DJI Mavic Air 3 Review: This Drone Finally Makes Sense!

For the past few years, the Air series has been the black sheep in DJI's drone family: it lacked that special something to make it stand out. This year, DJI has given the Air 3 a much-needed makeover of dual cameras that better bridges the gap between the Mini and the Mavic Pro.

By the way, it's not Mavic Air 3. It's AIR 3. People get a bit confused with that. Like from Air 2s upgraded to Air 3 ...Go back and check your unboxing, check the box, it says on it, DJI AIR 3. Good contents though .

Is this half chrome?

Saving up for this drone right now. I’m coming back to work from a hit and run on the job which set me back. I have to work another 6 weeks to get this (I’m 17). I should have it by spring break! Wish me luck.

I have 2 phones and my 15 pro max is a backup. It makes for a way better and brighter display than the controller screen.

[@whotshisface]

Air 3 definitely better video than mini 3 pro.i think you need to side by side them and reassess that.

[@PegasusDroneImaginings-td4un]

The DJI Air 3 is not a Mavic? I hate the lie that DJI and 'influencers' propogate that the DJI Air 3 can fly 46 minutes... I have the Air 3 and Mini 4 pro (plus batteries) and they both only fly for 30 - 32 minutes maximum. If it is windy, the fly time is less. I flew both on a windy day this week, the Air 3 RTH at 24 minutes and the Mini 4 pro RTH at 27 minutes. Buyers need to be told the TRUTH, not lied to as usual. Greetings from Australia

[@JoshConnectMedia]

It practically depends on the way you are flying , the weather conditions and the functions you are using while flying. I have the Air 3 and I do fly it around 37 mins to 40 mins using Normal mode and tweaking the Gain and Expo settings to cinematic settings.

[@whotshisface]

I get very close to the advertised time. Unlike my mini, emptying the batteries can be a chore. Do you have more than one battery? Something doesn't sound right

[@PegasusDroneImaginings-td4un]

@whotshisface I have the flymore combo, so 3 batteries. The longest flight I have had is 34 minutes, the average about 30 minutes. Sea level and between 20 and 30 degrees C. My Mini 4 pro gets about the same even with plus batteries (flymore also). The batteries are charged with a 100w power brick and topped off before flight (they haven't reduced to 96% in the charger)

[@whotshisface]

@@PegasusDroneImaginings-td4un Going to have to time it now 😂 Definitely last me comfortably past 30 minutes though. Also noticed you talk about the air 2 and air 3. Not sure if the air 2 RTH comment was a typo.

[@PegasusDroneImaginings-td4un]

@@whotshisface I start a screen recording on takeoff and shut it down on landing, so every flight is timed. Also, the logs on the RC2 logs each flight

I didn't know DJI had released a Mavic Air 3 drone. I'm aware of the DJI Air 3 but the Mavic Air 2, was the last Mavic Air they made There is no Mavic Air 3.

[@solo8820]

The review was way off too. It’s not the same camera on the 4 pro. The Air 3 is way more advanced.

[@joshuadabrowski0033]

The air 3 came out last July

[@leonmoore101]

@@joshuadabrowski0033 I know, I bought one the day when it came out then a month later I bought a "Mavic 3 Pro" but there is no "Mavic Air 3" just a "DJI Air 3"

[@brennan2007]

​​​ it's LITERALLY the same. In fact, the mini 4 pro, 1x/3x Air 3, and the Mavic 3 Pro 3x are all using the EXACT same sensor. Its a good sensor, so why would they develop different ones? It would probably cost more in the end to develop a lower cost but decent quality sensor for the Mini, so it makes sense to just have parity and use the same sensor for multiple models.

[@darrenmiddleton9455]

This sounded so confusing 😂 you knew but didn’t maybe it’s me

[@DronePalopo]

Drones are expensive and the quality is really good, I used a cheap drone at night, the results were very bad🥲😂

[@freeman-1776]

Dude you couldn't be more wrong. I've owned and flown the Air 1,2 and 3. They are all perfect. Your opinion makes no sense at all.
