Autel EVO Lite+ Wind Resistance & Weather Limits

The Autel EVO Lite+ has a manufacturer-rated max wind speed of 16.5 m/s (59.4 km/h, 36.9 mph, Beaufort 7). That is its wind limit, so it can fly in wind up to that speed. For a safe margin, plan on sustained wind below about 42 km/h and keep gusts under the rating.

Quick Answer & Weather Summary

Autel rates the EVO Lite+ for wind resistance of Level 7 (14 to 16.5 m/s, so up to 59.4 km/h at the top) and an operating temperature of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). It has a 1-inch 6K camera and a rated 40 min flight time.

Autel EVO Lite+ Aerodynamics & Wind Handling

The 835g Autel EVO Lite+ features a 1-inch 6K camera with adjustable aperture (f/2.8–f/11) and Autel's signature Moonlight night algorithm. Autel rates it for Level 7 wind and 40 minutes of flight time, but only for temperatures from 0°C upwards, so it is a fair-weather and mild-winter drone rather than a cold-weather one.

Cold Weather & Battery Chemical Behavior

Autel rates the aircraft for 0°C to 40°C, so it should not be flown below freezing. In cool weather, keep the 6175 mAh battery warm before flight and hover for a minute after takeoff to check it.

High Wind & Vertical Wind Shear Guidelines

Autel Sky App displays real-time wind speed warnings. In strong wind, Sport (Ludicrous) mode allows top speeds of 19 m/s (68.4 km/h).

Frequently Asked Questions About Autel EVO Lite+

Answers based on Autel Robotics’s published specifications and UAV Meteo’s weather limits.

Autel lists the EVO Lite+ wind resistance as Level 7, which it gives as 14 to 16.5 m/s (up to 59.4 km/h). As with any rating, plan to fly well below it, especially in gusts.

No, the EVO Lite+ has no IP water rating and must not be flown in rain or heavy precipitation.

Autel rates the EVO Lite+ for 0°C to 40°C, so flights below freezing are outside the manufacturer’s tested range.

Cold batteries deliver less of their capacity, so expect noticeably less than the rated 40 minutes when the air is close to 0°C, and land with a larger reserve.

Autel lists a maximum takeoff altitude of 4,000 m above sea level.
