The Autel Evo Nano+ Is GOOD and BAD (DJI KILLER??)

[@ozstrayapanoramas8610]

Different priorities for different people. Your priority seems to be convenience with packing the drone when walking/hiking. The Nano+ has it's quirks, but for image quality, it delivers outstanding results.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Totally agree, really solid little drone. The controller experience is way behind but other than that it's fantastic.

[@ozstrayapanoramas8610]

@@nomadhomad3685 I agree, Autel's primary issue is software, their hardware is excellent. Their software development team needs a huge improvement.

[@capeRCouple]

I said this since i reviewed the evo nano myself that i like this better than my dji mini 3,i purchased the evo nano standard version which is the 48mp version.The only thing i didn't like was that you can't dolly zoom and the speed could have been better but the camera is much better in my opinion and is what we look for when purchasing these drones.

[@kenweller2032]

It doesn't look like it would fare well in wet weather, something my inexpensive FIMI X8-SE excels at. I'm seriously considering this Autel though due to the camera and relative portability. Also, in the US currently, the Autel runs around $700 in the full package while the Mini 3 Pro Fly More is over $1000. It sounds like the Mini has better tracking and obstacle avoidance, and I could see the upward angle capable camera being useful, but the camera doesn't appear to be better imaging and the Autel might have better signal. I've also heard the Autel is the king of low light in micro drones.

[@Wren1]

Looks nice. Does the Autel require activation (ie. registering an account) or artificially limit you with "authorisation/geo zone", phone number requiring nonsense like DJI drones do? I don't want to ever have to connect the drone or its app to the internet for any reason, and I returned my Mini 2 because of that. I'm looking for a less obnoxious, less restrictive, more privacy friendly, standalone drone which still has a good camera.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

I just took mine out of the box and started using it, but not sure how that will be in the future.

[@Wren1]

@@ItsJonnyKeeley Thank you. I've just ordered one. I think DJI's hardware is nice, but their overreach really ruined the experience for me.

[@nomadhomad3685]

@@Wren1 considering the court's rulling on RiD, I feel this will change with Autel and all other consumer drones in the future

[@Wren1]

@@nomadhomad3685 From what I've read of that, RID would not apply to recreational drones that weighs less than 250g. Whatever the case, it won't apply to me since it's a US ruling and I'm moving back out of the US within the year.

Put the sticks behind in the screws holes, on antenna. Perfect for storage.

Leave the sticks on where they go. .

wow, never would have thought to do that, but i confirm that this works perfectly for the sticks as i own the evo lite +, but they use the same remote.

I need a drone that’s as good as the mini 3 but without geofencing for shtf situations.

[@panpyza]

Props for the banana for scale! :D

A classic

[@TechWithBruno]

Great video. Non-DJI drones are getting better and better!

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Thanks dude, they sure are!

[@Matanumi]

have you seen the mini 3 pro? this thing sets a whole new bar for mini drones

[@mmbodnar]

Hey thanks. I only tried out Autel early in 2022. The dynamic track should be available now being included in the October 2022 firmware update. Apparently the Autel Smart Controller SE will support the Nano+ later this year. I actually really appreciate the battery level indicators on the battery themselves and not having to use the drone or the charge hub jut to determine state of charge.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Thanks for the info mate! DJI also have their battery indicator on the battery.

[@mmbodnar]

@@ItsJonnyKeeley I guess I was comparing to the Mini drones from DJI

[@weseehowcommiegoogleis3770]

Autel dropped the ball with some outstanding tech.. They only HALF developed the Softwares.

[@eaojnr]

the disconnection issue isn't unique to the Nano, I also have it on the Evo II Pro V2 version. The Auto switch for the 2.4/5.8 doesn't seem to stat auto when you set it. I think Autel need to look at this and make sure the setting can be saved for the frequency selection. Perhaps also address the issue of the frequency switching reliability.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Yeah, I really need to be able to trust a drone otherwise I'm not going to fly long distance or take risks which means, less good shots.

[@bbrod68216]

You have to reverse the phone to controller cable, put the end in that has the little right angle and the top closes with no problem!

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Ah that’s good to know, thanks! 🙌

[@johnnywong1018]

Already got the mini 3. But I thought of getting this as a spare so I can fly places where dji has geo fencing.

[@weseehowcommiegoogleis3770]

Geofence, Why I wont use DJI/CCP.

[@2wheeladdict12]

I wish there was a way around this. Having a drone will be fun but really want it for shtf scenarios and with geofencing they could easily ground all the drones.

[@FlyingAce1016]

Autel Evo Nano Plus = NO GEO FENCING/NO REMOTE ID FORCED ON US LIKE DJI MINI 3 PRO WHEN IT DOESN"T REQUIRE IT BECAUSE ITS UNDER WEIGHT ETC YES this drone is better than the DJI mini 3 pro!

[@alainboyer7891]

j'ai les deux drones ...dji min 3 et nano + et pour l'instant la porté, la camera ( vraiement supérieur) et la transmission video du nano est plus fiable que mon dji mini 3 pro...espérons que dji va apporter les correctifs

[@fieldsportsireland]

As a dji affiliate I can confirm we stock autel too 😂

[@grahamniven]

An option is to fly without sticks (it's easier to get smooth control inputs) Autel have recently released a new smart controller. Mini 3 also charges by USB, but you need a 30w charger for best charging speeds.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

I thought about flying without sticks

[@LetsGoBrandon_]

The controller doesn't seem to allow clamping extension for tablets.. or does it?

[@danbelick]

It does not have that ability. I can't even put my iPad mini in it, haven't found an adapter perhaps someone will 3D print one and make it available...?

[@renerflyair9746]

I was looking at the DJI mini 3, mostly for the 48MP RAW stills. How does this one compare with that?

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

I can't really help, I haven't got much experience with images of either. I use my Air2s for images, and that's great (if that helps)

[@twiume4830]

It's not bad, but considering overall experience, get a mini 3 Pro with DJI RC controller.

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Yeah that controller is the thing.

[@MrRiverwind]

I prefer the Evo Nano due to both image quality and it's controller. It's not the more portable one, but I like feel it more comfortable like an Xbox gamepad. I decided buying it after seeing many comparisons with the Mini 3 Pro, and I'm very happy with it. Probably the signal is stronger too...wich is very important.

yeah but hows that battery and flight during wind?

Its strange that the controller is much more solid then the Autel Evo 2 Pro controller that folds.

Definitely not a DJI killer. I returned mine. It's flight dynamics is not even close to DJI. For me the difference was night, and day ! 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@gekoldronevideos]

@@Matanumi, I disagree with you about the wind handling of the Nano+. It can handle stronger winds just fine! For proof see the video on my YT channel flying the Nano+ in strong winds. And that was before all the updates. The Nano+ gets better and better in time with updates. Maybe the Mini 3 Pro that I also own can handle winds even better, but the Nano+ is certainly capable of handling stronger winds. I am no DJI or Autel fanboy😀Greetings from 🇳🇱

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

thx bro, any tips on getting them back out again?

[@1dgabel]

I have both the Nano + and the Mini 3. The Nano does have the better camera but when it comes to flying the Mini 3 just performs much better. Nano+ has better range than the Mini 3 but with the Standard battery the Mini Flys longer. I have to fly with the Nano+ obstacle sensors shut off because of all the false hits actually effect flying. Autel still has yet to deliver what the promised with this drone and the app and that in it's self is disappointing. The Mini 3 is the better value for the money. The camera advantage that the Nano+ has can be overcome in post edit. Now as a low light or night time drone then the Nano does have the better camera..

[@ItsJonnyKeeley]

Thanks for the insight dude, for me it’s that pro controller and the vertical camera!
