Hi Ken & 808 Great Video Comparison . The Autel Evo II 6k pro colours for me were much nicer than the Dji Mavic 3 . I fly the Air 2s & the Evo II 6k . My experience has been I much prefer the quality of video from the Evo II 6k. This video for me Just helps me confirm what I have already seen between the Air 2s & Evo II 6k in terms of colour & quality. A bit disappointing for the Mavic 3. Once again really enjoyed the comparison & thanks Guys.

Evo 2 won my eye is like saying yes. See colors that M3 doesn't show....Autel company over all is more responsive to issues when bird needs attention. I like it when a company backs up a customer. Honestly if it's that close a comparison I would choose Evo 2. Thanks again Ken. Aloha

Pretty sweet seeing ya'll boys do a collab together!! Great comparisons here! Cheers!

I have Mavic 3, I think the lens is cheap and small for m43. Trees and greeneries aren't sharp and it's less Sharp than my old Mavic 2. Go test it.

Nice. Good video bro. I freakin love that beach. Keep em coming brother

Both compared well in post but I do notice a bit more detail in the darks and shadows on the Evo 2 Pro. This could be due the exposure used or contrast added in post but I do notice this in all of the comparisons.

Great colab guys! We need more of these! The blind comparison was a good intro. I picked the M3P most times but not 100%. I'd certainly say it's REALLY close and agree with the personal preference comments. For me, personally, the 4/3 sensor is what carries the decision but no Geo-fencing is so attractive.

Great comparison of these two drones, and I loved the location filming at the beach in Hawaii. And it was cool that you were able to do a collaboration video 808-State. Thanks for sharing.

That was a interesting comparison video. I enjoyed the back and forth between you and 808. Thanks! 😎👍

Droneworks has the Evo 2 Pro listed at $1795, not $1600. I agree with many of your comments. It is far easier to add sharpness in post than it is to take it away. And it is far easier to try to add color/saturation to a natural looking image in post than it is to try to lower a specific hue that is over powering.

Thanks for doing the comparison. My E2P v1 does not have a horizon problem. I haven't noticed a magenta shift, either. Also, I always dial back the sharpness in the Style menu (-2 or -3). The larger sensor on the M3 might be more noticeable in low light. The higher bit rate of the M3 might help with very busy, fast moving scenes (provided you can produce the video at the higher bit rate). Have fun in Hawai'i with 808.

Ahh yeah!! Thanks bro!! I was hoping you’d make this video!

Nice!!! Very cool review and breakdown... the colors look pretty damb good on the Mavic. I would have to agree on that... but I may just fly my Evo until the props stop turning... thanks man Love it!!! Waz up 808!!!

Excellent comparison and what we are keen to know. I have an E2P and love it although Autel should just fix the LUT or the color science in the camera. I use Davinci Resolve and I recently stopped using the Autel LUT and now I just import and apply a saved white balance node and another node that adds 30% color and a 3rd node for contrast etc. The whole process takes seconds per shot and it is a great improvement over the standard Autel LUT.

Great collab. We have those frogs in Puerto Rico and call them coqui 🐸

I love my evo 2 pro. Best drone I've owned. Their both good drones

The fact is that Mavic 3 has lower video definition than the Evo 2 pro. Video definition is the most important factor about any video or photography. Watching in a 4K tv Evo looks better. Remember they could fix any issues via software update. I think evo is a better drone in many ways. It has better definition. So when you have to apply sharpening to a video that is a HUGE negative thing about any cameras. I always recommend filming with a ND filter at day time, use a white balance card. I made one! get your free copy and use evetime you fly and you will get perfect colors with any drones.

Having been screwed by DJI geofencing several times, I'd personally go with the Evo 2. However clients who are set in their DJI ways will have me buying a Mavic 3 at some point most likely. Can attest to the horizon tilt on the E2. My eyes aren't as keen as yours, but with the zoomed comparisons, the evo 2 looked better and doing mostly inspection work, zoom is a major factor.

Honestly it is a preference. Shame you still don't have the Evolve 2. Your video from that looked amazing! It would be interesting to see it compared to the Mavic 3. The Evolve's flight characteristics certainly need some updates, but the video you shot with it was stunning! Thanks for keeping it real.

Not everyone has an issue with the horizon on the E2P. Sure wish you had more sun during the time you flew and hope you did some night flying around some city or town lights while you were together on this project. We will soon be coming up on 2 years for the Evo 2. I hope the Evo 3 has a MFT cam and will fit on the E2 airframe. That would be really cool. Aloha.

You have to compare the Air2s mate. I'm on the fence with the cost of an Air2s combo or the Mavic 3 combo. Living in the toilet down under we don't get the Mavic Cini combo till mid-December. I want the Cini but can't wait as we still can't get the Mavic 3 anything till next week.

would be curious to see how the mavic 3 compares at night

They are both great but although more expensive i will go with the DJI but also i own the dji mavic 2 zoom.

Pretty minimal differences for the most part. With any gear there are weaknesses that you need to learn to work with depending on your needs.

I think that straight out of the camera, it is a toss-up as some looked better on each drone. However, I, and I suspect others have a question, (my fly more combo is arriving on Thursday) What does the smart controller offer that the standard controller with a Tripltek 8 doesn't have? I will either order the Tripltek or the smart controller next and need info that I am not finding anywhere.

Are you able to compare the DJI Air 3 to the latest Autel Evo 2 pro with the smart controller SE?

Thanks for the video .it helped me to choose to buy one . I'm going to buy Autel Evo 2 Pro.

Blind test it's was tie for most. A couple I picked evo ii. One I picked mavic 3. Evo ii on that one just looked dull like fog. Needed contrast or something. I'd def take evo ii. It's cheaper. Or Lite+ if it is every released lol. It also comes with the controller that gives u all the features not drone comes with this but oh u have to but $1,200 controller to get that feature. Also autel finally assembly in usa that's nice (though I don't think not one part is from us lmao)

Its a pre mature test, when did the vo 2 come out? at least a couple of years ago

I gotta say I do like that mavic 3 but the geofencing is always in the back of my mind... and really weighs enough to sway me to the Evo! What good is an awesome camera.... awesome drone.... if you can't get the damn thing off the ground! Just sayin... is there a hack for M3?? Ken would you do it?

Were the same luts used or the same colour grading settings used on both drones footages please? Neither stood out for me as amazing but im viewing on my note 10 and definitely no pro. But definitely a consumer.......

I have 3 new drones cji fpv, mavic 3 and mini 2 for places where it is prohibited to use in some places. ( I live in Canada snd much of my area is within areas that are within areas that are restricted. Are these good enough for real estate photography?

Good comparison

Personal preference, it’s the Mavic 3 for me. Prefer the natural colors.

What it does tell us is that the difference between these drone cameras is marginal. There is no compelling argument to buy one over the other. Different Luts & post editing will provide different results with colour/contrast on either drone. Hence why it does become so subjective. I have seen flight time tests & the time difference between these 2 drones also appears marginal. Tilted horizon - I just saw a KZread video yesterday with Mavic 3 having a tilted horizon, so I would question your comment stating the Mavic 3 never has a tilted horizon. Don't know what you guys are doing differently, but I very rarely have any tilted horizon issue with the Autel Evo 2 Pro. But it is surprising that the Evo 2 Pro is a rock solid competitor to the Mavic 3 given it is 2 year older technology. I would say if you don't want geofencing & want to save $500 dollars, you have your answer Autel Evo 2 Pro. If you want the latest generation drone, and budget is no issue, your also have your answer, Mavic 3.

I have been going back and forth for the last week between the Mavic 3 and the Evo II Pro. I'm relatively new to drones and I already own a DJI FPV. I selected it mostly for fun factor and it had features as a flying machine that I could grow into. I knew at some point I was going to want a good aerial photography drone but I was unable to make up mind what to buy until now. I reached the conclusion that the choice is mostly preference. I was leaning strongly to the Evo II Pro for the longest time because every video I have seen from that camera seems more detailed and pops more than the Mavic 3. Geofencing with DJI was initially a concern but given where I will be doing the overwhelming majority of my flying I seriously doubt it will ever be a problem. So for me I considered it a non-issue. Regarding video quality the choice was really a coin toss and I am convinced that I would be happy with what comes out of the camera on either drone. So I ordered a Mavic 3 this morning. It mostly came down to me being familiar with the DJI ecosystem and the firmware release earlier in the year addressed most of the concerns I had with the Mavic 3. Now I just need to order a case, a second battery, and a set of ND filters. I can get all of that and come in about $300 or so less than the Fly More Combo.

Well, for me the best one is ... My humble Mini SE which is here in my closet lol. Both of them look like a a dream to pilot.

Thanks for the comparison - still loving my EVO 2 Pro. This doesn't look like a meaningful update to the MP3 to me. I'm waiting for my EVO Nano + to ship - I cant wait to try that sucker out in the wild. Great job guy's.
