I’m happy Autel is releasing good quality drones in various sizes and across various price points. It keeps DJI on its toes which can only be a good thing for the industry.

Seems like a good trade off between no Geofence and better obstacle avoidance, plus a Variable aperture, over 10 bit color is a win for me.

Still a lot to improve on. But I appreciate that we have more options now.

I am writing it here, in the hope that Autel is watching your channel. I was ready to make the change from dji. The price difference (300-400 for lite + vs Air2S) would not be a big problem, since I would have variable aperture. BUT the lack of 10bit, and dlog, AT THIS PRICE LEVEL IS UNACCEPTABLE. Some companies seem to have the habit of shooting their feet with great success ...

It means a lot to hear how happy you are with this Drone!!! Man those colors pop... and the night is so clear... and the yaw motion with no tilt!!! Damb I hope they can bring that to the E2P... love the fiber arms... that looks sweet... Great Job Autel!!

Thanks Ken! Another year of great videos and shows! Looking forward to another year of more.

The first really good first look at the new Autel Lite series drones that were recently released and finally started shipping to people who pre-ordered. You answered a lot of questions I had about the Lite plus model, I wasn't aware that it didn't 10 bit color, or a LOG profile. But I happy to hear that it performed well for you, and that the camera is great. I might consider getting one the new Autel drones, but I'm going to study all the reviews first of all four models before making any decisions. Great job on this video, you got a good information out there.

Apart from this slick drone the grove you start with is so good . I love it

Looks like a winner Ken. Have a great New Year and many thanks for what you do for the drone community.

Great short review. Like your reviews - thank you!

That intro though!!! 🔥

Thank you for this, I know it’s an initial review, but it’s very well done and you covered everything I wanted to know. 🙏🏼

Thanks bro great review and packed with great info :) No blah, blah just honest facts. That's why I like this channel so much, Happy New years brother, looking forward to another updated review on this drone.

Thanks for the great videos, Ken. Love your work!!

The no geofencing, color tone, and quality has me impressed. The dynamic range and night quality looks good.

I have enjoyed your reviews and videos since before the Evo 1 was released. I know from owning that drone for almost 4 years now thet add a lot of stuff via firmware and software updates. They have 19 versions of the Autel Explorer App listed in the history in the App store. This Evo Light + looks like a great drone and I look forward to your other videos and thoughts on the Autel drone. Only thing that could have made this video more entertaining would have been to have someone mention Waypoints and Mission planning too you and it would have been epic to see the rant! LOL thanks for all your work and enjoyable videos you put out.

Thanks Ken, Happy New Year and Happy Flying!

Great info Ken, I can't wait until I get my hands on mine. Drone-Works is my go to for drones!!

The Intro Music is Killa Ken, that Bass was Pumpin. Great quick review for the Lite+. Yes we need that Update for the E2P which would make it amazing. Cant wait for you Nano+ review as well. Happy New Year Mate 👍👍

The build sounds great, carbon fiber arms, "kick-ass'". I gotta get one, for sure The low-light looked damn good.

Man, your audio is on point! Nice quality videos Ken.

Very informative, Ken. Thank you.

first impressions look great .really interested in both lite + and the nano +.lets hope to reach Ireland soon as we have one autel retailer .look forward to more videos .great video

Great Video Man ! Happy New Year !

Great review Ken! I agree, it's okay to have missing features but to not be able to shoot in dlog is kind of a big let down!

Great overview of the Lite plus. That night Footage looked pretty damn good. Thanks

I got mine 2 days ago and love it so far.

The video looked absolutely incredible. Holy crap!

I am glad you told me about droneworks I will buy from you

Well done as always

One reviewer I can actually trust

great video looks like my backyard when I lived in Florida with all that water.

Swear to god your film sets are the cleanest in the game!! Awesome review ken.

Found my passion for aerial photography with DJI. I don’t think I’ll be able to trust the others. I'm trying to keep an open mind and still watch this video.

Thank you for your first impressions about this drone! For me no 10 Bit is not so good, because I like to color grade my shots. But low light performance seems to be very nice. Your low light shots looks definitely amazing.

Good initial review man. I had to return my Evo 2 pro recently due to constant software issues. Might give autul a second shot with this one.

Amazing video like always.

Oh man, I am so excited my new nano + is ordered. I tried a few DJI drones, but I loathe the geo fencing! Thanks for the video--nice job!

Nice looking drone! I am looking forward to your review of the Nano! Thanks, Tom

I'm looking forward for the Nano + review. As for the Autel Lite + drone, I'm impressed with the built quality, flight and camera performance. I really do hope they can bring these changes to the Evo 2 Pro line.

I too was waiting for the Autel Evo Lite + camera performance. It's all fine and good with me , except, the controller, has no HDMI out, thus, no way to connect goggles to it AND, it is not certain yet that the Live Deck connects to it so, as much as i wanted this, I'm gonna have to pass, As a matter of fact, just yesterday, I spent my money on a A2S, that I can connect DJI goggles to it via the HDMI. Manufacturers should, make this option avalable from now on, IF they want to be able to capture a wider audience. With DJI's FPV introduction, lots of neophyte flyers, are now aware of FPV flying. FPV, even for recreational flyers, open a new and exciting world. You don't have to do acro, just enjoy the FPV view. Think about it, FPV flying, recreates what you would experience as a regular aircraft pilot. FPV give you the sensation of being there, in the cockpit, flying and looking about. I highly recommend it and think everyone ought to experience it.

Dam Good video! Looks like it might make a nice addition to my Drone family.

Been wanting to buy my first drone and was waiting to see the reviews of the Evo Lite and Nano. I have nothing against DJI except they've pretty much had a monopoly on the market and I would like to support the competition. It takes time/money to build good products so those who have purchased Autel's drones in the past have really help support Autel's rise and I'm excited to buy one. If they could produce a 100% made in America version I would be willing to pay the premium but either way it's a great product. Now I just need to decide between the Nano and Evo Lite.

Outstanding Review Ken 👍❤️it.

Nice review as always !!! I’m thinking to buy the nano + but will be great if you can do a review like this one. Take care bro and happy New Year 🎊

Dji needs competition and thankfully autel delivers finally. Thanks for the review.

Checking it out now

Mark Fisher is a good dude and you are also. It was very mature of you to apologize for the things that you said, both of you are very informative.

Looks great Ken , does it have waypoints ???!!!!! I kid I kid couldn’t resist ! Great video as always look forward to the footage and the Nano soon ! I have a plus on order from y’all :)

Nice, quick review! Anxiously awaiting review of the Nano+ by a YT veteran. I need a new travel drone that can handle some wind and would prefer USB-C charging to avoid the bulky brick of the Air 2S.

I thought this was gonna be a good one. I'm looking forward to your full review

Love the no BS of your talks, a little abrasiveness never killed anyone :) Shame about the lack of 10 bit, for many of us that makes this a no starter. I do wonder as time progresses if EVO will be forced to geofence like DJI. I have a feeling this is to prevent people from doing stupid stuff and an attempt to keep the drone business viable although it probably hurts DJI a bit. That's a nice gimbal cover there on your Air2s, I bought the same one, so much better than the original!

If this is what is in store for the Evo 3, I am excited.

Ken, you're the anti-hype hero. Really appreciate what you do. Keep it coming!

Nice Ken. I’ll have to check the prices . Love my Air2 S . So I’ll wait on your full No bulll shit review. Have a awesome & healthy new year.

order will be forthcoming...ordered

Support ken 🇫🇷🙌

Great....I've got the 6k pro, now I can get the junior model.

Good review buddy .. ''Interesting''

Hi Ken, I have the Nano + and it did come with the Lightning connector. Just for information purposes.

I love my Evo 640 T - might have to add one of these to my collection. I would stick with the orange color.

Love the video, I'm sold on this over chasing the Evo II Pro V2. How much wind was there at 6:38 when you're hovering?

We know you tell it like it is, Ken. This is looking promising from a company that's had many problems with multiple past releases.

Nice and honest review. I think Autel will be better than DJI in the next models if they continue like that. DJI needs to speed up

Very interesting, I'm diggin this drone alot so far over the mav 3 it went back just a clunky disappointment and I have alot of dji . Really excited about this one . Not a pro but love my drones......respect your opinion, thanks

Nice video! Can you confirm if the mission modes that the Evo2 Pro has have been removed from the Evo Lite Plus? I read somewhere they weren't going to support missions? This is a bit of a deal breaker for me :(

Ken, nice review. If I didn’t live in Oz I’d probably place an order with Droneworks.

oh ! Poor Mark ! Nice no nonsense review. Too bad about the lack of 10bit. I would have expected that on the Nano but why? Are they keeping for use on the EVO Pro III ?

Happy New Year Ken thanks for the review. Has all I need what's your take on the zooming capabilities?

Was wondering when thoughts on these would start trickling through. Thanks for your thoughts. I was thinking of getting one of these but to not have 10bit, that's a big oversight in my opinion, especially seeing as the Air 2s already had that and it's an older drone. The footage does look good, but loosing that post flexibility is disappointing. Thanks again!

Thanks Ken. Air2s question. Where can I get one of those full face clear gimbal covers for the A2S I saw in the video?

I'm wondering if you can print some kinda stick Holder Ken? Looking forward to the extensive review I mean in all seriousness if your liking it i am too lol #KeepFlyin & #StayUp

Impressive 🤔 I still love my Air2s I bought from #Droneworks 😉 Thanks for the video Ken!

Some great information there, thanks- it sounds as though Autel have risen to the challenge. 10 bit aside, I can't fathom out now why the Pro line has such an advantage any more - I am guessing they will replace the Evo 2 Pro soon with something to match the Mavic 3. I am a stills photographer (landscape) and so interested to see how this does in daylight for raw files.

thanks

Hey Ken- do you think it's possible for Autel to bring the flight characteristics over to the E2P, or is that way beyond any software update?

Good first look video

Great video & info! I am looking for a backup drone for my Mavic 2 Pro. I only need the following features: Great camera with Raw & AEB photos, and no geofencing. I only shoot real estate stills, no video. Any suggestions?

I'm impressed. Could there FINALLY be a NONE DJI DRONE that can fly in Philly..??? I Got to get my hands on one.... Great job.. 💙💙🤟🤟 Mikey

Love it! still waiting for the Nano Plus to decide. But love the fact of the extended flight time and the no geo-fence

Cool looking drone. If my drone needs weren’t already met with what I have I might have bought this one. I do like the size and capabilities. Little disappointing with the no 10 bit and long tho.

Man I'm having so many issues with my nano+ opened the box, upgraded firmware and it just connects to the camera but nothing else. If you talk to those guys during CES let them know 😀

Nice!! Glad Autel is starting to gain ground and challenge DJI

As soon as you showed the controller, I was like, “Yep.. just like the Skydio.. which is the same as a Parrot.”

Ken, what is on the front of your Air 2s? Great video as always!

Gimbal guard , works quite well too

Aside from form factor, 10-bit and interchangeable payloads, are there any major differences between the EVO Lite+ and EVO 2 PRO? Spec-wise, they seem almost identical. I have the EVO 2 PRO now, but the Lite+ seems to be capable of everything I need in a much smaller & lighter package. (I use it for photography and rarely shoot LOG when I do video)

First air2 s army out

Looks good, is this best of non DJI under $1500??? think I'm still looking for Evo Nano + budget though... doing a comparison between those two?

Would ND filters I already have for the Evo 2 Pro work on the Evo Lite+? Thanks for the videos!

What about photography? I want it for Ariel photos. How is the dynamic range? How do they compare to the mavic line?

Could you make comprasion 1:1 to air2s in all camera aspects. Can you tell something about night capabilties of this two drones?

First impression: not that impressed/impressive. I’d rather invest in DJI Air 2S or if I’m feeling extra, I’d definitely go for the Mavic 3!!!

Hi Ken, when do you think the average will be able to purchase one of these? Mid January?

If I bought this thing today, will I have to buy some add on extra when they implement this fcc ID thing? is it an update?

RYYB sensor 😍.. That's why they achieve up to 64k ISO.. Pricing in Europe(Amazon 1.800 Euro 😭😕)

Liked the NASA TShirt

excelente equipo felicitaciones que precio tiene y con quien lo puedo comprar gracias

I'm wondering about filters 🙏🏽any available?

What you said at 11:42 is alarming. I asked an Autel representative if it shoots 10 bit 422, and they said that it does. Yet when it's shipped, it doesn't... Perhaps in a firmware update or something like that it will receive it, but the Air 2S has 10 bit color for a similar price. If Autel doesn't change it... I'm not sure what I'll do. I really don't want to go back to DJI but I can't justify paying this much for a drone that doesn't shoot 10 bit color. I love my Evo 1 but I need to find a replacement soon. I hope Autel can figure this outand give it what it should have.
