Perhaps for some people the Mini 4 Pro would be a better choice. Not for me. I chose the Air 3. I live in the Chicago area which is the Windy City. My Mini 2 my first drone has been great and i still have and fly it. But the wind here has been brutal many days and the Mini 2 struggles greatly. The Air 3 is far better in the wind and the tele lens is a game changer.
Note the Air 3 had a firmware release yesterday that has added the same AR features as the Mini 4. I have had a Mini 2 for a few years, decided to learn to fly without sensors. However, I am now looking to buy either the Mini 4 pro or the Air 3. Tonight I wrote a pros/cons list to try and decide which one is best for my needs. Anyway, living in a windy place I have decided to go with the Air 3 as it is better in high winds, has two cameras, is a faster drone, is not limited to 120m in the EU and has a longer flight time. I will keep my Mini 2 for when I can only fly sub 250g, which is not very often as I tend to fly in the countryside. In the future I may also swap the Mini 2 for a 4 pro but only when the price drops.
I love my air 3 man, you will be happy with either or, the better wind resistance is what did it for me, because its windy where i live often and my huddies mini always struggled while my air3 does great in the wind
My opinion is if you want the extra camera and better wind resistance, and still get very good quality photos and videos get that air 3. The flight exam is an open book it’s nerve racking but over all not bad at all
Number 9 is a huge factor. 👍 I had to get a shot the other week, where avoiding unwanted attention was ideal, the Mini 3 was the one to use, rather than Mavic.
The size and noise difference is almost zero difference. The Air 3 has a lower pitch and is less intrusive IMO, and the very slightly size difference makes zero difference in someone "seeing" your drone. It's just a mental thing that you and most people have when it comes to drones. It's like filming yourself in public, no one really cares, but you think everyone is watching you.
A small correction. The vertical mode of the Air3 doesn't crop on the 4K, it crops on the 4:3 sensor, so you get a greater field of view than just cropping the 4K 16:9 video.
I came on here just after buying the air 3. Ultimately happy with my choice. The battery life, the 2 cameras! Is so clutch! And I weirdly just feels good having a solid pro feeling drone over something more of a toy. Also just getting my license I feel the only reason I’d go for a mini is if I wasn’t licensed. I’d definitely buy it as a backup drone.
I'm down sizing from air 2 to mini 4 pro. Tired of having a bigger drone to lug around i miss my smaller air 1 which was the perfect size. After using my gf's mini 3 pro a few times. I'm super convinced a smaller profile drone is much better in every single way. I travel a lot and a bigger drone doesn't make sense for me when a smaller form factor drone has the same image quality.
@@freshandsaltyjohnnyyup for some people size means a lot. If they can somehow can a 2nd camera on there then for me I probably would have taken it at the cheaper price. That’s gonna be hard tho to keep under 250 grams 😂
Very Good Video! Was hard to decide at first because I didn't have my licence, but for the sake of trying I decided to take the test, and luckily I passed it at the first try. Am going to get the Air 3 now, besides I have the Mini 3 Pro already for backup.
Really only 3 reasons, Size, Weight, True Vertical Video, the rest are software updates that are coming to the Air 3 eventually. They just want to sell some mini 4's first.
I wish I would have seen this video before I bought the A3. Considering neither aircraft has SDK availability at the present time I can see your point.

95% of the so called upgrades on DJI Mini 4 Pro, could have been a rolled out software update for DJI Mini 3 Pro, the Air / Mavic Series and save the planet. For wind resistance, Air/Mavic series over Mini series anytime.
Not sure you could have rolled out new vision cameras, new aux light and new infrared sensors on a software update. Those sensors opened up all the new features like the new active tracks 360.
@@FlytPath Sure you're right and those new additions make the 5%. Omnidirectional sensors are cameras so there's potential for active track 360° for omnidirectional featured drones and active track 270° for tri directional avoidance drones. I'm not bashing Mini 4 Pro, it's good for new buyers. Just pointing out the minimalistic additions for a long awaited new gadget which appears to be like Apple iphone strategy.
Can you do mini 4 pro vs Air 2S? I believe the air 2S is a really popular drone a lots of people have it, so it would be a great comparison and would be great to see if the new mini drone would beat that Air Beast😉
I am using the Air2s and waiting of mini5pro release. My air2s after the mavic2zoom is wonderful for travellenspro and I traveled Afrika and Asia. Air2s have 5K and is streng even in rain and windy coast
Hi..if legally we have no restrictions...and if Air 3 is only 10% more in cost than mini 4 pro...which would you prefer? in Dubai...the basic drones with RC controller..Air 3 is around 850 USD...Mini 4 pro basic is around 770 USD....basic..not the combo
Love the videos as always! I have a question, I have the original mavic 3 fly more combo. I’ve been debating selling it and getting the air 3, what are your thoughts?
great video as always.. any input on the Mini 4 Pro's Autofocus.. I just returned a Mini 3 Pro after 2 weeks having problems with using Autofocus-- lots of blurry pics.. only 'fix' was to use Manual focus set at Infinity.. not what I wanted in a new drone... checking further it seems to be a widespread common problem.. trying to do as much research as I can before I get the Mini 4 Pro .. over the past 3 years have the original Mini and the Mavic Air 2 without any problems
The Mini 4 Pro can't fly above 120 meters from where you stand in the EU. That means you can't fly up a mountain hill like 250 meters up and still be within 120 meters from the ground / terrain to where you can land your drone. The Mini 3 Pro (as of this time), Air 3 and Mavic 3's doesn't have this limitation in EU and can be flown up to 500 meters. And that alone is a good enough reason to not buy the Mini 4 Pro for now and either go for the Mini 3 Pro or the Air 3, or even with the Mavic 3's if you are serious about flying drones. This is if you are located inside the EU. If the Mini 3 Pro or Mini 3 gets the same limitation on a firmware release later, then I would go for the Mini 4 Pro at that time. But as things are at this time, I would go for the Mini 3 Pro over the Mini 4 Pro because of that limitation. Here in Norway, I can fly my 'Mavic 3 Pro' 500 meters up a mountain hill legally as long as i'm within 120m to the nearest ground / terrain I can land my drone at up there. And as long as I have VLOS on it.
Hi, i had the same concern here in Switzerland about this stupid 120m 'over startingpoint rule' (instead 120m over GND).. Therefore i've the following strategy: Using mainly 4pro with all its great new features. And for projects where i need to jump over those 120m i'll use my 'old' mini3pro. Maybe this is a solution for you as well. And btw: i dont make any update for 3pro, so this 500m limit won't be changed
Will there be an "X" reasons to buy the Air 3 over the Mini 4 Pro video? I have an Air 2, Air 2s, Mini 3 Pro so do I benefit more from a Mini 4 Pro or an Air 3? The extra lens on the Air 3 is a clear bonus that the Mini range can't compete with.
Under 250gms only with the light batteries. If you want better flight time you'll need the bigger batteries which takes it over 250gms... A little misleading there...
Just remember: “sport mode” shits off all those fancy sensors… ask me how I know 🤣 I bought mini 4 pro - but I am wondering if the controller will also work on the air 3?
I have a quick question about the controller. With the new controller (RC2) is there RTMP as an option for streaming the live drone view?!?! I saw on a DJI forms page that it was but I wanted to verify that RTMP is on the drone before I buy it! Thanks so much!
Why not purchase both of them? I already have the mini 3 pro and the air 3 I tried to order the mini 4 pro yesterday but unfortunately DJI store app was out of stock. So I paid bills instead. Maybe next paycheck 😂
Hi, thanks for video. I had Air 2, but I think about Air 3 because is stable in wind more like mini 4 pro. And now, I think on mini 4 pro because is small and has same sensor like air 3, I am little scare from tele camera on Air 3, if it will be good or not. I dont know which one buy.
Coming from the air 1 and air 2. I see absolutely no reason at all to get the air 3. Same camera? Heavier and much more larger drone than previous generations makes this one a hard pass. The mini 4 pro does everything the bigger sibling does at a much smaller form factor. $1100 for a “toy drone” is also a pass DJI will drop the price soon like Xmas soon which will the best time to buy this drone. $1100 is too expensive for a glorified mini 3 non pro
Great review! Which one (Air 3 or Mini 4 Pro) would you recommend for filming boats? I want to take drone footage (video and pictures) of boats for marketing purposes. Thanks!
Can anyone confirm that the ActiveTrack 360 has also been added to the Air 3 . DJI told me yes but I don't trust that the answer they gave me is correct.
Everybody talks about the features of the mini 4 which we already heard in 3 days hundreds of times…. Nobody says anything about the image quality which is the most important thing….!!! Is the sensor the same as the air 3 or not? If not what is the difference?
@@FlytPath Okay. I'm still confuse which one to choose, Mini 4 pro with RC2 or cheaper RC-N2 version. Yeah back then RC1's range sucks compared to RC-N1, some youtuber range tested it. But now RC2 equipped with external antennas, I wonder if it has better range compare to RC-N2. Cheers!
Debatable....All 9 reasons are fail if you need a 70mm camera. Is quieter the Mini 4? Yes....Same things like Air3 on main camera? Yes... But also the stability in wind and the speed is pro Air3, the camera for Air 3 seems to be made better after the failure of Mini 3 Pro that had a fog issue (we still do not know if is fixed in Mini 4)....
I need two reasons for air 3. One is dual camera so that parallax effect is sick! And air 3 doesn't have the 120meter height limit(the mini 4 limit cannot be overridden at all due to European restrictions).
I would like to see a comparison of the Mini 4’s full field of view in vertical versus the Air 3’s vertical crop on 4:3 versus the vertical crop you would get on 16:9.
@@Thechosen77 my experience was with the air 2S. And the noise difference between the 2S and any mini is huge (I had the mini 2, mini 3 pro and now the 4pro). Not sure about the air 3, but my guess is that it does the same amount of noise of air2s.
Perhaps for some people the Mini 4 Pro would be a better choice. Not for me. I chose the Air 3. I live in the Chicago area which is the Windy City.

Can anyone confirm that the ActiveTrack 360 has also been added to the Air 3 . DJI told me yes but I don't trust that the answer they gave me is correct.
nice!... wait your other video says "9 reasons to buy dji air 3 over the dji mini 4."... im confused nowwwwww
If you go from mini 3 pro to the 4. You can use the same batteries, props but not the filters. I can’t wait to get mine tomorrow. Great video.
From what I have read, the Mini 3 batteries are actually slightly heavier than the Mini 4 Pro batteries, so you will end up over the 250 gr limit.
if remote would be compatible with mavic 3 pro then i would upgrade but they are not so i dont have a need
Everybody talks about the features of the mini 4 which we already heard in 3 days hundreds of times…. Nobody says anything about the image quality which is the most important thing….!!! Is the sensor the same as the air 3 or not? If not what is the difference?
Not the same stacked sensor as the air 3, but upgraded from the mini 3 pro. Mentioned in my video.
But, what about 120m altitude cap from the take off point for EU users? C0 label made it practically unusable here
Are drones getting regulated out of so many areas that they are not worth buying?
Are they going to sell just the mini 4 and make it compatible with the mini 3 controller ?
Doubt they will sell it solo. Mini 3 controller prob won’t be compatible with the mini 4 anyways.
Any range test comparison between RC2 and RC-N2?
I've searched across youtube, found nothing.
I don’t plan on doing a range test, but basing on my experiences with the RC2 is wayyyyy better than the RC1. Antennas help a lot.
@@FlytPath Okay.
I'm still confuse which one to choose, Mini 4 pro with RC2 or cheaper RC-N2 version. Yeah back then RC1's range sucks compared to RC-N1, some youtuber range tested it.
But now RC2 equipped with external antennas, I wonder if it has better range compare to RC-N2.
Cheers!
@@Ide2gue rcn2 has no built in screen. You need to use your mobile phone. RC2 has the built in screen.
7:13 you said mini 3 pro.
Debatable....All 9 reasons are fail if you need a 70mm camera.
Is quieter the Mini 4? Yes....Same things like Air3 on main camera? Yes... But also the stability in wind and the speed is pro Air3, the camera for Air 3 seems to be made better after the failure of Mini 3 Pro that had a fog issue (we still do not know if is fixed in Mini 4)....
6 Reasons to BUY the DJI Air 3 over the DJI Mini 4 Pro
czcams.com/video/2RLk8EmQPsM/video.html
Not 4k in vertical on the mini 4. It’s 3k
Ugh. I wish the air had the new active track.
I don’t see why that won’t come to the air 3 and Mavic 3 line ups update.
I just need one to buy an Air 3. It's a better drone. You've already said it.
can you just buy the drone? already have the controller from my mini 2.
no. not compatible.
Until you need that X3.
Air 3 size and sensor is a letdown, air 3 does not at all fit in my camera bag where the Air 2s did. Would have to lose a whole camera lens to fit it.
Size is a big deal when traveling.
Can the Air3 fly above 120 meters in Europe?
I believe so but you will need to check in with some other channels that fly there.
@@FlytPath Thank you!
@@FlytPathYes, similar to the M3P. 500m in the fly app, but allowed only 120m
I need two reasons for air 3. One is dual camera so that parallax effect is sick! And air 3 doesn't have the 120meter height limit(the mini 4 limit cannot be overridden at all due to European restrictions).
Correct
@@User_ccluckily there is Drone Tweaks.
My mini 4 pro has no height limit...yesterday I went over 150m. Im in EU
So in the EU if I get the mavic classic I can fly above 120m but no the mini 4 pro?
hi, just wondering if the new LED light underneath the drone is bright enough to do search and rescue as in a 200 foot light up a big area?
Lol, no.
i think it's time to sell my Air2s for a new Air 3. 70mm camera is tremendous advantage.
or just wait for air 3S.. 1'' sensor
Amazes me the AIR 3 in vertical is only 2.7K rather than 4K
You won’t tell the difference on your phone so shouldn’t matter.. Heck, ppl can’t even tell the difference between 1080p and 4k
@@Jhorne84 I can tell the difference
@@Jhorne84But the field of view is tighter on Air 3 vertical because it’s a crop on 4x3. I care more about that than the resolution
@@PassionPainNDemonsStreetwear Well alright then Mr Eagle eye 👁️
@@ericsturgeon2635 I hear ya.. I actually plan on getting the Mini 4 Pro for Christmas solely for social media content
Love you my crush❤
Just checking in to say that most of you would probably benefit from a Mini 2 bundle from Costco. Thank me later.
I would like to see a comparison of the Mini 4’s full field of view in vertical versus the Air 3’s vertical crop on 4:3 versus the vertical crop you would get on 16:9.
One dosent need 9 reasons to buy it. he needs one, but there is no actual reason to upgrade. its the same stuff. very disapointing.
One of the main reasons to by the mini 4: NOISE LEVEL. Huge difference in this department.
I have the 4, is the air 3 really that loud?
@@Thechosen77 my experience was with the air 2S. And the noise difference between the 2S and any mini is huge (I had the mini 2, mini 3 pro and now the 4pro). Not sure about the air 3, but my guess is that it does the same amount of noise of air2s.
Too bad it’s not Litchi compatible 😢
