started off with the Mini 4 Pro and 6 months later got the Air 3. Both very similar and capable drones but to me, the air 3 is slightly better due to it's flight times, heavier weight/wind resistance, top speed, and that zoom lens. The bad is one air 3 battery is 2x the price of a Mini battery. The bigger Air 3 makes you seem more high end/professional when it comes to clients. Visibility of the Air is both good and bad over the Mini. It's much easier to keep track of during the day and night but more visible to people that want to cause you issues during flight. The Mini isn't as noticable and if you sneeze hard enough, you might lose VLOS for a few seconds.
I just got my Air 3 last week and I love it. I also used to have an Air 2S emphasis on used to. I lost my Air 2S to a tree on the side of a Georgia mountain. It was totally my fault. A very expensive mistake. But with my tax return I picked up the Air 3 and I’m already convinced the Air 3 is superior and I don’t miss my old Air 2S at all. This is a great upgrade in my opinion.
Oh no! I agree the Air 3 has been a worthy upgrade so far!
State farm insurance...look into it
Thanks for sharing
An excellent review of a truly fantastic drone. It is worth mentioning that if you are using the RC2 then after flying the Air 3 after you have used up all 3 batteries the contoller then needs charging too. If you use the DJI 100 watt charger yoy can charge all 3 batteries and the charger similtaneously and it is really quick to do. Usually taking around 3 hours. I have absolutely no negative issues with my Air 3. I fly it.a lot and never fail to wonder at the multitude if possibilities that are open to it. A lot of them I have tried. A lot of them I have still to try. I would recommend it to just about anyone.
Thanks! It's great to know if info about the DJI 100w charger, thanks so much for that! I agree, I think about how good this drone is for the price anytime I use it.
Such an awesome review mate! Thank you 😊
Thank you! I hope it was helpful.
As a recent purchaser of the Air 3, I really enjoyed your overview of this great drone. I have been a flyer since 2016ish and have owned many models of the DJI line of drones from the Standard Phantom to the AIR 3. I also have a Mini 3 Pro that I fly where I am restricted with the standard license here in Canada. I used to own the Air 2 and I see quite a big difference with the Air 3. Thanks again for your honest review.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the overview of the Air 3 and found it helpful. I'd also love to have a Mini 3 Pro for the smaller footprint. Happy flying 🚁
Love it!!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I have to say I’m loving the Air 3 so far. I also have the original Mavic 3 . The zoom lens on the Air 3 is far better than the telephoto lens on the original Mavic 3 in my opinion. It’s a solid drone
I totally agree! That's the only problem with companies coming out with so many iterations of things, it really makes it hard to commit to new products. Original Mavic 3 just was a weird time and got so quickly replaced 😢
Awesome breakdown !! I am looking in to getting Air 3 now and you helped me set my mind !
That's awesome, really glad it was helpful. Everyone has different needs but the Air 3 is such an incredible drone for the money!
@@VideoVo-Tech I am currently using the DJI avata and I love it but I want the traditional cinematic drone in my bag haha
AIR3 GANG 🛸💯👽
Ayyyy 💯🚀🎥
Nice drone 😊
Very nice!
@@VideoVo-Tech yes it is 🇮🇩
I have the mini 4 pro only u
pgrade or additional drone that would make sense for me is the Mavic 3 series
I really thought about the M4P! The size seems like it'd be such a fun drone to have.
@@VideoVo-Tech it does almost everything a bigger drone does except for zoom but I mostly use it for travel videos and music videos so no zoom needed but it follows my car and has MasterShots All types of features that beginners can use for cool shots
I was saving up for a mavic 3 pro till I ran across a air 3 brand new with the rc2 fly more kit for 200 bucks...I stole this thing.
Sounds like you almost literally stole it 🤣
Most people aren't upgrading every year. Thats crazy. Unless there's a major jump in tech without a major jump in price
I totally agree! As a business, the small jumps in tech still have a large impact by saving me time and energy, so I'm always having to look into things and weigh the pro/cons.
Sir vision sencer how to clabration
It looks like the Air 3 Auto Calibrates the vision sensor and there isn't a manual way to do it.
I was looking at the mini 4 pro. But i like 700 grams over 249. Wind becomes a non issue.
Mini 4 Pro looks like it would be more fun to own! The Air 3 makes more sense for me from a versatility aspect. I'd love to have both though!
im good with the mini 4.
Mini 4 looks awesome! For paid work, the 70mm definitely makes the Air 3 a better option for me to get shots that I couldn't before. I'd love to have a M4P or even a M3P though.
@@VideoVo-Tech there's a wide angle adapter for the mini 4. Not exactly the sae tho.
@@technodrone313 good point though, I want to get the one for the Air 3! There's really no bad drone options with all the major ones now.
yep even the mini 2 se for 300 bucks is going to produce a halfway decent video@@VideoVo-Tech
Running down a battery to 30% ruins it?
🤔
Hi! It doesn't hurt the battery, but I meant that on the Air 2s after a flight I'd often have 30% left on a battery. That meant you could have 5-10 Minutes of flight time left and it was hard to use that battery again without it putting me in a situation where the drone was threatening to auto-land mid flight. If you are doing short controlled flights it may not matter.
antiroll-back firmware - pass.
not compatible with RC-Pro -pass
smaller sensor size - pass.
night mode is cartoon-like -pass
size -ok
weight -ok
speed and range -OK.
I would argue that the night mode isn't cartoonish at all especially the 70mm. It is auto ISO and baked in NR which could deter a lot of people but as far as image quality it is very usable. Understandable though if it doesn't check your boxes!
Surely the pro controller will not support further drones. Maybe time think about selling.
