Putting this video together was a really frustrating experience, primarily because of how much I had to use the Autel Nano+. Small little issues popped up while trying to obtain example clips that I didn’t even mention in this video which led to a clunky experience flying the drone. In short - save some money and buy the Mini 3 Pro. It’s way better.

[@InvincibleStormFilms]

Great comparison as always. Zero surprise here. That Nano should be priced at 499 at this point 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@mharro88]

@@InvincibleStormFilms if I had the choice between the two I'd take the autel everytime as I shoot a lot of lowlight footage.

[@bobmarkee6859]

Don't sell the Mini 3 short when it comes to light. With it's huge aperture, the DJI is very good@@mharro88

[@ozstrayapanoramas8610]

I shoot alot of low light videography/photography. I own both the Mavic 3 Pro & Nano+, and IMO the Nano+ blows the Mavic 3 Pro out of the park with its superior low light performance. The Nano+ is on another level to RGGB sensors for low light performance.

[@ozstrayapanoramas8610]

@@bobmarkee6859 yes the Mini 3 Pro is good in low light, but the Nano+ is on another level & far superior for low light performance.

[@ozstrayapanoramas8610]

In terms of camera capability, there is a big difference between these 2 drones. The RYYB filter on the Nano+ produces more detail (not sharpness), more dynamic range & alot better low light capability than the RGGB filter on the Mini 3. The 50mp images from the Nano+ are more detailed than the 48mp images from the Mini 3. Given this reviewer is well recognized as a DJI product influencer, it is very convenient (more like deliberate) that he didn’t mention no geofencing on the Nano+, or perform a low light comparison, which are very well known major strengths of the Nano+. Contrary to this reviewer's comment that "the jury is out on low light performance", the Nano+ has been proven time & time again to have the best low light performance of any consumer drone worldwide. It could also be argued Autel’s Skylink transmission is better than Occusync 3. Given these Nano+ benefits are not mentioned, this video doesn't have much creditability as a balanced review. Image & transmission capability aside the Mini 3 Pro is a far more polished & capable drone.

[@keytiger7]

Exactly but u can't expect a dji cult member to give credit to where it's due, they kiss djis ass till death lol. I didn't even watch the video because I knew what he was going to say before he said it.

[@allegriach]

What does mean no geofence? Who is in need of no geofence? Isn’t there a reason for geofence? Hobbyist eventually don’t even realise there’s geofence because their flight plan is away from airfields/airports and people don’t intend to fly inside restricted area’s? Is there someone who can reliable confirm Autel Skylink is respecting the CE wireless standard? Some mesurement says they don’t change between CE and FCC. The transmission is leagally bound by restrictions in addition we have to accept to fly inside VLOS. Who is in need to break thorugh this regulations? After 2023 the European drone regulations requests all this C classifications. I really hope Autel will take care of that. Otherwise the camera quality is great. I absolutely agree when they got the award "best drone besides DJI".....

[@allegriach]

@Sub250 aerial shots Seems o be lack of communication then. Is it that bad? isn’t there a reason for geofence?

[@InteractiveDNA]

DJI product influencer for sure! Reality shows something else.

[@allegriach]

@@InteractiveDNA In this case Autel should influence more. Than the game changes. Instead of pointing out who is influenced. No?

[@mharro88]

The autel drone just shoots better footage and to me that's what I want. Especially lowlight which you fail to even show? This is where the autel excels with it's ryyb sensor. Poor comparison. Sounds like an advertisement to me.

[@ozstrayapanoramas8610]

Billy is known as a DJI product influencer & his omission of the very well known strengths of the Nano+ seems very convenient.

[@petem.3719]

Nano Plus w/premium pack, delivered price $604 in March 2023, about $250-300 less than similarly equipped M3P. Also better real life transmission stability and low light camera. And no geo-fencing. Bag has mesh pocket inside for sticks.

[@Abbelin84]

You should adjust or add a description disclaimer stating the DJI is no longer cheaper. I know on launch it was but the Autel is fairly cheaper now, and anyone new will look at your vide and think you're a DJI shill... just a recommendation.

[@donovanbair2647]

There is no tie in image quality, the Nano is clearly better. The Mini 3 is better in most of the other aspects except for the Nano’s no Geo Fencing.

[@berndm9743]

You forgot to mention one tiny little bit of information. The DJI products are hamstringed by the Nanny system that DJI is forcing on you. There are many instances where it won't let you fly for no apparent reason. The Autel has no Nanny system and relies on you to do do the right thing and follow the rules. Imagine you buy a new car and it is limited to 80 mph. Wouldn't THAT rub you the wrong way? Yep, that's DJI.

[@armija]

You forgot to mention two, in my case at least very important categories and features, and those are zoom levels where Autel has 16x zoom vs just 4x max zoom on DJI, also geo-fencing which for me is very important since I live in that pesky blue zone for DJI.

[@donvincentjr]

I have 4 DJI drones . Love them all. But MAN DO I HATE GEOFENCING!! I live near Washington DC and several airports, and military bases, and many other geofenced areas. I’m well versed in obtaining unlocking permissions when I’m able. But sometimes it takes more time than others, and I’ve had times where I could unlock easily one day and couldn’t unlock other days. I guess what I’m saying…..The lack of geofencing on the autel is worth several checks in the pros category of my pros and cons list.

[@TheColonelJJ]

Billy. You only posted this four days ago, but you are way of on the pricing. I bought the Autel Nano+ Premium Bundle on Dec 24th for $650!!

[@londenard]

You're right but he was stating the MSRP and not the holiday sale price. People watch these videos day, weeks or months later so his best bet was to quote the MSRP. Heck, the way Autel is going, the Nano+ might be $450 in a month or so...

[@londenard]

Heck, the Nano+ Premium Bundle is on sale for $565!!! That's crazy cheap! I have no idea where the bottom is!

[@zbigniewcichowski2071]

Agree with everything what you said. One reason I bought the Nano +, this drone was on market before Mini 3. Second - no geotag. I was with the client for roof inspection and my Mini 3 don't bother to even spin the props...

[@f13dfx]

I'm not a famous KZbin influencer like Billy Kyle BUT I have to set the record straight. I've owned both the Nano+ and Mini 3 Pro. The Nano+ has a very slightly sharper image, both during the day and at night. Low light performance is very good for both. Where the Nano+ is better is in it's control transmission over a 2km distance and in it's landing accuracy; usually within a foot everytime I do a RTH. The only reason I have the Mini 3 Pro now is that I own a RC Pro controller (for my Mavic 3) and I only need the one controller for both drones. Lastly, the precision of the RC Pro is far superior to the toylike Autel controller and of course the Mini 3 Pro's excellent handling even in windy conditions, as well as it's tracking capabilities.

[@Matanumi]

I wouldn't say the recent Auto controller isn't totally toy like- the shoulder buttons feel cheap but everything else feels premium. My issue is there isn't enough buttons for speed control and stick storage- theybdidnt fully think it out

[@LiveMyJourneyTom]

Thing is that the image from Autel Nano is not sharper. It’s plain over sharpened. DJI has a tendency to oversharpen the image out of their drones which is largely detrimental to the image quality. They have actually listened to the user feedback and now offered sharpness setting where you can disable it in camera or even boost it to the unnatural level of nano.

[@tcgreen11]

You have a M3P because its more reliable and usable, just be honest. Lol.

[@ssb73q]

Hi Billy, I have the Autel Nano+, DJI Mini 3 Pro, and DJI Mini 3. We buy camera drones for the camera. IMO The Nano+ has the superior camera. The Nano has better transmission than the Mini 3, proven over and over. I love the Mini 3 with the Plus battery for the long flight time. IMO your DJI rose colored glasses skews your review.

[@londenard]

With all due respect, it's no secret that the Nano+ has several issues and still hasn't gotten all of its promised features a year later. Autel fans have the rosiest rose colored when it comes to the Nano+. You all want to focus on the one or two slight improvements the Nano+ offers and ignore the glaring shortcomings. Not to mention that, up until a few weeks ago, the Nano+ cost around twice the Mini 3 Pro. Besides, he literally said both transmission systems were good. He prefers O3, you prefer Autel's system, cool. If you want to ignore the absolute shit show of Dynamic Track and the other problems that have plagued the Nano+ since it's release, that's fine but to question someone else's integrity because you don't like his conclusions is ridiculous. Any objective person with zero prior knowledge of the two platforms would reach the same conclusion if presented with these facts. Period. Autel has historically produced drones ostensibly a half step "better" in a category or two, than a current DJI product, for more money, only to be beaten shortly after by the next DJI example that typically costs less money. Examples around. Phantom 3- Autel XStar Premium- Phantom 4/Pro- Autel going out of business for a time. Mavic Pro- Autel Evo- Mavic 2 Pro- Evo 2 Pro- Mavic 3. Mini- nothing- Mini 2- Nano+- Mini 3 Pro. Air 2- nothing- Air 2s- Autel Lite+- Mavic 3 Classic- (also Air 3 in April). Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual- Evo 2 Enterprise Dual- Mavic 2 Enterprise Advance- nothing- Mavic 3 Enterprise/Thermal. Etc, etc, etc.

[@ozstrayapanoramas8610]

@@londenard Your response back to this viewers opinion, is an over the top continuous rant & full of hypocrisy. And given the content you've responded with, to say you're not a DJI fanboy is comical.

[@londenard]

@ssb73q He also mentioned there are periodic sales. The MSRP on the Nano+ is $950. Although just a few weeks ago it was a lot more than that! Some guys dropped almost $1500 on a Nano+ kit. Even so, you are doing exactly what I said, you're cherry picking specific items to avoid the overall facts. You even mentioned "low light"... I've routinely given nod to the potential the Nano+ might have in low light. However, none of you guys will acknowledge that the Mini 3 Pro is superior in basically every other way. Regardless of what a bunch of name calling pieces of trash have to say, I'm not a "fan boy" of any kind, other than a fan of what works best. I guarantee you that if Autel made a superior drone to DJI, I would be the first in line to buy it. I don't give a fuck who makes my equipment or where it's made. I want the best overall equipment for the money. At one point, I owned the 3DR Solo, then the XStar Premium, and even the Yuneec Typhoon H+ because I thought they were the best. Right now, in my experience, DJI makes the best overall drones. Period. One company might have better Obstacle Avoidance. One may fly longer. One might even have a better camera. However, no one puts it all together the way DJI does. The Nano+ has sub par obstacle avoidance, it's missing or has incomplete features, it doesn't fly as long or as fast, it doesn't have near the camera capabilities of the Mini 3 Pro as far as modes or features go. There is a reason you own a Nano+ and still purchased a Mini 3 Pro isn't there? Or are you one of those types that buy several versions of basically the same drone just to be buying them?

[@marylandflyer5670]

You can buy the premium package Nano+ any day of the week for $600 or less these days.

[@dronescoVKE]

The Autel Fly more combo cost me 703€. So the price really goes in favor of the Nano+.

[@DRONIXAR]

Autel has better image performance, looks better 🎉

[@SkyWalker-wj9bq]

The performance of the drone itself is a minor factor to consider. The whole reason to choose Autel is GEO ZONE-free and protected privacy. If you are a professional pilot, you cannot trust the DJI drone. DJI drones often fail to fly due to the errors of the GEO ZONE server. You will lose business. DJI drone emits the pilots' location by AeroScope, which increases the possibility to be involved in trouble with people who hate drones.

[@Matanumi]

That's exactly why you buy and bring autel as a backup.... but never fully rely on one as your primary quad. who's to say Autel doesn't take your info as well? Yeah autels flight logs don't take pictures for reference but I think this matters very little compared to the big deal that people make it out to be. Only people who pay for aeroscope can use it.... not some random karens- that shits expensive! And people do dumb things with dji drones so you have to understand why LE and ATC would have it. There were mods to disable it but most recent updates on dji drones have patched that out However the geofencing is lame I'll give you that... autel has it in China though as well- I've seen it being introduced on some of their bigger quads as well- you can't getaway from it unless your under 249G with older drones

[@SkyWalker-wj9bq]

@@Matanumi Protected privacy means protection by yourself, not by Autel. You can use tools to block Autel's spyware. It's hard to crack DJI's firmware.

Good review, I wish you had given the little nano a bit more credit for 2.7k image transmission back to your phone, drone color options, and of course no restrictions, also some low light side-by-side would be nice too, but I'm guessing your experience flying it wasn't enjoyable.

There's always more you can do when making a comparison video. 2.7k transmission back to the controller was noted on my spec comparison, but it's not worth making a big deal about when it's only effective within ~1km.

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

Excellent observations Billy. I spent the better part of a year getting my Nano+ working like it should. One thing that you didn't mention is the power of the Mini 3 compared to the Nano+. Ascent and descent speeds in conjunction with horizontal flight are so much livelier on the Mini 3 Pro. I like both cameras, and some like the RYYB sensor on the Autel for low light. I seldom fly at night and the 60 fps and higher bit rate on the Mini 3 make it the better choice for my use case.

[@londenard]

How dare you!!! Hahaha!

[@IdahoQuadcopter]

@sub250Video Thank you for insulting my own, Billy and Lon's integrity, honestly, it's very unbecoming. I like my Nano+, just as Billy stated that he likes his. Maybe you didn't read my entire comment. The Nano+ RYYB sensor works great in low light scenarios, other than that, it's no better than the Mini 3 Pro camera. For my use case, the higher framerate and bitrate on the Mini Pro are more useful. If I flew at night it might be different. Further the Mini Pros flight characteristics and feature set are far superior to the little Autel drone. I like Autel, and look forward to spending some time with them at CES.

[@londenard]

@Sub250 aerial shots I don't call out Autel, I'm defending my friends who you have insulted. I don't give a fuck what brand drone you buy. Seriously, I don't. Besides, "Mr Engineer", there are several other purely objective measures that the Mini 3 Pro beats the Nano+. Even Autel's biggest fans admit that. You all constantly fall back on "low light footage" as if everyone in the world gives a damn about flying at night. I have REPEATEDLY given the Nano+ it's props for low light. Maybe your dumb ass should read my entire comment before running your mouth. Oh and up until now, I haven't insulted you in any way. I've tried to be even handed with you but since you want to tell lies about how I've "insulted you", the kids gloves are off. S far as the rest of the "Autel Psychos" go, they ALWAYS start with the name calling IMMEDIATELY every time someone doesn't agree with them. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I make a joke with one of my friends and they start in with the "fanboy" talk. Fan is short for fanatic and it describes someone who can't see the reality of a situation. Other than one or two metrics, one of which is purely subjective, the Mini 3 Pro is superior to the Nano+. Period. However, I'm going to endeavor to give you what you want. I'm close with several large KZbinrs and I'm going to try and convince them to never mention Autel again. At all. It's not worth all of this. Like I said before, you never see me, Billy, Ken, Marcus, etc on any of the Autel biased channels attacking you guys every time you say something positive about Autel. In fact, very few DJI pilots pay any attention to your channels. If you don't like our opinions, why don't you stay away and keep to your little Evo echo chambers. I can promise you, we won't ever bother you.

[@barryp8145]

Agree. Overall it’s just the better drone. Some people don’t like it, they are too emotionally attached to a drone or company.

[@MysticalDragon73]

@Sub250 aerial shots your hatred and bias against dji is readily apparent too. Actually speed and power of a drone IS important, especially when flying in windy conditions. I fly along rivers that get strong winds unexpectedly. Having a more powerful drone with better speed is fully important.

Excellent comparative analysis between the DJI Mini 3 Pro and the Autel Nano+. I agree with your assessment that the Mini 3 Pro is the better drone. I would suggest that one particular feature that you did not mention is the geofencing that is not present in Autel drones in comparison to all DJI drones. As a mechanical engineer here in Toronto, Canada as well as the owner of a drone photography, videography and inspection company on the side, I use my Autel EVO II Pro/8K as my backup drone. My main drone is my Mavic 3 with the RC Pro along with the Air 2S and the Mini 3 Pro with the RC for vertical photo and video as well as travelling. I should also mention that with the updated firmware from Autel, my EVO II Pro/8K flies quite similar to my Mavic 3.

For $629 on the purchase of the Auto Nano Plus Premium bundle and my first Autel drone I've had no issues with it at all. I have a Mavic Air 2 which I like a lot but the video on the Nano Plus looks great on Auto as I do not like to mess with the settings. I gets up in the air very fast , using a Samsung S20 Ultra Android phone. No disconnects and I usually fly LOS so no issues with ramge. I sold my Spark, Mavic Air and Mavic Pro. I love DJI's tech and products and feel the Autel shoots better footage for me. Firmware updates will continue to improve it. I really like the Mini 3 Pro remote controller and may pick it when the prices drop but for a $909 US Dollars, I would go with the Air 2S $899. Check out the video comparison at 8:50 in the video. The Nano Plus picks up way more detail in the trees than the Mini 3 Pro.

To Autel's credit, their video seems to be a bit wider than the Mini 3 Pro's. I have the M3P, and am picking up the wide/anamorphic lens to get wider shots. I guess another thing with the Mini 3 Pro is how many aftermarket accessories there are, ranging from camera, to props, landing gear, prop guards, cases, antenna mods, remote accessories, etc. So if people want to customize their M3P, they can go all out.

After the DJI Fan-Boy’s obvious omissions and flaws in the camera comparisons, let’s not forget that DJI’s nanny system is often more restrictive the actual FAA zones! Nano doesn’t have that big problem. Also, Fan-Boy’s comment that DJI Mini provides rubber landing pads under the fuselage and that was somehow better than Nano’s actual landing legs is such a fantasy benefit - Nano’s legs keep the motors more above LZ debris. And then the pressing down on the elevated fuselage as compared to the “more sturdy” Mini is not a fair or comparable demonstration. Overall, not a credible review.

[@Chinkdog1]

Thank you for the video even though it's a year old it helps a lot. I'm just getting into the drones.what about the mini 3 is the pluse that much better or just some small things

[@tcgreen11]

Its more usable and reliable, period. In every way. Geofence can suck but otherwise, M3P will be a far better experience

[@rbdrones6198]

Regarding pricing, I just bought a Nano Plus with a Pelican style case, four total batteries, gang charger and all standard equipment for $650. It was for me too good a deal to pass up. Also I am not a pro user.

[@Matanumi]

I bought same package used for the same price but in CAD.... which was a smokin deal. I enjoy it but it has its problems... I'll use it for night shooting and mini 2 for everything else

[@Matanumi]

The autel is actually cheaper now thanks to those sales.... Its still not very good though. Low light, no geofencing....and that's pretty much it. Mini 3 pro is better every other way Oh! Also I had a major crash where the battery on nano somehow slipped out.... thank God in front of me, on shoreline after my flight was done. Lost all the props and an OA sensor on the bottom- OA on bottom is fucked. Put mini 2 props on it. Never looked back. Its unreal how it still flies after that drop on beachrocks

[@hockeyfan124]

I have read comments on autel customer service is a big issue for autel pricing is a big sticking point for and autel if they really want to compete with DJI they really need to work on pricing and customer support

[@mylezzpurhourr]

Nice video but the DJI has more restrictions. I sense a bit too much credit given to DJI over autel

[@YellowRoseDrones]

I love my DJI Mini 3 Pro drone, especially for low light situations.

[@Matanumi]

That is the ONE area where nano kills the mini 3 pro

[@scottw595]

Plus for a drone that kinda fights the regulations, I have a suggestion not to color it bright orange.

[@Matanumi]

That's autels signature collar they've been making drones since the phantom 3 days (shoutouts to the xstar) It actually looks nice in the sunset- its visable during the day and is fitting for sunset shooting

Last time I checked Autel has not issued a Declaration of Compliance for the Nano+. This may be a problem for Nano owners next year. I'm guessing this may be effecting sales of the Nano.

The Evo 2 v3, Lite & Nano series are RID compliant & simply need a firmware update.

[@ChrisMitchells_FlyingCameras]

@@ozstrayapanoramas8610 I’m not convinced that the nano+ has the hardware necessary for rid already built in. If that’s the case then a firmware update will do the trick. If not, well that’s another issue. Either way I decided not to add the Nano to my drone fleet because of this issue.

[@DroneSyndrome]

@@ChrisMitchells_FlyingCamerasThe Nano+ is already RID compliant in Japan in the one of their last firmware upgrades they released, so it won’t be hard for them to add RID for the US in a future firmware upgrade.

[@clickphotography9422]

Clear choice for me has to be DJI Mini 3 Pro!!! It wins in every aspects I’m looking for a mini drone.

[@yinshantang]

The Canadian drone regulations are unnecessarily too stringent. It is definitely an overkill. Btw I’ll stay with dji, already part of the ecosystem

[@Radiusxe]

If DJI pays, then wins, it's easy, waste of time watching you.

[@londenard]

Um how do you think he got the Nano+?

[@DennisSchmitz]

DJI made the better, but more expensive drone. Nothing wrong here.

[@londenard]

@Dennis Schmitz Except the Nano+ was more expensive than the Mini 3 until the recent drastic discounts. It's still close with the Mini 3 Pro being $100 more and the Mini 3 coming in at $100 less. All three drones have their strengths and weaknesses. It's basically a pick your poison situation in my opinion.

[@mylezzpurhourr]

@@londenardstill worshipping DJI, I have one and the credit is not all there pal… it’s good but yall over hyped it and the DJI is way more expensive for less

@@mylezzpurhourr This was almost a year ago but what I said was 100% true... The Nano+ was way more expensive at launch than the Mini 3 Pro. Heck, the Air 3 was less than the Nano+... I mean the Mini 4 Pro is out now...

[@Andyrewk]

The Nanos camera seems like it’s Sharpening the image a lot more than the M3P, almost like a filter; while you can see really well it’s almost too much imho.

[@ozstrayapanoramas8610]

It's not sharpness, it's image detail.

I have DJI Mini 3 pro, it is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, not too mention it truly looks professional and very sophisticated. Autel Nano + on the other hand with its bright red color really looks like a toy!

[@floridaoutdooradventures8981]

@Sub250 aerial shots Who needs to see the drone? LOL... The built in screen is enough! Besides, DJI Mini 3 pro with its grey color and very low profile is much stealthier which is better!

[@floridaoutdooradventures8981]

@@petem.3719 On the contrary, Karen will bitch because she will see that red drone on the sky. DJI Mini 3 pro on the other is SUPER STEALTHY! It blends in with the background and people won't even hear it! So Karen will have NO IDEA!!! LOL...

[@petem.3719]

@floridaoutdooradventures8981 No. Karen can't see what color it is unless you're flying it too close to her anyway. On the ground, Karen is less threatened by something that looks like a toy than she is of something that looks like a 007 spy drone. The only advantage a dji has is that it's quieter. At the altitude I fly, noise is as irrelevant as the color.

[@DennisSchmitz]

The Autel video looks terrible to me. More over sharpened than phone footage even and tons of moire and color looks quite off with bad color separation. The DJI Mini 3 Pro even offers the option to turn both sharpening and noise reduction down to -2 and 10 bit recording, which makes it quite easy matching it to actual professional cameras.

[@londenard]

Hey if anyone is still thinking about getting a Nano+ There's a deal on the Premium Bundle for $565!!! A couple guys have bought it, so it's legit. I don't think the link will post but I'll try it as a reply.

[@sigitwiriandy]

mini 3 pro 🥰

[@vjresearch]

The DJI is a better drone, costs 2/3 the Nano+, but it is grounded due to the DJI Geofence even though it is an approved LAANC area. Getting the unlock code requires a COA letter from the FAA. Sad but that's a deal killer for me. Meanwhile I can fly the Autel, or Skydio for that matter, with LAANC approval just fine.

[@isaacking4555]

Trash review. Forgot to mention the handicapped software that’s super finicky on dji’s side and their bias support for android devices which btw barely work even then. They’re so busy pumping out new toys their engineers are struggling to keep up with software and hardware compatibility. Thus, rending the drones eventually useless hunks of low quality plastic. Try again with a less based review. Totally saw through the facade. We knew from the start of this video how hard you were going to ride dji
