  • The Autel EVO Lite+ offers great hardware, flight performance, and photo/video quality. It's in a unique position to compete with both the DJI Air 2S and the DJI Mavic 3 as it shares similar features between the two, but is priced more closely to the Air 2S. For less than $1600 the EVO Lite+ takes excellent photos and videos (even in low light), has long battery life and is easy to operate. Some features still need work, but the system is being regularly updated.

    Nice thorough review! very helpful. I have a Mavic Air2 and as an upgrade I have been considering a 2s or Mavic 3 and I'm glad to see another contender. I'm pretty specifically looking for low light hyperlapse and the bigger battery. The lite+ is looking good to me!

    I have the Lite+ & am pleasantly surprised with the 35 minute real flight time, its excellent dynamic range & colour science.
    The auto night & super night video modes deliver outstanding results. This is where it excels over the Mavic 3 (I own a M3 too).
    It is a great addition to my collection of drones.

    Hi Paul…. Enjoyed your review. I am kind of a newbie to this hobby, but since getting my Mini2 in 10/21 I have acquired the Air 2S and recently the Evo Lite Plus. Still getting used to flying it, but it is an enjoyable UAV to watch and fly. Love the Orange- and very quiet in flight and even when hovering near by. I liked and subscribed, hope to see more from you. Thanks 😊.

    It's a great drone and at least for color and sharpness outperforms my Mavic 2 Pro. I'm hoping Autel can work out some of the bugs and quirks and add a few more features in the Sky App to make this an even better drone!
    Thanks for the review....

      You’re welcome. Compared to my Mavic 2 pro, I was impressed. Flight time was big for me and I found video and photo to be on par mostly. Once they add some advanced picture profiles and settings and improve their tracking, this will be a big one for a lot of pilots.

    Another Plus + (no pun intended) for the EVO Lite Plus +, the PREMIUM PACKAGE is available right now at B&H Photo for $1649 (IN STOCK). OR can order the standard version for $1349! Excellent Review, Thanks for Posting!!! UPDATE: Prices are now at the higher price (just as other retailers). Since this review, Autel Lite Plus now has HDR, LOG, HISTOGRAM and other new features.....!!!

    I just had a shoot using the Autel lite plus during some rough weather. 23-30 kt gusts. The drone was far from people. I was amazed at the stability!! I was not able to maintain the exact yaw I wanted but only by a few degrees. This was an easy fix in post. At no point did I need to abort the flight as the drone was level, and stable. For the money I highly recommend the lite plus. During hyperlapse the drone is prone to disconnecting from the app. I wish this would be fixed but it is a very small issue compared to the robust features of this drone. Also this is a small thing but the included carry case is a major plus. I can take the drone anywhere with all the required kit and no need to find and purchase another solution.

    The Evo lite plus is a decent drone and I want Autel to have continued success. More options and hopefully keeps the pricing down.
    But a ’ killer’ , I can’t say that. The Air 2S biggest grievance is the fixed aperture. Ok but honestly it really doesn’t matter. It shoots amazing pics and vid’s. Not to mention it’s performance is amazing. The Evo lite + not able to shoot in log. Definite deal breaker. Get that added and is worth revisiting that drone.

    I noticed in many presentation videos of this Dorne, that the images have many Flicks, similar to the Porpousing of Formula 1 (F1), would it be the absence of filters, or some problem of the Image Processing Software?

      What was your biggest complaint with the Mavic 3? I would love to really get the chance to use one for an extended period and compare it to my Mavic 2. I understand it has some improved low light performance, dynamic range, and of course flight time. That new controller looks like a big backstep, however.

    Doesn’t fly as steadily. Gimbal moves too fast. Just not as high quality as DJI. But that is all of their drones comparatively

    • @sugarmedic
      @sugarmedic 11 месяцев назад

      You can slow this down in settings. I have the smooth mode set for when I record. I think the speed for the gimbal is 3. This allows super slow pans. I can always speed this up during post. If I need motion blur for background footage I just speed it up a little.

    "Killer." Sure, I guess. That had to be worth some clicks. Will it actually kill the Air 2S? Not a chance. Not even a little chance.
