      My air 3 comes this week, I’m coming from a original mini 1 , and still have a air 2S but I just bought it couple weeks ago and I’m still within my return policy so I will compare this week but from what I see already on reviews I’ll probably still will be returning the air2S. .

    You might have underestimated the sensor. Drone youtubers who actually have the drone are raving about the image quality. No way DJI was gonna give you a downgrade in image quality over the Air 2s regardless of the smaller sensor. I had the Air 2s and sold it because of it's 17 minute real world flight time. When are you going to purchase and test the Air 3 so you can answer the many questions you posed in the video? Cheers.

    MA2 Form factor(size/weight) was perfection. Was still just small and light enough with a couple batteries that it was easily transported in a backpack already laden with other electronics, and would still fit under an airline seat. I’ll continue to make due with the mini(nano+). Also irritated that the MA2 wasn’t added to RID.

    • @Reviews4fun1

The waypoints and extended flight time is huge too. I’m keeping my nano+ for an additional option. (Had a flyaway and crash already w nano+)

I ask DJI customer service about Air 3 compatibility with RC Pro and they don’t have 100% confirmation, but maybe later RC Pro can support latest O4 drones including Air 3 after firmware and DJI Fly updates if available. Otherwise, DJI should release RC Pro 2 with O4 support.

    The only thing putting me off is the FOV. The Air 3 has the same 82 degree FOV as the mini 3 as the Air 2s has 88 degrees. I don't think the Air 3 is an upgrade to the air 2s. I think it is more of a side grade. meaning it has pros and cons.

    Yo X i agree with what you said early on in the vid. "When OcuSync first came out, that was mind blowing because everything back then was flying wifi and thar is a pain". My first drone was the Mavic Mini 1 which guess what....used Enhanced Wifi 5.8 Ghz. I couldn't fly too far out or at times would get stuttery video even when flying straight up because i was in a wifi congested area. When i took the jump up to the M3 Standard thats on OcuSync 3.0 i was freaken blown away as i could fly further and had solid video down to my phone on my RC-N1

    Ascent and (more important!) descend speeds are just mindblowing! Imagine what this drone is capable of, if height limit removed. I already have Air2s with removed height limit, and high altitude shots are pretty awesome, but with it's limited flight time, I fear to push it higher than 1,5-2km.

  • @h-dawg969

    They should have put this out first and then put the Mavic 3 pro out (with occusync 4) because now it feels really weird that the flagship top of the range drone, the 3 pro, which has only been out a couple months is now top on older system.
    I have been considering the Mavic 3 pro but don’t know now if this is a better option.

    I would love to see a side by side with the Air 2S. I feel the Mavic 3 Classic pricing is close to the Air 2 and size. The form factor of the MA2 and MA2s were perfect. I'm really liking the MIni 3 Pro with the RC Remote. Like all new drones, give it time to send firmware updates.

  • @LandOverview
    @LandOverview Před 11 měsíci

    My Air 3 combo with the RC 2 came yesterday yet to try it out but since it has 3 frequency bands supposedly although I only saw 2 appearing on the transmission menu (2.4ghz,5ghz, dual maybe it means 5 to 5.8ghz which includes the new 5.1ghz who can tell) when checking it out in house, it probably means that it has a hardware difference which can’t be updated by firmware for RC Pro depending on what type of chips are used in it. I sold my Mini 2 and Air 2 which did not work with RC Pro anyway but kept my Air 2s and Mavic 3 especially as Mavic 3 has C1 certification available for EU use and now this Air 3 has the C1 certification stickers on it out of the box. No big deal in US but for EU it makes a difference. But Although that 5.1ghz band is an addition on the new RC 2 it still has the same two bands that the RC Pro has so you would think that it could be made backward compatible with the Mavic 3s, Air 2s and Mini 3s so who knows, I asked a DJI service person, they told me it would not work with the previous models but then they are not the technical staff and maybe DJI will decide later how to play the matter?

However, a better camera would be fine and I expect the Air3S will have an even better camera than the Air3. I'm waiting for that. Another option would be the M4P - but there is still no reliable information on the specifications.

    My new Air 3 is on its way back to DJI with a major issue it’s had since it’s first flight. Huge banking angle and lateral movement with the slightest of input on the stick. Even in Cine mode with the rates so low as to be barely available. The maiden almost ended in a catastrophic disaster. DJI have been VERY quick in getting a replacement ready for when mine actually arrives back at their Dutch site. (I’m in Scotland)
    Still did manage half an hour or so flights and have to say the video quality is unreal.

    What? It's a back side illuminated STACKED SENSOR. It is not "the same as the Mini 3". Also, O4 is a huge improvement over standard O3, like on the Air 2s and a decent gain on O3+ like on the Mavic 3. The damn RC Pro updates are already rolling out to make it compatible. Geez Xavier... I'm disappointed.

    • @xavier_arthur
      @xavier_arthur  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Huge improvement means, I could never go back!
      Since the original ocusync I never really had many complaints!
      When I looked at DC rainmakers Video, he said he spoke with DJI and they told him it was the same sensor from the Mini 3 (which produces a very good image quality) with better algorithms and modifications.
      So I've been hearing about the backside illumination and stacked sensor but I haven't seen DJI release a statement confirming that yet!
      Apart from that, you know Air3s is coming with a bigger sensor!
      Even if compatibility with the RC Pro comes out, it will be limited at 03, and we will be missing out on that huge 04 upgrade as you call it!
      Don't be disappointed, keep it rational.
      When DJI releases anything new and groundbreaking, better believe it will have a new name 🤫
      For example Wi-Fi to lightbridge, then ocusync to.............
      Air 3 is a great drone, and I did highly recommend it 💪
      But you know the innovation never stops, and if you look at my fleet, I'm not a first iteration type of person, I never liked and kept the original mavic 3, but I do love the pro!
      I never kept the original Air 2, but I did love and keep the Air 2s, as I'm sure, I will love the A3s and we'll have all the extra benefits like 04 to look forward to with a better camera 😃

The Air3s is a dream but I agree it's possible. However, let me remind you how everyone was claiming there was going to be a Mavic 3S... Obviously, there might be an Air 3 Pro next year and if you already have a bunch of drones, you might want to wait. However, if you keep the mind set that you're waiting because another new drone might come out, you'll never buy anything. There will always be a next drone... Wait until you see the Mavic 4!

My budget would love to get jumped at with a Air 2S, drone only. I would be able to not only use my batteries. I also can fly with my RC from the Mini 3 Pro. But there’s this problem with the certification. Drones above 250 g will be banned to the open field here (in Europe, running the EASA rules) if they don’t have this C-sticker. That’s why a post certification of the Air 2S would made happy a lot of customers. Without this post-certification DJI promotes the newer drones. In this case the Air 3. Therefore I‘ll wait and may still go with the Air 3. But wait, there’s this FOMO. For my personal purposes as a hobbyist the Air 2 is still very good. In d-cinelike I can edit in post my footage and for YT n fb with their compression everything runs! FOMO = fear of missing out.

    I'm still holding on to the Air 2s. I can see all advantages of upgrading to the Air 3 or Mavic 3 pro but DJI did such an amazing job with the Air 2s, that it really fits nicely with most drone pilot's needs. I am not a professional but love to explore landscapes and make great photos and videos. I film mostly Dlog in golden hour or sunrise/sunset and the results are still fantastic. If you are into night videography, however, I would seriously consider the Air 3 or Mavic 3 since the footage looks universally better than Air 2s.

      Also Stacked and backside illuminated is great but it's still 12 megapixels and it still tops out at 4K, and for a drone that size I'm looking for an adjustable aperture as well.

    I have the Mavic 3 Classic. The Air 3 has the all features of the Mavic 3 Classic. So spending over $1300 for the Air3 with the RC2 to have an 70mm fixed aperture lens makes the 70mm lens the most expensive 70mm lens ever. If you don’t have the Mavic 3 that’s different.

    Ocusync 4 is a huge deal. Forget range. I just got and Flew the Air 3 first time. Biggest take away? Occusync 4 is order of magnitude better in urban environment. Not sure where all this 5.1/5.2 ghz band talk is coming from. It's 2.4 and 5.8, JUST LIKE O3/O3+ - it does, however kick it. It's BETTER than my AlienTech Duo II. - YES. Think about that. Better than a dedicated 3981mw (double RC Pro) boosted antenna costing upwards of $500. Food for thought.
    By the way Occusync IS technically WiFi. With rolling channel/frequency hop. Its very well designed, and can't be called WiFi, but in essence is closer to WiFi 6 than you might expect.

      @Jhorne84 "Liking the idea" and being angry over it are two different things. A lot of people are presenting this as if their old remotes are suddenly junk now that the new one is out. BTW neither the RC2 nor the RC-N2 save multiple drones so you'd have to pair it each time you switched. The RC Pro was designed for people that want to use a remote with multiple drones.
      These drones came with remotes. Most people have bags or cases that they keep their drones in. These cases have slots for remotes. You can only fly one drone per remote at a time.

      I've heard one CZcamsr say backlit and stacked, and I've heard another CZcamsr say same as Mini 3 but with special algorithm!
