camera Review / King of Low Light
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 ноя 2024
- This is my first review to test the Autel Evo LITE, an instant Camera Drone Champion.
The primary focus of this review is to discuss the outstanding capability & performance of the Lite's RYYB camera.
The dynamic range, low light performance, colour science & image detail from this RYYB camera is truly exceptional.
I provide only a very brief overview of its flight capability and intelligent flight modes etc. I do not touch on the Hyperlapse or Defog functions.
Sorry, some of the app screen captures are in low resolution.
The Autel LITE flies similar to DJI drones, with excellent flight characteristics, together with a long flight time..
The LITE easily outperforms DJI's Air2s for camera capability & performance, & its extended flight time.
For low light & night captures, this RYYB filter/camera is the best in the consumer drone category.
This is not the Autel Lite+.

World's First 4-axis Gimbal Design
The Autel EVO Lite is the first drone in the world to introduce a four-axis gimbal design, enabling you to shoot vertical videos for easy editing and sharing on mobile devices, plus a rotating gimbal to capture some very unique videos.
Supersensitive 50MP Camera
Experience a new level of image quality thanks to a supersensitive 50MP camera equipped with a 1/1.28-inch CMOS sensor. The camera adopts an RYYB colour filter array design, which absorbs 40% more light than traditional RGGB arrays, and with superb dynamic range allowing you to capture natural scenery in all its glory.
Defog Mode
Whether you're flying over a gloomy hilltop at dawn or hovering at the base of a waterfall, cut through the haze with a fog penetration function that automatically adjusts the camera's vibrant settings to make your footage look crisp and clear.
HDR Video
Retain rich details in shadows and highlights, transforming washed out stills into true works of art, alive with deep, velvety shadows and vibrant pops of colour.

Hello from the United States! I haven't had a chance to see any footage straight out of camera yet but I am happy to see someone mention the detail as a positive, and not call it "over sharpening". To me, after watching test footage online the detail just looks like the signs of a quality sensor combined with a company that isn't down grading the output to create a cinema line of drones. ( New Subscriber!👍)
@blendersandblox whilst both the Nano+ & Lite have the RYYB filter and I have noticed the Nano+ imagery has some oversharpening, However with the Lite the sharpening has been dialled down. The Lite has excellent optics and imagery is outstanding, in particular with video content. DJI fanboys call out good image detail in this imagery as being oversharpening, however I would call out DJI's imagery as being too soft and indicating inferior optics on their cameras. Each to their own. I've owned and flown the Mavic 3, Air 3 and Mini series, and IMO imagery from the Lite is better than these drones, whilst DJI's software & flight performance is better than Autel.
Your enthusiasm stirs up the atmosphere here, You have given me moments of relaxation
Thankyou
Stunning image quality, makes me glad I've held off on my next drone because I think this one will be it. Great shots too btw!
The RYYB filter & sensor on the LITE drone delivers exceptional results, particularly with videos.
Excellent review! I couldn't have said what you said about the drone any better. Spot on comments on the attributes of the camera. I've only had mine now a little over a month, and I still haven't gotten around to testing out ALL it's features (tracking, quickshots). This gives me a reason to want to get out every day and fly it some more.
Thanks very much.
The LITE has an amazing camera.
This is not the Lite+.
@@ozstrayapanoramas8610 I have now seen you mention that 3 times, "this is not the Lite+". Why? Do you have something against the Lite+? If I have a big interest in low-light photography, why would I choose the regular Lite over the Lite? I really would love to hear your thoughts on that, because I obviously have missed the boat - I thought the Lite+ is a (very) big upgrade over the Lite. Thanks.
@@scotthuggins7151my video clearly explains the pros & cons of the Lite camera.
Many people get confused or are not aware there are 2 X Lite models.
Each to their own, everyone is entitled to their opinions. Fly & operate whatever drone delivers for you.
Great and detailed review. I'm working on getting one soon, it will be my number one go to drone for sure.
The Autel LITE has become my drone of choice.
Outstanding camera on a good performance aircraft.
And I own the Mavic 3 but the imagery results from the LITE are totally amazing.
Fantastic review. Autel's camera is truly amazing. Your mic is so clear and your presentation is very professional. Great job.
Thanks very much Brett, and the RYYB sensor breaks all the traditional RGGB editing rules & expectations.
The image results do all the talking in my opinion.
Great review Ross, it looks like a wonderful drone. The video looked very good. But I checked and drone doesn't seem to available from US retailers. Did you order directly from Autel? Thanks for sharing my friend.
It is only available in very limited numbers.
Some AliExpress vendors & RCGoing have them.
Thank you for the review. Working on getting one myself 💪
It is now my drone of choice, amongst many (DJI & Autel)
👍 I have This Autel from 3 weeks : amazing drone !! it confirms your descriptions 😊
Yes, an outstanding camera on a very capable aircraft
@@ozstrayapanoramas8610 i totally agree !😁
Great review!!! Watched on a 4k tv. Good shots! You got the best flying cameras! Reminds me film quality.
Thanks very much. My first ever review like this.
The Autel LITE has now become my drone of choice.
An outstanding camera on a good performance aircraft is perfect for my needs.
And I currently own the Mavic 3, Lite+ & Nano+ (plus owned numerous DJI & other brand drones prior) but the imagery results from the Autel LITE are off the scale amazing and is benchmark in many areas..
I thought I'd refrain from talking it up too much in this video.
But I did enjoy clarifying the difference between image definition & sharpness for those who like their soft imagery.
@@ozstrayapanoramas8610 When you see the details, dynamic range in both luma and chroma of these two drones it is hard to look at any DJI footage because they look look up-converted footages from 720p to 4k. People do get brain-watched by nonsense reviews and ideas how things are when they are not. And if you watch the footage in a 4k and 8k you can see a HUGE difference in quality. But again, people with tunnel vision will always see a brand and not what the product does. Even some of my viewers that thought I was wrong about the Nano+ that got a Mavic 3 Cine realized that in fact the Nano+ is just superior in camera. Another one did even buy my t-shirt because he did a test with people watching in a public tv room and everyone chose the Nano+ footage vs his Mavic. Now that you have a powerhouse in your hand, keep filming!!! And remember that the most beautiful drone shots are the close up flying ones. Everything from the distance looks the same. I always recommend people to tell a story on every scene, at least 3 different angles. And with theses drones you can be making amazing contents. In these days when I am live streaming, I want to show you how to create the visual fx I am talking about with the camera rotating, it is not hard but you need to see the keyframes when to place them so the transition looks seamless and perfect. Also, soon, I will be creating clouds and suns that can be used over the footage to make any shot perfect exposure. That is an old trick we use to film sun even with high end film cameras. The key is to mimic live where people can not tell if it is fake. Transition like this: ruclips.net/video/mc0HYYTmSa4/видео.html that I made.
@@InteractiveDNA yes DJI are clever with their marketing, and many consumers simply follow the crowd & know no better until later on.
@@ozstrayapanoramas8610 True! And if you say anything negative they unsubscribe to your channel, simply childish behavior and lack of knowledge and create mind. These all are create gears and having the right gears does help.
Just got mine yesterday and set it all up going for a flight and get some video clips today
Excellent, enjoy !
Very nice review! Looks like a keeper!
Yes, it sure is, an outstanding camera on a very capable aircraft
Nice video Ross
Thanks Stan
This is a great review, thank you! ....However, now I'm even more confused. I was all set to purchase the Lite+ (not because higher price means better product) until I watched this review. I'm a professional photographer with stills being my priority over video. I like to have control over my images and work exclusively with RAW files. I'm hesitant to lose the benefit of RAW editing by going with the Lite because the jpegs are really good. Am I really going to notice a big difference if I end up going with the Lite+? Thank you
As I stated in my review the dynamic range of the RYYB camera is outstanding.
RYYB standard imagery edits almost the same as RGGB raw or log imagery.
The standard RYYB imagery results are better than RYYB Raw or Log, and Log & Raw still has a poor colour profile & some vignetting.
I know this goes totally against the rules of RGGB imagery but it is what it is.
IMO the RYYB AI produces better results in standard jpeg or MP4 profile.
Nonetheless the issue is trying to obtain a Lite as they are very difficult to find. Maybe an AliExpress vendor may have one available.
The Lite+ still has amazing imagery, but IMO the Lite produces better results.
@@ozstrayapanoramas8610 ok, thank you again Ross for your advice, greatly appreciated
@@camhadlowphotography my pleasure
@@camhadlowphotography As your preference is photography only, I'd stick with the Lite+.
It will be difficult for you to break with your traditional RGGB editing processes.
If you wanted both videography and photography, I would go with the Lite, as the video imagery is exceptional from this RYYB sensor.
So would you recommend the Lite over Lite+ due to the RYYB sensor?
In respect to camera capability yes I would recommend the Lite over the Lite+.
But the Lite is difficult to find for sale. Some AliExpress vendors may have.
I got my Lite via vendor - RCGoing.
Great video, thanks for sharing 👍
Thankyou, glad you enjoyed it
I have a Mavic zoom, and I have always been a bit underwhelmed with the image quality.
Watching flytpaths comparison of the Mavic 3 lite + and the air 2s it was totally obvious to my eye that the lite + was easily the best camera. Has made my next drone purchase quite easy!
Yes, image definition from the Autel cameras are very good, most likely due to higher quality lenses
For use in topographic mapping which do you indicate?
I don't do topographic mapping
iv had dji pros and after 2 of them due to bad customer service i got an evo 1 awesome piece of kit and then upgraded to the evo 2 6k and by far the best camera and flying experience iv ever had iv just got another tablet android of course from amazon and wow very good indeed for a drone
The Evo 2 Pro is a reliable workhorse with a very good camera.
Autel drones are renown for having excellent image definition, most likely due to Autel using very high quality lenses.
I have the lite plus. It took me a while to accept the plus not having the ability to shoot vertically! 😢. I was super excited to finally be able to post on IG vertically. Only to get it and realize that's ONLY the lite! Not the lite plus! But all in all. I am very happy with the plus as well! You gave me some ideas as well. I shoot in best settings available but I will change to mp4 and jpeg and see if I like that setting better. I most like the drone because you don't really need to edit at all. Shoot and post! Every so often I'll edit but you don't need to! Still learning her as it's only been three weeks. I will say nighttime flying ❤❤❤❤❤❤ oh my gosh😢😢😢❤❤❤😢😢😢❤❤❤. Beautiful. Autel really out shined themselves this time. Now don't get me wrong all drones have draw backs. Aka things that can improve. So I'm glad you didn't do like most and act like DJI is without issues and is perfect.
The Lite+ has rggb filter so best image results are from log & raw. The Lite has a ryyb filter which is where I recommend standard JPG & MP4, not raw & log.
DJI has far superior software and fly better but Autel's stand out feature is the quality of their cameras. IMO they are alot better than any DJI drone comparative.
@@ozstrayapanoramas8610 oh ok I'll test out log and raw together and see how it looks. Thanks
Does this drone offer a DLOG option for video recording? And if it does is it 8 bit or 10 bit color?
Dlog is a DJI term.
Yes the LITE offers Log in 8 bit.
But remember the Lite has a RYYB filter.
The RYYB array increases the amount of red light in the three primary colors (yellow=red+green) by replacing the two green pixels (G) of RGGB with yellow pixels (Y). This effectively "reduces the banding" normally associated with RGGB in the color filter process.
The results in 8 bit with RYYB are totally different to RGGB.
@@ozstrayapanoramas8610 Thanks for the information Ross.
Even in a comment you're pushing Bias for DJI.
rotating gimbal 360 or 720 degres where do i find the settings
This is the Lite, not the Lite+.
Do you have the Lite?
@@ozstrayapanoramas8610 lite +
Torn between this and the Lite+.
Same aircraft, different camera. IMO the RYYB sensor delivers better dynamic range than any consumer drone RGGB camera
@@ozstrayapanoramas8610 Seems so. But I like the idea of a variable aperture which allows you to simplify or in some cases eliminate the use of ND filters. Would love to see variable aperture and the Lite’s sensor combined!
@@robweaver9953 ND filters allow the light stop down without having to use a closed down iris, so there are quite a bit of differences between ND use and aperture adjustments. I prefer ND filters on my E2Pro vs stopping down with aperture.
@@miketipton678 Yes, I know. But there are times when changing conditions render your current ND filter either too strong or two weak, and having to land to change filters is a pain. With variable aperture you can often continue to fly with the same filter. FYI, I am mainly interested in preventing over exposure on really bright days- not a believer in “cinematic motion blur” for most landscape videography.
