    Very comprehensive video Russ - thanks. There have been quite a few youtubers reccommending against the Air 3 as it's not too much of a step-up from the Air 2S or Mini 3 Pro and I'm always cautious of the negativity but having watched this twice now I'm convinced it's the one for me. Thanks again.

    Great video as usual, Russ! Looks like an amazing drone, and had I not just bought the M3P, I could have saved 50% and gone with the Air 3 and get a better controller with external antenna! Super happy with the battery life on my Mavic, though, so no regrets. Hoping lots of people are inspired by this and flood the market with their Mini 3 Pros so I can pick one up as a cheap second drone for those less-safe flying conditions. LOL

  • @Tank3rW4r
    @Tank3rW4r Před 8 měsíci

    I was just curious, with this drone having the fisheye type sensors, has anyone had any issues with placing a strobe on it for night flight and those sensors detecting the strobe thinking it's an object there or is the clearance of detection high enough that it won't interfere?
    Thanks for the videos as you are very informative with the features and all the different types of drones DJI has.

  • @WestVirginiasBigred271
    @WestVirginiasBigred271 Před 9 měsíci +8

    I have the Air 2s and mini 3 pro both do pretty well on active tracking. But here’s a issue that other CZcamsrs are having with using active tracking: a few heavy equipment operators using dozers and larger equipment are having difficulties getting the drone to track larger targets than a vehicle. If you decide to do a video on the active tracking try to track an object larger than an average vehicle. If the air 3 will track larger objects then these equipment operators will definitely be interested in upgrading.

    My Air 3 Fly More is on its way, should be here on 14th August. While the delivery approaches I’m getting more and more confused. I mainly shot aerial photos and less videos, but I’m interested in 70mm for the parallax effect as well, moreover the Air 3 comes with a better RC. I remember I was pretty disappointed with the feeling of the first RC with the Mini 3 Pro. What would you do? Will you return the A3 in order to swap it with M3C? I’m afraid about dropping the second focal length, but on the other hand I’ll improve by a lot video and photo quality… please help me picking one, leaving money aside. I read many things here and there, but can’t decide.

    I was about to buy the Mavic 3 Pro when I ran across the Air 3. I liked the price and the specs seemed close enough that I ordered it. I don’t have it yet and am doing my research while I’m waiting. Every channel I have watched offers some new info others haven’t and I have found yours to hit closer to what I need. I was a commercial photographer for 30+ years and started working with drones over the past two years. I have an Air 2 and a Mini Pro 3. Your video has inspired me to add a video to my channel when my Air 3 arrives.
