So far the best, most direct and most detailed video comparison I've seen on YT. I've had my Air 2S for about one-and-a-half years and the Air 3 looks tempting. Advanced active-tracking, way-points, vertical framing, 360 obstacle avoidance, and the double camera are all important upgrades from my perspective. Thank you for comparing the noise levels. I'm pleasantly surprised the noise levels compare favorably. Thanks for sharing.

I watch your videos from France, they are very useful, because you go into detail and you don't just read the product sheet, keep it up

[jameswilliam]

air 2s owner here but planning to buy air 3 this kind of content really help me out. thanks a lot

[JaHmsZ]

Just returned my mini 4 pro to get an Air 3. Im excited for it to come in

[RonaldBrown]

Good comparison of these drones. The new Air 3 is one of my favorite drones, but the older Air 2s still has plenty of life in it. The 3x tele lens is the killer feature on the new Air 3. Thanks for sharing.

This is a really fantastic video, thank you! I have a second-hand Air2s that I picked up earlier in the year and impressed with the improvement in image from my original Air 2. I would love the Air 3 for the obvious reasons you give but currently can’t afford it. The battery life is the downside I’m finding…. All the best and well done on your quality work, sir! Nick 👊

[brianbathgate]

Great video! Think I’ll wait and see what the 3S / 4 is going to offer, not sold on the 3

[theaprum]

I couldn't ask for a better side by side comparison. That helps narrow my choice to the Air 3. Thanks.

Hi, good comparison, thank you. One huge advantage of the Air 2s is that it has an SDK that lets the Air 2s do mapping applications using apps like Map Pilot Pro.

Great comparison, I loved it. About the Air 3 sensor, each of 12 MP is not divided into 4 to produce 48 MP photos, this is the other way. 4 pixels (photosites actually) are used to produce 1 pixel (48/4=12). And yes the dynamic range is crazy, thanks to stacked design.

[pudsboi]

Yep I’ve got the air 3 coming from the 2s and the air 3 kills it everywhere. Upsets some people but it’s true

[johnk]

Excellent comparison! I have tem both and often I am torn beteen which one to fly!

[garyguest]

Love you videos. Direct and straight to the point. Keep up the awesome work. 😊

[louiefuentes]

Loved this review! Found it very helpful!

[joeamericauavfordav]

Take this with a grain of salt but this sounds like an Air 3 promotion video. The Air 2S still rocks.

[davidcohn]

Excellent review with great presentation skills. Thank you.

[MM-twpu]

Waypoints is available on Air 2S @7:25

[BobCaseyAerial]

Great comparison..I have both and i agree on all your comparisons.
Well done..You came up in my feed. Liked what i saw so i subscribed.

[XXBANSHEEXX]

I feel like this was a bit unfair. The Air 3 was designed and improved upon the Air 2S's shortcomings. Nevertheless, a very well put together, very informative video. Thanks!

[ChinitaMomof]

never judge the sensor on the air 3 because the air 3 has a stack sensor rather than the air 2s has back illuminated sensor so the air 3 has better low light than air 2s
