Honestly the side object sensors alone are worth the upgrade for me. Every incident ive ever had with drones has been while orbiting or flying sideways. Plus the 46 mins of flight time is pretty spectacular for a drone this size

[@floatingrabbit3556]

Nope

[@Eskey4]

@@floatingrabbit3556 what "nope"? Do you think that 46mins is low?

[@therealjimmy5411]

The biggest problem is without an adjustable aputure you will have to use ND filters. Ok so what? The two lens are different max aputure. Ok so what? Your exposure will be different when you switch between lens. Ok so what? You will have to either adjust ISO or land and adjust your ND filter. Super annoying.

[@spiderthenics9462]

Question is how much is the real flight time..

[@Eskey4]

@@spiderthenics9462 probably around 40 minutes, DJI has proven to be really good in that matter

[@schuey323]

Can i just say HOW happy I am to have Sam back? Love that dude.

Totally

[@nmsantos61]

Yes

[@TheIsidroRuiz]

Sam and Gene in the Desert is seriously some of the best content I have EVER seen! LOL

[@ElyPenner]

The Air 3 looks like the perfect mid ground between the mini and the cine. I love those desert shots. What an absolutely amazing landscape. Looking forward to that Rampage video.

5:23 DYLAAAANNN!!! DYLAN MY BOY!!!!! So good to see you!!

[@DMProductions]

Gene never disappoints with the locations! 😮

[@khoatran-sv7je]

It's finally here! I just bought this from D1 store and I can't wait! This should be a massive upgrade from my Mavic air 2, i'm really happy they added that medium tele camera, it's basically a mavic 3 pro at a fraction of the price! What I also like is how DJI shortened the hood above the gimbal, this allows the drone to do low angle shots up to 60 degrees, a feature only the Mini 3 series had.

[@LaurenceYugo]

I love that Sam is back, you guys have a really nice chemistry

[@ToddDeSilva]

When embargoes are lifted you are usually one of the few I watch and you didn’t disappoint 😊. This new drone is NUTS!!! It looks so good.

[@GOTIVITY]

3:58 Never thought I would hear Iron Maiden music in a Potato Jet video, so cool!

[@blackbugmedia]

5:22 I’m just here for this. Lol

[@joelconolly5574]

Consumer grade drone are getting better and better 😎

[@Wingman112]

You should make a comparison video between new drones and old ones to see how much they improved. Probably a mid range drone like this one, is better than a Mavic 2 Pro. This will also help the users who are unsure if they should switch/upgrade

[@SkyTouch08]

I was concerned about the smaller sensor but the image quality looks awesome. Great job dji

[@RonaldBrown59]

It’s a very impressive new drone, I like some of new features. And footage in the desert was awesome, what a beautiful location. Thanks for sharing.

[@muzairafzal1529]

Brother.....After a long long long time, I found a quality channel that is yours.......Keep up the good work bro........just keep going, don't stop!!!

[@pjfonline]

So we really need to wait for the Air 3S to get an update.

[@maddox.winning]

The first video I see when I open KZbin, I freaked out. 😂 It’s already release day and Gene releases a review. This is a good morning! 👍

[@leslie_lenz]

Whenever I see your video is Up, I am excited because I know there are going to be some sick drone shots. Great work always Gene.🤩😎

[@jimmystewartuk]

Easily the best review yet of the Air 3 👏🏼 Everythjng you need to know with real world tests

[@ChrisParayno]

This is the first time in years, I may finally be considering and upgrade from my Mavic Air 2. Maybe iʻll wait 6 months or less, and the Mavir Air 3 "S" may come out. Great stuff gang!

[@don-xl]

@Potato Jet Thanks for the review, Gene. Your reviews are always informative, enlightening and you guys look like you have major fun!!

[@jlutz63]

I currently have a Mini 2 and I’ve been looking for an upgrade that has 360 obstacle avoidance and I feel this is the perfect drone for an upgrade

[@yonakdesigns]

Totally agree! Are you gonna keep yours or sell to upgrade

[@justincosplay]

The one positive thing about the actors strike is we get more Sam !!!

[@BrianPhoto]

Grats to almost reaching 1mil subs Gene and the Potato Jet fam

[@drmatthewhorkey]

Those opening minutes are some EPIC shots!

[@TheHudsonValleyWanderer]

I'm still using my Air 2 and I love it!

[@AaronBlankenship]

These shots are so much more epic at 60 FPS! I wish everybody would get on board.

[@ConnorDRyan]

nah. 24 fps is best

[@muzammilahmed3214]

It really depends but most of the times 60 FPS is the best choice, my case as well because then i can do time remapping without any lag

DYLAN IS BACKK

[@mangoldm]

Is that Glamis? What I love about that place is you don’t have to leave the parking lot to get really great shots. 😂

I’ve been waiting forever for this thing to come out. Definitely buying it.

[@tylertay0094]

Wow that dolly zoom of Sam in Master shot was pretty cool!

[@nickyumsh]

Dji air 2s also has only D-Log M, not regular D-Log:)

[@YuiSenpai]

i must confess that i thoroughly enjoy watching all of your videos. your channel has been instrumental in fueling my passion for videography. i was wondering, if you don't mind sharing your expert opinion, whether upgrading to the Air 3 from the Mini 3 Pro would be a worthwhile decision? on another note, im eagerly anticipating your next FPV video, as your creativity truly shines through in your content and that Dylan's part, that is a lounge designed for watching haha keep up the fantastic work potato!

[@ething321]

I can't believe I got it the video 😂 I am probably the youngest one here at 16 and you have inspired me to work on my photos but I have found it a little hard to get into videography but you inspire me every video to get out there and learn.

[@lecolintube]

Awesome! Really appreciate the return to reading the comments! (As well as the drone video content 😉)

[@MandicReally]

The telephoto is rad, but the Air2S does 5.4k video, wider lens, & has a larger sensor. Not entirely sure I'd want to trade that just for the telephoto lens. Since I got the Air 2S, none of the newer offerings have made me regret my purchase.

[@maximusolybrius4612]

Same here, ma boi

[@muzammilahmed3214]

Agreed !but what do you thibk about that 360 avoidance you're getting with this drone . Wouldn't that be enough to upgrade from Air 2s considering that despite the smaller cam sensor in this drone it has better low light capability

[@willcarter7079]

I'm patiently waiting for you to summon a sand worm.

[@Jhorne84]

Nope, not this Air 2s owner

[@BMacksAerialVisuals]

Agree. While the Waypoints feature, extended flight time and obstacle avoidance are great improvements, given DJI's recent track record of model upgrades, I'll wait to see what comes after this one.

[@femiomomo4467]

Non of the drones currently available from Dji meet my requirements. I need 1.a minimum of 20 real megapixels . 2. Mechanical Shutter. 3. A "rate switch" which halfs the amount the srone moves per millimetre of stick movement, for smoother shots. Not the same as Cine mode. 4. The 60 degree vertical gimbal is essential for panoramic shots. 5. Red and green lights on the legs, for ezsy orientation identification. The same as on full size boats and planes. The potential of an upcoming Mavic 4 with an updated 24mm main camera with the same new processing technology thats in the current 3x camera. The Air 3S now has the potential to have a larger sensor, which would be an interesting drone for sure. In both new drones we can look forwad to adding sound as in the X1 Hover.😊

[@arizonalifestyle79]

Whats the location of the sand dunes?

[@Marc-io6pv]

Air3 classic with M4/3 hopefully.

[@ZakariasChronicles]

That's a fantasy! 😄 They're not gonna cannibalize the Mavic 3 classic. My hunch says a 1" sensor with variable aperture. And maybe a better telephoto camera.

[@Marc-io6pv]

@@ZakariasChronicles Maybe so but will happen one day. What exactly is the Air3 pro then considering it already has the more useable 70mm you want the tri lense setup?

[@ZakariasChronicles]

No, just a better secondary camera, like they did with the 7x camera on the Mavic 3 Pro, it is better than the 7x on the Mavic 3. But what I want is just the 1" sensor. Whatever else they add is a cherry on the cake.

[@Marc-io6pv]

@@ZakariasChronicles Dual 1inch? Now who's dreaming :p I can't wait to see this Vs Air2s comparison videos for the main camera, could be interesting.

[@Demullete]

sorry i disagree for the sensor size, Gene said "prefer good lens rather than good sensor" but my experience said "full frame image quality is better, even in F4 lens, than a APS-C size on F2.8 Lens".

[@RedBlackFilms]

Can definitely notice the smaller sensor vs the Air 2s. Bummer.

[@dicekolev5360]

So are we now reverting back with the sensor specs! Next year they will be selling Mini 2 but with two cameras?!

[@wakkinito]

Yeah that’s basically the biggest update. They’re just like Apple just keep adding cameras. Running out of ideas

[@HokkaidoSan]

@@wakkinitoit’s the air, what we’re expecting? 😂 they’re just passing down what the M3 has. If you want new stuff, wait for next gen flagship like the Mavic 4. This doesn’t even have d-log.

@@HokkaidoSan it does have D-Log. @ 5:26

Well guess you should see it as a upgrade to air 2, the upgrade to air 2s Will come later

I’ll take the air2s over this. No D-Log is a deal breaker for me

[@johnbarleycorndoe]

no 10bit 422as well. they ditched the chroma subsampling spec for a reason, for sure

[@theboredtrucker3898]

12:00 The Potato Jet must have a flux capacitor cause he went back in time to get drone footage of the Titanic.

[@jeremyg9305]

With that f1.7 aperture you're probably still capturing more light on the main lens of this unit than the 2S with it's f2.8 opening.. It's like using a full frame with a kit lens VS a crop sensor with a nice f1.4 prime lens.

[@irvingmartinez98]

Much love potato!

[@jamesgallaccidrone]

Do i regret getting a Mavic 3 Cine? not really... maybe a little bit... but cant wait to add this to the fleet. I love that you share your thoughts compared to the specs. 👍🏻

[@williamzeushardy]

why no full d-log, makes no sense for the options below it and above it to have access to it but not the air 3.

[@Perceivedshift]

x2 A good tripod in the pro space is a MUST. It plays such a huge part in my workflow as a RE photographer. Sensor size of the Air 3 is a little bit of a let down, but I think for the price it might be worth the upgrade from my Air 2 which does not support RID...which will be a problem in a few months.

Another great review! Are you doing a A6700 review? Every time a new camera comes out, I look forward to the Potato Jet heat test.

[@user-db1xh4fd2u]

The new drone and the new model imply a more advanced AI. No blogger discusses this issue. In my opinion, at this point in time, the most advanced and quick-thinking AI in the American copter Skydio2. And as for the new DJI AIR 3 - I want to hear a sane answer to a simple question: imagine that (this new model) is quite far away, and you raised the copter to the maximum height to fly around the snow-covered top of the mountain.The copter began to fly around in a circle and direct visibility is blocked behind the top.You, the mountain, and the copter are on the same line, the copter is behind the top.The connection is broken. Will the copter have enough intelligence to return? According to the firmware limitation, he will not be able to climb higher, he has a height restriction.Will it return on the reverse trajectory? Or will it land the battery in a hover and fall over the mountain? Can anyone explain this question?

[@TheSangjy]

I guess there is gonna be a air 3 cine

[@beedroneinsta]

Hey really good breakdown of the new air 3 drone. some great shoots there in the desert. The speed of the drone ascending and descending are interesting. but Dillons comment where very funny 5 mins 28 seconds just class. hope all is well
