I am a number of aerial photographers that rely on DJI drones, and it always amazes me how photography is often forgotten in videos in favour of video comparisons.

Right to the point, covered all the bases, and enjoyable to watch! Great comparison.

I use mine professionally & opted for the Mini 3 Pro this generation after having Mavic Pro 2 and P4P previously and while the Mini has been perfectly suitable for my needs & frankly amazing (and you get harassed far less with the smaller quieter drones) I had been contemplating the jump to the Mavic 3 Pro mainly for the tele lens, but also a bit more stability and things like waypoints. The Air 3 is such a great fit for creators like me. The quality is more than enough, having the tele is super handy and it's rock solid. I used it in 50+kph winds and it's perfectly stable (while the treetops are swaying around like crazy)

photos from the air 3 air really 12 mp. the 48mp have a lot of purple fringing etc

This is exactly the video I was looking for, heavy on facts, can make up my own mind, but you're not scared of sharing your own opinion. Danke

Great video. I just got the air 3 fly more combo today. This is my 4th drone as i have the mini 3 pro, the mavic 3 classic, avata, and now this. I'm really looking forward to getting it in the air.

No one else got the “Get to the choppa” reference? Lol

I bought the Air3 fly more and it's amazing.

[ronaldwilson]

I’d love to go with the Mavic 3 Pro but to get the fly more bundle would be almost 3000 dollars. So I will probably go with the Air 3 bundle at half that price.

Good video man. I’ve got a mini 3 pro and i thought about jumping to the mavic 3 pro.. think I’ll do the air 3 first and see what happens!

[andronerson]

Good review, however, not covered are the zoom capabilities of the Mavic 3 Pro vs Air 3. Unless I missed it.

[alexli]

I mentioned the 70mm cameras are the same. After reading the specs, I don’t think they are. The air 3’s 70mm can be up to 100fps while mavic 3 pro’s 70mm is only up to 60 fps. I suspect the mavic 3 pro is still using a non stacked sensor CMOS

The Air 3 is out… so I bought a Mavic 3 Classic. And it came with a charger, a much more capable sensor, and overall better performance. I didn’t buy into the hype because I know in 6 months to a year they’re gonna have the real successor to the Air 2S. The Air 3 Pro. Y’all should wait. Im glad to know that I’m future proofed with my M3C

[AhmadFPV]

Also, the air 3 3x lens has night mode

[ronaldwilson]

It’s probably worth the price, but as a recreational pilot who doesn’t make any money from my drone I can’t justify the price. 1500 for my Air 3 was all I could afford. Maybe if I hit the lottery.

[everonproducties]

To me the 3 pro is worth it because of the log mode, im mixing it in with fx6 footage and for grading I almost dont even notice a diffrence. I can use my fx6 luts on the 3 pro with no issue
