DJI Mini 3 Pro - Should You Upgrade To The DJI Air 3?

Good, well made vid.

Nice 2 drones

I came here to check on pros and cons seeing if I should upgrade to a mini 4 pro or air 3
Biggest thing to me - I use it for travel - so I’m hoping most countries are okay with the 250g. Size. And safely flying over people/monuments when allowed.
The omnidirectional tracking on the mini pro4 is what’s going to sell me. I crashed the 3 on its second outing 😂

For someone that wants to buy his first drone which one of those 2 would be the best value for money? do they have big difference regarding wind resistance? and now with the mini 4 pro coming would that make a better choice comparing to air 3? my god so many options...

Not really much of a comparison between the Air 3 and the mini 3 pro. Most people who have a mini 3 pro and are wanting to upgrade their drone will probably choose the mini 4 pro that is being released in a few days. Most mini drone pilots choose the mini series to avoid having to register the drone. Or be remote ID compliant. Even though the mini 3 pro already has Remote ID installed. Unlike my self I have the mini 2 mini 3 mini 3 pro and air 2 and air 2s soon i plan on buying the air 3 and the mini 4 pro and the mavic 3 classic. It’s not about upgrading as it is having multiple drones for different types of flying. And by having multiple drones you can fly more without wearing one out quickly.

Food For thought.Thanks for the comparison review 👏🏽🙏🏽

Does the 48mp mode still suffer from the same chromatic aberrations and colour shifts as much as the mini 3 Pro? It'd be interesting to see seeing as they both use the same omnivision ov48c sensor.

DJI have been quite disingenuous regarding their sensors... The mini 3 Pro and the air 3 use the same omnivision ov48c sensor.

Air 3 is is NOT true 48mp... All the upgrades in the context of photos and videos are in software and not hardware.

I’ve already damaged my DJI mini 3 pro twice. It’s frustrating how easily the arm breaks and I have to send it in for service.

Which is better dji mini3pro or dji air2s?

Superb review Sir!; just two comments; the Mini 3 Pro does have in 4K 3 x digital zoom with very little loss of quality (however not quite as good as the Air3 due to the new sensor); descend speed maybe faster on the Air 3 however many a Drone has crashed due to descending "to fast" ; particularly in high winds due to prop wash !; regardless, we are so lucky to have these amazing Drones and choices!!!!

Hi. Thanks for the video. I like the idea of having FPV with the M3P. Am I right that you can’t use FPV with the Air 3?

The big question is, does the Air support Goggles and the Motion 2 Controller? An Avata Pilot, this is massive for me, I intend to use the Mini for high altitude missions and the Avata for deep forest dives.

In comparing the Mini 3 Pro's vertical 4K video to the Mavic Air 3's vertical 2.7K, is the difference noticeable when compressed to be seen in 1080p? The lack of true vertical video is the only reason I haven't bought the Air 3 yet!

Thank you for making great reviews!

just got my mini 3 pro like a month ago so I rather keep it instead of upgrading to a newer one like the air 3

Air 3 comes out, me buying the mini3 pro (drone only) right this moment😂 more adventures to share with its big bro mavic 3 pro/rc pro..all i can say is the mini 3 pro is damn silent and small i can fly it anywhere not worried about regulations i love this small drone👍

As an Air 2S owner, I will wait for the Air 3S/pro.

So I have been playing around with my air 3 and having a blast. However, I have been wondering on my settings for different modes in gain and tuning etc. I replicated the settings from my mini 3 pro which I got from your settings video on that drone. Do you plan on doing a optimal settings video for the air 3 or is it pretty consistent to run similar settings to the mini 3 pro? Thanks so much for all your content again. You are simply amazing.

One thing that I have not seen covered by anybody: when shooting 360 panoramas, does the Air 3 camera point upwards enough so that also the zenith is covered? Or do you need to fill the zenith in post?

Mini 4 can give all these features n more

Mini 3 Pro all day 🙌🏾

Was going to buy the m3pro in June but had an accident and now this came out . One reason the buy the m3pro is when I’m hiking but that is not often lol . Will have to double check the laws in Sweden before I decide but will prob be air 3. Just wish it had a 1 inch sensor instead of two cameras cause I take primarily photos

Absolutely upgrade!

Very well explained. Appreciate the information!3

Great comparison - more than happy to stick with the Mini 3 Pro

You have great content, "Thank You" I have both of these drones and love both. The Air 3 has great power and speed when needed and the flight time and range are terrific. These two made my 9th and 10th DJI drone of my fleet. I agree though, The Mini 3 Pro gives you freedom that others don't. (My Favorite) Keep up the great work. Hoping the RC 2 will become available for my Air 2S and Mini 3 & mini 3 Pro...

Thank you for making great reviews! Have them both Mini 3 Pro and Air 3. I only wonder how to grab Screenrecording from SD card. And if it is (like it should be) possible to record audio on the controller (like with the RM330 - USB-C) And, then I hope there will be some kind of update that makes it possible to KEEP recording while switching camera/lenses. Besides that - O4 is Great! And the upgraded BSI/stacked sensors are too!!

Air 3 is super nice, but for my needs Mini Air 3 Pro/RC controller is where its at 💯

Nice video..I will be waiting for a DJI Air 3 S coming next year hopefully . :))) The image quality is not good enough to upgrade from the DJI Air 2 S .

❤❤❤

Well, I was completely satisfied with my Mini 3 Pro before watching this… 😄
But seriously, a very interesting comparison, and it's given me some stuff to think about. (I didn't know about the increased vertical speed of the Air 3, that's pretty tempting!)

Air 3 is class C1 so also category A1

It to much money for something that could smash in bits 700 for it his way to high

great video, nice to see lovely Northern Irish scenery, shot of Mussenden Temple or Ballintoy was very impressive. Have you ever sent your drone to Skerries? I had a plan to do it but I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

just subd,,,just got the air 3 gave up on the mini 3 pro

How do you know if the drones do not have coding that can be overrided by someone else?

I like it too much❤❤❤❤❤

the dji air 3 is the best || look at battrey look at new rc 20km go ||| thank you

Surly VLOS over rules the 360 tracking

I would just like waypoints to be added to M3P

M3P is good enough just buy editing software save money all your doing is spending more money for restoration

Very helpfull comparison, still I am up for mini 3 pro cause its super light and yet still powerfull 🙌🚁

I've been flying the Mini 3 Pro for three months. The Air 3 looks like a nice machine, but it doesn't offer significantly more than the Mini 3 Pro. Also, I wouldn't want to lose the quick-flip to vertical format.

proud of my dji mavic pro 😉😉

Nope

Hi good video thanks. No one has been able to confirm if the air 3 can be used FPV…just curious. If any one knows be good to hear. Thanks.

If youre a filmmaker, the air 3 is the obvious choice.
