DJI Air 3 replacing my Mavic 3 Pro

[@markfreemanvideo]

I would love to see a side by side comparison in a low light / night situation between Air 3, Mavic 3, and some of the older "pro" models like Phantom 4 pro. From my experience, owning Phantom 4 pro and Mavic 2 pro, Phantom was still way ahead of Mavic in low light. However at least on paper, Mavic 3 has a significantly larger sensor.

[@MrEddieNunez]

Great suggestion and I do plan on creating a video covering this topic soon.

[@ModularMuscle]

yes to this, please.

[@markfreemanvideo]

​@@MrEddieNunez I actually tested Mavic 3 recently against P4P. The main difference is (to my taste) default sharpness and noise reduction on Mavic 3 is too agressive. I can roll it back on P4P - but there is no sharpness and noise reduction sliders on Mavic 3. Does Mavic 3 Pro has it? It seems like Air 3 has it, but not Mavic 3 series. This is a little bit of a deal breaker for me, since I prefer to work with softer footage and sharpen / denoise in post (topaz video AI does a great job on that)

Just chose the Air 3 over the Mavic 3 pro just know you are 100 percent right!

EXCELLENT DEMO AND EXPLAINING THE UNIT. I HAVE MY COMING FROMAMAZON DJI. I DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS COMING OUT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[@MrEddieNunez]

Sweet! Congrats!

[@BlueDroneBlues]

Hi, Eddie. There is no way this drone is better than the Mavic 3 Cine. Mavic 3 Cine has Drone mapping,(I wish my Mavic 3 Classic had this feature!), Aperture f/2.8 to f/11, thermal, zoom 1 through 7 and one hell of a much better camera! There is no comparison. I do agree the 7x's zoom on the Mavic 3 Pro sucks. I haven't heard any complaints about the 3x's zoom on the Pro or Cine. You'd have a valued comment in that area for sure! Air 3 has smaller camera than even the Air 2s, Aperture f/1.7 which Air 2s has f/2.8. The primary and only arguments is the battery life and range. Not sure why anyone needs to travel a drone 11 miles like Billy Kyle's video? (Which was fun and entertaining to see the range of OcuSync 4. I get the penetration part and yes it is a little lighter, but that is about it. I bet most will just wait it out for the future DJI Air 3s in hopes DJI brings back the 1" camera. I currently have the Air 2s and just added the Mavic 3 Classic. Ken Dobo did his video between the Mavic 3 Classic and the new new Air 3 and the shots you get are much better than Air 3. Even though I am dishing on the DJI Air 3, I don't think it is a bad drone at all. If you're just starting out I think this is a pretty sweet drone hands down. Great penetration with OcuSync 4 and having 2 dedicated Camera's where 1x zoom and 3x's zoom is going to give you some nice video. I bet the future Air 3s wait is going to be totally worth it. In Ken DoBo's video you can see in his comparisons how the DJI Air 3 has issues at night with light and you get that color change because it is letting it so much light it has a hard for the drone to process all that coming in and getting it right. Also, you can see more distortion in in the trees and brush in some of the shots which is to be expected within reason. I could see in the future that if the Air 3s comes out and returns the 1" camera and a better aperture people will want to sell their DJI Air 2s for the upgrade. I honestly just don't see the Air 3 being that hyped as some people make it out to be. Regarding the new DJI RC 2, I am seriously looking at getting that baby for my Mavic 3 Classic. I may not have OcuSync 4, but it should be a far superior upgrade in range compared to the RC-1 helping it have a much better range and penetration. I do wish people that purchased that DJI RC Pro had an option to swap out the old OcuSync 3 and install the new updated OcuSync 4 software and hardware without being forced to dish out another $1,200 bucks for another controller. This sucks for people that just bought the new Pro controller that isn't even 2 years old and it is already outdated and cannot ever fly the new Air 3 and all the future DJI drones that are not going to be upgraded to OcuSync 4. Sorry, Eddie for the very long comment(s) Enjoy your channel. Keep up the great content and look forward to seeing more videos from you! I feel whatever drone works for you or whatever drone someone buys and makes them happy? That is all that matters in the end. I just hate the every couple years here comes the new OcuSync and now I have to rush to buy an overly priced controller to catch up again.

[@MrEddieNunez]

Thank you for the detailed response and allowing me to think back to the comments I made in the video. You are right in all your comments mentioned - As I shared and stated in my video the Air 3 is replacing my Mavic 3 Pro Cine in my everyday bag. I much rather fly this capable drone in everyday use and be more strategic of when and where I leverage the Mavic 3 Pro. Is the Mavic 3 superior? Yes, in many ways including camera. It all comes down to use case scenario.

[@ChuckD05]

Easier to sell the air 3 with their links? Not sure.

[@corentindockx]

There is nothing better about the air 2s. In fact, if you do your research before commenting, you’ll find the smaller sensor of the air 3 better than the bigger 1 inch. It all has to do with the the technology behind it, it is a back-lit stacked sensor. Also an important note, there is no crop when shooting in 4K60 compared to the air 2s. The more you wait the better the drone, I will always skip at least one new generation.. why waste money I would say. But this time they offer a very good package. If I had the air 2s that means I wouldn’t upgrade, just out of principle, but it is for sure the best drone for the price right now . In my opinion.

[@kernzilla]

[@CAMTechChris]

Nicely done video Eddie, thanks for posting!

[@MrEddieNunez]

Thanks!

[@chriscflint]

I hear your reasoning, but I think they struck out by fitting two of the MINI 3PRO cameras instead of a 1" sensor and 1 off the MINI 3 PRO cameras, that would for me have been an absolute yes sell the Mini 3PRO and the AIR 2S and buy it. At this time I am probably keeping the 2 and buying the MAVIC 3 PRO for the 4/3 camera.

[@MrEddieNunez]

Maybe that is what the Air 3S will have 🤞

Hey Eddie what’s up ? thanks for sharing your thoughts 💭 ! I'm trying to decide which one to get between the Air3 or Mavic 3P and the only thing that concerns me is the Air3 fixed aperture because I like to take motion blur pictures, (I have to use filters in both cases anyway) do you think it is a crucial thing or will be ok? thanks again and have a good day.

[@MrEddieNunez]

Hi Edy! Buy both, LOL. Seriously, that is a tough question. Do you find yourself taking videos or photos in low light? Are you also interested in a 7x zoom lens?

[@edycafe]

@@MrEddieNunez well, I usually take photos in low light and video as well. But how about the Air3 medium telephoto lens 3-9x zoom range, is it bad compare with the 7x zoom on the M3P? I'm confused, also are there things that I can do with the M3P and couldn’t do on the Air3? 🤔

[@MrEddieNunez]

Mavic 3 pro has a variable aperture and main camera is a micro 4/3

[@antoinegray5390]

Hi eddie. I have a mvic 2 pro, an excellent drone. Thinking of getting the air 3 but hesitant due to the fixed aperture lens. Im a photographer mainly and enjoy the image quality of the 2 pro. Will i be giving up much in image quality. I do large tryptic panoramics with the 2pro that have fine detail and color. Hoping the air 3 can come close. Also, i thought NYC was a nfz and you couldn't even take off. You had some awesome footage in Brooklyn.

[@MrEddieNunez]

I think you would benefit from the mavic 3 pro. Having a variable aperture is golden. I will tell you that shooting photos on the Air 3 during the day, the shutter will be cranked high at 1/2500 and sometimes those photos don’t look the best. I’d rather have a variable aperture and be able to shoot at f5-f8, etc. hope this helps.

[@bluesteeltraining]

I have the original Mavic three and I love it but like you were saying the zoom is not too good and it is a little bit on the hefty side when you have all the batteries with you. I am definitely sold on the Air 3. Funny thing is, I got rid of my inspire 2 after I bought the Mavic 3! I had 10 pairs of batteries for the Inspire 2 and with all the batteries it was way too heavy to lug around! (even though it had wheels, I still had to lug it up from downstairs)After I got the Mavic 3 I found I wasn’t even flying the inspire 2 anymore.

[@MrEddieNunez]

I still have my Inspire 2 fully kitted out. Its funny you mentioned this, because I have been debating if I should sell or not.

[@bluesteeltraining]

@@MrEddieNunez it was a really tough decision, but I think what clinched it for me was knowing the X5S camera was the same size as the original Mavic 3 camera and finally it was that my inspire 2 wasn’t getting flown. Nearly every time I would go out on a job or just for fun the Inspire 2 stayed behind.

Mavic 3 classic is definitely an upgrade. I never owned the air 2s, so can’t comment on the difference, however I’m happy with the quality coming from the air 3.

Glad to hear your thoughts. I'm looking to upgrade from the 2s. The air 2 had the 48mp and compared to the 2s 20 mp it was quite as good. I was wondering if it has improved. I don't know if you can answer that after you said this is your first air series. But I would like to hear your thoughts.

[@WiljanWiljan]

DJI should really add some new features to the existing mavic 3 pro. This to ensure that these customers deserve extra benefits compared to the air 3 and because of the huge price difference paid. Since months no new additions for the mavic 3 pro. This is not acceptable

I am also hoping that DJI does the right thing and make the RC PRO compatible with the Air 3…….. we paid a lot of money for the RC PRO it just would not be right if they choose not to make the RC PRO compatible. I really don’t want to buy the RC 2 controller but I probably will.

[@kenjidodson8911]

If you were getting started in videography, what drone would you start with? Mini 4 pro? Air 3?

[@MrEddieNunez]

Depends. If you have the money to spend, Air 3.

[@kenjidodson8911]

@@MrEddieNunez I'm new to it. Don't want to wish I went either way after the fact. I could do the air 3 or mini 4 pro. If it's worth the abilities of the air 3.

[@MrEddieNunez]

@@kenjidodson8911 the mini 4 pro is an incredible little drone with a great camera. However, after a few months you might wish you had purchased the air 3 due to better performance in wind, and camera quality. Also the air 3 has the 3x tele lens. Mini 4 pro does shoot vertical natively if that is important to you.

[@kenjidodson8911]

Or if you think something near the price of the air 3 fly more, would be a good first, would love to hear opinions. Thanks for responding, and thanks in advance.

[@ChristiaanRoest79]

I found that the Air 3 performs better than the Mavic 3 pro in low light. The Mavic 3 pro footage looks sharper, more detailed and has better colors.

[@MrEddieNunez]

I cant wait to test at night and do comparison.

[@markfreemanvideo]

The only reason this would be possible is that Air, as a more consumer oriented drone, has more agressive noise reduction and post processing. Unless DJI managed to put into Air some breakthrough sensor technology, bigger sensor will always perform better in low light. Knowing DJI though, everything is possible. Adding great features to a new consumer drones that even their flagman pro models don't have, seems like their thing.

[@carlose6010]

Im curious on how O4 helps when using a O3 controller.

[@MrEddieNunez]

you cant use a O3 controller. Must use the new O4 remote.

[@carlose6010]

Thanks for the quick reply Eddie. I was under the impression the standard dji rc controller was compatible. Didn't know the standard controller was upgraded to O4.

[@londenard]

So... would you say the Air 3 is game changing in any way?

[@MrEddieNunez]

From a portability perspective with ~40 minute battery life, O4 transmission, Omnidirectional obstacle avoidance, and the 3 times 70mm tele lens……. Yes. I do need to revisit this comment when compared to the Mavic 3 pro once I test at night. Haven’t had the opportunity to fly this drone in low light yet.

[@ontheotherside3]

i currently have no drone and have Monterey car week next week. m3p or air3? ahhh..id wait if i could. hesitant to buy m3p without os4 and rc2, but i like the lenses. 🤯 thanks for your time and content.

[@MrEddieNunez]

Depends on what your needs are. If flying recreationally, maybe the Air 3.

[@BrianKushner]

I love the Air 3 as well. Just don't think the night footage is as good as the Mavic 3...

[@MrEddieNunez]

Fair enough, and I can agree..... but I love my Air 3 for daily stuff when not filming anything professionally.

[@BrianKushner]

@@MrEddieNunez Me too!!!

[@johnrambo1349]

I own a mavic 3 pro, air 3, mini 4 pro. I used the mavic 3 pro in strong winds or when i need to zoom in far. I use the mini 4 pro when i want to fly without anyone knowing. Air 3 dont get touch. So i dont know why folks makes it seem like the air 3 is the best when its not. Its only for folks who cant afford the mavic 3 pro lmao

[@MrEddieNunez]

I just used the Air 3 exclusively during my vacation and I didn't miss my mavic 3 pro cine not one bit

[@kferg3029]

makes no sense to me for one simple fact for me at least. I shoot mainly photography and the simple fact I can adjust my aperture is the number one reason I got the Mavic Pro 3

[@MrEddieNunez]

This is true

[@chrisregister8021]

You don't see any side by side comparisons because they're trying to sell the air 3...

[@MrEddieNunez]

Thank you!

[@CaliforniaPhantom]

This drone exists because the lake of competition in the market. Smaller sensor than Air2s just to add a 70mm off Mavic 3? If you’re going to shell out, at least get the Mavic 3 Classic; a far better aircraft. Don’t buy the hype and support drones that shouldn’t exist. Honestly, I’m shocked they didn’t at the very least give us a 1” variable aperture given the Mavic 3 line is micro 4/3.

[@SkylightDrones]

Compared to the air 2s the air 3 improved a lot. Better flight time, better obstacle avoidance, better transmission and it has two cameras. The air 3 don’t uses the outdated color profile anymore as the air 2s. Also in lowlight scenarios the air 3 is performing way better which results in good quality overall.

[@MrEddieNunez]

Tech keeps getting better, this sensor is better than the 1 inch on the air 2s

When you really break it down, any of the DJI drones are 75% over the head of the average drone pilot. Everyone vying for the latest and greatest when they haven't even come close to mastering the one they have. LOL. Cool. It's always good to have bragging rights though, right? My drone is bigger than your drone. LMAO. And it definitely keeps DJI in business. That's a good thing.

[@MrEddieNunez]

Thanks for sharing

[@mhmphotography400]

👍🏽 Eddie ….. a while back you said you would not be buying an other DJI drone. What changed your mind. Maybe because drone works are now sending you DJI drones for free. ? Keep it real …….what changed your mind. 😮

[@MrEddieNunez]

Good call out! LOL! I got rid of my mini 3 pro and needed something smaller and compact. That is where the Air 3 fits just right.

[@Somanybeats]

The title alone is ludicrous lol. Air 3 is a downgrade from the Mavic 3 Pro. Even on the DJI website the Mavic is the flagship. Air 3 as a back up or to fly when you don't want to risk the Mavic.. I can understand that

[@MrEddieNunez]

It compliments the mavic 3 pro

[@Wakapauly]

Disagree 100% with your conclusions. The answer to your hesitation to use the Mavic 3 more is care refresh, which is now available to add to your purchase after your current plan expires. Since my Mavic 3 is covered under care refresh, I will proceed with riskier shots, not worried in the least if I crash it. In order to get shots that stand out, you have to push the envelope and push the drone to its limits. You can't just go up and down or in a circle like you show in your video. That doesn't grab your audience...the shots you show in your video are just "meh" at best. If they were shot on a Mavic 3, they would look better and if you had the care refresh, you would have the confidence to push it farther and try riskier moves, or have the confidence to send it up in a dust storm at Burning Man at night. That's what I had to do in order to get people saying that it may be the best night footage that's ever come out of that event. The smaller sensor of the Air 3 would not have captured all those beautiful colors at night nearly as well, and if I would have been hesitant to go for the shot, I would have never heard those comments.
