Since the release of the Air 3, I have found myself using it more than the Mavic 3. But the four-thirds sensor on the Mavic 3 is the superior camera, not only for video, but photos as well. But your title is correct, you can't really go wrong with either one. Great video, and thanks for sharing.

Always appreciate the comparison’s bro. Keep up the good work!

thanks for sharing the experience, now is clear, that I have to go for the Mavic 3 . One big game-changer for me is that the Mavic 3 on the 24mm lens has the option to set the aperture f2.8 to f11 while the Air 3 has a fixed aperture of 1.7

Great vid, dude! My Mavic 3 Pro continues to amaze me. The vision assist feature is super handy. You don't know how much you need it until you begin using that feature. You can take riskier side shots worry-free. It also really helps when you use the 70mm & the 166mm lenses to judge your distance more accurately when you're close to objects.

I have both and honestly prefer the Air 3! It's hard to ignore the 166mm lens on the Mavic 3 Pro though. It's really hard to justify the price difference for that single lens though.

Air 3 hands down. Price, flight and control superiority. The image quality won't show on KZfaq at all. With a proper dual ND filter changing the focal length doesn't require settings change anymore.

You said it. No matter the “specs”, the human eye can only see so much. In other words, post processing both, end result, your eyes can’t tell any difference.

Billy!! I love how dji color codes all 3 categories,light grey,medium grey and dark grey.😊

I have a Mavic Air 2, and used to have a Mavic 2 Pro. What I noticed is that the 2 Pro has better hardware, but the Air 2 has better software. It's a weird tradeoff I never expected to encounter, but I currently use the Mavic Air 2 because of its size. I could become tempted by the Air 4 or 4 Pro, though.

I am debating whether an $790 jump in price is worth getting the more superior DJI RC PRO controller. The price jumps from $2,999 to $3,889 (it's $1,135 separately at Amazon)

It feels like foldables just came out to me. Didn't know they had two and three cameras as well. 😂

Wait…Main reason to buy a drone is capture videos and pictures so said that cameras incorporated on drones are very important . A drone is a kind of camera that can fly. MAVIC 3 Pro in the winner on that comparison of cameras. Also been able to change 3 lens in the air as we can do with a camera on the ground is awesome upgrade. Having O4 is a great advantage in Air 3 no dude but O3 is enough since I fly my drone no too far. For me it doesn’t make sense fly the drone without have the visibility having a risk of crashing and lose it. Other features are all there in the drone, even the additional visual assistant in the MAVIC 3 Pro. ie. 3 additional minutes of batteries it doesn’t make a big difference when doing a video a clip. Even with 20 min you can do great shots. Yes, Main difference is the price but if you want to have great videos and shots for your professional content or customers, MAVIC 3 Pro is the best option. Not discussion. People can talk to you that Air 3 is lighter, cheaper, 3 min longer flying, O4, size, etc. But as I said main reason when I flight my drone is have videos and pictures at the end of the journey and MAVIC Pro make a great job with his awesome sensor and cameras incorporated.

How about Air 3 va Mavic 3 Classic? I think it would be a more fair comparison.

Congratulations for your work 👌 Like 👍 👍 👍 Thank you for sharing 🙏

Just crashed my mavic 2 zoom. It may be fubar, (out of warranty), so back in the drone market, and these are the the two I’m considering 4 replacement atm.

I have both of these in my cart right now. I am working on getting my commercial drone pilot license for real estate photography, and I want to use it for nature photography and video. So far I don't know what to buy

Mr. Kyle,2 months ago when you did the dji air 3 range test,that was the best drone range test in human history.🤗

I am still up in the air as to which one to buy.

Good video! Thank you!

Thanks for the video! Does the RC controler that I'm currently using with the Air 3 works with the Mavic 3 pro?

Use my Mavic 3 Pro also for crane and roof inspections, and checking our facilities private parking lot every hour if there are parked cars that are not supposed to be parking on our property specially tenants of apartment building beside our facility.

Great comparison! I have the Air 3, and even though it would be cool to have the M3P (honestly, don't we all want all the drones anyways?) I haven't really felt an urge to buy it as the Air 3 is more than sufficient for most applications! Quick question though; What happened to the one of the "landing legs" of your Air 3? It looks like it melted or something? I would be very curious to hear how that happened :)

… and lastly, BUY BOTH!

Can someone please upload some downloadable sample footage already for the air 3!!!

I think a much more useful range of focal lengths for the Mavic 4 would be the same 24mm and 70mm but instead of the 166mm, have a 50mm to fill the gap, can't beat a nifty fifty. I think 70mm is as much as you need most of the time or maybe go to 75mm so you have them even spaced apart.

Short post; Owning both of these I find one of the worse aspects of the Mavic 3 Pro is the cameras, specifically the different sensors for the lenses. Post processing is really impossible for me. I think this is a case of the "More is better" syndrome.

Good evening sir I have Mavic 2 Pro Now i have to Upgrade Y because No batterie dealer's in my area ofcourse i used more than 10 batteries since Purchased Drone till now So thinking about to Go Air 3 sir What you say sir please reply ( Clients will Offer us Only Regular price sir in my area Mainly Budget Sir )

What I would like to know is if we can still use all the vision assist functionality of the Air 3 flying with the goggles 2 using the motion controller 2.

Unless it's about the cost, I wouldn't recommend a mini 3 or 4 unless the pilot is only planning to be recreational. The Air 3 and MA3 Pro are the best choices right now. I'm still using my original MA3.

In which colour profile did you shoot the footage in this video? How did you colour grade?

You killing me!!! I been saving since I got my 107 cert. and now want to buy a drone and u killing me in what to buy 😢 I’m looking to do claims adjuster (studying to get my adjuster licence back) but also aerial views for personal and who knows what else maybe even real estate

Pano mode with 70mm ... only on the M3P. Great video ... the A3 is a good backup for my M3P.

idk for most people the image is the most important aspect, and the M3 pro is much better still.

did u crashed the mavic 3 pro? i see 2 damages on the top of the drone

I-76 Philadelphia PA 👊👊👊

Does the air 3. Work with the rc pro remote? From my mavic 3?

I have the Air 3 and love it but I’m so tempted to get the Mavic 3 pro

You know what would be far, far preferrable to the Air3? A regular Mini 4 Pro + a Mini 4 Pro Tele with _only_ the 3x lens of the Air 3. Or a Mini 4 Pro Pro with swappable camera+gimbal.

Is t the tele camera a f3.4?

Love your videos. However, one point you missed. The Air3 48meg images are crap. In contrast, areas they suffer high amount of noise. I have been intouch with DJI and they have admitted there is a problem. DJI should have never sold the Air3 with the promise of better images with the 48meg images. To the non photographers the Air3 is great. However To the photographers we are so pissed. They is a growing number of photographers who are very pissed. So try it out in a sunset image with the 48meg image. You will see what I mean. The noise is so bad that programs like Topaz denoise won't remove the noise. Very disapointed.😢

i have a mavic air 1, the one you showed in the video. should i upgrade to any of these?

hey i know this is unrelated but i own a matrice 30t and the signal is really bad, i flew it from my backyard and the i couldnt get it passed ~400-600 meters I also went on a mountain to do a range test and couldnt really get it passed 3km with nothing blocking my antenna communicion with the drone please let me know of any possible fixes to my signal issue on the m30t

the fact that the air 3 takes off like a rocket much faster and lands way faster too than any other drone out there is enuf reason for me to get it or wait for air 3 pro/s

Holy shit two uploads in one day Billy? Damnnnn I see you 👀

For flying in strong winds etc they are perfect. But show me real difference of pictures to a Mini2 when everyone is watching your videos on a mobile phone. Mini drones are the best option.🎉😮😮😅

Comparison is the thief of joy. Buy what you can afford. Mini 3 Pro is a fantastic option. Dont buy the hype, invest in your skills.

One disappointment with the air 3 is needing to stop recording when switching between cameras

Air 3 fiyat performans olarak şu anda en uygun drone

Today the Air 3 also got the obstacle Assist 😂

Great!!

I can't keep up with you rich guys. I'm still using the Air 2s and Mini 3p. Both very good. I wish the image quality was as good as the Nano+ and Evo 2p. Just like with the Air 3 and M3P, there's a choice between image quality and flight ability. All are good, some are just better at some things.

Hey Billy, thanks for the great videos! Question for you, I’m still rocking my original Mavic Pro. I can’t find any comparisons between these two and the original Mavic Pro. Is the camera on the Air 3 a big improvement over that original Mavic Pro? Thanks!

***RRrrrriiinnnggg*** "Hello? " "Hi Mr Kyle, this is Robert from SquareSpace, it seems that you owe us two videos this month." "Oh, of course... No problem. Thanks for the reminder. I have you covered. Bye." Crap...

air 3 makes mini 4 pro somehow overpriced….

10:35 Wtf, Mavic 3 Pro got released May 2023, not two years ago 😅

Mavic 3 pro came out in May 2023 Air 3 came out in July 2023 Mini 4 pro came out Sept 2023 Mavic 3 came out Oct 2021 The Air 2s came out April 2021 Mini 3 pro came out May 2022

No aperture = no Air 3. DJI easily could have included it on this drone, but they didn’t because they didn’t need to. Competition is non-existent. We are left to accept whatever they give us, so I refuse to buy the units when it’s neutered. The other 2 cameras on the Mavic 3 are barely usable. Given what my clients what, I’d rather have a low MP micro 4/3 for video and high MP (48 or more) on secondary camera for stills then these 2 gimmick cameras with limited capabilities. Mavic 3 transmission is insane. As long as I’m flying legally VLOS there is no difference for me. I can be in the thick of SF and get no issues VLOS with Mavic 3, so transmission is a mute discussion at this point. I think what they can push with stills and video will be the benchmark going forward. I’d love 4K120 without a crop or loss on it like the Mavic 3. There are plenty of improvements still left to be made.

Maybe it's me, but the Air 3 has some horrible fllight characteristics. It's a camera drone, there's no question about hat, but I'll be damned if I can fly it with anything resembling coordinated flight. O4 does have incredible penetration. I''ve a P4P for years, and I thought I'd use the air 3 for my real estate jobs because it's so much smaller, If the p4p had a 70mm I'd be happy to pay $185 for batteries

I prefer the Mavic 3 pro because i use the 7x lens a lot for very high detailed panorama's.

thers a reason why mavic3 is more expensive . not 3pro nor air3

Age? The both came out this year lol

I had to watch this in 5 sessions as I had to keep having a break to breath all the way through for you, why is everything you say at 100mph you got a date and dont want to be late, you swap and change to the subject so often no one can understand what your on about...😵‍💫

Mavic 4= 3x Optical Zoom

How am I gonna afford a m4? :(. Lol 😂. Nice video. Later.

Letsssssss go

You buy a drone for its camera that's what it's use for. The Air 3 Camera is garbage 🗑️

First!

Just ordered the air 3 because some Tesla fanboy told me to do so.
