- The DJI Air 3 is an incredible drone but just how far can we push it? By testing the limits of the Air 3 we find out exactly how good the 4k footage is, how good the photos are and exactly what this drone from DJI can handle.

Jake that was an unbelievable video. Love the new style and review of the air 3 . It’s like one of your old video that you did about about the glacier. The landscape and the way you shot it didn’t even seem like a review more like a movie trailer . Well done 👍
Thank you so much!
Awesome Footage. I want to come back up to Alaska for some more exploring.
YES, yes you do, I also need to get down there and go out to Moab with you
While the Mini series is amazing, there's something about the Air 3 that always seems smoother and more cinematic
I completely agree
Such a great review Jake, super well done!
Thanks a ton!
I'm pretty excited about the Air3. The image quality - even in photo mode - is pretty good for the small sensor. Despite the problems mentioned, I work in 48 megapixel mode, I can correct mostly of the fringing/ca problems.
My main criticisms:
- no automatic panorama possible with the 70mm lens...
- with the 70mm lens you can only take 3 pictures in AEB mode and you cannot choose how much the exposure changes. 5 images would be absolutely necessary, even if saving them takes longer.
agreed! I am hoping a future firmware update solves some of those criticisms
Just incredible Jake as always ! I like both formats
Awesome, thank you!
Best Air 3 review I' ve seen. Thank you Jake. Great work!!!
My pleasure!
I continue to be amazed how far we've come with gear like this. Incredible shots, great video.
RIGHT? I keep thinking back to the original Air and how it had like 12 minutes of flight time and a terrible wifi control signal that could barely go a couple of blocks lol
Or the Air 2 which was much better but..... still so bad for night shooting
Great review and beautiful shot Jake.
Thanks Lyn!!
Great review! The footage was unreal! Love watching your reviews🙌🙌
Thanks so much!!
Fabulous Jake! Great review!👍👍
Thank you!
Wow! Jake. Just amazing and out of this world footage. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing video and review Jake. The footage is amazing and with that music..goosebumps all over 👌.
Thanks Bart!!
GREAT intro Jake..superb! ANOTHER awesome video..
Glad you liked it!!
Wow, great review video, Jake! I like seeing the drone "in action" with all the cool shots you got. That's pretty cool that Freewell developed the split ND filter allowing for the different f-stops on the 2 cameras!
Thanks Mark!
If this isn't the best demonstration of how to put together a quality drone review video, then I don't know what is.
From the always breathtaking video, the 'short & sweet' tech specs, to the in depth talk of the more important features (and the lack there of), not to mention the excellent story telling approach, Jake you continue to raise the bar and give others like me the inspiration and insight on how to do it right. 💯 Kudos my friend 👏👏
Thank you so much! Cheers!!
Really great review. And cinematically beautiful. I appreciate your candor on both the high points and the lows. Great stuff.
Much appreciated!
dude....this has got to be one of the BEST reviews i've seen in ANY drone. Thanks for this captivating, detailed, and well-executed video, Jake!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
This is the best review and you timed the release of it perfectly. I love the non traditional approach you took to tell your story and this was executed flawlessly. Cheers Jake!
Thanks so much!! It was a lot of work but WAY more fun lol
Great, no nonsense review. Some stunning scenery, beautifully shot. The music really worked with the footage too. Cheers.
Thanks very much!
Absolutely beautiful review there Jake
Thank you Steven!
Jake awesome video! Your skills make it look easy. Thanks you!
Thanks Steve
Excellent review. Thanks for the effort
You’re welcome
The makeshift ND was genius!
Thank you!
This video is awesome, Best drone review I have watched in a while.
Thank you so much
cracked up at 0:55 -- "...push the limits ... errr ... que DJICare"
Jake this is some of your best content I've seen, and perhaps some of the best on YT. Great production value, cohesive collection of shots, and a pleasure to watch. In the world of YT these days and all of the well-lit specification readers, this vid was truly refreshing 👏👏👏
ROFL yeah I was hoping that would give someone a laugh 😁
Great overview and incredible photography. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great review! Loved the waypoint shot @4:05
That is literally one of my top 10 shots of all time lol I was SO stoked when I got it
This is an amazing review! Love your storytelling. The footage you got is just stunning 👏
Thank you
A completely different level of review, I liked it, thank you very much. 👍🏼👌🏼
Eran
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic story telling. This is definitely one of the best reviews on the air 3 out right now
Thanks so much!
very good review. as always, great scenery. keep doing them this way.
Thanks and thats the plan!
Great review- really liked it! Loved the birds-eye shot @4:50
Thanks a lot!
Great stuff! As always a nice review.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Jake, even though I have been owning the Air 3 since its release and know all the things you talked about, I really enjoyed watching this. I've been following you for quite some time now. Your reviews and videos in general are always in depth and give the impression that you're really working a lot with drones and know what you're talking about. Love the style of the video. Keep it going.
Thanks so much!
@@JakeSloanJake, may I ask what kind of camera you used to get that shot at 1:46 and how you attached it to the drone arm? I have seen such shots a few times but can't figure out how this works... 🙂 Thanks in advance, I appreciate your help.
Jake, WOW is an understatement. Such a masterful video! Stunning imagery, with such a variety of shots! You have set a new benchmark for drone review videos. I strongly recommend DJI contract with you to create/produce the video introducing their next new drone to the drone community. This was just beyond words....
WOW thank you so much for the kind words!!
Great video ! I'm going to buy the LUT
Thank you!
Jake, Great review and great video. I really appreciated your prospective on these tools of the trade. To the point and not a lot of "pre-paid" fluff. Very much appreciated. I've been thinking Air 3 but I believe I will stick with the reliable Air 2S for a while longer. Thank for sharing.
Thanks Joe, if you like to do a lot of photo work the Air 2s is still better and the video out of the Air 2s is still outstanding
Incredible video sir I love all of your videos keep learning from you Please keep uploading more videos about drone thankyou so kuch for all information in this video 🙏
Thanks and will do
An informative and absolutely stunning video. Based on this review I have ordered the Freewell filters you presented. Cheers from Wisconsin, Jake.
Awesome and thanks George
Simply amazing video! Natgeo you got competition!
Wow, thanks!
Great video, like the style of presentation and content. There are enough videos on TH-cam offering details about spec etc. looking forward to your next presentations and thank you very much for your efforts in producing them.
Thanks!
Great and really helpful real world review. Just would love the scenery you have around you to fly in!! Thanks Jake.
Thank you so much
nice presentation thanks for sharing all this amazing job
Thanks for visiting
This review is simply next level! Incredible!
Thanks a lot!
Amazing like always from you
thank you
Beautiful video and review
Thank you
Best advert for the air 3. I’ve just bought one and loving it. I use the 3 photo bracketing for my pics and they are turning out brilliant
Awesome! yeah bracketing really makes them pop!
Great Photographer, thank you! Great video and content!
Much appreciated!
Jake you're review just blew my mind, absolutely amazing, dji must add you to their list of reviewers all of your footage was just stunning and better than any other reviewer.
Thank you so much
Hi Jake....What can I say. You really knocked this one out of the park. The amount of effort to do all this is just for a review is unheard of. Thanks for all you do......
Thank you so much Jim, it was a TON of work but well worth it in the end
Wow , one of the best reviewers on TH-cam so far . You should be more recognized great job
Thank you very much!
Awesome video, I really enjoyed the fabulous scenery you have in Alaska, well done. I was unaware of the split filters, I will be ordering them tomorrow even though I have the eight pack of the Freewell filters for my Air 3. As always great video content.
I'm glad to hear it was helpful!
REFRESHINGLY GOOD REVIEW highlighting the features that actually matter (or don’t, like 48 MP photos) from someone that has obviously spent a good amount of time with this drone. Thank you!
Thank you very much!!
this is the best review ever do more like this!
That's my plan!
WoW....I live in Alaska and all that to be discovered especially with eyes in the sky is amazing. I just got the Mini3 Pro and exploring my surrounding but nothing like you portray with your videos. I liked and enjoyed this review cause im wanting the Air3 now even though i just got the mini3 Pro :D
lol thanks a lot!
Honestly, that was a fantastic review. Pro level all the way. What a beautiful planet we live on!
It really is!
👍exellent review, best footage I have seen from the air3, If I was DJI you would be the first on the list I would send a new drone to review, well done Jake.
Thank you very much!
Brilliantly done ❤
Thank you!
Spectacular video greetings from the UK
Thank you very much!
I’m not gonna lie Jake you’re one of the best creators in the business. Not only did you just sell a DJI Air 3 to me. But man the cinematic genius in this video is outstanding. I’ve was smiling and enjoying this video from beginning to end! Great stuff man 🧍♂️
Thank you so much Alex!
Your footage is just amazing!!
Thank you so much!
This was a great review
Thank you!
Amazing review!
Thanks!
Wow this video was amazing!
Thank you so much!
I'm very happy to see your opinion on this new drone. Your opinion is so positive - it sounds like you are sponsored, even though you say you are not. I now own this A3, and I am one happy camper with what this A3 is capable of, so It's a pleasure to hear you are as well. Thanx for your honest evaluation!
You're welcome! It is a fantastic drone with just a couple of issues like the photos but other than that the air 3 is an amazing drone for most people
I remember when I started watching your videos. I was still new to creating videos and photos back then. I tried to learn how ND filters work, I watched various videos and there were only comparisons and I didn't know what to pay attention to. When I came across your video, you explained everything to me within a few minutes of the video. I started watching you from then on. You are the only creator who records different videos than everyone else. the area in which you record, the fact that you arrive there by helicopter makes your films better than those of other creators I watch. I would like to make videos like yours one day. And this video is probably the best one you've ever made. If you didn't mention the disadvantages of this drone (of course, it's good that you showed them), you would probably convince me to buy it more than DJI did when presenting it.
Thank you so much! I do talk about the issue with the 48mp photos and a few other downsides but other than that this drone really is an incredible tool for most people, if you mainly do photos with drones then the Air 2s or Mavic 3 classic will be a better choice
@@JakeSloan i record videos most of the time and i bought a drone feom dji recently and i am watching your videos to learn something new and be updated on the "ranking" of camera equipment
Hi Jake! Great show on TNL and yes, you do kind of resemble David Morse. Alaska has endless beautiful landscapes that can also be dangerous and unforgiving. Thank you for taking the time, money and risks involved to show it to me and the rest of the world. Also, how the Air 3 can enhance the viewing experience of drone photography. Thanks to you I can improve my Air 3 footage from the info you provided about the dual lenses needing dual ND filters. Be safe. Sincerely, Brendan AKA: Drone Me Up 😎👍
awesome so glad to hear it!
Interesting to hear your take on the 12 vs 48Mp images. I guess I'm going to have to get out and take some comparison pics. Thanks for the review and all the stunning footage.
You're welcome definitely go do your own testing and see what works best for you
Enjoyed the review my brother
Much appreciated
WOW Jake,... WOW!!!!
Thanks!
Great review Jake, can't wait to see some earlier premieres from you once DJI realizes they're slacking on an Alaskan Gold Mine here. ✌🏻
You and me both!
Awesome video! My Mini Pro 3 got damaged. I was flip flopping back and forth on this as a replacement and the mini 4 pro. I ordered the Air 3 last night and your video this morning was confirmation I made the right choice.
glad to hear it!
Great video, spectacular footage. I visited Alaska from the UK back in 2010 for a month and would sell my soul to have had a drone back then - so beautiful. Thanks for the unbiased review. I'm still holding out for the 1" sensor version 👍
that will be amazing! I'm glad to hear you had a great trip here!
Love it keep it up
Thanks! Will do!
Nice, I have 2 mav 3 pro and a mini 3pro gave away my others units, trying to figure out if this worthy
If you have mavic 3 pros then I’d say no. The image out of the main camera on yhe mavic is better by a fair bit and the 70 is exactly the same BUT you also get that 166! The weight savings and size savings is minimal between the two
This was absolutely stunning, I hardly even recognized some of the locations that I'm well acquainted with.
Awesome! Always good to hear that lol
Well done on an incredible video Jake. I have to say though, now I've had my Air 3 for a couple of weeks (having only just got an Air 2S a month prior), I am a little disappointed with the 24mm image quality in comparison to the Air 2S. I knew to expect it being not as good as the Air 2S thanks to yours and FlytPath's comparison videos but now seeing my own footage side by side, it's even more of a significant difference than I was thought (maybe due to TH-cam compression?). It generally just looks like when you zoom/crop in that bit too much, just at the point where it starts looking noticeably worse. For example my first reaction to seeing the footage I had to double check that I had actually recorded in 4K and that I wasn't digitally zoomed in. The thing is I don't have any complaints about the image quality coming off the 70mm so I thought maybe there is a defect either with the 24m lens, sensor or the autofocus but having watched many more videos I'm pretty sure there isn't any issue with it. Why I can't pick fault with the 70mm I'm not sure because the sensor I believe is identical, maybe it's down to the aperture?
I hate to be one of those guys that criticise something which as you've proven here can produce amazing video footage but I can't help but be a little disappointed with it relative to the Air 2S image quality. It's just a shame because it is a brilliant drone and it's better than the Air 2S in every other way, I guess it gives them something to improve on with the Air 3 Pro.
There are definitely some tricks to get it to look the best, video coming on that soon
@@JakeSloan Great, look forward to it👍
Take that DJI! lol Great video. Quality was unmatched!
hahahaha thanks
Almost all of your shots were spectacular, the rest were great. I think you made the Air 3 look better than it probably is. Well done.
Thank you very much
Great video @jakesloan!
Thank you Ryan!
"The Air 3's D-log M yields rich and bold colors and because it's 10-bit (BGM goes silent)...............the footage can be pushed surprisingly far" enter LOUD EPIC GRANDIOSE MUSIC....5 seconds later....Ad. Gee thanks TH-cam for having impeccable timing on the Ad placement.
😂 jokes aside...Jake.....such an epic video review on the Air 3. Stunning clips with amazing views of you on the rocks with a reveal of a lake off in the distance. The music too just helped drive just how beautiful and amazing the footage captured by the A3 can be. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Oh and you're right. Just like you said earlier, "the footage speaks for itself
hahahaha thank you so much!
NOBODY does a review like Jake does!
Thank you so much!
Superb work Jake and worth the wait! More results driven than spec comparison. Air 3 seems to polarize folks. I've noticed that owners of Mavic 3 Series love it; how it brings many of the Flagship's features into a lighter, agile aircraft at half the cost vs. those who just don't get it. They begged for longer flight times in the Air Series, then unhappy it's heavier than Air 2S. Must have slept through physics class - the weight gain is all battery. With the alloy arms like Mavic 3, the aircraft is likely lighter than Air 2S. Wish someone would weigh the 2 Aircraft 😉 -I don't have a scale.
PS An 04, Mini 4 Pro with Waypoints and omnidirectional sensors is about to arrive- for those claiming "DJI doesn't get it" -I beg to differ 😉
agreed!! and thank you
Great video Jake. That 70mm lens seems phenomenal. Making it tough on me, not to upgrade from the 2S!
It's great for sure but the Air 2s still holds better photo quality and I think better video quality by a slight bit, did you see my comparison? th-cam.com/video/ey5hG4b5Tds/w-d-xo.html
Stay with the Air2S. I regret selling. But in Europe. It's all about C classification
great shot...
Thanks
I thought it was awesome... loved it the whole way through and appreciate/respect the time and effort involved. Excellent video and review. I have the Air 3 and purchased the Neewer ND pack. With the "Freewell Split ND 4-Pack Filter Kit for Air 3" you promoted in your video, I have a question: I thought the whole idea behind the two lenses in the Air 3 was that they had the same light sensitivity and you didn't need accommodate for that like you have to on the Mavic 3 Pro. So why is it necessary with the 2 cameras on the Air 3? Thanks, Jake!
Thanks Chris, it would be great if they did have the same light sensitivity but since the 70mm is 2.8 and the 24 is 1.7 that's a little over a stop of light difference so the split filters are basically a stop difference as well
@@JakeSloan oh damn! I thought I read they were the same. I guess I’ll be returning the ones I just got!
Update: just ordered them via your affiliate link--thanks!
Jake, great video! I did notice a different style and it worked well. As always, great scenery. I hope you feel guilty every day you walk on those glaciers or shoot those glacier pools, ha ha. Looks like the Air 3 would have won out for me if it had been available when I got my Mini 3 Pro earlier this year.
Thanks John!
great content
Thanks
#BarsUp! That was an epic for a review.
WOW thank you so much!!
I always shoot with 12MP on my mini 3 and if I want a high-resolution later, Photoshop/Lightroom’s or Photomator’s super-resolution feature gives me an identical 48MP result.
Exactly and it's a better way to go about it too.
Very nice video
Thanks
Good lord your footage....
I can't wait for my free Air 3 flymore combo to arrive for my review...😊
I hope you enjoy it!!
dji should send you a big check because this is fantastic marketing for them. You always make very helpful videos.
I wish lol, thank you for the kind words
Great review. I really like the intro 😂.
lol thanks I had lots of fun making that part
I like how you can show the difference with transition from D Log to an edited version, so smoothly! Before and transition to after.... very smoothly. I suppose if you own a M3 original, what does the Air 3 offer that the M3 doesn't? Aside from longer range? Great video. Most may not see the fringing aside from ... professional nerds. Doesn't look that bad
Thank you, if you already own a mavic 3 there is no reason to get the air 3.
Just got mine last weekend. Rain in the Northeast has kept me from putting it up. Just ordered the k&f nd’s as availability for the freewell split ones are zilch right now. I’ll be looking to pick up your luts next.
I'm sure the K&F ones will work just fine, I hope you get the chance to fly soon!
I really like the images from the Mavic 3 Classic. Could you tell me if the 3x zoom of the classic is good enough for video? Or would it be better to go for the Air 3?
You could tell the difference since the 3x zoom on the mavic 3 classic is a crop in which means you loose resolution pretty quickly
Well done! You got this, and this was an awesome review. My guess is DJI PR watches your channel and knows you're going to purchase and do a review anyway right!
lol probably...
Great video! very honest and thorough. Do you think they will release a pro version in 6-12 months like the other DJI drones? Thats my only hesitation in buying the air 3
Who knows lol I can't image what else they would add
