What we like about Autel EVO Nano Plus

  • Sub-250g weight sidesteps FAA registration requirements in many regions
  • Large 1/1.28-inch RYYB sensor provides superior low-light performance
  • Equipped with three-way obstacle avoidance (front, back, and bottom)
  • Privacy-focused: no mandatory account creation or flight geofencing
  • Ability to record ambient sound from the smartphone during flight
  • Capable of capturing high-resolution 50MP JPEG stills

What we don't like about Autel EVO Nano Plus

  • Significantly higher retail price than competitors like the DJI Mini 3
  • Real-world flight time (approx. 20-25 mins) is often lower than the advertised 28 mins
  • Limited frame rate choices, lacking 4K/60fps or 2.7K/60fps options
  • Tricky Raw (DNG) color processing due to the RYYB filter array
  • Excessive voice alerts from the app and long firmware update times
  • Obstacle sensors can be overly sensitive, sometimes causing abrupt braking

Verdict

The Autel EVO Nano+ is an ultralight, sub-250g foldable drone featuring a high-performance 1/1.28-inch CMOS sensor with an RYYB color filter array and a large f/1.9 aperture, enabling superior 50MP stills and 4K/30fps HDR video even in low-light conditions. Its primary characteristics include a three-way binocular obstacle avoidance system (front, rear, and bottom), a 3-axis mechanical gimbal for stabilized footage, and the SkyLink transmission system offering a 10km range. Main pros include its exceptional image quality for its size, portable registration-free weight, and advanced PDAF+CDAF dual autofocus for precise subject tracking. However, notable cons include a relatively short 28-minute flight time compared to newer rivals, a high retail price, limited high frame rate options (60fps only available at 1080p), and a lack of 10-bit video capture.
