Рет қаралды 49,768
Күн бұрынThe brand new DJI Mavic Air 3 is the latest drone in DJI's lineup. It features a dual camera, improved flight time, and a host of other new features... but is it worth it? Or is there still something missing?

What do you think about the DJI Air 3? Are you upset about the sensor size and lack of aperture control? Or does the additional flight time and 3x lens make it worth it for you? PS: I've discovered that the FlyMore combo does not come with the filters. Apologies for being misinformed on that one!

Kyle I have a question that I seem to be unable to get a clear answer on. My mavic 2 with Hasselblad has a true 20 megapixel camera, but my mini 3 says 48 megapixel although its adequate it does not compare to my MP2. How do you think the air 3 would stack up against the MP2 just in image quality, not flight features or anything else just cameras? Thanks in advance

Let me start by saying I just subscribed to your channel because Finally a drone content creator that actually lays out the facts from the real consumer point of view not just the die hard videographer snob price is absolutely a major factor for any drone purchase which is why is why I started with mini 3 pro and avata then got the air 3 and was like oh heck yes this in every single way an improvement to 90% of dji consumer based drones at literally half the price or the same price as lower models I absolutely love all the added tech and the range is what I needed so much because it’s not about how far you can take the drone it’s the ability to penetrate through buildings and trees and other obstacles when your in the city that is the biggest upgrade that is most appreciated about this drone on top of the wind resistance which I was struggling with on my mini 3 pro and avata this air 3 is ultra stable. All in all you just can’t beat it absolutely amazing! Thank you for making this content.

I said it’s “pretty much the same.” In most instances I’d personally still prefer to shoot horizontal for drone shots. I’d rather have the option to use it for horizontal and vertical projects and I’ll just reframe to keep my subject in the center. If you know it’s only going to used for social, you can use the vertical mode.

So far, so good with the Air 3. My only complaint is the RC2 battery life is horrid. I did an update (initial and it was easy 1st time through), used it to fly the drone about 20 minutes, then shut the drone down and used the remotes map to place some waypoints and save the path. That took up 75% of my RC2 battery life.

The really big bummer is the different aperture at the 1x and 3x zoom - which was expected, though. If DJI had at least thought about it and made the ND filters with different grades for the 1x and 3x, so we could use the same shutter speed on both cameras in the same lighting conditions. I really hope that a 3rd party filter manufacturer comes up with ND filters like that. Because it really doesn't make sense to take away light with an ND and then "add" it back with higher ISO...

On vertical shooting; While it doesn't actually rotate like a mini does, what it does do is it uncrops from the normal 16x9 aspect ratio to the full sensor's 4x3 ratio and then crops in for vertical. This does give you a slightly larger field of view vertically than just shooting in the normal horizontal mode and then cropping in post.

Good question. I think it’s Apples fault to be honest. They have popularized the .5x 2x 3x “zoom” terminology and now everyone is adapting to that convention because it is more easily understandable by everyday people. “3x zoom” is easier for most to understand than “70mm full frame equivalent prime lens”

Makes sense. I'm old school and a zoom lens is a mechanical/optical lens that transitions steplessly from 24mm to 70mm. As you said, people are used to pinching their fingers on their phone to "zoom" digitally between the fixed lenses (which I never do). @@kylemeshna

I discovered a new bummer the hard way. Obstacle avoidance isn't all that they say it is. Mine was taken out by dead branches of a lodgepole pine. Admittedly, I should have seen it before it happened, so I'll take some of the blame. Yet, oddly enough the obstacle alarm came on and it never braked as in my settings. In the short time that it took me to look up, the props were already tearing into the dead wood, and tumbling down it came from about 70 feet through many branches on the way down. Not a pretty ending.

I am annoyed that the ND Filter Set was made a separate, $100 USD purchase - NOT included in either Fly More Combo - just as there is no charging brick, just the hub requiring ANOTHER $70 (65 watt) or $100 (100 watt) so on top of the $1550 cost you have another $170-200. I bought the RC-2 Fly More. These upsells get expensive and DJI says they removed stuff "to give people options" 😒 🙄 yeah, and soften the price shock. Its absolutely worth it, but that is deceptive stuff right there. Also your Mini 3 Pro flying friend obviously didn't have the plus battery.

According to info @PotatoJet got from DJI, it is the same sensor as in mini 3 pro, but managed by new algorithms and electronics (SoC). As for me... I'm having hard time to make decision between Mavic 3 Pro and Air 3... If M3P would have two lenses (24 and 70) and weight would be under 900g I would go for it (3 lenses would be fine as well, except for the weight). Due to EU regulations it's much more complicated to fly a drone above 900g... For me the issue with A3 is like I don't feel it's a 100% upgrade from A2s. I know missing 5k is not much of deal. Smaller sensor is doing well in mini 3 pro, but still.. It's up and downgrade imho... I'm confussed 🤯

Sorry but i find the image the image of the 1/1.3" quad bayer looks very digital. It's just oversharpened by the internal algorithm and looks amateurish. Clearly not an upgrade.

Personally compared to Air 2S, I think ill be okay with the stacked, dual native ISO front lit sensor that is better in low light and has better image quality? Not to mention a Telephoto lens on a second equally matched sensor? Noise management, sharpness, lack of chromatic aberration and a lens that's an order of magnitude better. Size IS significant, all factors being equal, but they are not equal in this scenario. The newer sensor is superior in just about every (video) side by side with the only exception being SOME photo IQ. (Original Dobo, Quickass Tutorials have some eye opening side by side comparisons.

For goodness sake, it's a drone, it films landscape. There is no need for manual focus or even adjustable focus. Keep it on infinity or at least AF.

The one thing that sets apart the Mavic 3's apart from the Air 3 is the Hasselblad micro 4/3rd sensor which imho has superb noise handling while shooting in low light. Would have expected you to speak about the Hasselblad offering in addition to aperture control and the 3rd camera when comparing it to the Mavic3 pro

So I sold my mavic 3 because I never used the second camera. I keep saying I’m going to get the mavic 3 pro but for the price, this drone is in heavy consideration. I haven’t quite sold myself on not being able to control the aperture. That is KILLING me. lol.

I owned Mavic 2 Pro and Phantom 4 Pro, and to be honest I don't see any significant improvements in image quality compared to Mavic 3. On paper it has larger sensor, in reality, the noise reduction on Mavic 3 is quite aggressive, and there's no option to control it via app. Same story with sharpening setting, which I had on Phantom 4 Pro, but not on Mavic 3. Although flying experience is better on Mavic 3, image quality is not what I expected.

Aperture control??? That's for bokeh primarily. Use variable Nd filters for excessive light and iso to compensate. It's a drone, taking primarily land scape, pretty sure the aperture is like a 5.6-8 equivalent of full frame. Going smaller on a small sensor would be almost disastrous except in full on clear sky mid day bright light.

Is the Air 3 a Mavic? I have never heard of the Air series being Mavics (I am a Noob though) I have come from flying drones for the sake of flying and building them, to beginning to do photography with them. I liked the look of the Mavic 3 series, especially the pro, of course... but the cost was very high, I couldn't justify spending that much on one drone. The obvious answer was not to buy ONE drone (haha)... I was tossing up between the Air 3 and the Mini 4 pro... the Air 3 won... then the Mini 4 pro won... then the Air 3 won again (and so did the Mini 4 pro) so I did the only thing I could possibly do... I bought both! When people ask which is my favorite, I say the one by DJI is my favorite. I am a beginner (in drone photography)... my advice to someone wanting to get into the hobby, either will be perfect, whichever you get you will be happy with... whichever yo get, you will wish you got the other... so, do what I did, buy one then save up for the other as well! Greetings from Australia (BTW, I just subscribed and tripped over some Kryptonite and strangely, it had no effect on me at all??!! Obviously, subscribing worked! Imagine that!!)

Video still looks like from the Phantom 4 Pro with all that sharpening and noise reduction. 🤣 At least on the Mini 3 Pro I can reduce both to -2 and get an image that is more in line with a professional camera instead of a phone or a 7 year old drone.
@mosyon Жыл бұрын
I was wondering if it's just me or the image is too "digital". I watched many reviews and not in every one of them the image is that much "digital", so maybe it's a matter of settings? Noise reduction is highly visible in low light, especially on glowing neon signs. Image looks unsharp and again "digitaly processed".. Shame, bcoz specs looks good to me. Update Edit: In Air 3's latest firmware you can reduce sharpness and noise reduction to -2 aswell.

They should have included the 100w charger with the drone, without it, its pretty much useless. Charging takes more than half a day. Imagine doing back to back shoots. So add another $100 into the price and the cost of NDs which is needed for this drone for lack of aperture control.

At this point I have so many good USBC chargers that I've never found that to be an issue. So many things take USB-C that I just bring one 100w Charger with me everywhere and call it a day. The lack of NDs in the fly more kit is a huge bummer though...
