I have been waiting for you to make this video. I'd love to support Autel. Your information and B-role is freaking great! Thanks man!

[mosesperez]

Can you please make an EVO lite + beginners guide 🙏🏽 like you did with the DJI Air2s. It was such an awesome video I learned a lot

[DroneStories]

1st flight yesterday. First the "negative": 1. No histogram, when I'm in pro mode, I do not know the ev and therefore how dark the shot is.
2.Confusing application.
3. No log,
4. The comments about the sticks of the rc, and the propellers, are absolutely correct.
5. Difficult to install and remove the battery.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST EXCELLENT! Huge impression the NIGHT SHOTS. It's beyond imagination!
The overall quality of the camera leaves you speechless! Autel Lite+ even as it is at the moment (it needs a lot of work) is the real king!!
If Autel makes the necessary corrections soon, THE ENTIRE DJI SERIES (AIR2S, MAVIC3) is PAST...

Excellent Comparison Review Video Jeven! Thank You.

[SCAerialsSteveCarpenter]

Jeven, thank you for your excellent review and comment on the Autel Lite+. Your video came up as a suggestion since I just purchased this drone. I will definitely come back to rewatch after I review the Lite+_ premium bundle. I laughed while watching this video with flights over Dana Point Harbor since I only live 1 1/2 miles from there. It was nice to see creators flying in our local surroundings. Thank you, and will check out your other videos on the Autel Lite+. I wondered why I hadn't received notifications from your channel; YT had unsub'd me. Now Fixed. Take Care!

I enjoyed the video. have a great time.

I decided to go with the Autel evo lite+ over the 2S because it has no geofencing, better camera and no problem acquiring satélites. Also the price is $1649 in a lot of places for the premium bundle. I also received a 3% discount because I put the drone in the cart and didn’t complete the purchase so as an incentive to complete the purchase I received a 24 hour offer of the discount and free shipping. I hope that future software upgrades just make this drone better. BTW…thanks for all the instructional videos you put out. They are an immense help. The story telling videos are awesome.

[hoboi]

Good info, you definitely know your specs. Thank you sir for this

[daygeckoarthawaii]

I just ordered one of these just to get rid of geofencing with DJI. DJI restricts flight in places that aren't really restricted in the US. Otherwise I would have gone with the Mavic 3 to get the 3 cameras. BTW I've never had DJI charging work with my iPhones

[djpsycosmiley]

Thanks for the data; I'm researching a new drone.

[HiethGeorge]

Ohhh what export format is this video love plus cracking review and real honest still in a dilemma of weather to upgrade my Mavic 2 Pro or not bother yet !

[CaminoAir]

As an Air 2s owner, the images from the Lite+ that I've been seeing on reviews do look better (particularly low light and also shadowed areas in daylight), but overall the design, build quality and functionality of the Air 2s appear to be superior. As for night photography/filming, the Lite + is far, far superior.

[RonaldBrown]

Interesting comparison between these three advanced camera drones.. Each one having pro's and con's. The Air 2s is better priced than the rest, the Lite+ is better at night photography and the Mavic 3 is more full featured. And I've had the Mavic 3 since November and had many flights so far, and I average between 30 to 35 minutes of flight time. And I live in cold and winter climate at the Jersey Shore in the winter months. Another Great video Jeven, and thanks for sharing.

[WiljanWiljan]

Thanks for this great video! I wonder if the range for this drone is the same in Europe?

[BMacksAerialVisuals]

Very well thought out presentation with a few points I was not aware of. Good one, Jevon. I've had the Evo 1. I own the Air 2S. Right now it is my go-to drone. I really can't afford the Mavic 3. And I'm not sure I would want it anyway considering all the bad press it gets. I have had my eye on the Autel Evo Lite + for a while now. One of the cons you mentioned was no d-log or H265. Not as important to me. The d-log in the Evo 1, I thought, was terrible. And I would be using the Lite + mostly for low-light to urban darkness for most of it's uses. Still not quite sold on it, though, as the Air 2S is killing it for me at night.

[harrishuntTV]

Great review! It's either the Air2S or Lite+ for me though the Lite+ missing the dlog profile is a big turnoff!

[vv-o-l-f]

I have an air2s and I absolutely love it although it’s my first drone ever . I just wish I had stuff to actually film and knew more about color grading.

[MayurMahapatraFilms]

I would always choose air 2s over the Aurelius one.. only because of the Log profile.. currently using mavic air 2..

[andreayandreyrodriguez]

Awesome video! I see that there's no POI/Smart Orbit flight mode on the Autel drone but I see it has a Hyperlapse option with Manual and Orbit mode. While on Hyperlapse-Orbit mode - is the Autel capable or taking 100-150 photos circling around an object? Also, are the photos geo-tagged? I'm a surveyor and we need to be able to capture approx 200-300 geo-tagged photos around structures in order to create a 3D render on a separate software - the software supports any drone that takes geo-tagged imagery.
