DJI Mini 3 Pro vs. DJI Air 2S - Video and Feature Comparison

[@JonathanIvy221]

Was struggling between the mini 3 or air 2S. Decided to go with air 2S and I’m very happy. The photo quality is just kind blowing and I have no worries when flying in windy conditions.

[@Justin-dv7ul]

Sadly this new feature called remote id gonna come to drone over 250 grams, which includes the air 2S, so there might be a lot of reasons why you wouldn’t want a air 2S right now.

[@abedj1220]

@@Justin-dv7ul Good point. I just learned what remote ID is and I can see the benefit of 250 gram

[@2Bluzin]

@@Justin-dv7ul The Mini 3 Pro will also have remote ID according to DJI and FAA. The reason is remote ID will be required on all drones that are used for commercial purposes such as filming real-estate, KZbin channels, etc. regardless of weight. The 250g exemption only applies if you use it exclusively for recreational purposes.

[@Justin-dv7ul]

@@2Bluzin I know, but a lot of people like me do fly for recreational purposes only. And honestly I just wanna fly my drone for fun without having other people track where my drone and I are.

I prefer the air 2s. Way more detail in the video and much much better photos. And, as far as stability in wind goes, there's no comparison.

The Air2S can film in 5K which is really a big difference if you edit your own videos because it give you some room to crop in and still have 4K video output. Also, the Air2S has precision landing system that the Mini 3 does not. There's a second camera on the bottom that takes a picture of the ground that it uses to navigate return and landing in the exact spot not 3 feet away. Not really a big deal but impressive none the less. It's just more sophisticated.

[@waldtradition1166]

Air2S: better dynamic range, more detail: Both you can see clearly in his video fly comparison. This is not a small difference unless you shoot only for social media. Agreed 5.4K makes a big difference. You have a lossless Zoom of 1.4 as well. I only shoot in 5.4K and log. If I'm in tight spaces then I use the mini 2. Good enough.

[@jojjes3494]

@@waldtradition1166 is the difference really that big in dynamic range ? Difference in sensor size is not Huge btw them

[@waldtradition1166]

@@jojjes3494 The sensor size of Air2s is 1" that is 24%bigger than that of the Mini3 Pro. It does make a difference. I don't have Mini3 Pro so I can't compare, but judging from his footage the air2s has better dynamic range. Look at sky and ground and maybe you see a difference. I normally shoot in Log and this gives me even better dynamic range for post processing.

[@jojjes3494]

@@waldtradition1166 yeah i guess it tales alittle more tweaking in post with the m3pro to. Atleast the lens is faster so you can shoot at lower iso so the noise advantage doesnt seem to be that big .going for the m3 pro all the advantage with a sub 250 gram drone makes it worth to have less dr i guess for what i Will use it for

[@thors_papa5894]

I have an Air2S and a Mini 2. I’m going to Vancouver BC next week coming from WA and I am bringing the Mini 2 to fly in Canada. I love that I don’t have to register it because of the 249 g weight. I’m also bringing the 2S To use while still in the US and use it on stops along the way. I love having the two options. I thought about selling my 2S to buy the Mini 3 but I’ll just stick with having the two drones I have now as I have options for lighter travel with the Mini 2 and Air 2s for windy and higher quality work. The Mini 2 does have more stamps on it’s travel passport because it’s so portable and doesn’t annoy people :). Great video comparison!

[@themanyadventuresofgigiandpops]

As always well done! One point you may want to make folks aware of is the need to use a phone to get maps on the mini 3 RC when out in the field. Not sure that this is a big deal for most folks. I do like the mini 3 RC for it’s light weight and compact design. My Air 2S is feeling like a step child these days. Love the mini 3.

[@michaelbattin6717]

Can you answer a question for me? I thought the Air 2s could follow you, let say riding a bike. Is that true?

[@Tamagoman]

The comparison I was waiting for

[@ALTN8NRG]

I think even within regulations that it’s easier to launch a Mini drone without drawing much public attention vs. a larger drone. This can be the difference of being able to get the shots that you want. The Mini 3 offers high video and image quality and will cause less public disturbance in most areas.

Thanks for the compresence. Which one you think better for photogrammetry? I want a DJI Mini 3 Pro but it seems more people happier with DJI Air 2S. What do you think which one suits better? Thanks

[@deeper4cheaper128]

I have had the 2S for a while now, picked up a M3 pro to see if it would compare. It for sure holds its own but I am returning it, main issues are over heating, wind resistance, and build quality. The light weight aspect just isn’t worth sacrificing performance compared to the 2S. I was simply transferring some media from the drone to my phone by wire as I couldn’t get the quick transfer to work, it overheated indoors with the room at 75°F. Flying in Florida, the drone was warm after flight, way hot compared to the 2S, it didn’t overheat during flight but it is for sure a concern if you read some other reviews. I feel the overheating issue is worth passing up the M3P alone.

[@pelinelden]

I live in South FL, I was in between these two. Yes you’re right, but I was also considering in terms of ADS-B, I know that most of the time we fly in class G but I was thinking having ADS-B would be safer operation. Do you think is it too necessary ?

[@TheIzzyNobreShow]

Great video. I have the Mini 2 and the Mavic Air, and I'm seriously considering an upgrade to the Mini 3, mostly because of the vertical filming feature.

[@AirPhotography]

It is a nice feature. Thanks for watching and for your feedback

[@wesleyp3579]

Nice in-depth comparison Shawn! Although I truly don’t understand how both the Mini 3 and Air 2S are rated level 5 wind resistance when the Mini 3 is 249G and the Air 2S is a much sturdier 595G… It’s over double the weight!

[@TameTurtlez]

it could fight the wind the same, but the battery will deplete faster in the mini 3 because it has to use much more power to fight the same wind

[@brucesummers7448]

With wind the surface area of the aircraft is as much if not more of a factor than the weight. The Air 2S provides a lot more surface area to be buffeted by any wind.

I've been torn between these two drones. I find them to be equally great but I opted for the Mini 3 Pro to have it as a travel drone.

[@patc2515]

when folded down and stored in a case, isn't it only saving you a fraction of the space? is the actual bag carrying the drone even noticeably different in size between these 2 models? it's not very noticeable to me anyways.. the air 2s will out perform the mini 3 pro in most ways especially in actual flight performance ans camera where it matters most. people need to be careful when deciding between these 2 as they are not apples to apples and the current price difference isn't very much. I have both and there's just no situation where I want the mini 3 pro over the air 2s. both are cool but the air 2s is superior in my opinion, in every way that matters.

It is definitely better but I don’t really know if it’s by much. I’ve spent a lot of time comparing and I don’t know if you’re deciding between the two. If you should base video quality on the decision as they are very close.

[@SkipperSurfReview]

Thank you for the review! I love Air2s.. Solid Power Racehorse!

[@MojaveDuck]

I am on the fence between these two but something I find important is the controller. Right now the DJI RC works with the Mini 3 but not the Air 2S. Of course, one could purchase the DJI RC Pro, which works with the Air 2S, but the price of it is more expensive than the Air 2S itself. I read an article a few months ago that the Smart Controller, which was an option with the Air 2S, has been discontinued. I've been holding out waiting to see if DJI updates its firmware so the DJI RC will work with the Air 2S, which I would likely jump on. Good video, thank you.

[@AirPhotography]

Apparently, DJ made a statement that compatibility with the DJ IRC will be coming this month in October. I’ll make a video about that once it is available.

At 7:00, with the side-by-side, is the detail in the trees really the result of the sensor, or is that more of an exposure setting? The contrast on the 2S just seems better -- check out the detail in the foreground and the row of trees. There's a really stark difference.

[@americansoldier7776]

DJI is so awesome! I own the Air 2S, Skydio 2+, and the Avata. If I had to pick my favorite, it would have to be the Avata, just because of Its capability to fly FPV. So much fun!

[@sojourner57]

This is an Amazing Review. I've been holding off for a couple years getting a drone. I think the Mini 3 Pro is the one for me. I was tempted to go with the Air 2S, because it's sensor at 1" matches my other cameras. I can DEFINITELY see a difference in detail with the Air 2S coming out on top. That said, the huge difference in prices between the two with upgraded color controllers makes the Mini 3 a no brainer, at least for me. At the time of me writing this, the Mini 3 Pro with the RC color controller is US$909. For the Air 2S and the RC1Pro color controller I'd need to pay US$700-800 more.

[@kristenbrasil]

I am in the same boat! Did you decide on the mini 3 pro? Any reason why you didn't want to use the standard RC remote for $300 extra with the air S 2?

[@urbanstreet_4282]

Field of view is not so important when you are in the air, since in most cases you can simply take the shot from further away and then get the same framing. The biggest problem with the Air 2S is the fact that you need a drone license for it here in Europe, as it weighs over 250g. If you don't want to do that, the only option is the Mini 3 Pro. But I think the differences in video quality are so small that most people won't notice it. A big advantage is of course the compactness: the best drone is the one you always have with you.

In your video you said that you can fly a sub 250g drone in Canada beyond VLOS and go higher than 400 feet. Are you able to direct me to the section of the Transport Canada rules that state this?

[@AirPhotography]

That’s where it gets difficult. There’s not a rule that says you can but there’s not a rule that says you can’t for some 250. It gives you some suggestions for safe flight. It also states not to fly in a manner to put people or other aircraft at risk. This is what most people refer to as the don’t do anything stupid rule. Also just because you can doesn’t mean you should rule.

Mini 3 Pro is better for my needs. Latest model, easy parts availability, it will continue to receive firmware updates, and best of all, no registration fees. In my county Air 2S needs to be registered at an annual cost of $40, which makes it a very expensive drone to own after a few years use.

Mini 3 has serious range issues. The transmission of real time footage is a problem on Mini3.

[@bobmarkee6859]

I can reach 4+ miles with my Mini as opposed to maybe 3 miles on my Air 2s. Air 2s has a much shorter battery life providing even less range. I've found the Mini 3 with the larger battery is even better in the wind. Better power-to-weight ratio also.
