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.
Yeah thats really annoying!
Yes, same here - giving up 20mpx on the Air 2S for 12 on the Air 3 is a deal breaker for me. The emphasis is obviously on video. Its hard to believe they have not updated the AEB options for years, though it should be the simplest of software changes. Would love to have the 70mm option,
@ctzerbe1 As a photographer (rather than film maker) I have tried several DJI drones, and so far Mavic 3 raw images are by far the best when editing in Lightroom. Still worth the extra, if you make a return.
@@hedleythorne Mavic 3 or 3 pro?
@@hackenstring Mavic 3 (original with two cameras, not the classic)
Right to the point, covered all the bases, and enjoyable to watch! Great comparison.
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
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!
Very good. To the point. Informative. Thanks.
very well review ! THX for those info !!
photos from the air 3 air really 12 mp. the 48mp have a lot of purple fringing etc
hey! do you know if the mavic 3 pro will have height restrictions like the mini 4 pro from the 1st of january if you buy it after then?
Great comparison of this 2 drones - there are not as much videos out there - almost compare with air 2 :( - so thanks a lot for your work 👍
Hi what do you think about the air 3 if you want to print your shot ? What about the quality ?
Tanks 😁
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)
No one else got the “Get to the choppa” reference? Lol
"NOOOW!!!"
I love it!
Why do you think no one else got it?
Great presentation.
Thank you!
Good review, however, not covered are the zoom capabilities of the Mavic 3 Pro vs Air 3. Unless I missed it.
They are
there is out there a lot of who doesn't know how to manage uploading 360 degree photom to facebook. even me with years of experience i kind of knowing every detail and still as MAC & Win USER i am still learning... it would be great to make a video tutorial , even in DJI group it's kind of tricky
me myself for instance I am struggling to merge with metadata 106 3x zoom sphere photos, How have you overcome the challenges of creating Facebook-compatible 360 photos with the Mavic 3 Pro? What software or workflow have you found to be the most effective for stitching, converting to equirectangular format, and adding the necessary metadata? Any tips or tricks to share?
So Air 3 has dual gain output?
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.
What's your thoughts between the air 3 and mavic 3 classic?
@ElevatedVehicles Update, i got the mavic 3 pro also and i love all 3.
@@johnnoblemedia nice!
@@johnnoblemediawhy keep the classic when the pro already has the same camera? aren’t you just doubling up?
@@tommyLP750 long story. I was burgled and my classic was stolen. So i ordered a pro to replace it. I then recovered the classic. So now have both.
ขอบคุณ ต้นเรื่องของคลิป ที่มาถ่ายทำในประเทศไทย
you have any drone spots you can recommend in chiang mai? :)
Everywhere
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
Thank you
Thank you! If the air 3 is good enough for you then it’s more than enough for me.
spot on sensor size
Great review, I already bought the Air 3 combo, decent enough for newbie
It would have been nice to have the same battery on the air3 as on the air 2s.
I bought the Air3 fly more and it's amazing.
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
Could also be processing, no one knows. I had both drones and can‘t tell a difference between the 70mms.
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.
Fantastic video as always - but some timestamps would be much appreciated!
10 min video. To the point. Speed it up. You got a plane to catch? ❤😊
@@talpiotATprotonmailDOTcom Fair enough - will watch on the plane 😂
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.
Now with the new firmware updates and added features to the Mavic 3 Pro..it makes the decision more difficult..is the newer update worth $1000 plus more? haha it seriously might be..haha
I think these updates will sooner or later come to other drones as well.
@@pascalbasel yes..hopefully the "newer" ones..but some of the "older models" maybe not..because at some point their "hardware/software" will have "limitations"..and do not have the capable processors to do some of thee "new features"..
Danke fürs Video 🫱🏼🫲🏽
Also, the air 3 3x lens has night mode
So does the Mavic 3 Pro.
@@BladeTheMotovlogger didn’t know that!
@@BladeTheMotovlogger some youtuber saying that it does not have night mode on 3x?? so confusing! but thanks for the input.
Deine Videoqualität ist wirklich sehr sehr krass,
Regarding the charger, I think people don’t see where the price is dropping if a charger is not included. These chargers are 50-100 or more dollars so we can’t confirm if the company is passing on the savings to the customers
You have to buy such a charger only one time and it charges all of your devices. I got one over two years ago and it still lasts. Sending a charger with every box is unnecessary, just produces more and more rubbish.
@@pascalbasel I understand. My point is then the package should be incrementally lower
@@kentao4 Inflation... I'm wondering why prices for tech products didn't increase much.
@@pascalbasel the did increase. I’ve had most of the mavic line. Each one was a significant increase. Because I sell to get the next, I’d rather get a charger because it sells with the previous. That is all. I have a lot of devices around. Nothing wrong with wanting chargers specific to your device. I’ve always gotten the fly more combo so it hasn’t been an issue so far.
Hi,
I’m a subscriber and donate to your channel. I have a question regarding drone usage.
I often use drones to supplement my videos as you do but I feel as if I am invading the privacy of the place I am filming. That said, what is your approach to this? Do you get permission beforehand? Or, do you never drone where there are people? I’d like to know. I live in rural France and even out here people do not like drones anywhere near them. So, I’m interested in your response.
Best to you.
I just fly. I never film people in their garden or when they do anything that might invade their privacy (if it should ever happen on accident, I‘d delete the footage immediately).
But as I usually fly in the nature, I don’t worry about it at all. Europeans seem the be quite weird when it comes to that. So it’s their problem when they don’t like it, not mine. They can call the cops, I have my registration etc.
Here in Asia it’s a lot more relaxed luckily.
@@pascalbasel yeah, they are a bit testy here in France. I was literally testing my drone yesterday at my own house, and a neighbor came by to complain. I get it, though, as I wouldn’t want drones flying all around my house with the idea that they are looking in my windows. However, I never do that. I use my drone as you do, to cover interesting natural scenes from the air. Here in France, there are a lot of Château‘s and beautiful gardens, and I often use my drone to film those. Most people have an interest in what I’m doing though they seem nervous. OOPSIE!!! It’s a bit of a quagmire in that all those people love the footage of the drone. Yet, they don’t want to be near it. I’ll keep being respectful but I’m using the damn thing. See ya.
@@pascalbasel By the way, I greatly respect your fluency in English. I believe that you are German and that you now live in Thailand. Likely that you speak 3 languages. Amazing. I moved to France 🇫🇷 2 yrs ago from the USA 🇺🇸 where no one bothers to learn a second language. It’s quite a challenge speaking, reading, writing and comprehending oral speech.
@@dougdina Thanks, still trying to learn Thai... it's quite hard ;-)
Or you can get the mavic 3E battery kit which has a 100W charging hub, 3 total batteries, and USB-c to USB-c cable. Going that route is cheaper as the battery kit is 659 USD and you already have 1 battery in your M3Pro so total you would have 4 batteries
That's even more expensive at the bottom line. I don't need 4 batteries. Even 2 would actually be enough.
Deutscher Akzent so krass. Grüße aus Deutschland -:)
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
Yeah. The fact DJI is still selling the Air 2S tells you it hasn’t been replaced yet. And with the mini 4 pro coming with everything the Air 3 has just minus 10 minutes flight time and the 3x tele, all in a smaller package, they’ve got to give the Air 3 more
Yea your missing out on the telephoto lense from the classic. Honestly if I went with spending way more money I'd not sink it on the mavic classic and get the pro. Once tou use a telephoto lense tou can't got back it's amazing especially for weddings cutting out unwanted stuff in the background
@@cassijoanna I get it, I use multiple prime lenses for my Sony A7IV, but the drone has a basic mission; wide angle. I like my Classic.
Love that German accent 😂
As a hobbie fpV pilot , i always found Dji tobe super expensive, its super stable and the distance and flight time is awesome , but thats it for me , im no photographer and i am definitely not into making videos of any kind , i fly for the thrill of it so for me id rather buy 3 fpv freestyle drones than one of these , i had the mavic , the mavic zoom and i still currently have a mavic mini , but with the situation in geo-politics with china and the U.S. , think ill sell the mini and stay away from dji all together , So if your country is an ally to the united states , you to should stay away from dji , not telling any one what to do, just putting it out there . Yall photographers and video makers got flying cameras now 😀 sure beats the old ways right . Happy flying yall
Do you live in Chiang mai??
Yes
@@pascalbasel i plan to go to fishing and make video at the dam soon. That is very nice place
So... stacked sensors never have higher dynamic range as their SNR is worse than a BSI sensor. You faster readout, but that's it, you wont get better dynamic range or low light. Ever.
That depends. Faster readout means they can read higher bitrates in the same time and extract more dynamic range out of it. That’s why the X-H2S has slightly better dynamic range as a7Siii for example, despite being apsc.
There are lots of stacked BSI sensors btw. One doesn’t exclude the other.
@@pascalbasel - No, faster read outs mean the read from the top of the sensor to the bottom is faster so you get less rolling shutter. A global shutter has a full sensor readout for example, and yet again, takes another hit to dynamic range and low light. That's why CCD sensors were superior to CMOS. Compare a Nikon Z7 II with a BSI 45.7mp sensor vs Nikon Z8 II with a BSI Stacked 45.7mp sensor and you'll see even though they're the same resolution, the Z7 II out shines the Z8 in dynamic range and low light.
@@IPGAuto Not sure what Nikon is doing but I do know that the stacked sensor allows Fuji to read 14bit instead of 12 and the video DR of this camera is the best you can get from all similarly priced hybrid cameras. So stacked sensors having less DR than others is simply not true. The Air3 also confirms that from what I've seen.
@@pascalbasel - I don't mean to keep going back and fourth, but, stacked sensors have nothing to do with bit depth. A stacked sensor's advantage is speed. That's it. There is no benefit in dynamic range or low light, rather they take a small hit. I point you to DXOMark or PhotonstoPhotos, learn about stacked sensors, what stacked sensors do/mean. I think you are mistaken.
Read how the wiring, photodiodes, and filters affect a sensors dynamic range, low light capabilities.
Air3 all the way m3p overpriced
IF YOU ARE A FIRST TIME DRONE BUYER DJI MODELS ARE THE BEST ON THE MARKET YES THEY ARE NOT CHEAP BUT THEY HAVE THE BEST QUALITY FEATURES IN THE DRONE AND MOST IMPORTANT THE CAMERAS .
So in my opinion its the mavic 3 pro or the air 3. The mavic classic is definitely nice but i went for the air 3 from the air 2 1400bucks fly more with the nice controler definitely cant beat it. I hate how these drones are all compared together as if they are the same line up. The mini is its own line...the air is its own line...the mavic is its own line.
Im a stalker. I go with the mavic 3 pro and zoom in 28x. The air 3 is only 9x.
I can't recommend the 3 Pro enough for stalkers. Have a good day xD
