Autel Evo 2 Pro vs Lite+ - Watch before you buy

[@ozstrayapanoramas8610]

Thanks for your very honest review. Probably another area to mention is the different apps - Sky app vs Explorer app, changing the camera settings is quite different to each other. No EV meter on Lite+.

[@808-Stat3]

I knew i forgot something lol. Well I am currently working on a direct comparison Video that will show each mode and app and everything side by side.

[@SW-Video]

Glad to see you feeling better and back in the saddle. Good summation of both drones. I didn't know the recent updates improved the flight controls for the E2 so I guess I need to do that soon. :)

[@808-Stat3]

Yes the new update worked wonders for me.

[@williamkleedehn9803]

I just bought the lite plus, it's my first drone and works very well for me (as a beginner). But I love your videos and keep my eyes and ears open , just in case!

[@808-Stat3]

Awesome, thank you!

[@glennalan]

Another excellent video 808! I heard that as well about the customer service . I'm thinking of buying the Evo 2 Pro Enterprise. So I called customer service today( about 3 p.m.) waited about 15- 20 mins.. every couple minutes they would tell me where my place in line was (👍) which was always one. As someone answered I went to turn off my cell phone speaker button off I freaking accidentally hung up!! Nooooooo!! So the point is it seem to be pretty good to my surprise.

[@808-Stat3]

Noooooooo .. all that waiting just to hang up hahahahaha . Classic

[@andrewbaerm.d.3984]

This was helpful. Someone from Autel told me that the Lite Plus is less subject to ground interference but I just purchased the Evo2 Pro V2 and have not opened the box. Now I will!

Hi, good video! IMO the EVO ll with the Explorer app missions is the gold standard for doing mapping. No other pro/consumer drone is as mission capable. I recently purchased the Nano+ and find it a great drone for doing videos since getting the latest firmware update. The Autel drones now rock.

[@808-Stat3]

I m hoping to have a nano+ someday but not sure when.

Great review. I just ordered the Evo 2 Pro V3 with SE controller.

[@808-Stat3]

Enjoy. I still fly my v1 My workhorse lol

[@numerounotg]

@captinamerica2147 it’s really great. I live in London and with autel there are no restrictions when it comes to flying. My DJI mini 3 pro won’t even take off. The range with the SE controller is crazy too, I have not had a single disconnect even when flying in the city over 3km from my location. I would highly recommend it.

[@808-Stat3]

@captinamerica2147 I like the rtk v3 . Very precise and reliable. Nothing for color grading though since it doesn't have 10bit like my v1 . No remorse here

[@numerounotg]

Its a shame theres no 10bit but the footage is still pretty good @@808-Stat3

[@essentialviewfinder]

It’s a shame at this point approaching 2025 that Autel doesn’t make controller se compatible with the newer and more popular lite and nano series. Is Autel afraid of profit and serving their customer base?

[@rcsaerialimaging777]

Great to see you still posting again man - I always watch. Hope the knee is better. All the best.

[@rcsaerialimaging777]

@808-State I use a tripod to fly as well. I also still use the Tripletek 7, but how I have reduced/removed the issue with the controller drain was to velcro a 20,000mah /74w usb battery pack I attach to the tripod and feed the controller with. I can run multiple batteries (5+) and never worry about the controller.

Been flying the V1 for over a year. Love the camera on it. I thought about getting the lite+ but bought an air 2s because it flies like my old air 2 which is the best flying drone I’ve ever owned, and the app seems more polished

Another good review comparison for that two drone, I have both but the 8k one, I didn't have a good experience with my lite +, I flew it about a month ago and I just lost connection about 400 m away, anyway I found it through my flight log,but it's only damage a couple propeller, anyway I change the propeller and recalibrate everything, when I try and fly it again, it's lift up about a foot then flip over so I recalibrate everything but did the same thing, so I send it back to my supplier which is still under warranty hopefully they find out the problem.

[@808-Stat3]

@VPAS I don't believe autel is working on a pro sumer drone since they announced that they'll focus on commercial products. The Mavic3pro is an excellent addition to any fleet. I added one at a later point and always bring it for specialty shots.

[@808-Stat3]

If only for recreational I probably would opt for the air 2 s. If going to possibly use it for part 107 I would take the evo lite+ .

[@dethtour]

I ended up getting the evo lite+ I already had the air. If I knew what I was getting myself into. I would have got the evo lite+ in the first place. The evo lite is probably the best drone you can buy for someone that wants something that can fly as well as a mavic but can record with better footage than an air without breaking the bank. I use the evo lite to record real-estate and events and it does everything you need. Later on if you feel you can make some serious money and are at the point you need something professional you can get an evo 2 or a mavic. I use the air to let people get some training or learning. But the evo lite makes me money on the side

[@johnmajka5404]

Man the price, on the Evo Lite + Premium Bundle has dropped extensively. I just bought the Lite + Premium Bundle, last month from Autel for $839 shipped. They are pretty much giving them away at that price. I already have 6 DJI drones, & I wasn't even looking for a new Drone, but when I seen that price, I couldn't resist. I've had it for 2 weeks now, but I haven't had the time to try it out yet. I'm getting the new Avata 2 fly more combo, delivered today. I have the rest of the week off, so I'm going to try them both out tomorrow. It's a shame Autel is getting out of the, consumer drone market. Who can afford the Autel Evo Max 4T or the new Alpha? Come on Autel, put out a Evo 3 Pro.

Autel Lite+ here 🇬🇷 Let's agree on something: Any foldable drone that has MANUAL APERTURE, belongs to the category of entry level pro, and is not only for hobby. What are these today? Evo2pro, evoLite +, Mavic2pro, Mavic 3. All have 10bit, log, etc. WHO DOES NOT HAVE? THE lite + !!! Have they promised it ??? Of course they are talking about 10bit A-Log !!! AUTEL itself is completely stupid in its own product !!! 8 months after its presentation !! If this is combined with the BAD Customer care, they are already on their way to hell !! With the latest update 1.3.27 I have a problem with the obstacle, IT WAS ACTIVATED AT NIGHT AT A HEIGHT OF 100 METERS !!!! Of course there was nothing up there ... TO ALL THE OTHER THAT YOU PRESENTED I AGREE.👍👌👋

[@rcsaerialimaging777]

I love my Autel EVO II Pro, but I cannot disagree with the statement above. Their Customer Service is HORRIBLE. I was using a Mavic 2 Pro and purchased my Autel EVO II Pro upon its initial release expecting the claims to be real, but only to find it taking almost 8 months later to live up to (and still barely) their claims they made on their drone. RE: CS - I put in a ticket three weeks ago - still have not heard back from them. I waited on hold in queue from position 8 to position 1, only to be sent to voice mail - TWICE. I too had obstacle issues above my drone and NOTHING was there, so its detecting entities unseen or their firmware was Fkd, I vote the later. DJI has marketshare for a reason...I still will use this drone until it is no more. Ive invested in too many batteries and accessories at this point.
