How about a comparison with the Air 2? Some say it completely replaces it. Interesting video, but not a full and complete view. You missed a few things though : -availability of a higher capacity battery for the 3 pro - NFZ headaches for most DJI drones (has nonsense issues flying in outdated temp zones) - 2.7k transmission resolution for Nano+ vs 1k for 3 pro (why guess at whether the shot is sharp?) - vertical shot capability on 3 pro - available colors for each - video transmission tech on Nano + is called SkyLink. Google is your friend. - RYYB on Nano+ vs RGGB on 3 pro - HDR and LOG on Nano +, but not on the 3 pro. Odd that you didn't mention it since you included the spec in the comparison with the Air 2S. Yes, which photos and videos look better is a matter of preference, sure. But I'd rather have my blue dots look odd at higher ISO speeds on the Nano + than have high noise from the 3 pro create dots where none existed. And when showing the top of the fuel tank, the nano plus showed the dirt pattern in great detail, whereas the 3 pro had white balance issues that blew out any definition that may have existed. No doubt the 3 pro is a great move forward for DJI. It blows the Mini 2 out of the water. It's just not as clear with the Autel Nano +.
About those different ISO images of the Autel at 15:00 and around: for me it really looks not the ISO based problem itself, it is a camera stabilizer produces smearing due to camera erratic movement. It is even visible what direction the camera have jerked by looking at the character of the smearing. You may not touch the drone in any way, but that won't prevent the staabilizer from thinking you are - some cameras even have a contact in the tripod mount that tells them the camera is on the tripod now to turn off stab function. BTW can you host full sized photos somewhere to download and analize it - have suspicion that DJI pushed too far with lens speed, so it became too soft at corners, want to check it out
It looks like the lens isn't centered properly on the sensor, so it has a softer focus on parts of the image vs others - basically it's a QA issue. I'd return it. Image quality-wise, it looks like it does a LOT of noise suppression, whereas the DJI doesn't. This is very similar to the difference between Pixel phones (lots of noise), and OnePus phones (lots of noise reduction and 'watercolour' effect), for example. It's be nice if both would allow an option for no noise reduction.
Greg, great review and comparison thank you. Do you think down the road that DJI and Autel could have a software update for there drones that would correct the noise and help in image sharpness.
The higher capacity batteries will take the drone over 250 gms. Personally I don't see the point in buying them Just get extra standard batteries and stay under the weight limit.
Thanks for the very informative content! I can say it's the 4K/60 or the better Active Track or the great flight experience that made me choose the Mini 3Pro over the Nano Plus but I think it all boiled down to which I drone I feel more confident flying, and it's the Mini 3Pro that is more reliable for me!
@@PilotInstitute I personally love the camera. No Geo fencing is big imop. Also you can choose between 4 different colors lol. However I feel the nano plus is priced to high but I also understand why autel had to price it this way. I still haven't 💯 ruled out the mini 3pro yet. I still love your videos and news updates and I'm still going to purchase the study guide for my 107 exam 🙃.
@@gimpman1357 not sure what your talking about at all. The sensor and the lens, Crush the mini 3 daylight or night. It's the mini 3 that looks over saturated and unrealistic.
The RYYB sensor probably uses some unique AI algorithm to extract the green color, such that it may give some artefacts. It however does , to average people, show great contrast in a dark environment.
Comparing how they fly is really open for personal interpretation. I might like the way a drone flies and you might like the other one. I can tell you that both of these drones fly similarly but I personally prefer the way the Mini 3 Pro flies. Doesn't mean the Nano+ doesn't fly well though.
Thanks for the review! Clearly both drones are awesome, almost similar in features but the price I think is the biggest deciding factor here! I mean you pay $900++ and you get the Nano+ drone with a standard controller. But with DJI, with the $900 bucks, you get the drone and a screen controller! It's easy to pick which is the better option here when you look at it that way
That’s not a “way of looking at it” that’s just stating your priorities, obviously that means nothing if a controller with a screen is of no value to you
It's nice to have an integrated screen but it's only 700 nits, not as easy to see as a smartphone screen in bright light. I think it should have a built in sunshade.
I wonder, you said you were doing 48mp and 50mp right? Was the nano plus flying while taking the intermittently soft photos at various iso? I wonder if the higher mp process takes longer and there was some sort of movement during the capture. Or if it is just the focus system success rate?
This is the best deep review of image quality of these two drones. Well done. We need the option to adjust sharpness contrast saturation on the Nano+ just like what we can do with the Evo 2 pro. This way we have full control of the image in post processing to get the best out of the sensor. Both Fly app and Sky app is missing this feature. For the Mini 3 I see a lot of chroma aberrations/ purple fringing around the blacks in your charts. lower quality glass could cause this. A good glass does not heat up that much, where as a low quality glass( maybe polycarbonate) when it gets hot it starts changing colour and affecting the image starting from the edge's of darker objects in frame. During the time of the phantom 3 and phantom 4 series Dji were using panasonic Leica glass. After that till today their probably using polycarbonate or cheap ass glass to cut cost. Average user won't notice this but the day you start using charts and pixel peeping it is noticable. Autel has always used high quality glass up to date Both of these drones need more fine tuning regarding image quality
Great review! It's hard to pick which drone is better since they almost have the same specs. But when you factor in the DJI RC and the price, it's obvious, DJI Mini 3 Pro wins here!
I am looking at a mavic 3 for $1,500 but the mini 3 looks so impressive especially in low-light I'm wondering should I wait and just get a mini 3 pro? What would you do?
Great comparison! I wish I had held off a couple weeks before buying the Autel Nano+ Unfortunately for me, the Autel Sky app crashed while I was flying the Nano+ and the drone flew away. Autel is not taking any responsibility for their app crashing and my drone that I had for only 3 days is gone. I'm definitely switching back to DJI.
@@PilotInstitute Fortunately, I haven't had a situation where I've had to deal with DJI customer service. I haven't had a DJI drone randomly fly away yet... lol
Unfortunately we have been trying to update the nano+ for the past 3 weeks and it has failed every single time. We finally were able to get it done 2 hrs before recording the pictures on the chart, so we missed that part. Autel has been frustrating at best with this little drones
@@PilotInstitute Hello, I can only talk about my own experience and maybe it can help you solve the update issues. I have NANO + bundle of the first batch, I pre-ordered on aliexpress so its probably their first Asian batch. honestly I never had update issues, but I also never skipped a firmware and updated from the original release firmware to each consecutive. I have a microSD card always loaded in the drone, use iPhone APP and im sitting in same room where my router is and only update with full batteries including remote. After im done updating the drone and one battery, i do 2 otehr batteries, so i keep everything in sync with latest firmware
2 years ago I paid $1026 for Autel 8K, and then $1146 for a E2P with 2 batteries. So many people have lost these sub 249g drones. No way would I buy them at those prices. Insanity for a meh camera at that. Lite + is about the best they have in later tech, but still the price is stupid high.
In the video comparison I personally thought the nano looked a lot better. These are not pro drones. This is for the person who shoots and sticks it on you tube with little work in post. For me the nano looked better
Why are the prices for the Nano+ more expensive compared to the DJI Mini 3pro? Thought the latest ones should be more expensive but the Nano+ costs $200 more.
To be honest, this is a one-sided test: - Specifications are detrimentally wrong for the Nano+. - A whole chapter is dedicated to the Nano+ only (ISO 100/200/400) In my opinion, the image of the Nano+ is miles better than the noisy output of the Mini 3; everyone can see that. Very one-sided view - unfortunately and therefore not useful as a comparison test.
The Nano+ looks better at the first look, but when you start looking at the details, as pointed out, especially the details, it looks post-processed and artificial. It generates an image that is not real. It is one of those things that once you see them, you cannot unsee. Noise is easier to correct than artifacts, you can produce processed output from a noisy one, but you can never recover details from post-processed smoothed output.
Saying that they can live that much according to the new sea classification is in Europe that means they would both be classed as higher than 250 g drones because the maximum takeoff mass could effectively be higher
Autel is awesome but I wish they lowered their prices and added more features so that dji didn't so freely and easily raise their prices 🤦🏽♂️ They're both competing over who could come out with the highest msrp's
You all are very thorough with your reviews and I appreciate that. However, I wish you would do a real world connection test with the DJI RC and Mini 3 Pro. There are a number of videos showing that the connection is exceptionally bad.
@@PilotInstitute That's good to hear. I've seen multiple flyers having issues at only 1k out. Of course I'm not planning on sending it miles out, but having issues at that short of distance might indicate video transmission issues in high interference areas. It's worrying since I do have one on order. However, it's reassuring that you haven't had any issues.
@@GriggityGreg It might be worth waiting for the full production models. The one we receive and everyone else are still pre-production so hard to tell if any issues are permanent or not.
It would be important to compare to the Zino mini pro, that has 48 mp raw and has a significantly better flight time (under 250 grams) and the best bitrate at 200 mb/s
@@PilotInstitute That is an interesting reason. The product is available on Amazon (just as an example) and should therefore be easy to get if really wanted
Autel prices have come down and are actually a lot better value for the money now that what dji offers. Mini 3 fly more is about 1200 bucks while you can get the Autel nano plus fly more for about 650
A mini 3 with the smart controller and extra batteries is $858 on DJI's website. Without the smart controller and a regular controller (offer comparable to Autel's) is $718 with the extra batteries. A similar Nano+ (with regular controller and extra batteries) is $799 on Autel's website, the Nano (non +) is $679. So same ballpark. IMO, the Nano+ is more comparable to the Mini 3 than the regular Nano (that's closer to the Mini 2). If you compare all that to the Mini 3 Pro (IMO, not really in the same league as even the Nano+), with the most expensive FlyMore batteries and a normal controller, you get to $1000. $1158 if you include the smart controller. You gotta compare apples to apples here.
@@PilotInstitute nano plus with three batteries and a bag and extra props,landing pad etc is 650 on Amazon, right now. The mini 3 pro is $1150 on Amazon, granted you do get the smart controller which is nice but you don't get the bag the extra batteries or any of the other stuff. It sounds like Amazon is running some very different deals. Amazon is charging twice the price for the mini 3 pro and you get less stuff but you get that nice controller which is probably worth it to a lot of people. Sounds like DJI's website has a lot better deals on their drones but Amazon has a lot better deals on Autel drones
How can the raw photos on anything be so much worse/noisier than normal pictures it would’ve been interesting to see how the normal pictures on the mini three related to the raw pictures on the mini three
Raw photos are before processing takes place. Processing includes things like noise reduction which is often applied automatically in the standard jpeg processing profiles. So that's why raw images look worse than processed images. They need to be processed first.
So...from beginning you admit you made some stupid thing: Use RAW from one and JPEG from other... MY FRIEND, JPEG is filtered, denoised and also compressed !!!! So you made an unfair advantage to Mini 3, making your test highly questionable and giving us a fair reason to affirm you are corrupted by DJI in order to create an advantage. Re-make the test using BOTH RAW ! And yes, I have Mini 3 Pro, but i do not like BS in here.
The one thing you did not test is the ability to fly in wind. The Au-Hell Nano+ has a hard time flying in 20+mph wind ... the Mini 3 Pro flies fine at those wind speeds. This problem was 1st discovered when the Nano series was released. Some people lost their drones because they could not fly back against the wind. Au-Hell 'claims' that they've fixed this problem in a firmware update. However, I watched a YT video where the YT-er had the Nano with the latest firmware update, and it STILL had severe problems in the wind. Add to this that every Autel drone ever produced has a skewed horizon ... including my original Evo 1. I hope your subscribers are aware of these Nano shortcomings .
You need a low-light, night time comparison. Nano+ wins hands down. Nano+ has NO GEO-FENCING. Must easier to fly without trying to get “permission”. I would never buy dji.
Random info: Just saw a youtube new video of a Ukrainian soldier accusing DJI of providing drone data to Russia to help them out in the war… pretty big accusation
One thing you forgot to say is that the DJI has someone that can track your drone 24h/day. And can give this to the police. And the other one doesn't. I think that's what I heard. But someone can correct me if I am wrong.

Great side by side comparison! However, aspects like apps and geofencing should also be part of a full comparison in my opinion.

Very Comprehensive comparison Greg - Thank you! Steve
Glad you put it back up
Yeah we had a little snaffu with the original version, all fixed up now.
You are wrong in your datasheet at 2:50, Autel has D-Log Color-Mode and Autel a 50MP-Sensor and DJI a 48MP-Sensor
Greg, great review and comparison thank you. Do you think down the road that DJI and Autel could have a software update for there drones that would correct the noise and help in image sharpness.
Always sharing informative, well-produced content. Thanks Greg.
Thx for the great video. Where you find the Mini 3 hover time? Do they give a hover time for larger battery?

Merci.
Probably a point that was not mentioned, is the Mini 3 has a RGGB sensor & Nano+ has a RYYB sensor.
The Nano+ also has a Log colour profile.
Correct!
And no stupid NFZ

It doesn’t have RAW for the 50MP mode, only 12MP.
The RYYB sensor probably uses some unique AI algorithm to extract the green color, such that it may give some artefacts. It however does , to average people, show great contrast in a dark environment.
Is it a Fuji camera? Hahah
What about comparing how they fly? Eg does one fly more smoothly and responsively than the other one? This is pretty important...

Amazon is charging twice the price for the mini 3 pro and you get less stuff but you get that nice controller which is probably worth it to a lot of people. Sounds like DJI's website has a lot better deals on their drones but Amazon has a lot better deals on Autel drones
How can the raw photos on anything be so much worse/noisier than normal pictures it would’ve been interesting to see how the normal pictures on the mini three related to the raw pictures on the mini three
Raw photos are before processing takes place. Processing includes things like noise reduction which is often applied automatically in the standard jpeg processing profiles. So that's why raw images look worse than processed images. They need to be processed first.

Just out of interest, what made you think I didn’t know that already, and that was the reason I commented
@@fj1100mark because you asked "How can the raw photos on anything be so much worse/noisier than normal pictures..."
@@VilhelmEdgren it was a rhetorical sarcastic question
@@fj1100mark sorry, it wasn't obvious.
perhaps distortion of the lens
nano plus handles noise much better, i dont have the iso 200 issues you have.
So...from beginning you admit you made some stupid thing:
Use RAW from one and JPEG from other...
MY FRIEND, JPEG is filtered, denoised and also compressed !!!!
So you made an unfair advantage to Mini 3, making your test highly questionable and giving us a fair reason to affirm you are corrupted by DJI in order to create an advantage.
Re-make the test using BOTH RAW !
And yes, I have Mini 3 Pro, but i do not like BS in here.
If you had paid attention you would have heard that we couldn't use RAW because it's not available in the Nano+ in the 48MP mode...
Also all photos that were captured RAW are converted to JPEG first before being shown.
There is another big point, 10 bit with the dji.
That was added after this video was recorded. It's also only available in D-Cinelog.
Fight modes!
j'ai acheter les deux drones et apres plusieur test j'ai retourné le dji ....j'ai choisi le nano + pour sa caméra
seen most of the mini 3 coverage fm your side, to be honest? a liitle bit boring, you can improve for sure. respect
Cool!

The one thing you did not test is the ability to fly in wind. The Au-Hell Nano+ has a hard time flying in 20+mph wind ... the Mini 3 Pro flies fine at those wind speeds. This problem was 1st discovered when the Nano series was released. Some people lost their drones because they could not fly back against the wind. Au-Hell 'claims' that they've fixed this problem in a firmware update. However, I watched a YT video where the YT-er had the Nano with the latest firmware update, and it STILL had severe problems in the wind. Add to this that every Autel drone ever produced has a skewed horizon ... including my original Evo 1. I hope your subscribers are aware of these Nano shortcomings .
We will eventually test wind resistance for drones but we want a more scientific method to do it.
U don't have either so why are u talking something haven't experienced, hater
Autel Nano seems better except for the flying range, it only goes about 2miles before loosing signal
I actually find it the other way around!
U must be confused. it's the other way around.
Mini3 is nearly better in every aspect
Nano all day long
You need a low-light, night time comparison. Nano+ wins hands down. Nano+ has NO GEO-FENCING. Must easier to fly without trying to get “permission”. I would never buy dji.
We have a low light comparison, that's what the high ISO pictures are.
What about a comparison between the Mini 3 and Mavic 3? just for kicks. The Mini 3 would crush the Mavic 3 with satellite connection 🤣
We are looking into doing that. On the satellite side, the Mavic 3 loses to even a ten-year old Garmin running watch lol
Random info: Just saw a youtube new video of a Ukrainian soldier accusing DJI of providing drone data to Russia to help them out in the war… pretty big accusation
Both Russia and Ukraine have access to DJI's detection technology called AeroSense, which shows the location of DJI drones flying by either side.
The Autel looks horrible in comparison, yikes.
Overprocessed, almost like something shot on a phone.
Who wants that??
One of the worse comparison videos I've seen TBH.
Autel thought it could stand a chance to top the Mini 3 Pro but that's clearly not happening now.
The Autel Nano+ is a great drone for $599.99.
Not the Nano+
One thing you forgot to say is that the DJI has someone that can track your drone 24h/day. And can give this to the police. And the other one doesn't. I think that's what I heard. But someone can correct me if I am wrong.
Both brands allow for flight tracking when the drone is turned on. Both companies also for those flights to be stored only on the drone itself.
