I consider videos like these pixel peeping at its finest. To me, any modern drone with a 1" or larger sensor is great at night and they all pretty much have the same Sony Sensor so they should be nearly identical. Yes the Mavic with the 4/3 sensor on paper should perform marginally better but this video is a very poor representation of what the
EVO II 6K can do with lowlight conditions.
My biggest problem with these YouTube "testers" is that they typically are not experienced with the equipment they are comparing so their results are dubious at best and downright dishonest at worst if they are sponsored by a competing brand. This video is a great example of that; this tester clearly had their ISO too high with the Autel (probably 1600ISO or even 3200ISO) when the
EVO II 6K really doesn't perform well over 800ISO. Also there is no way to tell if the camera's LOG profile was used which will provide the best lowlight performance or how experienced the tester was at color grading; I could turn any camera's footage into an unusable mess within a few seconds of editing in Davinci Resolve.
It is always annoying to me to watch videos where the camera operator tried to turn night into day by cranking the ISO unless they are specifically performing high ISO tests and state that in their video. I immediately click out of camera test videos like that because it immediately tells me I can't trust any of their results. The right answer is to open the aperture, decrease the shutter speed, and raise the ISO very sparingly (in the
EVO II 6K's case it should not go higher than 800ISO), if none of that is bright enough then you need more light or need to get closer to the light source not just crank the ISO and continue adding circuit noise.
So with absolutely no insight into the tester's experience with each drone nor the camera settings that were used along with the tester's experience in color grading there is no way to say which one actually performed better. As a reference point in my Explore Your World
EVO II 6K video the lowlight footage where there was less light than the light in this video does not look like this video at all. Before I shot the video though I spent a good 3 months truly learning the camera's strengths and optimal settings and used it on commercial production shoots.
