It's good to see an Autel review video. It sounds like you're being fair and unbiased which is what potential customers need from an honest review. The price is pretty decent for this class of drone. It will make it affordable for a lot of SAR departments to keep a few on hand. Maybe even police and fire departments too.
Was looking at DJI Mavic 2 Ent Advanced but the Autels range and time up seems nice. Note: Not much response here so I picked one up and will find out first hand. With the offers and discount plus tax I walked away with a EVO Lite Enterprise 640T Thermal Basic package for $2632. Didn't think the $500 premium for the Upgraded package worth the 2 extra batteries, case and some spare props. I have 4 Mavic 2's and was really hoping to pickup a M2 Ent Advanced but the Autel was more affordable. Now to test the latency in the Autel as that is the issue when compared to the DJI from what Drone operators tell me.
Thank you, Ken, for the excellent unboxing and overview of the new Autel Evo Lite Enterprise drone. Wow, what a big bag for the buck with this drone. I love my EVO Lite, and if the new drone works as well as its predecessor, this thermal capability is a game changer. I'll be watching for your entire flight review. Take Care
great! i would like to see a comparison between this drone and Autel Evo II v3. i would like to see the differences in photogrammetry with e without RTK.
Based on my use of the Lite+ over the last couple of years, the transmission system on Autel beats the pants off DJI. I fly in heavy urban environments and time and again, I get better transmission with Autel than with DJI flying the same exact route. Which in a SAR situation, to me, would seem pretty critical. Nice review, Ken. Just wish Autel would give the consumer side of the market another look.
I was considering this myself as my day gig in BVLOS/P135 certification dev with past 3 yrs using APM almost completely..VERY powerful open software for flight and dev. Were you looking at LTE C2 or local Tx/Rx with your build? The pros/cons consideration for me with custom build vs plug n play has been a toss up with all things considered, I saw where 3rd party SDK is much better on this release, but if it can plan custom WP missions in-built, I may just be sold! (Already have an Evo Lite+ for just creative imagery, so cross compatible packs would def be another pro as well!) Hope everything goes well whatever you decide on! 🍻
looking for a drone for our SAR team that has thermal. Do you recommend Autel or DJI? Which is better for wind and rainy weather? On the fence on which one to get, depending on which view I read says different options.Thanks
Ken- appreciate the video, very impressive at that price point. Was wondering if you got a chance to try the usb-c to hdmi connector to see if you could output to a tv or monitor? Thanks!
Nice video, I ordered and received my enterprise light 640T on 8/27 and I am very impressed, I actually like it better than my DJI thermal 3t. I don't have enough flight time to post a youtube video but I hope to in the next week. The RC is also very nice.
Did the usb C ever allow you to output to video? It sounds like you have some AR glasses which would be amazing if it had that ability to seemlessly plug into.
that’s awesome! lol. Can I order a evo lite enterprise thermal with the larger RC from your site and expect it to be shipped out? Or are they not available yet?
So, you have drifted back to Autel? I have this drone. I cannot get it registered. Registration page for the app it requires you to download to register is all in Chinese. Haven't gotten through to customer service yet...
I just talked to the salesman at Autel Robotics. He said all the ebay sellers and others out there are importing from over seas as they, the company in the USA won't have any to sell till late December 2024. He explained they can not support service and repair till they get a supply of parts in??????????????? They don't seem overly knowledgeable about this new product. He was not able to tell me if their RFID on the 640T could be turned off. You would not want a fugitive your looking for fire up his drone app to tell where the drone and operator were that was searching for him.
Is it truly 640? Normally like the Flir Duo, they have a low res 100 something thermal but use the visible camera to overlay and simulate a higher resolution. -$3500 is a game changer if its actually 640
@@OriginaldoBo whats your thoughts on why anyone would choose the evo 2 v3 640t vs this? What on earth is missing to have a price tag almost $1500 cheaper
@@itspoffy well I’m sure it’s not compatible with the spot light , speakers, etc. and it’s a smaller scale drone and smaller screen all around. If it’s the same quality and feedback as the others I am ordering it. Just waiting for the flight test video to be dropped..
@@rickybooby3616 I've wanted to be available for s&r with our local volunteer rescue in our little 1 stop light county but couldn't see providing a $5000 thermal drone out of pocket for volunteer services. I do pro video and I'm sure money could be made on thermal, its just not what I'm great at. Now $3300 is alot more reasonable so probably as excited as you are too. Don't really care about the spotlight, speaker and other attachments.
@@OriginaldoBoTragic. I hear good things about the regular rc though. I just ordered the premium bundle of the lite plus for a little over 800. I figured that's a steal.
@GhostD0G8 Can confirm the Lite+ is a fantastic mid size 1" 6K shooter. Im sure you've done your homework on all the specs..some of the smaller wrinkles that may not be as "polished" as DJI, either aren't big enough to be a compromise, or are completely erased by the Evos not having any permissions to fight with, just to fly a drone that is YOURS. Imo you won't be even remotely disappointed in going with the Lite+..flight range is ridiculous and pics/video are bold and great quality. 💯🎉
@@AirtimeAerial right on. So I actually returned it and got the Evo 2 pro V3. I contacted Autel and they said they have no plans to make a smart controller for the lite +. That's a deal breaker for me. So far so good with the Evo ii pro. I appreciate your input.
Why ? Because this isn’t a review it’s the unboxing , when I do any enterprise I been it into two segments. Lastly you didn’t pay shit for the video and your time is worth the spit on the ground you bum
Since the bans for auto and dji... what is the reason to even watch these videos anymore, anytime anything becomes remotely good for the public these lawyers come with political whoooooos and mess everything up!
@@OriginaldoBo They fact that they are means it's only a matter of time before it happens. They do this because they're miserable, you notice anytime you're having fun someone comes around and party poops?
@OriginaldoBo how did you order a drone from drone works ? It still says this drone availability is pending? Did you get a special early access delivery or is their website not accurate? I’m looking to buy one asap and I don’t wanna purchase it through Autel pilot or another Autel website. Much rather use an actual store. (Which drone world is actually in my state)
$3359 on the website, if you didn't want to watch the video
Yep has a slight price reduction
@@OriginaldoBo How much is the compatible DJI Version?
@@BrianKushner double the price
You're a prince
@@OriginaldoBo Qual site posso comprar?

I love my Autel E2P. I really hope there will be an E3P one day with a 4/3 sensor. That will make it worth upgrading.
Yep me too.

I happen to like the Lite+, been using it for a while now. This thermal is a great option
Thanks for going over this drone! Been looking forward to some reviews on this!

They actually gave us some stick holders from factory for some evo lite plus remotes. sorta like what you sell.
So no remoteID? Is stealth mode just turning off the lights? Thank you
Intresting - I‘m currently building a compact ardupilot drone for thermal, but this might be more convenient for the future…

Glad your ok my friend with that hurricane
Any chance you could show us how mission planning looks like in your next video? I'd like to see how it might work in mapping 😊
I would love to have a thermal drone! That thing looks nice.
When is the flight footage coming?

Maybe you can do a comparison between the two.
What is the comparison between the 2 on latency? I was going for a DJI M3T but the pricing was steep.
Did the usb C ever allow you to output to video? It sounds like you have some AR glasses which would be amazing if it had that ability to seemlessly plug into.
Whats the difference between the evo lite 640 T & the regular evo lite 6k enterprise ?
that’s awesome! lol. Can I order a evo lite enterprise thermal with the larger RC from your site and expect it to be shipped out? Or are they not available yet?
You won't eat it... Lol please don't. I'm excited to hear what you think. I have an anycubic Kobra 3 combo. Would you review it?
Nah already reviewed that once. If it’s not a product I’ll use daily I won’t review it
So, you have drifted back to Autel? I have this drone. I cannot get it registered. Registration page for the app it requires you to download to register is all in Chinese. Haven't gotten through to customer service yet...
I review drones so we look at all drones

Hopefully they make that controller compatible with the non enterprise version.
Negative will not be due to chip difference

I wonder why the photos are only jpg, they have the 1inch sensor
This isn’t a 1 inch sensor this isn’t meant for anything other than inspection and sar
@@OriginaldoBoSo the 1inch CMOS sensor is strictly for the night vision/infrared camera?
Where does DJI sell a mavic 3T for $4k?
5,498 is their retail you can pick them up used all day 4K with low hours. Again as fucking stated the EVO is the cheapest.
Where are you seeing mavic3ts for 3900?
Was a Mavic 3E non thermal , again doesn’t matter still makes the EVO the cheapest by far
@@OriginaldoBo yeah the E is non thermal. I was just looking for that deal for the agency I work with.

Video drop after a hurricane 🫡
Still waiting on the flight videoooooo
We’re not releasing until next week!
I thought you hated Autel drones?
Nah I still use them when we need them
@@OriginaldoBo Then you lied, lol.
The consumer version appears to be plastic with a textured carbon fiber look
Since the bans for auto and dji... what is the reason to even watch these videos anymore, anytime anything becomes remotely good for the public these lawyers come with political whoooooos and mess everything up!
Nothings been banned as of yet and likely won’t be
The drone ban was removed from the bill a few days ago. That doesn't mean it's totally dead, but it's a big win for us.
@@OriginaldoBo They fact that they are means it's only a matter of time before it happens.
They do this because they're miserable, you notice anytime you're having fun someone comes around and party poops?
@@andrewdrone It is a win, the problem is why did they push for it in the first place?
This won't end...
Skydio is pushing the ban. This way the can sell there $16000. drone that is similar to the EVO lite-t.
So much for competition
Basically still autel junk....as usual😂😂😂😂
They are bad drones.
Going to guess you have zero experience what so fucking ever
