Autel Evo Nano drone – Is it really a DJI Mini 2 killer?

by 7 Comments

This review of the Autel Evo Nano has taken a little longer than I’d anticipated to complete due to the abysmal weather we’ve been having here in this part of Scotland over the last few weeks. But I think this has turned out to be a bit of a blessing in disguise.

You see, when the Autel Evo Nano first came to me, there were quite a few features missing or not fully working. Even after its general release and people could actually buy it, it still had a few issues. But now, most of them seem to have been resolved and I’ve been able to fly it to its current full potential now that the weather has perked back up.

Autel Evo Nano drone – First look and sample flight footage

by Leave a Comment

The Autel Evo Nano is one of several new recently announced drones from Autel which also includes the Evo Nano+, the Evo Lite and the Evo Lite+. We’ve recently received a pre-production Autel Evo Nano here at DIYP, so here’s what’s included in the Autel Evo Nano Premium Bundle kit and some of our early thoughts on flying the drone along with some sample footage so you can see what kind of quality you can expect.

The TL;DR version, though, is that this seems to be a pretty awesome little drone. Falling under 250g, it escapes many of the larger drone regulations around the world. It flies great and offers some impressive wind resistance performance. Once the firmware is complete with all of the promised features, this one’ll seriously give DJI a run for its money.

Autel announces two new series of drones including a tiny one to take on the DJI Mini

by Leave a Comment

Autel Robotics has announced two new series of drones, the EVO Lite and the EVO Nano, the latter of which is a sub-250g drone aimed at taking a share of the license-free market from DJI (and the recently announced Hubsan Zino Mini SE). Unlike the DJI and Hubsan offerings, though, the Nano comes with obstacle avoidance – a feature notably lacking in the other two.

The EVO Lite series is a little larger (more like a DJI Mavic), weighing around 820g, with the world’s first 4-axis gimbal, resolutions up to 50-megapixels, sensor sizes up to 1″ and video capabilities up to 6K at 30fps.
