Tough Choice, two of the best drones but only one winner..... Which would you pick? Air 3 or Mini 4 Pro?? Let me know in comments.. Get drone Luts and Cheat Sheets here - dmprovisuals.com

[@dereksmith9448]

Air 3

[@charlesdove1345]

Mini 4

[@whotshisface]

Air 3

[@WindWalkerDrones]

Looking at the a3. I know they have the same size sensor. But I was wondering are they both the backlit stacked sensor?

[@WindWalkerDrones]

I was thinking about getting the 3pro trying to decide between that and the A3. I've been told to go for Air. Being that you brought it up what are your thoughts between the two? Does the m3p give much more advantages to make it worth the price? Thoughts on photo and video quality between them. Thanks

[@PegasusDroneImaginings-td4un]

The mini 4 pro has two battery options. The standard battery is 2590 mAh (which makes the drone under 250 grams) is in the general flymore kit... the PLUS version has bigger batteries of 3840 mAh (which make it 255 grams) is in the flymore plus kit. When buying, you have to look/confirm what batteries your kit comes with, especially if it is critical for your drone to be under 250 grams. I have the PLUS version and get 32 minutes flight time as long as not too windy. If windy, I get about 25 minutes. The best I have gotten out of my Air 3 is 34 minutes. Remember if you charge the night before you leave, having the batteries in the charging dock, the batteries may discharge to 96% (for battery preservation) so you may end up setting off the next day at not full battery. So, leave charger plugged in until you walk out the door the day of the flight, or have a charge port in the car on the way to the flying destination.

[@rcafmaintainer3723]

I made the mistake and bought the plus more. I have since bought the legal >250 batteries.

[@conorstewart2214]

@@rcafmaintainer3723 the larger batteries are legal too, there are just more restrictions on the drone and you might need extra licenses. It could be useful to have both. The larger batteries for flights away from people and buildings but a longer flight time and the smaller batteries for when you need the drone to be under 250 g.

[@rcafmaintainer3723]

@@conorstewart2214 If I flew it with the larger batteries, I’d going against the drone laws here. I currently don’t have the required licence.

[@orbbb]

I am upgeading my this year, and my choice has always been the Air 3. For the work I do, it makes the most sense to me.

[@charlesdove1345]

The effort you put into these videos in so good

[@DMProductions]

Appreciate that

[@tomas_suros]

For me, the goggles integration added yet another great layer of functionality and flat out fun to my Mini 4 Pro.

Magic presentation, really helpful, Thanks so much!

[@adrianodasilva150]

Greetings from Ireland! Thanks for such a good video. Hard to make a decision when looking at spec sheets and not actual user experience. Your video made it very simple to make up my mind on which drone to get. Thanks again and keep it up!

[@alexcove2925]

Thank you very informative! Thanks for putting in your time with these

[@paulyates4093]

Great info as usual im still swaying towards the Mavic classic tho for landscape photography and it will hook upto my mini 3 pro controller

[@averageguy969]

I have both the Mini 4 Pro and the Air 3. I fully agree with you … in terms of flying experience I very much prefer the Air 3. That extra power and stability give me a lot more confidence. The Air 3 is the drone I am flying more than the Mini 4 Pro. I find that I only fly the Mini 4 Pro when I travel to countries where the registration process too difficult. 😊

[@downhilldave12]

Glad you said that , because I’ve just upgraded to an air3 from a mini pro 3 . But I still use both !!

[@mcbikewild9243]

still loving my mavic 3 classic for inspections and my avata for fun flying... i have alot of windy conditions and the mavic 3 classic is a beast for that.

[@DMProductions]

Yes super strong in the wind the Mavic series

[@mozzyquodo5532]

Same for me, the mavic 3 is a marvellous beast. Just decided to get a mini 4 pro to be able to whip up into the sky without as many restrictions where I live. Have to travel a decent distance now to fly my mavic 3. Sigh.

[@conorstewart2214]

This is similar to what I am thinking. I have a small 2.5” FPV drone but for photography, inspections, exploration, etc, it just isn’t that great. It is so much easier to get certain shots with a stabilised drone with a gimbal. It would also be much easier to find work with a stabilised drone with a gimbal than an FPV drone, they don’t really have much use outside of filming and even then the shots are quite limited.

[@btdecorator]

Great video perfect timing thanks! this was the one I wanted to see as I was stuck on which one to buy, and you have decided for me, I have just completed my A2 Examination as well, which will be great to use the Air3 as was looking at the Mini 4 Pro as can be used anywhere but my problem I live on the coast wind will effect me more and the Mini 4 Pro think will struggle. I will buy the Air 3 for the open flying but also get the Mini 3 Pro as well for any build up areas where I cannot fly the Air 3 within 50M of people and buildings in the UK

[@mordavian]

Great video. What about the video quality? I'm wondering the max. bit rate both drones have.

[@albrunelle2022]

Great comparison, I have both drones and they are great drones. When I am ebiking through the forest I use the Mini 4 Pro as long as the wind is less than 20 mph. When I'm flying along the coast I use the Air 3 due to wind gusts. Thanks for another great review. Cheers

[@davidhinks1284]

I have m3p and m4p , and find them both great , I really haven't had any issues with the wind with either and I live in the lakes , the portability is great especially when hiking , and I don't have the problems of keeping away from towns too much .

[@paxmortum]

pretty well done overview about these two goodies 😊👍🏼 i own the Mini 3 Pro (which i feel to be pretty similar to the M4P, ignoring the missing side sensors😉) and the Air 3, and guess what => 38 of my 43 hours air time last year have been on the Air 3 ! as i nearly never shoot in vertical, allways carry em in a bag (with all the batteries, filters, controller and other small equipment parts), DON´T wanna fly without knowing the rules (highly recommend EVERYONE to get the A1/A3 for nearly no costs at all), and fly in windy conditions too, the Air 3 is my No.1 ... the 3x camera, air time and (air/wind) stability are the points of choice on my side ... by the way, there's one more very important point for me => as i allways fly in VLOS (Visible Line Of Sight), i can fly round about 170m vs 120m away, still seeing the drone and it's reaction to the sticks ... i twice had a crashed video signal on the M3P (older firmware, one year ago) in an area with many trees, regulated air spaces around and no chance to bring it back with the RTH button ... luckily only 40-60m away, so i could get it back with eyesight only ...

[@adrianglessner5979]

Great video as always. Torn I have Air2s and seems the night video in a2s is better. I was looking for oa and a little longer flight time, but to downgrade on night pictures seems like a deal breaker. I think I am going to hold off to see if they come out with a air3s?

[@MSFTV73]

I started flying drones a few years back buying a mini 2.December 2022 i’ve bought the air 2s because i wanted better quality photo’s and bigger files to work with.2 weeks back i’ve upgraded the mini 2 to the mini 4 pro fly more combo with smartcontroller.For me the combination mp4 and the air 2s works really well.Imo the air 2s is still a better drone compared to the newer air 3 due to the bigger sensor.I wouldn’t trade the air 2s for the air 3 because it still provides me with awesome picture quality.I wish i could have all the features from the mp4 on the air 2s,that would be amazing.The mp4 is really impressive for such a small drone.I was almost was shocked the first time i launched the mp4.It’s so incredible quiet compared to the air 2s (even the mini 2 is louder)…a few meters up in the air and you can’t hear the drone anymore.Waypoint missions,cruisecontrol,vertical shooting,smart return to home option and the ar system are very impressive .Well done Dji…gotta love them for that 🛸😎👍🏻Whatever of both drones in this video you choose…you can’t go wrong with Dji !

[@telebeater]

I have the Mini 3 Pro and have recently purchased the Air 3 as I was looking for a more stable flight in the wind and better battery life. I love my mini 3 Pro and fly it in areas that I cannot fly the Air 3 so I am now prepared for all situations ;) Darren your video has convinced me that I made the right choice and I thank you sir! GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@dzengiztafa510]

How would you not be able to fly the Air 3? Due to local atmospheric conditions? I'm looking for bying an Air3, but still looking for information

[@inkyspider1]

Nice informative video as always there buddy. For me, and what i film its the Mavic 3 pro all the way though, having said that i do keep the mini 3 pro in my bag with it. Cheers chum, happy flying.😀

[@lifetimestoriesphotography]

We went to air 3 just to be in between the mavic and the mini 4 ..loved the idea of the second camera

[@Cedarmesadude]

Your reviews are so comprehensive and so well-articulated. Going with the DJ Air 3. Thank you so much.

[@DMProductions]

My pleasure!

[@JustinJK]

I AM LITERALLY WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO AS I JUST ORDERED BOTH! im screaming right now! Great timing man! lets see which one return 😅

[@DMProductions]

Haha let me know !

[@onmyway111]

So which one did you keep ?

[@jamrmx]

Fully agree with you, mainly as I already had the mini 3 pro, so the air 3 was the obvious choice. Great video, objective and clear

[@DMProductions]

Thanks for watching!

[@tech9251]

While the RC2 controller certainly has its advantages, recommending it to everyone may not be serving all users well. The screen is relatively small, and absent a bigger display with HDMI input, there is no practical way to use a larger device for display with the RC2. But with the RC-N2, you can use a large tablet if you wish, and even mirror directly to large TVs or other devices. Also, since the RC2 is unlikely in the extreme to ever support third party apps, RC2 users will most likely not be able to run any of these (e.g. Litchi, Dronelink, etc.) when MSDK support for the Mini 4 Pro arrives, which DJI says should be in a matter of months. These are all considerations worth noting when deciding between the RC2 and the RC-N2.

[@azramarizona8148]

I have the mini 3 pro so the decision was a no brainer for me. But I agree the added lens, battery life and overall performance of the Air 3 makes it well worth the money. Very pleased with the Air 3

[@chrissanchez9218]

I have a mini 2se but been looking into the air 3 but maybe hoping there will be a new air4? But all the new features and tech will be useful

[@kenramsey2304]

Thank you for taking your time to share your real world comparison. After much intensive research comparing the same two drones I recently, November 25th, purchased the Air 3 fly more combo as my first drone purchase. I totally agree with your assessment of the power, stability, long flight times and great creative photo and video capabilities of the Air 3 using the two cameras. I also feel that the build structure of the Air 3 is better. I also feel that when I use the 70mm camera it gives me a quieter less intrusive flight experience because of the greater distance the Air 3 can be from its intended subject when flying in more crowded public areas. It is somewhat noisier when taking off but I try to launch and land far away from others in order to avoid interfering in their activities. It will take me a long, but very enjoyable, time to use all of the features of the Air 3 but I feel like it definitely gives me more room to develop and grow as a drone pilot and enthusiast. In the past I really enjoyed 35mm camera photography and I am already amazed by what I can do with this flying camera and 35 - 40 minutes of photo and video time available with each battery. I live near a coastal area and the winds would be an issue for a smaller drone. Than you again.😎

[@georgealexander2955]

Thank you so much for the input. I was thinking about the mini 4 but after watching your video no doubt what so ever, I am getting the air 3. Thank you.

Excellent video as usual! Upgrading from the Spark, I had almost convinced myself that the Mini 4 Pro was the logical choice for my requirements. But.... the 3X camera and the better wind resistance of the Air 3 kept tempting me 😅 Finally went with the Air 3 last week. So glad I did!

[@kroalex81]

I will recomend the mini 3 pro if the money 💰 not an issue go with the air 3

Good choice!

[@CoreyJReed-tk4rd]

[@DMProductions]

Such a good drone !

[@jonesy3089]

I am looking at both of them really hard. I am in the USA. I am leaning towards the mini 4 pro. Only because if you get the regular battery’s you don’t need to register it and it won’t activate remote Id. I am digging the air 3 but I like my privacy register isn’t that big of a deal but I am not a fan of anyone with a smartphone knowing my location and info. It would be one thing if it was just authorities but it’s not once it goes active.

[@zoltantasnadi9027]

Very good detailed comparison video and finally someone takes side. Im tired of hearing that its up to me which one is better for me. Im glad to hear that you would recommend / choose the Air 3 due to x and y. Thanks

Great video. looking to buy a drone to take pics/videos when I go off-roading. So I am very new to this, and this was very informative.

[@thomassantoso]

Good video! At the time, I had to decided between the M4P and the Air2S. Being able to fly close to buildings when working with clients was a dealbreaker, so I picked the smaller drone. I still might get the Air3 though, now that the M4P has paid for itself!

[@adamwharmby4864]

Having the M3P I'd look at the air 3 mainly just for the better wind resistance doing a lot of hiking n mountain biking for me it would a big difference where I can fly it I love my M3P for its light weight compact usability but on those windy days I think against using it

[@maddogtank8425]

I've been out on some pretty windy days. I live up in the mountain. By the way, so the wind is quite a radic and heavy here when it does get up. And I have had no problems with my mp4 I'm not gonna lie to you. I have taken it up in twelve m/s Winds and I've had no problem. It gets a little bit unstable just barely, but it's still fully controllible. The wind resistance is only listed as The wind resistance is only listed 2 ms Difference anyway Honestly I think the only thing that makes the air even remotely worth thinking about. Is the 3X. Magnification, but I don't think that something that most people can just have a $500 price up for I've also found that the low light performance of the Mini is better as the obstacle avoidance sensors with the air have attended seat to turn off in low light environments Before the Mini does that's probably due to it being a larger drone and. Having the sensors more space depart but I couldn't tell you one hundred percent why

[@0zman]

Very good and informative video, thanks alot for so much detail 😊

[@jdmedia2784]

Excellent presentation Darren. I'm loving the Mini 4 Pro, but the batteries are absolutely shocking. No wind, 15 to 18 minutes max, not going bonkers using features. I bought two extra, enough for me. Rules and regulations wise, and I can fly practically everywhere, also for travelling, the mini 4 for me. 👍

I have a Mini 2 which I love but I live near Chicago which is known as the Windy City for a reason. My Mini sometimes has problems with the wind. So even though the Mini 4 Pro looks like a great option I’m going to go with an Air 3 mainly because of the weight.

I've got both as I decided productivity is paramount if you want to get the job done everytime. If you go out flying for a day, you really have the choice to max out and work across a range of situations. Start with both fully charged then charge on the go whichever you use first. Just comes down to how much stamina you've got to keep concentrating and capturing. Also if one drone is out of action you can still fly and create. Great video as always and what inspired me to aim to be a pro level drone pilot.

[@OrganicGonzalez]

MY GUT INSTINCT IS TELLING TO TO WAIT FOR THE AIR 3s/3pro/4. But it actually makes tones of sense to buy both of these drones you’ve shown. The best drones out there today! It seems that having the 2 smaller (mini/air) gives more filming opportunities than having 1 mavic 3 drone.

Good comparison Video Darren.

[@DMProductions]

Thanks 👍

[@Abb0nz1]

Great video. Must admit I thought you glossed over some of the Air3 advantages a little but as I'm an Air3 owner I might be a little biased 😊 Something I thought should have been mentioned is that to get the better flight time the Mini 4 needs the bigger battery which puts it over the 250gm threshold.

[@CharlesWatson13]

I think they push the mini bc it’s more likely to get ordered with affiliate links. Maybe I’m crazy but I believe it 😆

[@cp-overview]

I have both, i find i hardly use the mini 4, i have my A2 c of c and can fly under article 16 so can just about get the air 3 in the same places as the mini 4 , then add the 3x camera and the superior wind resistance into the equation and the Air 3 is a long way ahead.

[@geofflittler2035]

Fantastic warts n all comparison of both excellent drones. I had fhe Mini 3 Pro and before upgrading to my Air 3 I did actually try the Mini 4 Pro. It might be worth noting that you can actually fly the Air 3 a lot further than the Mini 4 Pro legally, maintaing VLOS (visual line of sight) as it has a more pronounced profile and is far easier to keep in view. We should of course never lose VLOS as we all owe it to ourselves and each other to fly within the appropriate laws for our relative countries. If we do not then we just make things more difficult for everybody else as the CAA and or FAA then just impose even stricter restrictions on everybody.

I'm finally going to upgrade from my MP1, and I've been daily switching from the Mini Pro 4 and the Air 3...might come down to a coin flip and/or picking up the other one as well...lol. The Mini 4 with the plus battery adds 44.9g according to the DJI web site. Its that enough weight to add noticeable wind resistance vs the smaller battery or is it negligible? I do a lot of flying along the CA coast, so wind is an issue. Tough call. Do love the content!

A licence? No person or corporation on planet earth can give man or woman a licence to do something ulawful. If what you are doing is lawful, why would a licence be required? I didn't know which drone to buy; the Mini Pro 4 or the Air 3. However, after watching the above video, it was an easy choice for me to make...the Air 3.

[@SeriousSchitt]

Thanks for your video comparison, I've really enjoyed your time and effort. Interestingly, however, what you class as a disadvantage, I consider a huge plus, and that is the lack of vertical photo support. Vertical photo/videos fly in the face of everything I stand for, why anyone would go out and buy a 40, 50, or even 60" TV set and then want to watch a video one third the width, sitting in the middle of the screen beats the hell out of me, to me that's just plain nuts. One question, can I ride my bike through a heavily forested track and have it follow me without smashing into the trees? I saw a clip of it randomly flying through the trees but it wasn't following anyone.

I own the Air 3 and I am very happy. Now I ordered the Avata 2 and looking forward to the FPV experience. 😊

[@DMProductions]

You’ll love it !

[@ridingwithparis]

Im still rocking the Mini 3 pro, but I'd love to upgrade to the Air 3. With my luck though, as soon as i bought one, DJI would drop a Mavic 4 or Air 3s 😅

[@DavyMilano]

I have and prefer the air 3 like you said! or you have the Avana is very good too for more speed and trick flying !

[@debeunproducties]

Hey Darren great revieuw about the MP4 is a great drone to do almost everything you want but i have now the air 3 for a few months and its wins /extra lens /longer flight and last beter against the wind and in Holland there is alway's a lot of wind and we can fly at the same restrictions as the m4p so that also a win win but overal they are 2 great drones gr Hans

[@sisyphos-or2lx]

Was very informative, thanks a lot ❤

[@DMProductions]

My pleasure 😊

[@Drone.Wizards]

I have both, I prefer the air 3 but end up using the M4P due to restrictions in built up areas where as the air 3 I use when I’m in the country side.

[@edkruzel]

Dallas, TX here. I went with the pro 4 simply due to licensing. It's been a blast, great video and so responsive. Much better than mavic air. Taking it on the glaciers in Alaska this August.

[@hack-1_psn195]

if price wasn ta factor, mavic 3 pro vs air 3?, think a mavic 4 is coming?

[@ivanhancock]

I sold my Mavic 3 series 1, and also sold my Mini 3 pro. I went and bought the Air 3. out of all of the drones I have had over the years the Air 3 is my all time favorite, for all of the reasons mentioned in this video. I believe I will have the Air 3 for some time, well until something better comes along, but it will have some big shoes to fill when it does !! 🤨

[@kentao4]

I did the exact same but now I have no drone! Why do you like it better than the mavic? I loved the mavic 3!

[@SK-er4oy]

Can I use the same RC 2 controller for both drones? If I decide to purchase both, then I don’t need to purchase two separate RC 2 controllers. Thanks.

[@Spazzfrom.1989]

just need one

[@Urge2Serg]

Just got my first drone, the Mini Pro 4. Figured if I liked it and used it enough, I'd eventually upgrade.

[@adamd5910]

I have the mini pro three and have had it for about a year and I’m at the stage where I want to upgrade. Also had the mini one and my only complaint with them is not wanting to put them up when it’s windy and at my place it’s always windy so I’m definitely looking to upgrade to the air 3 instead of the mini 4

[@DMProductions]

yes you'll see a big difference in the wind with the Air 3

[@sniffiejoe9370]

i think you should upgrade to a kite instead

[@blijvendanders828]

Can I ask you a question?.....I have a DJI mini 4 pro....somehow the image on my controller is very dark...do you know how can I change that?

[@zimmrm04]

Swipe down on the screen to bring up a hidden menu for toggling various functions but it also has a screen brightness slider, much like a smart phone.

[@kennychanth8404]

thanks for the review, nice work Sir

[@DMProductions]

Thank you !

[@mikeoitzman8275]

I am going to film mountain bike race events. The Air 3 has the two cameras which will give two options for the shot I want to take while in the air, given that the race is live and that I can't reshoot anything a second time.

[@billburkhart6004]

I've been watching your videos for almost a year, torn between the Air 3 and the Mavic 3 Pro. Based on this video, I'm going with the Air 3. I'll be purchasing your cheat sheet now and the LUTS later.

[@DMProductions]

Ah thank you I appreciate that! Good choice with the Air 3

[@lendalatwood6430]

Well that settles it...almost too windy here in Nova Scotia for my Mini 3 so Air 3 is my upgrade choice! Not much mention of whether the Air 3 gets close to the estimated battery life though?

[@liamtayler948]

I'm in NS too - going to go for the Air 3

[@SkyDomeVIZE]

I own the original DJI Mavic air and I still use it a lot. Cons for travel are the - carrying battery charger - WiFi tech / range Wish DJI make the air 4 smaller to the original air, but with the restrictions anything over 250 grams I would think it does not matter no longer.

[@martinchivers7341]

Hobbyist, no license needed and portability. The M4P is my clear choice. Nice video!

[@navpreetsingh8156]

The mini 4 pro has a stacked sensor?

[@scuttsproductions]

I would personally go for the DJI Mini 4 Pro. You can fly it in more places than you can with the AIR 3. Because you would need to have or to have passed your A2 C of C to fly the Air 3 in closer proximatty places. So it would be the Mini 4 Pro for me.

[@gregzis981]

Hi I just found your channel and subscribed I’m from Connecticut in the US I have a fishing charter business and I have been using my GoPro for a couple years now and I would like to add to my footage with some drone shots I don’t have a drone currently I was thinking the mini 4 pro but now you have me thinking the air 3 which do you think would be best to use from a boat (after I have a lot of practice) ?

[@wpymes]

In open spaces, the wind might be the decisive issue!

[@evbeatzz]

want to upgrade to the mini 4 pro from my og mavic pro, but being used to a 750g drone makes me worry about the wind resistance of that small drone

[@sebastianwyszynski4677]

Great review. Greetings from Poland. I will purchase Air3 next month.

[@DMProductions]

Good choice!

[@stewcoil2481]

Getting a couple heavy DJI batteries (Plus) for the Mini 4 Pro tomorrow, they should add to flight time. > than 8.8 Oz (250 g, .55 Lbs), so registration required, the Remote ID will broadcast while using The Heavies. I got a my part 107 though. No channel yet.

[@michaelwagner8029]

M4P has larger plus battery option with advertised 47 minutes flight time versus 34 minutes with standard battery. But plus battery puts drone over 250 grams.
