Күн бұрын

In this video, we are comparing the video quality and features of the DJI Mini 3 Pro versus the DJI Air 2S to help you decide which is the best drone for you. The DJI Air 2S is over a year old but still a favorite for many drone pilots. There is a lot to consider when choosing a drone not only the quality of photos and videos it captures but other aspects like weight, features, portability, flight time and flight speed are also important things to consider. If you are unsure if you should purchase the DJI Mini 3 Pro or the DJI Air 2S hopefully this video will help you with your decision. At the end of the day, both are excellent drones, and no matter which one you choose you will be extremely pleased.

I have an Air2S and a Mini 2. I’m going to Vancouver BC next week coming from WA and I am bringing the Mini 2 to fly in Canada. I love that I don’t have to register it because of the 249 g weight. I’m also bringing the 2S To use while still in the US and use it on stops along the way. I love having the two options. I thought about selling my 2S to buy the Mini 3 but I’ll just stick with having the two drones I have now as I have options for lighter travel with the Mini 2 and Air 2s for windy and higher quality work. The Mini 2 does have more stamps on it’s travel passport because it’s so portable and doesn’t annoy people :). Great video comparison!

The Air2S can film in 5K which is really a big difference if you edit your own videos because it give you some room to crop in and still have 4K video output. Also, the Air2S has precision landing system that the Mini 3 does not. There's a second camera on the bottom that takes a picture of the ground that it uses to navigate return and landing in the exact spot not 3 feet away. Not really a big deal but impressive none the less. It's just more sophisticated.

Air2S: better dynamic range, more detail: Both you can see clearly in his video fly comparison. This is not a small difference unless you shoot only for social media. Agreed 5.4K makes a big difference. You have a lossless Zoom of 1.4 as well. I only shoot in 5.4K and log. If I'm in tight spaces then I use the mini 2. Good enough.

The two big issues I have with it are losing connectivity and the in flight noise so my questions are what are the noise comparisons between these two and also between the air 1 and also whats the connectivity like between the 3 drones. As a final note i would prefer the air but really like some features of the mini pro. Do you have an idea of if and when an air 3 might come out which will hopefully combine the two?

I am on the fence between these two but something I find important is the controller. Right now the DJI RC works with the Mini 3 but not the Air 2S. Of course, one could purchase the DJI RC Pro, which works with the Air 2S, but the price of it is more expensive than the Air 2S itself. I read an article a few months ago that the Smart Controller, which was an option with the Air 2S, has been discontinued. I've been holding out waiting to see if DJI updates its firmware so the DJI RC will work with the Air 2S, which I would likely jump on. Good video, thank you.

Field of view is not so important when you are in the air, since in most cases you can simply take the shot from further away and then get the same framing. The biggest problem with the Air 2S is the fact that you need a drone license for it here in Europe, as it weighs over 250g. If you don't want to do that, the only option is the Mini 3 Pro. But I think the differences in video quality are so small that most people won't notice it. A big advantage is of course the compactness: the best drone is the one you always have with you.

This is an Amazing Review. I've been holding off for a couple years getting a drone. I think the Mini 3 Pro is the one for me.

That said, the huge difference in prices between the two with upgraded color controllers makes the Mini 3 a no brainer, at least for me. At the time of me writing this, the Mini 3 Pro with the RC color controller is US$909. For the Air 2S and the RC1Pro color controller I'd need to pay US$700-800 more.

Do I have a story about focusing. I got a replacement drone because the drone I bought straight from dji .. 5feet off the ground .. the back left propellers stoped spinning in mid air .. which caused the other propellers to stop spinning and down it came right on the gimbal, camera. Before the crash the camera had a hard time focusing and the gimbal was kind of malfunction. But after about 30 seconds everything was ok. Anyways the replacement comes in 3 days ago. And I setup the drone and the camera tries to focus and it just keeps trying… but never achieve it. I decided to try and fly .. maybe it would focus after all. No, nope could not see anything because it didn’t focus at all. Now all this ..in under one month.. with two drones. I gave up on dji. They didn’t seem to care to makes things right. I still had to pay the $65 for sending it … even tho I had dji care refresh. Etc. I love this drone but.. dji dropped the ball. Big time. Maybe il upload the videos first the crash with the propellers stop spinning and also the focusing issues out of the box with the new dji mini 3. I’m at a loss for words on how this can happen two times in a row.

@@SideshowBob44 Lol, I'm thinking to myself, WTF is he talking about "manual focus to infinity". I've never seen anything like that in the settings! So I go fire mine up on a table and I'm searching through the settings...nothing! Until purely by accident I hold the AF icon longer than normal...and then my "DOH" moment! 😊

The 2S definitely has better image quality, no matter what certain reviewers are trying to make you believe :) I guess it's due to the sensor size (the area of the sensor is almost 2x, just do the math), sharpness is better (I think partially due to the smaller aperture, not just the sensor), noise is lower, there is less color fringing, and D-Log will always be better than D-Cinelike. 5.7k is also a no brainer. FWIW, in my country, the 2S is now actually cheaper than the 3 Pro (799 EUR with controller). The big question is whether you can live with the higher weight and noise of the 2S.

Charging batteries on the move is the main hiccup with the Air2S - Mini - Mini2 a large powerbank can be thrown in rucksac and charge batteries on the move but with the Air2S I had to purchased a Ecoflow River Mini. And sats lock is a pain where the Mini2 outpunches against it

Hey you didn’t really compare the still photo qualities side by side. Would love to see the difference . I love the vertical shooting capability and the more vibrant colors of the mini 3 pro, but read that in photos the 2s just feel like pro level photos. Any comments about that?

I had my mini 2 for 14 months. I’m content with it and it being sub 250g is such a win. The mini 3 has some tempting new futures, the active track. I know that there is 3rd party ups such as Litchi but those function are bad. The question is if the upgrade from mini 2 to mini 3 is worth just for active track

@Fityours Жыл бұрын

Active track is nice. But you can sort of use active track on the mini 2. Use quicklapse (circle) and it should follow you for a bit.

Im using mini 2 also...but i really want the active track or to follow...specially if im on the trail with my bike..im planning to upgrade either mini 3 pro or air2s still cant decide 😅

I've been torn between these two drones. I find them to be equally great but I opted for the Mini 3 Pro to have it as a travel drone.

@patc2515 Жыл бұрын

when folded down and stored in a case, isn't it only saving you a fraction of the space? is the actual bag carrying the drone even noticeably different in size between these 2 models? it's not very noticeable to me anyways.. the air 2s will out perform the mini 3 pro in most ways especially in actual flight performance ans camera where it matters most. people need to be careful when deciding between these 2 as they are not apples to apples and the current price difference isn't very much. I have both and there's just no situation where I want the mini 3 pro over the air 2s. both are cool but the air 2s is superior in my opinion, in every way that matters.

In the UK sub 250g is a big deal as well, Can fly close to and over uninvolved people, and can fly in residential, recreational, commercial and industrial areas, over 250g you need to stay 150m away.

Arrrgghhh... I dont know which one to get.. Don't say get both lol.. I am just afraid if I dont get the air 2s I'll be bummed when it comes to wind.. But love the idea of the mini 3 with the upgraded controller with screen and the lower noise..

Imagine if DJI collaborated with Sony to push out BSI sensors. The low light on these drones would be insane!

I am based in Ireland, on the coast where it can be quite windy. I am hoping to purchase a drone soon to start my own part time hobby / side hustle business. Potentially weddings, real estate, local sports clubs etc. Not too worried about the weight as registration is not expensive in Ireland. Although I travel a lot around Europe with my job and I would love to be free to take it with me. What is the best option for me I really cant decide. Obviously if I do well I intend to upgrade or add to my fleet so could eventually own both. Any advice welcome, thank you.
