Basically it comes down to this…
Mini 4 Pro: Under 250g & true vertical shooting
Air 3: Better battery, better wind resistance, dual camera

[GeneXiles]

Air 3 for me. The 70mm lens and better speed and weight in wind conditions make it an easy choice. If you want to do any semi professional or even professional work, the 70mm lens with the stacked sensor is a game changer. DON'T fall for the sensor being "smaller" than the Air2S. I own both and the 2S is now just backup. Both the Air3 and the Mini4 are great drones, but the Air3 has more versatility and can be used in more scenarios.

[OriginalThisAndThat]

Im rocking with mini 3 pro and going to get my Air 3 today. Main reasons for upgrade was O4 system, waypoints, 70mm, flying time, log M. ..and many more reasons.

[ozandytravel]

As someone who already has the mini 3pro I was initially considering upgrading to the 4 pro. However the Air3 won out as I now have two platforms that have different strengths. The 70mm camera is not only great for the new shots it opens up but it gives you the ability to get shots at a much greater distance which both offsets the higher noise and safety considerations which may be present if using a 24mm lens which requires the drone to be much closer to the subject.

didnt think i was going to use telephoto that much.. but i was set to get the air 3. turns out, i use it all the time and its amazing.

[RonaldBrown]

For me, I’m going with the Air 3. I’m in the US, so the 250 gram weight isn’t important to me. Great video, and thanks sharing Mike.

[ricardoguerrero]

You missed a very important comparison: LOW LIGHT VIDEO. IS THE AIR 3 better in colors and and visibility at night ? Can you do. Video comparison with night shots?

I have come from flying drones for the sake of flying and building them, to beginning to do photography with them. I liked the look of the Mavic 3 series, especially the pro, of course... but the cost was very high, I couldn't justify spending that much on one drone. The obvious answer was not to buy ONE drone (haha)... I was tossing up between the Air 3 and the Mini 4 pro... the Air 3 won... then the Mini 4 pro won... then the Air 3 won again (and so did the Mini 4 pro) so I did the only thing I could possibly do... I bought both! When people ask which is my favorite, I say the one by DJI is my favorite. I am a beginner (in drone photography)... my advice to someone wanting to get into the hobby, either will be perfect, whichever you get you will be happy with... whichever yo get, you will wish you got the other... so, do what I did, buy one then save up for the other as well!

Great informative video as always. 😃 Thank you!

I see the sensors are the same on the two drones, but in the side by side examples you showed, I noticed that the Air 3 looks a bit sharper in my opinion. The footage from the Mini 4 Pro seemed a bit blurry and less detailed. Is this because of YouTube-compression or do you notice it in your unedited files?

About the 70mm I like the new look. The only thing that makes it seem a bit «un-cinematic» in my eyes, is that everything is in focus. I would like some more depth of field when you have the oportunity to use a 70mm.

Love your videos! Have a great day!

[Yukehomestead]

I have the mini 4 pro even with the added plus battery it’s still about 30 min, but not regrets

Had a mini 2 prior & mavic 2 pro

[ClassAves-hvps]

I upgraded from the mini 3 to the air because of the telephoto lens. It has not let me down.

[mountainmantesla]

You forgot about speed. I need as much soeed as possible for filming race footage. I am afraid to go with the mini because of this.

[trixiarobles]

I just sold my mini 2 and still torn between upgrading to mini 4 pro and air 3.. Your video helps me a lot. Very informative. As a season droner, maybe I will go for mini 4 pro this time because it's more handy and of course it's cheaper than the Air 3. 😅

[Censtudios]

Wow wait a second. I'm not so sure they have exactly the same sensor. They are the same sensor size and Mini 4 has updated software and hardware. Haven't found anything on the official channels though that the Mini 4 also has a Stacked CMOS sensor like the Air 3.

[ronaldwilson]

I live in the Chicago suburbs and Chicago is the Windy City for a reason. My first drone was a Mini 2 which I still have and love. The problem is that I can’t fly every day I want to with my Mini because of our frequent high winds. I chose the Air 3 for my upgrade primarily because it’s heavier and can withstand much higher winds than my Mini. The larger batteries and the second camera are just a bonus too.

[Al-Kwadrone]

Good comparison!
I wish dji could give us a sub 250g with that 70 millimeter lens option…🤷🏼‍♂️

[funkyboogiee]

can we put 3rd party mapping software on the new controllers. I wasnt able to be done on the Smart Controller and Mavic 2 pro which is still the system I'm running. Considering something new maybe. A regular phone controller can run the apps, but I'd have to get one of those controllersa and I'm gonna also have to spend a couple hundred to get the M2pro Remote ID compliant as well.

[MLHunt]

Nice comparison. Very useful explanation of the tradeoff points between the two drones.

In my case the Mini 4 Pro matched my needs better. I do a lot of close in flying in wooded areas and parks, etc. so the M4P's smaller size and omni-directional obstacle avoidance make it a far better choice for me. But I do envy the 70 mm lens on the Air 3.

[Redhilux]

Do they both have the same obstacle avoidance?
