so ive been going back and forth on this for like two months now and i cant make up my mind. i fly mostly open fields and some light hiking trails, nothing crazy. the mini 3 pro seems like the obvious choice because of the ecosystem and obstacle avoidance but the nano+ colors look so much better out of the box from everything ive seen on youtube. also autel doesnt have the geo-fencing thing which honestly matters to me more than i expected when i started looking into this stuff.

anyone here actually flown both or at least owned the nano+ for a while? not looking for spec sheet comparisons i can google that, just want to know if the autel feels worth it in day to day use or if i'd be missing stuff that DJI just does better without me realizing it

had the nano+ for about 8 months before i sold it. build quality felt really solid, surprised me honestly. the image quality is genuinely great especially in good light, those colors really do pop without much editing. but the app was kind of a mess when i first got it, crashed on me a few times during preflight which was annoying. they pushed updates and it got better but it felt like beta software for a while there.

ended up going mini 3 just because of how smooth the whole DJI ecosystem is, the RC controller with the built in screen changed things for me. not saying autel is bad at all, i'd probably still recommend it to someone who doesn't want to deal with DJI's no fly zone stuff. just depends what you value more i guess

i only have the nano+ so cant really compare directly but ive been happy with it. the no geofencing thing was literally the main reason i got it lol, fly near my house which is close to a small regional airport and DJI was just a pain about it. autel just lets you fly which some people think is sketchy but i mean i know the rules and i follow them so
