I am flying an Evo Lite Plus for the last month. While I love my Mavic Air 2 I am blown away with the 1 inch sensor. We are truly spoiled with brilliant drones.
The overheating thing you mention, I've taken my Mini 3 pro in August to Turkey and flown it around with no overheating issues in 36 + degrees, in fact I've never had an overheating issue to date. The only time I've noticed the case getting hot is during updates when the drone is static, but that's fairly acceptable as it's not designed to be on for long periods of time and not in the air...Great comparison, look forward to the next ones...
Nice that you offered to do another comparison between the two mini drones, and a job well done. In my view the Autel has the edge over the DJI because it's equipped with a fan, but in reality the price will determine most people's choice.
I'm drooling! I would absolutely love to own either one. These new drones are packed full of technology and are so incredibly capable. I'm so thankful that I could save and get the the DJI Mini 2 but it would be so nice to fly either of these
You will not be disappointed with the Mini2 I love mine . I got the mini3 pro for Christmas and I can say the camera is better and it is super fun to fly but the mini 2 is also a ton of fun
Great comparison review Cap I really appreciate when this is done it gives you a lot more info. As usual keep them coming Cap and I will keep watching👍
Interesting results 👍. Wondering if any other Mini 3 owners are getting constant "Low Visibility" cautions? I get them no matter the lighting condition! Bright noon hour sun, to sunset, to full cloud. Changing camera settings does not help either. I have already had to have my original unit replaced because the right front Obstacle avoidance sensor failed ( which DJI didn't cover under warranty, not amused 😡)
Wonder why DJI didn't cover it under warranty if the sensor failed. Did you carry the DJI refresh insurance. Either way that sensor fail should have nothing to do with the pilot.
I don't always comment but I really enjoy your channel. I have been asking many of the same questions about the mini 3. I look forward to the next video.
The Autel Nano+ & Lite series drones have a triple band operating frequency - 2.400-2.4835GHz，5.725-5.850GHz,5.150-5.250GHz. This may be the reason why the Nano+ won the transmission/signal test against the Mini 3.
Hi CAPT'N, nice job, but do you think the height flown affected the signals? I notice from your screen recordings the Mini3 was flown at H 1.5m (5ft) @ 7:03 - 7:53, and the Nano+ at 3.0m - 3:5m (10ft) @ 10:06 - 13:58 (2 times higher) I have both drones. They are practically equal in signal transmission.
I still fly the mini 2, because I don't have the money to buy either of these drones currently, but if I have the money to buy, I will still buy the mini 3 because after all it's more reliable
The tests with flying around the school is fast and easy. But as you shown, choosing the right path is crucial for a success or failure. Your first flight with Nano failed but the second was successful. So to draw to much/large conclusions from the test are more up to chance with drones as equal as these. I am not saying they are without use, as they are a great reminder of the short commings of radios communication. And with the Nano test showed, don't drive the drone without sight. Especially in directions without collision avoidence when you don't have vision. But if you really want to be more convinced about the test, you should make a couple of turns around the school and then get a success rate. Just a meter difference in the path can make a huge difference. That said, I love your tests and videos. Keep up the good work.
Awesome comparison test. I know that the DJI Mini 3 Pro is a phenomenal drone but I do have to give some credit to Autel when it comes to signal strength/connectivity and the cooling fan in both RC and Drone which keeps them from overheating. The Mini 3 doesn’t have a fan in either the drone or Smart RC-does it? Also, you did forget to mention that the Nano does have internal memory as well like the Mini 3. In regards to the prop noise, the Mini 3 wins for sure, it sounds nice and fairly quiet to the ears. Btw, I do hear that Master Airscrew is currently working on stealth props for the Autel Nano+ (and Mini 3) 🤫 so hopefully this will lower the noise pitch a tad on the Nano+. Not sure the Mini 3 needs it, as it already has a low noise pitch. Anywho, nice test once again Steve, thanks for sharing that with us. 👍🏻
Hi there! Thank you for the professional and thorough review - I really enjoyed it. I recently purchased the Mini 3 pro and I'm very disappointed with the video quality, it seems very soft especially when comparing it with the Autel nano+. Did Autel improve the nano+ since you make the video? I'm really interested in getting one over the Mini 3 pro Cheers from Canada
Yes, it's a fact! All the new Autel series (Nano and Lite) have 3 signal bands = 2.4, 5.2, 5.8, vs DJI, which has only 2 bands = 2.4, 5.8. Maybe that explains the stronger range ..
Unless you nave a spotter that is close enough to the pilot that they both can effectively communicate without walkie talkies, phones, etc. It's the same rules you follow when flying fpv as it's literally impossible to see your drone wearing googles lol
I also prefer longer videos.. When you test the active track with the Nano+, note what happens when you walk fast or run and what happens when it's tracking you with a bit of wind. Great content!
I use my DJI mini 3 to blow leaves off my roof. Great practice for flying and pretty fun too. Much better than climbing up on the roof with a back pack blower.
I’m thinking that you were very lucky with the autel nano, when you crashed into that shed and walked around to go get it and found that the props were still spinning. Quite often with an fpv drone if that were the case, you could have burnt out the esc or flight controller.
I believe the issue with your transmission test was not that the bushes grew it was literally the R/C car running around that most likely contributed to interference.
Thanks for the review you made my decision Autel Evo Nano Plus ! will be my next Drone I have the Original DJI Mini too many Restrictions with flying !! Thank You
Just a heads up to anyone wanting to buy a drone in the UK, the laws have changed now, so any drone under 250g (and is not a toy with a camera) still needs a operators ID Licence (£10 a year) but you don't need a flyer id (which is free anyway). Sounds a bit confusing. Drones above 250g need operator id (£10) and flyer id (free). So you could buy a heavier drone now since a flyer id is free, and either way if the weight is less/more than 250g, you still need a operator ID. Flyer ID's can be gained after gaining a operator ID, where there is a 40 question multiple choice test, with a pass mark of 30 to get a free flyer ID. If you are under 18, to get a operator ID, your parent/guardian needs to buy it on your behalf, and the child needs to have a flyer ID. Any more questions, feel free to reply, and I'll get back to you.
Great Video - I cant wait for the next one. I am looking to by my first drone before the the new year and have it narrowed down to these two. I'm really how they each do with tracking, waypoints and hyper lapse.
What would happen if you went around the Tree’s as apposed to in front of them bringing your drone closer to the building were the signal could be weaker??
I was leaning away from DJI for a few reasons, then looked up their flysafe map and realized there are only a few places in my area I would be allowed to use my property. Instantly moved to autel to have freedom to operate my own device and take care of my own safety.
I ran from DJI when I couldn't get a battery for my 2yr. Mavic Air anywhere online ? All 3 batteries were toast after 2 yrs..At least I got a few flights ?
@@deankruse2891 right, and I'm a better judge of that than DJI. I would agree with you if DJI's map had anything to do with safety or following the law. I can legally fly where I am but at a reduced max height, dji would entirely block me and make me get their permission granted in advance. I also don't want to go on vacation and find out DJI locked me out and I can't take footage, I can make sure I'm flying legally and safely with my autel drone.
Interesting that the Nano has better signal than Ocusync. I have the Nano Plus in Southern California where it gets hot, and the fan makes a difference.
I would not put that much in that test, and how it is set up. Remember he lost the Nano on the first ride. So, yes, the test is good to crudely sort out bad performers. And to remind people of the shortcomings of radio communication. But just adjusting the track just slightly are the difference beyween a successful and failed run in this case.
Steve I saw a video that said when the nano battery depletes it falls out of the sky instead of landing, have you run into that issue. Great video series, great job.
The drones software is way to intelligent to let you fly when the battery is low. If stubborn, you can override this but eventually the drone will land.
I know it's a long time since you published this video. I have one question I never found the answer in any video. Does the Autel drone also have hight limitations same Dji. I like to fly near mountains and find it annoying if I can't look over the top because they are higher than 500 m. I also learned to appreciate a drone which doesn't overheat. I lost and never found my mini3pro because it shut down and I couldn't make it blink and make sounds. I hope you know the answer to my questions. I love your channel.
@@keytiger7 Mini 3 more realistic video/photos during the day. Mini 3 also better in wind. Also does vertical (tictoc) video. Also more stable hover. Also has built in FPV screen option. Also many more quickshots/mastershots. Also better obstacle avoudance. Also less noise ie. more inconspicuous. Also costs less. PS. Autel is scrambling to sell more drones. Now offering up to 25% discounts. PPS. Only two reasons to buy the nano+. 1. For low light/night video. 2. Less NFZ (almost no restrictions). Edited: Nano+ also has better FPV connectivity/range.
"Wanted to wait until active track was added!" Proceeds to not test active track in this video. 🤣 Just giving you a hard time. Love your reviews, so thank you for taking the time to do things right.
@@Matanumi I know, I'm sure he didn't want to get the drones out, shoot a bit of video for a comparison, then do it again when this update came out, only to find out the update made changes that rendered the earlier work useless. And in editing the active track didn't make sense for the first video. I get the work flow, but still thought it funny enough to poke at it a bit. I honestly appreciate his reviews a lot.
As noted at the start of the vid, much footage was recorded before the release of dynamic track. Dynamic track was the last thing recorded. The plan is to squish all the comparisons into a few vids which means much will be left out.
Late to the party with this conme t, but the vertical camera orientation and 80° upward tilt is why the mini 3 pro is my go-to air camera for now (video and stills). As soon as Autel matches these two features I'll jump back over (had the evo 6k before, a pile of unfinished junk) The main thing for me, that Autel has over dji is the lack of geofencing.
You mean a new model? They have the NANO+ and lesser NANO, so I can't see them launching anything in 2023 unless they make an even lower cost model, or the opposite, a more pro model.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I see. Been out of the drone game for a while so not aware of the product cycles. Back when I got the Phantom 3 seemed a new drone every couple of months by dji
I like the sound of the DJI propellers better but it not having a fan and over heating isn’t great if you want to shoot TikTok videos from a table. Might want to bring an ice 🧊 pack to lay under the drone. Very interested to learn about active track compared to how well the system works on the hubsan Zino SE. that drone is so cheap by comparison and the active track is phenomenal! #stayepic
It would be interesting to do the same test using the DJI RC Pro Controller. Since it has external antenna’s. I’m wondering if there’s a significant improvement in functionality? Great job on your part in showing the features of each drone!
It will probably improve with an external antenna in these extreme cases. But so will also where you fligh, just a meter per two could be the difference between success and failure. Remember the same Nano and transfer failed om first flight and success on second flight. So, you should really make a couple of flights to even out the odds of flying the right, optimal track, or on a failure track. That said, it is a hard tack för radios to transmit and recieve, so it will show the strength of drone radio systems. The method has some questions though. 😎😉
19:34 Autel does not have "crash protection" mechanism. This is one of the reasons DJI still remains at the top of personal drone manufacturer on the world.
I’ve seen enough, I like the camera on the nano, it’s cheaper, the fact autel actually sells a fly more bundle that includes a drone with a controller is enough for me. I really don’t like the way DJI is packaging their stuff so much now. The mini 3 and that Avata set ups were not so good. You get much more value for your money with autel.
I want a nano plus very much, I keep seeing them on sale in the states, I’m trying to save up for a bundle with extra batteries and charging hub. I’ve watched this video like 4 times and your other nano plus vids at least twice each. Someday I will have a nano plus, can’t wait!
O Nano está impressionando muito, nesses testes de atravessar barreiras físicas.. Podia fazer a adaptação, que põe as antenas do dji RC pra fora, e refazer o teste?
Please note: bottom sensors in these mini drones that read height are very inaccurate when above 1 meter. Watch Part 3 to see the same test run with the Mini 3 and Mini 2.
Cap, the penetration test is not really penetration, at the gigahertz level signal does not penetrate... what the drone might get is signals that bounces somewhere.. sometimes you are better off pointing the remote somwhere else instead of directly to where the drone is. It might propagate by boucing somewhere else.
Interesting that the DJI RC Pro remote has external antennas, but the Mini 3 Pro remote has built-in antennas. I wonder if that's hurt its performance?
@@rzu7120 Yes, in tests, it is better for connection purposes than the remote with integrated display. However, the popular remote sold is the one with the display.
I like that the mini 3 has some onboard storage. But the worst feature are the three letters on top, DJI. I don't think I can buy another DJI product after my mavic 1 and Inspire being locked and unable to take off in controlled airspace after entering my FAA clearance info. I don't need the chinese controlling the drone I own.
autel is also a Chinese company's drone. 90% of the world's drones are Chinese companies. Let me tell you a fact, China's CATL is the world's largest battery supplier, it not only supplies the main battery supplier of drones, Also Tesla's main battery supplier. So you can't avoid Chinese products.
@@windcold4532 I know Autel is chinese. Did I say I'm avoidding chinese drones? Nope. The reason I'm avoiding DJI is because they take control of MY drone. That was my point. I don't need anyone, chinese or otherwise, controlling my drone.
151 / 5.000 Übersetzungsergebnisse 👍 Great comparison! I'll enjoy it on the big 4K TV tonight. I just received and set up my DJI Mini 3Pro (RC Controller). 😋

Thanks, Captain another great review just wish they had installed antennas on the DJI RC the mini 3 is a fantastic drone.
Fair enough. My same sentiments. Good review. I’m glad your doing more parts. 👍😎

Late to the party with this conme t, but the vertical camera orientation and 80° upward tilt is why the mini 3 pro is my go-to air camera for now (video and stills). As soon as Autel matches these two features I'll jump back over (had the evo 6k before, a pile of unfinished junk) The main thing for me, that Autel has over dji is the lack of geofencing.
Ótimo teste Capitão, realmente o Nano está perdendo feio para o Mini 3, o active track então, Mini 3 ganha de 10 à 0 ....Valeu...!!!!
The nano plus video quality kills the mini
3and at lowlight the mini 3 doesn't stand a chance nor does te 2300 dollar mavic 3.,
Any idea when Autel will release their next sub250 drone?
You mean a new model? They have the NANO+ and lesser NANO, so I can't see them launching anything in 2023 unless they make an even lower cost model, or the opposite, a more pro model.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I see. Been out of the drone game for a while so not aware of the product cycles. Back when I got the Phantom 3 seemed a new drone every couple of months by dji
Nice and loving the new intro 🎉
Hope that autel will make a drone that same feature with dji mini 3 pro
I like the sound of the DJI propellers better but it not having a fan and over heating isn’t great if you want to shoot TikTok videos from a table. Might want to bring an ice 🧊 pack to lay under the drone. Very interested to learn about active track compared to how well the system works on the hubsan Zino SE. that drone is so cheap by comparison and the active track is phenomenal! #stayepic
Luckily there was no water or ice under the Nano when it crashed.
Enjoy the week
It would be interesting to do the same test using the DJI RC Pro Controller. Since it has external antenna’s. I’m wondering if there’s a significant improvement in functionality?
Great job on your part in showing the features of each drone!
It will probably improve with an external antenna in these extreme cases.
But so will also where you fligh, just a meter per two could be the difference between success and failure.
Remember the same Nano and transfer failed om first flight and success on second flight.
So, you should really make a couple of flights to even out the odds of flying the right, optimal track, or on a failure track.
That said, it is a hard tack för radios to transmit and recieve, so it will show the strength of drone radio systems. The method has some questions though. 😎😉
19:34 Autel does not have "crash protection" mechanism. This is one of the reasons DJI still remains at the top of personal drone manufacturer on the world.
I’ve seen enough, I like the camera on the nano, it’s cheaper, the fact autel actually sells a fly more bundle that includes a drone with a controller is enough for me. I really don’t like the way DJI is packaging their stuff so much now. The mini 3 and that Avata set ups were not so good. You get much more value for your money with autel.
I want a nano plus very much, I keep seeing them on sale in the states, I’m trying to save up for a bundle with extra batteries and charging hub. I’ve watched this video like 4 times and your other nano plus vids at least twice each. Someday I will have a nano plus, can’t wait!
PS, The Video Opening was "Epic" (They are very Movie / Cinematic!)
Thank you
this is great
O Nano está impressionando muito, nesses testes de atravessar barreiras físicas.. Podia fazer a adaptação, que põe as antenas do dji RC pra fora, e refazer o teste?
When the mini signal started to drop altitude was 1.5m. When the nano glitched altitude was 3.5m. Steve, can you double check this please.
Please note: bottom sensors in these mini drones that read height are very inaccurate when above 1 meter. Watch Part 3 to see the same test run with the Mini 3 and Mini 2.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Will do. Thanks.
@@DavidJamesoutdoor-furniture check the guy that flew the Mini 3 pro for more than 11 km (6.8 miles)
Wished the m3 has the mini2 range
Lets go Captain!
nice video is the meteor 75 good for freestyle beginner? or maybe the cetus x? if u reply your the best
Beginners should stick with the CETUS X
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 but i am not a very beginner i am a beginner to freestyle i had 2 drones before
@@ivardeweerd7273 If all you have flown is camera GPS drones, then you are a beginner to the FPV hobby (a very different hobby).
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 oh ok thnx so mutch
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 is it good for freestyle learning? and thnx so much for commenting i never expected it.
Cap, the penetration test is not really penetration, at the gigahertz level signal does not penetrate... what the drone might get is signals that bounces somewhere.. sometimes you are better off pointing the remote somwhere else instead of directly to where the drone is. It might propagate by boucing somewhere else.
By doing the tests the same for both drones, the results become more realistic for viewers (comparing apples to apples)
I'm nor really neutral because i love DJI so much.
As one expects, classical classy analysis🙃.
Thank you
@@CAPTAINDRONE798
WELCOME anytime.
Interesting that the DJI RC Pro remote has external antennas, but the Mini 3 Pro remote has built-in antennas. I wonder if that's hurt its performance?
There was no DJI RC Pro in this video. The controller with the integrated display is the DJI RC.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Yes, I know. I own an RC Pro. I was just wondering if the signal is better on the unit with external antennas.
@@rzu7120 Yes, in tests, it is better for connection purposes than the remote with integrated display. However, the popular remote sold is the one with the display.
What about ease of use with nd filters?
Both are idiot proof in that regard
Have you tried the range test for the Mini 3 Pro with the RC N1 controller? Since it has external antennas it may do better.
You get pretty much the same results as a range test of the MINI 2
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks for your reply, it was helpful.
I prefer the Autel Dragonfish
Mini 3 classic
Very cool 😎
I like that the mini 3 has some onboard storage. But the worst feature are the three letters on top, DJI. I don't think I can buy another DJI product after my mavic 1 and Inspire being locked and unable to take off in controlled airspace after entering my FAA clearance info.
I don't need the chinese controlling the drone I own.
autel is also a Chinese company's drone. 90% of the world's drones are Chinese companies. Let me tell you a fact, China's CATL is the world's largest battery supplier, it not only supplies the main battery supplier of drones, Also Tesla's main battery supplier. So you can't avoid Chinese products.
The FAA is a US government requirement for DJI, which DJI does not want to do, but must comply with.
@@windcold4532 I know Autel is chinese. Did I say I'm avoidding chinese drones? Nope. The reason I'm avoiding DJI is because they take control of MY drone. That was my point. I don't need anyone, chinese or otherwise, controlling my drone.
@@windcold4532 Yeah, I know. Does the FAA require them to lock my drone out? Nope. That's my issue. Try reading again.

👍 Great comparison! I'll enjoy it on the big 4K TV tonight. I just received and set up my DJI Mini 3Pro (RC Controller). 😋
What happened to the optical avoidance go round on M3Pro?
