Expert review · Sub-250g drone
Verdict
The Autel EVO Nano is a compact sub-250g drone with 48MP stills and three-way obstacle sensors, held back by software that is less polished than DJI's and by wind.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Autel EVO Nano

  • Under 250g weight allows flight without FAA registration
  • Excellent low-light performance due to large sensor and RYYB filter
  • Three-way obstacle avoidance sensors (forward, backward, downward)
  • No-fly zone geofencing is not strictly enforced like competitors
  • Vibrant 50MP photo capability and sharp 4K/30fps video
  • Stable flight and transmission range up to 10km
  • Unique features like SoundRecord for capturing ambient audio via phone

What we don't like about Autel EVO Nano

  • Higher price point compared to major rivals like the DJI Mini series
  • Video resolution limited to 4K/30fps; no 4K/60fps or 10-bit capture
  • Raw DNG photos are difficult to process due to RYYB color shifts
  • Obstacle avoidance only brakes and doesn't actively navigate around objects
  • Remote controller is somewhat basic with no physical flight mode switch
  • Longer firmware update and calibration times compared to other mini drones
  • Software processing can sometimes result in over-sharpened images

Verdict

The Autel EVO Nano is an ultra-lightweight, foldable drone weighing just 249g, making it exempt from FAA registration in many regions. It features a 1/2-inch CMOS sensor capable of capturing 48MP stills and 4K/30fps HDR video, stabilized by a 3-axis mechanical gimbal. Key characteristics include a 28-minute flight time, a 10km (6.2-mile) tri-band transmission range via the SkyLink system, and Level 5 wind resistance. Main pros are its high-resolution photography, compact portability, and the inclusion of three-way obstacle avoidance sensors (front, back, and bottom), which is rare for its size class. Notable cons include its fixed-focus lens which may struggle with very close subjects, the lack of internal storage, and a retail price that is often higher than comparable entry-level rivals.
