For New Perspectives and Opportunities

About the product

Autel EVO Lite series is a series of high-tech semi-pro­fes­sion­al medi­um-sized con­sumer drones (EVO Lite / EVO Lite +) from Autel Robot­ics that meet all the trends of a rapid­ly devel­op­ing hob­by, direct and, in fact, the only seri­ous com­peti­tors to the unique DJI Mav­ic Air 2 (direct com­peti­tor to EVO Lite) and DJI AIR 2S (direct com­peti­tor to EVO Lite+). Both machines have, with­out exag­ger­a­tion, pow­er­ful poten­tial both in film­ing and in flight, and also have a num­ber of dis­tinc­tive fea­tures that make Autel drones unlike any UAV in their niche. As usu­al, let’s start with the key fea­tures of both drones.

Below you will find the key infor­ma­tion of Autel EVO Lite (+) which will allow you to learn more about the drone and make your right choice.

Drone Comparison Chart

For those who don’t have time to read all the mate­r­i­al, we sug­gest tak­ing a look at our com­par­i­son table, where you can quick­ly com­pare both ver­sions in key para­me­ters with each oth­er, as well as with their only com­peti­tors DJI AIR 2S and DJI Mav­ic Air 2.

Color

Unlike the four col­ors of the EVO Nano series, the EVO Lite series for some rea­son received one less col­or option, how­ev­er, it is much bet­ter than the monot­o­nous gray from DJI. You can choose your EVO Lite in one of three pos­si­ble col­ors: clas­sic orange (Autel Orange), white (Arc­tic White) or gray (Deep Space Gray).

Versions

In this aspect, every­thing has remained unchanged, the EVO Lite series is offered by the devel­op­er in two ver­sions: “EVO Lite” and “EVO Lite +”. The main and only dif­fer­ence of which is their cham­ber sys­tem.

Camera

EVO Lite

A 50MP 4K HDR cam­era built on a 1/1.28-inch CMOS sen­sor with a pix­el size of 1.22 × 1.22 μm is respon­si­ble for the pho­to / video shoot­ing of the drone in the EVO Lite ver­sion; with built-in RYYB col­or fil­ter array; FOV: 85°; aper­ture: f/1.9; equiv. focal length: 23 mm. An ultra-pre­cise 4‑axis mechan­i­cal gim­bal is respon­si­ble for image sta­bi­liza­tion, at least this is how the devel­op­er posi­tions it.

In fact, this is a stan­dard 3‑axis ultra-pre­cise mechan­i­cal gim­bal, in which a cam­era is installed with a unique built-in rotary mech­a­nism that allows you to turn the matrix from a hor­i­zon­tal posi­tion to a ver­ti­cal one, which in turn made it pos­si­ble to shoot ver­ti­cal­ly pho­to / video with­out the need for dig­i­tal pro­cess­ing, as it was made for the EVO Lite+ ver­sion, where the main dis­ad­van­tage of the dig­i­tal approach is the loss of the orig­i­nal image qual­i­ty at the out­put.

Max. video qual­i­ty: 4K 3840 × 2160 at 60 fps in MP4/MOV (8‑bit) for­mats. Max. pho­to qual­i­ty: 50MP 8192 × 6144 (4:3) in JPG (8‑bit) / DNG (10-bit) / JPG+DNG for­mats.

Shooting quality

An exam­ple of drone video qual­i­ty in the EVO Lite ver­sion (with­out post-pro­cess­ing):

*Due to the fact that the EVO Lite ver­sion of the drone is not cur­rent­ly avail­able for sale, and there is not a sin­gle review on it that could eval­u­ate the orig­i­nal qual­i­ty of shoot­ing, there is also noth­ing in this sec­tion yet. As soon as the drone appears, we will imme­di­ate­ly post the rel­e­vant con­tent here.

EVO Lite+

A 20MP 5.4K HDR cam­era built on a 1‑inch CMOS matrix with a pix­el size of 2.4 × 2.4 μm is respon­si­ble for the pho­to / video shoot­ing of the drone in the EVO Lite + ver­sion; with built-in RYYB col­or fil­ter array; FOV: 82° with vari­able aper­ture: f / 2.8 — f / 11; equiv. focal length: 29 mm. An ultra-pre­cise 3‑axis mechan­i­cal gim­bal is respon­si­ble for image sta­bi­liza­tion.

Max. video qual­i­ty: 5.4K 5472 × 3076 at 30 fps in MP4/MOV (8‑bit) for­mats. Max. pho­to qual­i­ty: 5472 × 3648 (4:3) in JPG (8‑bit) / DNG (10-bit) / JPG+DNG for­mats.

Shooting quality

An exam­ple of the qual­i­ty of shoot­ing a drone in the EVO Lite+ ver­sion (all default set­tings):

Day video shooting

Night video shooting

daytime photography

digital zoom

The video sys­tem of both ver­sions of EVO Lite has 16x dig­i­tal zoom in its arse­nal. It is not worth plac­ing high hopes on it, since in prac­tice zoom­ing with­out loss in qual­i­ty is pro­vid­ed with­in a 2‑fold increase, which is gen­er­al­ly the norm for UAVs in their niche.

EVO Lite+ zoom example

Defog Mode

A new fea­ture affect­ing the auto­mat­ic adjust­ment of the video sys­tem set­tings for shoot­ing in dif­fi­cult envi­ron­men­tal con­di­tions. With Defog mode active, whether you’re fly­ing over a fog­gy hill­top at dawn or hov­er­ing at the base of a water­fall, the drone’s sys­tem will auto­mat­i­cal­ly adjust the cam­era set­tings so your footage looks crisp and clear.

FPV

To ensure con­fi­dent pilot­ing of the drone in FPV mode, the devel­op­er has equipped the EVO Lite series with its top-of-the-line Autel SkyLink dig­i­tal video trans­mis­sion sys­tem, which pro­vides expo­nen­tial noise immu­ni­ty, a sig­nal trans­mis­sion range of up to 12 km and a max­i­mum video link qual­i­ty of 2.7K at 30 fps.

How­ev­er, here, as in the case of the EVO Nano series, it is worth not­ing that in fact, the FPV flight range in the broad­cast qual­i­ty of the 2.7K video stream is less than 1 km, while the SkyLink dig­i­tal sys­tem pro­vides the max­i­mum poten­tial exclu­sive­ly in 1080P qual­i­ty at 30 fps, which the devel­op­er explains in the drone spec­i­fi­ca­tion.

3‑way imaging system

The EVO Lite series of drones is equipped with a pow­er­ful binoc­u­lar visu­al­iza­tion sys­tem of the sur­round­ing world, which, cou­pled with an advanced AI algo­rithm, allows not only to rec­og­nize obsta­cles in front, behind and below the drone, but also to plot safe flight routes in advance. Thanks to the pres­ence of a sen­so­ry sys­tem, anoth­er top tech­nol­o­gy, Dynam­ic Track 2.1, also entered the arse­nal of both ver­sions, which allows the copter to auto­mat­i­cal­ly track select­ed objects.

Dynamic Track 2.1

The top patent­ed Dynam­ic Track 2.1 ™ auto­mat­ic object track­ing sys­tem, which allows using AI to track objects select­ed for shoot­ing even at high speeds, as well as to cre­ate real-time tra­jec­to­ries around encoun­tered obsta­cles in advance. Accord­ing to the infor­ma­tion on the offi­cial web­site, DT2.1 will be avail­able lat­er with the arrival of the next firmware update.

Auto flight and shooting modes

The abil­i­ty to cre­ate spec­tac­u­lar pro­fes­sion­al-lev­el shots in one tap is the hall­mark of any high-tech drone. Autel Robot­ics engi­neers offer the user four brand­ed auto-flight and Quick­Shots shoot­ing modes, which will allow the user of any skill lev­el to cap­ture the best moments of life as cin­e­ma pro­fes­sion­als do. You can empha­size the epic nature of events by apply­ing fil­ters and music.

The EVO Lite series is pow­ered by a 3S/11.13V Lithi­um Poly­mer Intel­li­gent Flight Bat­tery with a capac­i­ty of 6175 mAh and a capac­i­ty of 68.7 Wh. Pro­vides a max­i­mum auton­o­my of 40 min­utes, which is indica­tive for the niche occu­pied by the UAV (achieved in calm weath­er at a flight speed of 15 km/h). In prac­tice, with mixed pilot­ing style and envi­ron­men­tal con­di­tions, 31–35 min­utes of flight time can be expect­ed. Max. bat­tery charg­ing time: 90 min­utes.

Control

EVO Lite series drones are con­trolled by a clas­sic tan­dem con­sist­ing of uni­ver­sal con­trol equip­ment (imple­ment­ed for the EVO Lite / EVO Nano series of drones) and a smart­phone through the Autel Sky mobile appli­ca­tion. Slave. con­trol equip­ment fre­quen­cy range: 2.4GHz/5.2GHz/5.8GHz. Max. sig­nal trans­mis­sion dis­tance: 10 km.

Pow­er sup­ply: built-in capac­i­ty of 3930 mAh. Max. auton­o­my: 2.5 hours. Max. charg­ing time: 120 min­utes. Inter­face: USB‑C charg­ing port + USB‑C port for con­nect­ing a smart­phone via the includ­ed RC cable (loca­tion: on the front side of the remote con­trol under the smart­phone hold­er. Do not mix it up!).

APP

To ensure full con­trol of the drone, the devel­op­er offers to use a mobile appli­ca­tion spe­cial­ly devel­oped for the EVO Lite / EVO Nano series — Autel Sky, thanks to which, in addi­tion to FPV pilot­ing, con­trol­ling drone and cam­era set­tings, the soft­ware allows you to cre­ate and edit short videos in a few taps, as well as share them with the com­mu­ni­ty. To down­load the Autel Sky app, vis­it the offi­cial Autel EVO Nano/ EVO Lite down­load page at: https://www.autelrobotics.com/download/app_download.html.

MovieMaster

MovieMas­ter is an intu­itive set of video tem­plates pre-installed in the Autel Sky mobile app for quick­ly and eas­i­ly cre­at­ing mas­ter­pieces with a cin­e­mat­ic touch, allow­ing the user to sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduce the tedious process of edit­ing cap­tured pho­tos and videos, and quick­ly share their cre­ativ­i­ty with the com­mu­ni­ty.

Developer Quick Start Guide

SuperDownload

To ensure max­i­mum effi­cien­cy when inter­act­ing with the footage, the devel­op­er has added the “Super­Down­load” func­tion to the drone’s arse­nal, which allows the user to trans­fer files record­ed on the drone’s SD card in their orig­i­nal qual­i­ty to a smart­phone at speeds up to 160 Mbps (20 MB/s). More details about the func­tion in the FAQ sec­tion below.

Price and availability

Cur­rent­ly (09/14/2022), only the EVO Lite+ ver­sion is avail­able for pur­chase. When the EVO Lite ver­sion will go on sale, infor­ma­tion is not dis­closed. Among oth­er things, we also recall that since the appear­ance of Autel Robot­ics on the glob­al mar­ket, their prod­ucts have not been offi­cial­ly sup­plied to the World, there­fore, there is no after-sales guar­an­tee and tech­ni­cal sup­port. no devel­op­er sup­port. Depend­ing on the select­ed ver­sion and con­fig­u­ra­tion, the man­u­fac­tur­er has set the fol­low­ing prices for the drone, as well as for addi­tion­al acces­sories for it:

Minuses

• Price (for both ver­sions)
• Exces­sive sharp­ness when shoot­ing in a stan­dard video col­or pro­file (it is also present in the Log pro­file, but to a less­er extent)
• The lack of the abil­i­ty to con­fig­ure both the stan­dard col­or video pro­file and the Log video pro­file (may be added over time)
• Lack of stan­dard video set­tings in the appli­ca­tion (may be added over time)
• 8‑bit Log Video Pro­file
• Dynam­ic Track 2.1 is not yet avail­able (expect­ed with the next update)
• Lack of auto­mat­ic obsta­cle avoid­ance func­tions (as long as the drone only slows down in front of them)
• Lack of a built-in screen in the con­trol pan­el
• The lack of a spe­cial place in the remote con­trol (like DJI drones) for stack­ing remov­able sticks

To date, the EVO Lite series is the only com­peti­tor that can com­pete with such top solu­tions in the mid-sized UAV niche as DJI AIR 2S (direct com­peti­tor to EVO Lite +) and its pre­de­ces­sor DJI Mav­ic Air 2 (direct com­peti­tor to EVO Lite). Let’s make a reser­va­tion right away that due to the fact that the younger ver­sion of EVO Lite is cur­rent­ly not on the mar­ket, this con­clu­sion for it will be based sole­ly on the declared spec­i­fi­ca­tion.

Autel EVO Lite

So, com­pared to DJI Mav­ic Air 2, Autel EVO Lite out­per­forms the lat­ter in such key para­me­ters as: on-board cam­era matrix size 1/1.28-inch CMOS (EVO Lite) vs. 1/2‑inch CMOS (Air 2), max. flight range 12 km (EVO Lite) vs. 10 km (Air 2), and max. flight time 40 min­utes (EVO Lite) ver­sus 34 min­utes (Air 2).

On the oth­er hand, EVO Lite sig­nif­i­cant­ly los­es to its com­peti­tor DJI Mav­ic Air 2 in terms of such para­me­ters as: max. a ceil­ing of 5,000 m (Air 2) ver­sus 4,000 m (EVO Lite), as well as a set of var­i­ous auto­mat­ic func­tions and secu­ri­ty sys­tems, includ­ing: Focus­Track, APAS 3.0, Quick­Shots, which, among oth­er things, man­aged to con­firm their exclu­siv­i­ty in prac­tice. And final­ly, it is impos­si­ble not to note the sup­port for the advanced DJI Smart Con­troller, and of course the final price tag, where Mav­ic Air 2 starts at $799, and EVO Lite, judg­ing by the prices for the EVO Nano series, will start at least at $900+.

Autel EVO Lite+

As for the top ver­sion of EVO Lite +, how does this drone out­per­form DJI AIR 2S in such key options and para­me­ters as: f / 2.8–11 vari­able aper­ture (AIR 2S has a fixed one), 10-bit RAW for­mat, expo­nen­tial­ly noise-immune com­mu­ni­ca­tion sys­tem , 40-minute auton­o­my (against 31 min­utes for AIR 2S), no geofenc­ing (which, among oth­er things, requires more respon­si­bil­i­ty from the user).

The main dis­ad­van­tages of EVO Lite + include exces­sive sharp­ness when shoot­ing in a stan­dard col­or video pro­file (it is also present in the Log pro­file, but to a less­er extent), the lack of the abil­i­ty to con­fig­ure both the stan­dard col­or video pro­file and the Log video pro­file (may be added over time), the lack of stan­dard video set­tings in the appli­ca­tion (may be added over time), 8‑bit Log-video pro­file (AIR 2S: 10 bit Dlog‑M), lack of auto­mat­ic obsta­cle avoid­ance func­tions, as well as Dynam­ic Track 2.1 auto track­ing of objects (should be avail­able with the next firmware update), the lack of a built-in screen in the remote con­trol (con­sid­er­ing that the pre­de­ces­sors EVO and EVO II had it), the lack of a spe­cial place in the remote con­trol (like most DJI drone equip­ment) for stack­ing remov­able sticks. Well, and undoubt­ed­ly the main sig­nif­i­cant dis­ad­van­tage of this ver­sion is its price, which starts from $1,549 (AIR 2S price starts from $999; The top kit will cost the con­sumer $1,300).

Let’s summarize

The EVO Lite series pre­sent­ed by Autel Robot­ics is not ide­al, how­ev­er, as you can see, most of the short­com­ings are fix­able and will be com­plete­ly elim­i­nat­ed over time, which is gen­er­al­ly the norm in a high­ly com­pet­i­tive envi­ron­ment. Oth­er­wise, this is the best high-tech solu­tion that meets all the trends of a fast-grow­ing hob­by, which means that if you make a choice in favor of Autel, then you cer­tain­ly will not be dis­ap­point­ed with the pur­chase.

Who is this series of drones for? Let’s start with the fact that since the advent of Autel Robot­ics, all prod­ucts of this com­pa­ny have been and remain the best alter­na­tive to DJI solu­tions in the UAV niche, which means that if for some rea­son you are not con­sid­er­ing buy­ing drones from DJI Inno­va­tions, then Autel is like at least equiv­a­lent, and in some aspects even supe­ri­or to the com­peti­tor to the top leader.

EVO Lite series drones are per­fect for any user, regard­less of expe­ri­ence, who is demand­ing in terms of qual­i­ty and man­u­fac­tura­bil­i­ty of the prod­uct and is look­ing for a reli­able portable solu­tion for semi-pro­fes­sion­al aer­i­al pho­to / video shoot­ing with the pos­si­bil­i­ty of deep post-pro­cess­ing of source frames.

That’s all we have, we real­ly hope that you did not waste your pre­cious time and were able to ulti­mate­ly make your best choice. Well, for those who, for var­i­ous rea­sons, could not decide, we rec­om­mend that you turn your atten­tion to the FAQ sec­tion below, where we have col­lect­ed all the fre­quent­ly asked ques­tions about the EVO Lite series of drones from Autel. We thank you for your atten­tion. Fly safe! Peace and good­ness to all!

FAQ

In this sec­tion, you will find answers to basic ques­tions regard­ing details such as fea­tures, spec­i­fi­ca­tions, oper­a­tion and com­pat­i­bil­i­ty, in order to ulti­mate­ly help you bet­ter under­stand this prod­uct.

Drone

Q. What is the dif­fer­ence between EVO Lite and EVO Lite+?
A. The only dif­fer­ence between the two prod­ucts is their cam­era sys­tem. The rest of the char­ac­ter­is­tics are the same.

Q. What col­ors are avail­able in the EVO Lite series of drones?
A. Avail­able in three col­ors: Autel Orange, Arc­tic White and Deep Space Gray.

Q. How often do blades need to be changed?
A. Before each flight, the blades must be inspect­ed for defor­ma­tion, wear, break­age and destruc­tion. If these con­di­tions exist, the blades must be replaced.

Q. How to prop­er­ly install the pro­peller on the motor?
A. To install the pro­pellers cor­rect­ly, fol­low these steps:

1. Make sure the drone is turned off.
2. Install pro­pellers with a white mark on motors with a white mark, and pro­pellers with­out marks on motors with­out a white mark.
3. To secure­ly fix the pro­peller to the motor, firm­ly press the pro­peller and then turn it in the direc­tion of fix­a­tion.

Q. Do EVO Lite series drones have bot­tom assist lights?
A. Yes, there is an aux­il­iary LED light on the bot­tom of the drone. When the low­er sen­sor sys­tem deter­mines that there is not enough light for its cor­rect oper­a­tion, and the low­er ultra­son­ic sys­tem deter­mines that the drone is too close to the ground, the aux­il­iary LED illu­mi­na­tion will auto­mat­i­cal­ly turn on. If nec­es­sary, users can also turn it on / off man­u­al­ly through the appli­ca­tion inter­face.

Q. Does the EVO Lite series sup­port one-but­ton return to take-off point?
A. Yes, it does. In par­tic­u­lar, the remote con­trol has a but­ton with the “house” logo, by press­ing which dur­ing pilot­ing the drone will auto­mat­i­cal­ly return to the take-off point. In order to per­form the auto return func­tion cor­rect­ly, before tak­ing off, make sure that the air­craft set­tings are set to return height above any poten­tial obsta­cle that the air­craft may encounter while exe­cut­ing the func­tion, and in gen­er­al, make sure that this func­tion can be per­formed at the place where the air­craft is launched .

Q. Does the EVO Lite series have obsta­cle detec­tion and avoid­ance?
A. Yes, the front, rear, and bot­tom of the drone are equipped with a binoc­u­lar envi­ron­men­tal sen­sor sys­tem.

Q. What is the max. flight alti­tude of the EVO Lite series?
A. Ceil­ing by max. flight alti­tude EVO Lite is 800 meters. Note! Some coun­tries and regions have dif­fer­ent height restric­tions. Remem­ber to check the local flight rules before fly­ing the drone!

The max­i­mum flight speed of the drone in smooth mode is 17.7 km/h (in this mode, the flight of the drone is as smooth as pos­si­ble, the response to the sticks is appro­pri­ate; rel­e­vant for shoot­ing in con­fined spaces, as well as when you need to get video in max­i­mum qual­i­ty, well, or at the first stages of train­ing pilot­ing), in stan­dard mode max. speed of 35 km/h (in this mode, 50% of the pow­er poten­tial is revealed, the response to the sticks is opti­mal), and 65 km/h in ridicu­lous (in this mode, it reveals the entire pow­er poten­tial of the drone, the copter reacts extreme­ly sharply to the move­ment of the con­trol sticks). Be care­ful when pilot­ing in ridicu­lous mode in the ear­ly stages of famil­iar­iza­tion!

Q. What is the max. wind resis­tance of EVO Lite series drones?
A. Class 7 (14 ~ 16.5 m/s)

Q. Is the EVO Lite drone series water­proof?
Oh no.

Max. down­load speed can be achieved in coun­tries where the 5.8 GHz fre­quen­cy band is legal­ly allowed. If the 5.8 GHz band is dis­abled, then the down­load speed will be lim­it­ed by the band­width of the 2.4 GHz band.

Q. How to ensure the best sig­nal qual­i­ty dur­ing flight?
A. The remote con­trol anten­na is built into the smart­phone hold­er. Adjust the angle of the anten­na accord­ing to the posi­tion of the drone, i.e. set the top of the phone hold­er towards the drone and make sure that there are no obsta­cles between the remote con­trol and the drone dur­ing the entire flight (build­ings, rein­forced con­crete struc­tures, park­ing lots, for­est, bush­es, etc.) .d.).

Q. What are the advan­tages of the Autel SkyLink dig­i­tal video trans­mis­sion sys­tem?
A. Autel SkyLink sup­ports a tri-band (2.4 GHz/5.8 GHz/5.2 GHz) oper­a­tion mode with auto­mat­ic switch­ing between these bands depend­ing on the inter­fer­ence sit­u­a­tion. In addi­tion, Autel SkyLink has improved anti-inter­fer­ence per­for­mance and image trans­mis­sion sta­bil­i­ty.

Q. Can I bring a bat­tery on board an air­craft?
A. The bat­tery has a capac­i­ty of 68 Wh and can be car­ried on board air­craft in accor­dance with air­line reg­u­la­tions.

Q. Can the bat­tery be used in cold envi­ron­ments?
O. Slave. bat­tery tem­per­a­ture range: ‑10°C ~ 40°C. When using the bat­tery in a low tem­per­a­ture envi­ron­ment, the bat­tery life will inevitably be short­ened. To opti­mize per­for­mance in cold weath­er, it is rec­om­mend­ed to warm up the bat­tery to 15 °C before use.

Q. How to use the bat­tery cor­rect­ly?
A. For the cor­rect oper­a­tion of the air­craft pow­er sup­ply, please observe the fol­low­ing con­di­tions:

1. Do not expose the bat­tery to tem­per­a­tures below ‑10°C or above 40°C, which may short­en the life of the bat­tery and may even cause a fire, explo­sion, or oth­er per­ma­nent dam­age.
2. Do not charge the bat­tery imme­di­ate­ly after the flight, it is rec­om­mend­ed to wait until the bat­tery has cooled to room tem­per­a­ture before charg­ing. The ide­al ambi­ent tem­per­a­ture for bat­tery charg­ing is 10°C ~ 30°C.
3. The ide­al bat­tery stor­age tem­per­a­ture is 22°C ~ 28°C. The bat­tery should be stored in a water­proof and mois­ture-proof place, pro­tect­ed from sun­light.
4. Remem­ber to charge and dis­charge the bat­tery every 3 months of inac­tiv­i­ty to ensure its effi­cient per­for­mance.

Q. What is the max­i­mum bat­tery life of the EVO Lite drone series?
A. About 40 min­utes (in calm weath­er).

Q. What can cause an update to fail?
A. The fol­low­ing rea­sons can cause the update process to fail:

1. If you dis­con­nect while down­load­ing the soft­ware.
2. If you turn off the device direct­ly dur­ing the update process.
3. Insuf­fi­cient bat­tery charge. Before updat­ing, make sure that the bat­tery and remote con­trol have ≥ 30% remain­ing pow­er.

If it fails for any rea­son, just reboot the devices (Aircraft/Remote) and repeat the update process again.

Q. How to update the firmware?
A. To update the firmware, please fol­low the steps below:

1. Turn on the drone, remote con­trol with a smart­phone and wait for the devices to pair.
2. When the sys­tem detects a new firmware ver­sion, the Autel Sky App will auto­mat­i­cal­ly dis­play a pop-up win­dow.
3. Fol­low the instruc­tions in the Autel Sky App to update the firmware. Users can check the update process through the appli­ca­tion inter­face.
4. After the update is com­plete, restart the air­craft and remote con­troller.
