Thank you for including the noise test in your review , very helpful!
Best reviews on drones.
Always. Thanks.
One of the best long detailed videos about the Air 3 on the net! Thanks!
Excellent video! Very in depth, thank you for covering everything so throughly
I am absolutely mind-blown at how the color profile turned out for the Air 3...not to mention a smaller sensor just absolutely powerhousing details to this level...awesome video, Russ. Thanks for all you do!
Impressive amount of details gathered and discussed in one clip, about the Air 3 (along with the new controller). Kudos Russ 👏👏 And thank you.
Thanks Russ for putting to rest the major concerns of the sensor size. I’m very impressed with the image quality coming out of the air 3
Lots of great information. Thanks for putting it all together in one concise video. Extremely helpful.
Wonderful video, Russ, thanks so much! So well organized and informative. The Air 3 is looking pretty good to me!
Thanks. You made the best review I´ve now seen on YT. Short facts to all functions and specs. Easy to understand and very informal. 👍👍
I'm in New Zealand and a beginner. I have a DJI Mini 2 SE, I've bought an Air 3 Fly more combo. Watching your video has been very informative. A lot to learn especially with the features of the camera. Look forward to watching more of your videos.
Great video! As usual, you covered everything in detail. Makes it a lot easier to decide.
Great video! Appreciate all the detail. Thanks Russ!
Well done Russ! You called it when you said this was coming. As always, very informative and entertaining!
Russ loved the review. Lots of features and seems like it’s going to be a great product. Got mine ordered
The detailed nature of this video earned you a new subscriber 😊
Excellent and informative video, thank you!
Thank you Russ, your hard work is greatly appreciated.
Best review I’ve seen yet… well done, nicely done. Mahalo
Very comprehensive video Russ - thanks. There have been quite a few youtubers reccommending against the Air 3 as it's not too much of a step-up from the Air 2S or Mini 3 Pro and I'm always cautious of the negativity but having watched this twice now I'm convinced it's the one for me. Thanks again.
Thank you for this excellent review!
Great video as usual, Russ! Looks like an amazing drone, and had I not just bought the M3P, I could have saved 50% and gone with the Air 3 and get a better controller with external antenna! Super happy with the battery life on my Mavic, though, so no regrets. Hoping lots of people are inspired by this and flood the market with their Mini 3 Pros so I can pick one up as a cheap second drone for those less-safe flying conditions. LOL
so excited now with my air3 delivery.. thanks for this very informative video russ! helps a lot to us ..and kudos for the efforts you put in your videos ..more power to your channel! God bless always!
Very well done Russ, thanks.
Thanks Russ! Greatly appreciate the detailed info sir!
Dear Russ thanks for the impressive report!!!! Clear and honest !!!!!!!
Thank you. When I get it, I’m sure your settings will be a great starting point !
I’ve watched a number of reviews today but yours was the one that sold me to make the buy. You really nailed it on your detailed categories and I found things that others aren’t talking about. Appreciated it!
Wow, thank you so much!
Hi Russ, well done! Great review! I'd like to see more videos from You about the intelligent fly modes and other stuffs about the new Air3 (that i just buy)!
This is really, really great information. Thank you!
Great review Russ as usual
I was literally talking to my friend about 51 Drones yesterday while surfing! And now the air 3 is out!! excited!! gonna order today.
Excellent video. Thank you 👍
Great video, review. Thanks mate.
Love your videos Russ ! I just bought the mini 3 pro as my first drone !
Always like your videos. And I Love spotting places I know around Minot and surrounding areas. I was hesitant about the Air 3, but after watching this video, I'm pretty sure my Air2s is getting a hangar mate...
Great video thinking of getting an air3 ,thanks for being very informative and interesting
Just sold my phantom 4 pro and ordered an air 3! Thanks for the great review!
thanks for answering my question right off the bat!
Thanks for the great tips I really enjoyed watching your videos
Another great review!
Russ, great review and beautiful videography. Thanks for the hard work! Do they have good walleye fishing in that lake? 😎
Cant wait but still on the fence on maybe waiting on Air 3S. Currently have mavic air 2 but wish I would’ve got the Air 2S. Time will tell. Thanks for the detailed review. Happy Droning. Fly safe
I have the Air 2s and mini 3 pro both do pretty well on active tracking. But here’s a issue that other TH-camrs are having with using active tracking: a few heavy equipment operators using dozers and larger equipment are having difficulties getting the drone to track larger targets than a vehicle. If you decide to do a video on the active tracking try to track an object larger than an average vehicle. If the air 3 will track larger objects then these equipment operators will definitely be interested in upgrading.
Word, thanks man. This was perfect. Mine will be here tomorrow!
First, thank you for the amazing quality, time and effort you put on making this video, I truly appreciate it. Second, you have the personality, disposition and talent to make this kind of video. As a viewer I find your videos informative, a pleasure to follow and rich in content. As for the DJI Air 3, it's as close as it gets to be that "perfect drone" that'll only exist in our dreams. After watching your video I went and ordered one! Thanks
Well there you go. My Mini 3 Pro is almost exactly a year old, Mavic 3 Pro is barely over a week old and now there is this new little beast.
Russ this was a great review, can’t wait to add to my small but growing fleet.
Thank you for another great video.
Thank you Russ, especially on those settings u set. I'm a newbie 😊 I'll try those out.
Hi Russ just a courtesy message to say your latest footage that you created on TH-cam on the new DJI air 3 is absolutely superb. Any information and your comments about it as it’s made my mind up about purchasing one best wishes once again from Alan from the United Kingdom, 👍
Thank you for this review 🎉
I'm looking to get my first drone and this one just jumped to the top of the list. I was looking at the Mini 3 pro, but for a couple hundred more this would be a better option I think. Thanks for the video!
Great video!!! Thanks a lot 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazing review!!! 💪😊
It's a wonderful video. I'm looking forward to the next video.👍
Good introduction video Russ
thanks Russ for the video
Great review!! I will buy the Air 3. I hope soon. 😁😁🖐🖐
awesome thanks for the info, i will definitely be purchasing a DJI real soon
Glad I waited to purchase a drone…. Love all the videos
I was about to buy the Mavic 3 Pro when I ran across the Air 3. I liked the price and the specs seemed close enough that I ordered it. I don’t have it yet and am doing my research while I’m waiting. Every channel I have watched offers some new info others haven’t and I have found yours to hit closer to what I need. I was a commercial photographer for 30+ years and started working with drones over the past two years. I have an Air 2 and a Mini Pro 3. Your video has inspired me to add a video to my channel when my Air 3 arrives.
Amazing. Thanks!
Thanks, Russ! Dobo is excited about this thing too. Perhaps it's time to update from my Air 2.
Wonderful insight and look into this Air 3..much appreciated!....definitely a good drone to consider especially with the "newer" specs and price point..only thing thats a bummer is the fixed aperture..too bad its not variable..better grab those ND filters haha in your experience would you recommend this Air 3 for a beginner? especially since it has good safety features..
good Job Russ
Thanks Russ
Love the video. The flight test against the Mavic 3 Pro sold me.
Quick question though. Please drop the link to your wireless mic. It was great in the wind portion of you video.
Great video. I really do not think I will replace my Air 2S. I fly my mini 3 Pro all the time. Great video sir.
uuummm .. i only counted 48 things to know Russ 🙃 awesome vid, thanks for putting the time & work into this Russ!
Very nice video and useful 👍 --- Here from Denmark 😉
Thank you Russ! Amazing video!! The Air3 looks like a great all around drone, but... You sold me on the Air 2s in the very beginning of the video. There is something about the Air 3 image quality that looks super digital and over sharpened. The Air 2s looks a bit smoother, maybe because of the bigger sensor? Also, the 48Mp photo, is not really 48, it's actually 12, over sampled (4x), and the Air2s is 20Mp.. So for photographers, that could be something to factor in. Anyway, Than you again! Your content is awesome!!
I have the og mavic pro I still love my Mavic but I've ordered the Air 3 I'm super excited.
Russ, very high quality review on the new Air3! I own the mav3 & mini3 Pro.. after this video I want one now but not just for the O4 this Drone stands out in every category! What should I do?? Lol
Thanks for providing the comparison testing! Nice work!
Thanks for addressing the sensor size - my major concern
Great video as always Russ. Did I anticipate receiving a new Air 3 tomorrow? No! Is it a reality? Yes! Thanks for the effort and details put forth to make this video, it's always appreciated.
Thank you for always supporting!
Nice video, I will get the mini 3 Pro
Oh yeah I've been waiting for this "51 things to know" video 👀 🤛🏼
😁. I’m waiting for someone to copy it. 😂
Yes! please do a active track video.
Yours is the first YT review I've seen on the Air3. Thank you so much for making it real world, linear and honest. It's an impressive bit of kit that will now silence alot of keyboard warriors lol. Keep up the great work, mate.
Maybe the first, but is definitely not the most comprehensive.
Amazing video man.
Thank you!
When I got the release notification I went right to your channel. You do a great job covering any details I'd like to know. Do we have to order the charger separately? Great job on the video Russ.
Yes, the charger is a separate purchase. Thanks for supporting!
Despite listening to what you said about the camera being an upgrade, I think it isn't a large enough upgrade. It's like when a new iPhone comes out claiming the camera is better than the previous. Was hoping for a 1 inch sensor with a variable aperture like the M2P. The other features are an upgrade though. Great video, very detailed.
Air 3 Pro will launch next month and you can snag that one 😆
Just get a Mavic 3 Classic then. You can pick one up used cheaper than this
Lots of impressive features on the Air 3 but for me the best thing about the Air 3 is that it made it possible for me to pick up an Air 2S at a steep discount.
Air 2s is better image quality. It has a 1” sensor compared to the air 3 which has a 1/1.3 sensor. Air 2s does 5k, air 3 only does 4k
@@nextlevel_fpv Also the Air 2S can record 5.4k 30fps uhd and 4k 60fps uhd with fhd for 1080p 120/60, 2.7k 60fps too
@@nextlevel_fpvDue diligence on the new bsi stacked sensor . It's a very good technology making a smaller sensor way better than a 1" you get from 2s.
@@zefe3886 All digital camera sensors have had this supposed Stacked stuff you speak of like it's new. Read a book.
Yet he still tries to convince us Air 3 is better than Air2s...
The advanced return to home would have been glorious last week. I had my Air 2S on the volcano in Iceland. And the zoom lens would have save a lot of danger getting close enough to fill the frame.
Awesome informative review. I laughed when I saw the new battery, copied off the bog orange drone. DJI having some competition will really be beneficial for us, the consumer. Yep, I want one!
It seems like a really nice upgrade from the Air2S? Great video Russ!
Thanks Jenna!
I don't think so that it can be good upgrade. In my opinion from air 2s you should upgrade on mavic 3
Would love to see a video on waypoints and keyframes (like the Skydio 2) - thanks for all the info on this!
I just got mine today, and when I saw that gimbal view upwards.... I really wish either the 2 or my M3T could look that far up. I drove to totality during the eclipse hoping to get a drone photo and neither looked up high enough. It was still amazing
200 views in 9 minutes that is so good. Thank you for your work.
Ohh Russ is Gonna get 20k before the day is over
@@jakesdronelife6307 12K you where almost right. But is good still.
I just bought the Air 3 and as a new subscriber to your channel, would really appreciate some in depth tutorials on the additional features and photography/cinematography settings. Thank you!
I am skipping this drone unless the mini pro ever needs replacement. But, I like how informative your videos are and am once again, not disappointed. Thanks again. 👍
Thanks Russ for the update on the Air 3
I have the mini 3 pro and wanted to know what you thought about upgrading to the Air 3 is it worth it for a hobbyist?
Looks interesting coming from a AIr2s. But I cannot find on the DJI website if the Air 3 has Airsense with the ADS-B. This feature is a must have in my area with float planes landing on lakes and have saved me many of times.
I love Peter!
Really comprehensive. TX.
well I guess this is going to be.an awesome drone
Love the hear your input . Just about to pull the pin on a mavic 3 pro but will they start putting the rc2 with it not sure to hold off or not
Right here is the best Air 3 review I've yet seen. Thanks, Russ!
Watching this video while trying to still hold onto my (old now) Mavic Pro 2 zoom. It's hard to don't pull the trigger on the Air 3, after watching your detailed video review though.
Hello sir thank you for the informative tuturial of dji air 3 its so very fascinated video and awesome.👍👍💫❤
Good work man!
ND state fair?
Yep
