Autel Lite+ vs Autel Nano+ 🔸 Amazing low-light camera drones but which one is the best?

I am really curious to know if the Autel Lite+ drone has a better low light camera than the Autel Nano+ drone. You would think so as it costs twice as much plus it has a bigger sensor. I know size matters, but I also know that Nano+ has an amazing camera. So in this video I will compare the video footage from both of these drones as it gets darker. I am hoping it will help determine which has the better camera, particularly in low light.

As background I've had the Autel Nano+ since January this year and I got the Autel Lite a few months ago however I had to return it due to an issue I found with it. Autel didn't have another one, so they sent me the Autel Lite+ instead. Although I wanted the Lite version, I thought I might as well compare the Lite+ version with the Nano+ to help me decide if the Lite+ is worth keeping since I already have an Autel Evo 2 Pro which has a similar 6K 1" camera.

I normally use 30fps but in this video I used 25fps and manual settings of 1/50 shutter speed and 1/25 shutter speed when it was dark. I used ND filters on both drones to keep the right exposure. I didn't go higher than IS800 and I didn't use any de-noising when editing this video.

As a comment I find the Autel Nano+ has an outstanding low light camera and a reliable flyer. The Autel Lite+ is also joy to fly and it's camera seems very capable. So far, I have noticed that the horizon of the Lite+ occasionally moves very slightly when flying. I am not sure if the gimbal needs calibration or if it is a quirk of this drone. I will do further tests.

However, this video is more about image quality, particularly in low light. Both drones performed really well in low light. The Autel Lite+ also has a night mode but I am not sure if I would use it since it digitally zooms in which seems to reduce the quality. I think I would use normal mode as it seems just as good in low light.

I will study this video to compare the two, but I think you need a 4K monitor to really see the differences. Unfortunately, I only have a 2.7K monitor which makes it hard to compare.

Please let me know which one you think is better and why?
I hope you like this video and thanks for watching, Brett - Gizmo Drones

Drones: Autel Lite+ and Autel Nano+
Video setting: 4K 25fps 1/50 shutter or 1/25 shutter when it was quite dark
Editing: Very slight editing, I fixed the perspective to help straighten the buildings. I didn't use de-noise at all.

Safety: Please note that I flew safely and within the drone flight rules. I check for other aircraft and stay low (tree top height) or land if there are low aircraft nearby, otherwise no higher than 120m and no closer than 5.5km to a controlled airport, no closer than 30m to people, no flights over people or crowds, keep the drone in line of site and controlled safely, no flights at night.

I have a RePL drone license and insured.
