so ive been flying DJI stuff for years, had a Mini 2 and before that an old Phantom 3, and i finally decided to try something different when i found a decent deal on the EVO Lite+. figured id share some honest thoughts since theres not as much real-world stuff out there compared to the DJI content machine.

first thing i noticed is the camera is genuinely great in low light. like better than i expected for the price point i got it at. the variable aperture actually matters and i find myself using it way more than i thought i would. flew it at dusk last weekend and the footage held up really well without much noise.

the SkyLink controller takes some getting used to if youre coming from DJI. the sticks feel a little different and the app isnt as polished honestly. had a couple moments where it froze up on me which was a bit nerve wracking. not a dealbreaker but worth knowing going in.

range has been totally fine for everything ive done so far, no complaints there. battery life feels about the same as what Autel advertises which is nice because usually that number is a lie lol.

anyway curious if anyone else has one and has found good ND filters for it, im struggling to find a set that fits well and doesnt have massive vignetting issues.

welcome to the Autel side haha. i have the regular EVO Lite (non plus) and a lot of what you said tracks with my experience too. the low light thing is real, i was genuinely surprised when i compared clips side by side with my buddy's Mini 3.

for ND filters i've been using the Freewell set and they've been solid, no vignetting at least at 4k. i think i got the right mount version on the second try because the first set i ordered was listed wrong on the listing. just double check you're getting the Lite+ specific ones and not the regular Lite, the lenses are different and people mix them up all the time in listings.

the app freezing thing is something i ran into too when i first got mine. there was a firmware update a few months back that seemed to help a lot with that, if you havent updated recently its worth doing. also found that closing background apps on my phone before flying made a noticeable difference for some reason, not sure why that should matter but it does.
