The biggest difference between the platforms is their cameras. Autel EVO Lite Enterprise includes a high-resolution 640x512 thermal camera and a 48MP visual camera. The DJI Mavic 3T has three camera lenses that support up to 56x hybrid zoom, and the addition of a wide-angle camera will make the imaging field of view wider.
The thermal sensor is not the only difference between the DJI Mavic 3T and EVO Lite 640T Enterprise. The EVO Lite 640T Enterprise weighs about 10% less than the Mavic 3T, making it more portable. At the same time, the flight speed and flight time are almost the same as the Mavic 3T.
The lightweight enterprise drone EVO Lite 640T Enterprise is equipped with the smart remote controller Autel Smart Controller SE V2 and Enterprise App. Compared with DJI, it has more functions that are more suitable for industry operations, such as quick tasks, target recognition, etc.
What are the advantages of the EVO Lite 640T Enterprise Thermal Imaging Drone?
- Interchangeable Camera Payload System - A huge selling point of the EVO Lite 640T Enterprise Thermal Imaging Drone is that its camera system is modular and can be swapped between camera payloads (such as dual cameras and 6K dedicated cameras) .DJI's Mavic 3 Enterprise series drones do not offer any upgrade path for existing owners who want to invest in a multi-purpose drone.
- No geo-fencing - Autel Robotics takes user needs into consideration and does not enforce fences and restricted flight areas, except in conflict areas.
- Lightweight - The EVO Lite 640T Enterprise weighs only 866g and can support an incredible 40 minutes of flight time.
- Excellent thermal camera - The thermal imaging infrared camera has a resolution of up to 640*512@30fps and supports 16x zoom. The thermal imaging camera hardware quality is close to that of the M3T.
What are the advantages of DJI Mavic 3T's thermal imaging drone?
- Add-on modules - Public safety, search and rescue, inspection and many other applications have begun to like the add-on modules (except beacons) of the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise series.
- RTK compatibility - The RTK add-on module achieves the ability to achieve centimeter accuracy by using the NTIP network. This is extremely important for inspection users, especially for the utility/energy field.
- Transmission system - DJI Mavic The 3T can transmit images up to 15km, while the EVO Lite 640T Enterprise can transmit images up to 12km.
- Flight Time - The DJI Mavic 3T can fly up to 45mins, while the EVO Lite 640T Enterprise can fly up to 40mins.
