For years, sub-250g was DJI's playground. Then Autel arrived with the EVO Nano+, and suddenly DJI had competition.
Why Consider Autel?
Three reasons: No geofencing restrictions, superior RYYB low-light sensor capturing 25% more light, and less regulatory uncertainty given the DJI import ban.

Camera: The Secret Weapon
The 1/1.28-inch CMOS with RYYB color filter is the crown jewel. In side-by-side testing with the Mini 4 Pro, the Nano+ produced 1-2 stops more usable dynamic range in low light.
