DJI Mini 3 Pro VS DJI AIR2s | WHO WINS?

[@DMProductions]

Hey! Both these drones are great but if you could only pick one??

[@techunboxer]

I think the mini 3. Seems like a mini air 2s but with other cool features. Edit: but it's smaller

[@ryanhealey905]

I would say mini 3. Because where you can fly.

[@granthorner]

Just a heads up great video btw but your slide says the air2s has a 1.8 aperture but it’s actually a 2.8 aperture.

[@NKaumans]

Air2S for me. I own the Air2S and the Mini2, and tried the Mini3. Mini 3 is a great drone however I tend to fly in more windy environments and while they have the same max wind speed (level 5) there is just no comparison. The heavier Air2s and faster top speeds not only are more stable but has the extra power when you need to overcome wind resistance when returning home. The other thing is the range, while they both have O3 the Air2S has double the transmitters and receiving antennas. The Mini 3 is a 1T2R antenna setup while the Air2S is a 2T4R

[@jmartinez728]

I didn’t know all this! Thanks man

[@spacehopper77]

Thanks. I own a mini 2, love it but as I live in Northern Scotland I often find many days that I want to fly I can not due to strong winds. How much better is the 2s in strong winds? Im not talking storms but just the usual Scottish winds while out on the hills.

[@Roboticdoughbull3k]

@@spacehopper77 Don't be silly mate, I own the mini2 and it's as good in wind on sport and normal modes as my Fimi X8se 2020 drones were in higher wind. Mostly Its all in the head man, fly her she'll be fine.

[@2Bluzin]

You skipped over the TOP SENSORS that that Air 2S has that the mini 3 is missing. I was on the fence with all the hype around the mini 3 pro. But ultimately I chose the Air 2S. More stable in the wind, faster speeds, more collision detection sensor, 5.4K video which gives me some room to crop in and still be at 4K. Plus I think the D-Log is still better than the Cine-Log even though they are both 10 bit. And something I really didn't think was a big deal but turned out to be really helpful was the ADS aircraft detection. It really helps if you live in a city like I do. I hate vertical video, amateur hour so purposely trying to film that way is not feature to me. I am not a TicTocker so I digress. Live in the U.S. so size of drone is really a non issue. 5 dollars to register, other than that the rules are the same across the board for most drones, rules not based on weight.

[@madhatter8088]

I agree totally. Also the Air 2s has a landing light. I fly at night a lot and that landing light really helps. Also there's no cooling fan on mini 3.. The Air 2s just feels like quality, it feels solid.

[@4seeableTV]

You make good points. A lot of people think that not needing to register a drone means you don't have to abide by the rules in place for drones. You do.

[@ChuckD05]

This is a hype video. Trying to sell it with his Amazon link. 2s is better than the 3 pro. Marginally yes , but watching this video you’d think the 3pro wins across the board. Not even close.

[@JeffWhiting]

I lost my Air 2S a few weeks ago, and have been on the fence about replacing it. I don't do much commercial work - mainly just social postings, but I did like the quality I had. I'm worried that the camera on the Mini 3 is actually 12 mp, and not a true 48. I still have all the fly-more stuff from the Air 2S, but am not comfortable buying a brand new one when it's been out for over a year now. It's a tough call!

[@troyb83]

true 20 mpx from dji air 2s better than mini 3 pro, but video 4k i like mini 3 pro

[@gbkiller007]

Sorry to hear that Jeff. I would honestly wait as they will announce the AIr 3 pretty soon. The mini 3 is great but it has its limitations in flight that the Air 2 S doesn't have. Even in low wind you can see it in the footage compared to the heavier drone. If portability hasn't became an issue for you I would wait. Range and battery times have been overstated on the Mini 3 by DJI too. Real world it is solid up to 1.8km and not the 8km advertised pre launch and 30 mins battery is more like a useable 20 mins. Its not the distance but more the strength of signal. The antennas on the Mini 3 are non existent compared to the Air 2S and the DJI RC range is garbage on top of that. The Air 3 is scheduled for this half of the year but expect another 200 quid more expensive than the Air 2S.

[@JeffWhiting]

@@gbkiller007 I just bought a new Air 2S fly-more combo, as it's being sold right now for the same price as the base drone. I know it will probably be obsolete in a few months, but it will always be a better camera than the Mini 3. I plan to get one of those as well over the next few months, but I still have all of my batteries and accessories for the Air 2S, so now I'll have more than enough. I can't go months without a drone!

[@calambria100]

Did you lost it in the water? Ive lost mine taking off from a boat and it hit the flag of the boat.. and sunk to the deeply 20 meter bottom.

[@JeffWhiting]

@@calambria100 I lost it in the woods. I looked for it for a long while, but it was too dense and probably up in the trees somewhere. I had the RTH too low and it disconnected and got stuck in front of the trees.

[@usadroneflyer]

Great Info! I chose the Air 2 (MA2) after the Air 2S came out just because of the price and I do not regret it. However, after getting my Part 107 and flying the MA2 I was so hooked, I went and purchased the Mini 3 Pro (delivered yesterday) with 2 Fly more + kits because of the features. Just flying in my living room shows me the Mini 3 Pro will be my main go to drone. I am inching to get out and fly that little bugger... Likely will later this afternoon!

[@BlairAir]

Great rundown of 2 great drones. While every drone company in Shenzen (except ZeroZero Robotics) was cloning Mini/Mavic form factor, DJI decided "we created the form factor, so we can break from it" And the form follows function look is proof. Some serious points in its favor: JUST LOOK at the sensor sizes by surface area, a much easier measurement than 1/1.3 -based on what diameter 1950's TV camera vacuum tube it would fit inside: ______________________ Mini 2: 28.46mm² Mavic Air 2: 30.72mm² Mini 3 Pro: 69.12mm² Air 2S: 116.16mm² Mavic 3: 224.9mm² While its a smaller sensor than Air 2S, it's quad Bayer, and it includes dual native ISO (two conversion gain modes), supports tone-mapped HDR footage (greater range squeezed into an SDR space) and is capable of capturing both 12MP and 48MP images. Mini 3 can capture H.264 and H.265 video up to 150 Mbps (up from 100 Mbps on the mini 2). Slow-motion capture is done in either 4K@60fps or 1080@120fps. We have 60° upwards gimbal- not even fully utilized yet. Portrait mode. Every Autonomous flight mode on Air 2S is available on Mini 3. While not available in UK/EU, we have 47 min. rated batteries, O3, and the quietest Drone in DJI History THAT IS A LOT TO RECOMMEND DJI MINI 3 PRO. It's also took the title of homliest drone from Air 2S. But every millimeter is form follows function.

[@ghostrider67]

Just come back from holiday in Scotland,, I have a mini 2 and an Air 2S. Because of the high winds I experienced my mini 2 never came out of the bag, it would have been blown away for sure, even the Air 2s struggled at times but wow does it ever handle high winds well, very impressed with it.

[@davegoldsmith2588]

Nice comparison. I think also the build quality of the air2s is worth mentioning. I crashed mine earlier in the year from a good hight and nothing broke. I literally just needed to clean it. I don't own a mini 3 but for it to be that lightweight, it may not last as long or survive a big hit. If you have insurance then no problem but I can't get it here where I live, so for me the air2s is the best one still.

[@NOBODY-sx4cj]

Hi, just want to know what are the max ranges you get on air2s ? And what is the flight time u get ? I'm planning to get a drone but don't know which one to choose 😭😭

[@davegoldsmith2588]

Yes, good point. Think the air 2s will last longer..

[@osssimohamed2483]

I think the air 2 is the best choice at some point because its able to withstand strong winds.

[@femiomomo4467]

I would buy the DJI Air2S for the following reasons. 1. The Air2s can carry a lot more weight without issues so adding accessories is no problem. EG carrying a 360 camera. 2. I need the speed and power for use on boats on a windy day. 3. Because the Air2S has more power it can use the insta360 Sphere, which is amazing! 4. The AIR2S can turn its camera sideways which means it dose not require side sensors, because it can travel forwards while looking to the side. 5. The Air2S can be modified simply to increase range with both controllers. 6. The Air2S has double the transmitters and receiving antennas

[@mboutdoors_uk]

Only flown my M3P a couple of times so far but I’m very very impressed. For someone like myself who’s using it on top of mountains or long hikes there’s really only one choice. The saving in space and weight, with as far as I can see no real downsides (aside maybe real strong winds) makes it a no brainer 👌🏼

[@DMProductions]

Yes it’s super portable isn’t it glad you liking it

[@Sauce_Ricky]

So you notice a couple hundred grams of difference in weight? 😂

[@RaniRani-zt2tr]

ONE THING WORTH MENTIONING the air 2s does not become as hot as the mini 3 pro because well the fan and the crops on the air 2s are quick release vs the screws on the mini 3 But other than that........

[@Tphive]

Great video, but some of your points about image quality seem a little disingenuous. If you're looking at the footage on a phone or a 1080p display, you might not notice the difference. But when viewing in 1440p or 4k on larger displays, (I'm using 27" 1440p) the difference is evident. The fine textures is where it's most noticeable, with the clip from 0:13-0:20, in the bushes, there are blobs of foliage with the Mini 3 Pro and defined, textured bushes with the Air 2S. Look at the lines on the football pitch, M3P has undefined "lines", whereas the Air 2S has sharp lines, especially if you pause at any moment. I say all of this as a first drone Mini 3 Pro owner, and I'm finding myself a little wanting. The 60 degree up-angle, vertical shooting, longer battery (extended), and low sound profile are what make the Mini 3 Pro stand out to me, but image quality isn't quite there, there's lots of purple fringing too. I'm honestly considering switching to an Air 2S, but will probably end up keeping the Mini 3 Pro and eventually picking up a Mavic 3 in addition, when I can afford it.

[@DMProductions]

Yes you will see a difference on a bigger screen and for pro work you need a bigger step up, the difference from the mini and the air2s isn’t enough for me however the mavic 3 and the mini 3 is my perfect combo

[@alexander-gt]

Even on a 15-inch Macbook Pro 2015 retina screen (2880 x 1800) the difference is clearly visible.

I have both and there is a noticeable difference and the air2s wins. Especially with photos. Wind stability goes to the air2s as well. And for professional work, I use the air2s. The mini 3 is a good drone but the Air2s is just better and everyone knows it.

@10:12 does that RC remote do screen recording? Whenever I use my phone on a Drone Remote I screen record my flight.

[@gregglevenson6861]

Not to mention air sense is so nice. It really really beeps and it will lower in altitude if you’re on a collision course at the same altitude. All drones need this not RID.

[@anthonyshort8957]

The pricing slide at 10:54 is confusing because it has a mixture of pounds and dollars. Also the Air 2S kit (at least in the US) comes with the older smart controller, not the newer RC Pro. There was a brief period earlier this year when they were including the RC Pro in the bundle (for $1749) but I don't believe that is available any more. If you do know where to get an Air 2S + RC Pro for $1499 please post a link!

[@111TheFox111]

Sorry, but if you can't tell the difference between the 2 you need a better screen. I have a 32'' 4k screen and saw right away that the Air 2s had more detail and was sharper.

[@jameshobbychannel]

Nice video! There are also some other considerations. If you fly commercially, your vlos is better with the air 2s. If you have a scheduled flight and the wind is terrible on that day, the air 2s gives you a little more security. Also I have a question is there an excellent fast charger for use in a car in between jobs while driving?

[@8dcphoto]

Other advantage for the Mini 3 Pro esp in the UK. Sub 250g isn't within the transitional drone class so remains legacy. Air2S is a transitional legacy drone so goes A3 only at the end of the period meaning you'd need the GVC and OA to fly outside of A3 after that regardless of whether you have an A2CoC.

Now you can use the RC Controller with Air2s too. But the problem is that DJI will not update Air2s for C-Class standard at the moment. Then you can fly in A3 area only, means 150m away from urban area from 01.01.2024. I asked DJI and they told me that no further C-Class Update or Drone will be released this year. Thus I'm thinking to sell my Air2s and go to Mavic Classic, because I have every day wind if I fly...

[@RayGoodwinCanoe]

Very useful. thanks

[@Chorge1972]

The difference in Sensor-Size is much larger, than your statement makes the people think! The AREA is nearly double the size! On this double sized area 20MP are placed. Mini 3 has 4:3 size with 12MP, while Air2S used 3:2, which is native for photography! So if you crop the Mini 3 to 3:2, it looses Megapixels. Maybe 10MP or less will be left. Yes - each pixel will have approx. the same size as a single pixel of the Air2S Sensor, which indicates the same low light capability. But you have double information collected with the doublesize Air2S, than with the Mini 3! And regarding aperture: Don’t be blinded by the pure f-numbers! It all depends on the projection area! The f2.8 is not worse than the f1.7, as the sensors differ in size! If they would be the same, f1.7 would be the winner - but in our case, it’s just there, to bring it maybe on par! Don’t get me wrong! There Mini 3 is an awesome drone with a brilliant camera! But the cam of the Air2S is way better!! Anyway, I sold my Air2S, and own now just the Mini 3 - because it’s cam IS GOOD, not great, but mostly OK. Forget about these 48MP - only useable with very good light! 4Bayer adds more problems than solutions. Maybe nice in Video?! Vertical mode is awesome!!! Overall, the Air2S is the much better drone - but: 250g count!!!!!

Air 2s is not worse in low light! It may have a smaller aperure but it has a bigger sensor! Also more details in photos and overall a bit better camera !

Air 2s is a much better built drone, ready for serious beating around the clock, and the choice of many professionals. Mini 3 Pro is working fulltime on redline to try and keep up, they are not the same league, even when SOME results are similar. Also 48mpx is a bust as much as the Ari 2 was, 12mpx is what should be considered.

[@ChuckD05]

Funny no one likes this bc they all went for the few dollar cheaper m3p. Compare footage and they’ll see which is better !

[@justplanefred]

In the USA to fly the mini 3 you wouldn’t have to register it as long as you used the stock sized battery. The extended battery would push it into the weight it would need to be registered. If you use it in a commercial application (receive something of monetary value. Like KZbin monetization, etc.) it would need to be registered regardless. I only bring this up as you showed something about the Part 107 (USA Commercial Drone License)

Great info. Helps to affirm my decision making.

[@DMProductions]

Thank you 😊

I have the Mini SE but want the RC so I don’t have to use a phone. More restrictions in USA in Sept. have 3 on my radar. Just wish DJI would make the RC compatible with the SE.

I have the mavic pro2 and sold my mavic air and bought the mini 3 pro. What I like about the mini 3 pro is I can fly it almost anywhere with my basic license. Better is irrelevant if you aren't able to use it

[@John_McFadden]

Thanks for posting this video but I'm still undecided. On one of your slides you say that the Air 2S can be purchased with the RC Pro. However, I can't find that configuration for sale. DJI does show an option with the Smart Controller which is the older controller, not the RC Pro. If there is an option to buy the Air 2S with the RC Pro, can you please tell me where i=I can find it. Thanks!

@@rogermartin404 That wasn't my question

My new favorite thing to do with my DJI mini 3 is to do hyperlapse videos. Yesterday that love almost cost me my drone. I made 3 significant mistakes in this order: 1st I flew my drone when the temperature was at 104 degrees. 2nd I flew two fairly long hyperlapses (15 seconds and 10 seconds one after the other. 3rd I did it over a lake. About 200 pictures into the second with signal strong and 40 battery I suddenly got a screen that turned red with an overheat forced landing message and the drone began to drop towards the middle of the lake. My screen recording shows I came within 3 feet of the water before I was able to get it to start climbing and made the shore before it landed with me still pushing forward on the left stick. Watching my screen recording I noticed an x next to the forced landing. Do you think if I had pressed it the forced landing would have stopped. Or was it coming down anyways. Would love any comments.

Great comparison , really enjoying the mini 3 . Incidentally my screen locked up three times yesterday ! I hadn't done the latest update which I did as soon as I got home , hopefully that will sort it . Great video as usual 👍

[@Martijnhermans1]

The original Mavic pro had a vertical video/photo mode ;). So the M3P isn't the first.

[@mustachio118]

Casual flyers would like the Mini 3Pro more for sure! The RC controller and the drone's weight adds to its convenience . Plus the drone is easy to bring to holidays and vacations too

[@christiancaruana5384]

thank you finally i have decided can you tell me more which country does allow drones under 500g pls ?

[@stst8301]

Air 2s,robust flying machine

[@asm_sannu]

Now DJI Air 2s Combo Pack price is the same as the Mini 3 Pro , which one should i buy ?

[@PINACI]

Simple choice is the DJI mini 3 pro due to the 249g weight which means you have less restrictions on where you can fly in the UK. Mini 3 is a no brainer.

[@kennychanth8404]

great comparison video, thank you.

[@DMProductions]

You're welcome!

[@garysaerialviews]

Another good one Darren,👌👍

[@truthseeker36]

got the Air2s but just ordered the mini3pro the other say. I think I'm going to keep both. 😊

[@joebeck0]

Really torn between these two still. I want to be able to do videos at night which is why the mini 3 pro aperture sounds great, but I am worried about wind in my area making it not stable. Also the portrait mode on the mini 3 is ideal for me as my goal is to publish to shorts and Instagram reels, and not have to worry about the cropping area on the air 2S.

[@DimmyV]

Someone is using Niklas Christl text graphics. Nice. I like the video, already have the Mini 2. Currently moving to FPV as its more immersive flight experience but will carry on with cinematic flight with Mini 2.Choosing between the 2 is hard. Low light is probably the main driver the Mini 3 has IMO, but one point you missed is what is the usage for the drone as it's geared to mainly filming. The Air 2S had its SDK updated that can now be used for commercial aspects like mapping something the Mini 3 is not supported yet.

[@CaminoAir]

The 48 mega pixel camera is (like the Air 2) a Quad Bayer, not true 48 mp. The Mini 3 has a true 12 m.p. camera. Whether this will make any difference to most people interested in it, I don't know. The AirSense on the Air 2S does have some limitations (unlike the Mavic 3). It won't function in Active Track or in 4k 30fps video. Since DJI make available for download PDF versions of their drone manuals on their website, I'd recommend people first read over them. They're neither too long, nor too dense with info, but they will tell you all the necessary info you will need to make the best comparisons and purchasing decision. Both drones are rated for wind speeds of 10.7 meters per second, but the Air 2S stands up better to wind and is more stable. The Mini 3 will show a bit of jostling of the video.

[@Droneguy-be1fy]

Incorrect on the video quality front in high wind. Due to the much better gimbal design and travel on the Mini 3 Pro it is much smoother in high wind. The Air 2S maxes out fairly quickly when the Mini 3 can nearly be 90’ before it jolts the video

[@CaminoAir]

@@Droneguy-be1fy Sorry, I've seen the review footage from several YT drone reviewers. It clearly shows the Mini 3 Pro being less able to compensate for wind, which would be completely understandable.

[@eadjh98]

The mini 3 was the one I bought! And glad that I did Darren because of the less restrictions! 👍great video bud !

[@jamied8076]

Just curious about the sound of the drone in flight, I had a DJI Air 1, loved it’s size but the noise was so annoying. I have heard the mini 3 has a much deeper tone so is less intrusive and easier to live with, can you confirm this?

[@armandoferreira8790]

The Mini3 Pro is the quietest drone ever. The noise is low tone and as soon as it flies away you stop hearing it.

[@tonyrobinson362]

@@armandoferreira8790 But I bet the folks your flying over can hear it as with any drone you may not hear it a km away but someone will usually.

[@fromsujoy]

Thanks lot ... All confusion get cleared ...
