what's up guys i'm ben from authentech, and we're jumping right into it today
we're comparing it in the new auto evo drone versus the DJI Mavic 2 pro now I
just finished my in-depth hands-on review of that new autel evo drone make
sure you check that one out after this one in case you missed it the Mavic 2
pro is going for about fifteen hundred dollars and they actually just raised it
50 bucks not sure if you saw that one the Evo is currently one thousand
dollars and that's about five hundred bucks cheaper quite the difference the
Evo drone actually has a few features that the Mavic 2 Pro does not like 4k 60
frames per second also it has one of my favorite features I'll just keep talking
about it that OLED screen built right into the remote control so you don't
always have to pull out your phone in order to fly and see that live video
feed it's right there at your fingertips as for the Mavic it has a one inch
hassled LED camera sensor and it produces some really beautiful 4k 30fps
footage splendid aerial photographs at 20 megapixels
it also has object avoidance sensors in all directions very sweet so without
further ado let's head down to the lake and catch some side-by-side camera
comparison shots and see which one you think is better
when we're setting these up you'll notice both quads are actually very
similar in size and how they fold and unfold the Evo looks too sand just a tad
taller than the Mavic but overall close in size and portability honestly I'd
give both these drones an A+ from me for that portability factor another key note
to discuss just check out how convenient and easy it is to boot up the Evo with
just that controller and drum and that video screen built right in there's no
need to mess with cables or hooking up my phone we're set up and ready to fly
in seconds now the Mavic isn't terrible by any means it's just a few extra steps
to hook up the phone into the controller launch the app make sure everything is
updated or else we can't fly I appreciate Otto's does not implement
this lock down into the Evo getting up in the air and find the same flight path
let's compare side-by-side footage both cameras have three XS Kimball's and as I
mentioned in the beginning the Evo can shoot not only 4k 30fps this is where
the Mavic maxes out but can also shoot 4k 60fps I've gone in-depth on the
benefits of 4k 60 in the past but the TLDR to have speed slo-mo aerial shots
while maintaining crisp 4k your footage can often look a lot more smooth stable
and cinematic all camera settings were left and default and the reason why we
do this well for the average person out there they're not tweaking with color
profiles or manual exposure those tools are powerful and great for the pro
shooters out there but default settings are a great way to see what sort of
image the average person would be able to capture with these drones starting
with the obvious the Evo has a much wider field of view 94 degrees to be
exact the Mavic is 77 degrees and that's when
she's gonna full fov I already did a side-by-side of that setting verse HQ
mode and though it crops an even tighter and aged cube
I found the quality and image to look better so thus I left it in filming an
HQ mode the pros and cons well sometimes I really like that ultra wide-angle make
landscape aerials look really sweet however sometimes it's nice to have a
lens that makes you feel like you're flying closer to objects and you really
are plus it compresses that background in so both are good in different ways to
each his own on this one moving on to color saturation white
balance and dynamic range they both look great interesting enough that Mavic
seems to have a bit more punch of saturation contrast over the Evo as for
sharpness and clarity I've got to be honest and I'm really surprised on this
one when I was reviewing the footage I was expecting that Mavic Pro one-inch
Hasselblad sensor to blow the Evo out of the water but in a lot of these shots
man it was very close tight in some angles I think the Mavic looked nicer
but then in others the Evo clearly looks like the better camera leave some
comments below on which camera you think looks better the Evo or the Mavic now
just for fun I captured a quick shot both drones recording 1080p 120 frames
per second retimed 25% slow-mo both looks smooth and pretty similar a bit
blocky and pixelated I'd say neither is a clear winner or loser over the other
now when we switch to photos is a different story here
the Evo has 12 megapixels the Mavic 2 Pro has 20 megapixels so when we compare
side-by-side still photos and zoom in I've got to give it to the Mavic for the
crisp well-defined details and sharpness the Evo is nothing to sneeze at and some
of those images that snaps look really really good too but that 1 inch 20
megapixel sensor on the m2 Pro really shines here both quads hover and fly
stable and smooth there's lots of smart controls and safety features built into
both the Mavic has a lot more sensors and more directions for obstacle
avoidance and smart tracking capabilities now I want to move the
question onto you guys which one do you think is the better drone and why that
Mavic 2 Pro is it worth spending $500 more than the autel Evo what about
customer service or no-fly zones there's a lot to consider but as for the camera
comparison it was fun and really interesting to see these side-by-sides
now any of you interests in seeing a comparison of the
Evo versus my parrot Anna fee that'd be interesting because the Anna fee is only
700 dollars making it 300 bucks cheaper let me know make sure you guys stick
around for more drone and tech videos like this posted every week and until
next time let's live authentic
