It sucks that the Air 3 isn't compatible at all with the RC and the RC-2 isn't compatible with any other drones. That alone is reason enough for me to not bother with the Air 3, unless DJI reneges and adds Air 3 compatibility to the RC.

I got my Air 3 and it is pretty good except that I did not realise all the zoom is digital and it has no optical zoom. Not a single launch video I watched mentioned "Digital Zoom" which of course makes the image quality worse the more you zoom. Carrying it around versus my Mini 3 Pro it is a lot more size and mass with just one battery weighing more than the Mini 3 Pro take off weight. With the longer flight times the RC also needs to be recharged after three 30 minute drone flights. Also it would seem if you set photo mode to 48Mp the digital zoom gets disabled. When video recording it would seem if you want to swap cameras you have to stop and start recording. I noted the battery firmware update can be carried out with no internet connection but the controller describes it as an Aircraft Update.

The actual sensor size is frankly the least of the things that matter.

Inquiring about the waypoints mode on the Mavic Air 3, I'm curious whether it supports native/on-board waypoints or if it solely relies on virtual stick waypoints. This is a critical factor in my opinion. Unlike the Mavic Mini 2, which only supports virtual stick waypoints, I'd like to determine if the Mavic Air 3 offers native/on-board waypoint support. A straightforward method to test this is by initiating a pre-planned waypoint mission and then turning off the remote controller in the middle of the mission. If the drone immediately halts the mission and returns to the controller's location, it indicates the use of virtual stick waypoints. Conversely, if the drone continues to complete the mission even without the connection to the controller and returns to the starting point after finishing the mission, it signifies support for native/on-board waypoints. In the past, DJI's previous drones, including the original Mavic Air, all had native waypoint support. However, for some unknown reason, DJI moved away from providing native waypoints. Nevertheless, it seems they have realized the importance of this feature and are possibly returning to support it. I just want to be absolutely sure. Ideally, a Mavic Mini 3 Pro with native waypoint support would be a real winner, and I hope DJI takes this into consideration.

Insightful, thank you. Used to fly a drone a while back, yet then their were so many restrictions on locations here in Sweden. Guess I can understand that too, private time on a beach or in a garden etc. Yet thought of getting one in the future again, due to being privileged in seeing the world from such dramatic heights. The support for 4K is also a bigger factor now. I did own a 4K monitor way back, yet there were hardly any decent footage available or relevant for me. It´s important to have a decent "Doorstop" for Photography and that I have yet to solve. I have done all the normal routs like photobooks, photo forums, online galleries and home page use. I do still have a New Letter and am considering a blog? I´m often out in the nature on my El Scooter and so tracking would be fun to try. I noticed it was pretty flat for you locally. Q.

A few observations - you say it's a really small price increase, however there are no ND filters or 100w charger in the fly more kit. The photos, to my eye, look horribly over-sharpened out of the box. You say the weight increase is insignificant, but when you consider the larger bag size and heavier batteries, carrying an air 3 fly more kit vs the air 2s is going to be a really big difference for travelling light on e.g. on aircraft with hand luggage. It would be good to see some actual comparison photos and video from the air 2s to judge if this is a true upgrade - after all, when you leave out all the bells and whistles the main aim here is to capture great photos and video.

I've noticed a serious issue with DJI video output and that is that it looks like it jumps frames or skips them. I thought it was maybe just me, but I've just seen it a few times in this video if you look closely enough (CAT digger and windmill scenes as an example) or anytime it's rotating around an object. It might be the fps in the video editor compared to the DJI video? It seems to go away when you slow the video down. But it's definitely there...

Absolutely love your reviews but I have to take issue with you on one thing. The 20 Megapixel photo of the Air 2S is far superior to so called "48 megapixel" photo of the Air 3. In reality, it's a 12mp photo like the Mini 3 Pro. Except for low light, any comparison video of those the Mini 3 Pro and Air 2S cameras, ranks the Air 2S better. I think an explanation of how they get to 48 megapixels through binning is warranted. Thanks again for all your great content!
@Dcrainmaker Жыл бұрын
The Air 3 actually doesn't use pixel binning for photos, it uses a pixel demosaic algorithm to combine the layers together from the front-side and backside-illuminated sensors. The Air 2S used just the backside, whereas the Air 3 uses a stacked CMOS sensor instead. They sent over a crazy detailed PowerPoint on it, I'll see if I can use parts of it or not. Either way, I tend to put things like this in the camp of 'Here's the photos, judge as you see fit."

Super video thank you! Between 2 waypoints, if for instance point 1 you are at 100m high. Point 2 you put at 200m high. Will it smoothly move from 100m to 200m between both waypoints or will it stay at 100m high all the time and once it reaches point 2, suddenly go up to 200m?
@Dcrainmaker Жыл бұрын
Yup, all transitions are smooth. Be it altitude changes, directional/heading changes, or...well..anything.

@@Dcrainmaker Thank you very much! So it does it progressively? If for instance the 2 points are 500m apart, going from 100m high on point 1 to 200m high on point 2, means at 250m on the way, the drone should be at 150m high, correct?
@Dcrainmaker Жыл бұрын
@@theresortcollection Yeah, it's simply smoothed over the entire distance between the two points, linearly. But there's also a little bit of ramping it does at the beginning/ending so it looks really smooth.

Why all footage is choppy? I noticed this on most of the DJI drones. I know nd filter can help with proper shutter speed, but I think its something else on processing level.

My guess would actually be on KZbin, the raw footage looks really clean.

Looks interesting but is it C1 certified and I guess it has Remote ID :) I spent a lot on their Crystalsky screen based on it working with future models which of course it was not 😢

Hi, nice review, but do you have any first hand confirmation the Air3 sensor is a 'stacked' type? From all the official specification sheets this is not mentioned and it is listed as identical to the Mini3 one...
@Dcrainmaker Жыл бұрын
Yup, check out my written review on it here, where I include the exact specifications/slides on the stacked sensors that the DJI engineering team sent over: www.dcrainmaker.com/2023/07/dji-air-3-in-depth-review-with-sports-tracking.html

As an Air 2S owner.... I will wait for the Air 3S. Its the only logical update. Either that or the mavic 3 classic.
@Dcrainmaker Жыл бұрын
I wouldn't expect an Air 3S, ever. The Air 2S was basically an in-between thing to burn time while DJI sorted out their lineups. I suspect from here on out we'll likely see the three lines kept in sync: Mini 4 series, Air 4 series, and Mavic 4 series.
@tatianatodorova5199 Жыл бұрын
@@Dcrainmakeragree also I think the air 3 was to close in the gap in-between the air series and mavic 3 series and an air 3s would literally kill the mavic 3 series if they added like adjustable aperture or like 1 inch sensor with the tech that the air 3 already has and plus the air 3 almost does everything that the mavic 3 series does of course the adjustable aperture but if they put that in the air series they would literally end the mavic 3 series and Dji basically put almost everything from the mavic 3 into the air 3 except like the large hassleblad camera and like the adjustable aperture like I said earlier but in my opinion the air series were never to go over the mavic series and the air 3s would take over the mavic 3 series
