DJI Air 3 vs Air 3s One Thing Makes It WORTH the Upgrade

[@ronaldwilson9525]

I’m very happy with my Air 3. And because I only fly recreational I have no financial incentive to justify the expense. Maybe next year it is a possibility.

[@JakeSloan]

can't wait to see what the Air 4 brings

[@BobCaseyAerial]

Nice work Jake. Great comparisons.

[@JakeSloan]

Thanks for watching Bob!

[@drone_angles]

Nice work Jake! Love that scenery!

[@JakeSloan]

Thanks!

[@BrianKushner]

Great review. Confirmed many of my thoughts on the Air 3S coming from Air 3

[@JakeSloan]

I'm glad it helped!

[@sidsotto4768]

Bought air 3s last week. Its a beast!

[@JakeSloan]

Yes it is!

[@ylemort]

I also sold my Air 3 for the Air 3S, I don't regret it, it's superior everywhere. In February, I’m going to Lapland. I have a question about my AIR 3S do you think he can fly in temperatures as low as -20°C? With no risk?

[@JakeSloan]

NICE and yes you can just keep the batteries warm before using them

[@RonaldBrown59]

I pretty much agree with everything you said in this video. It might not be worth upgrading to the Air 3s if you just got the Air 3 last year, but it your coming from an older drone or a Mini drone, it's going to be a nice improvement in performance and camera quality. Great video Jake, and thanks for sharing.

[@JakeSloan]

agreed and thank you!

[@Knypsterino]

Another great video but what about the new panorama function with more control? I think it must be useful in those beautiful landscapes.

[@JakeSloan]

It is! I didn't cover that in this video but it is super useful!

[@redzeppelinuk]

Thanks Jake. Lost my Air 2S to a critical battery failure over water a couple of weeks ago, so my hand was forced and my insurance provider offered either the Air 3, or Air 3S for a little more in excess payment. I've gone for the 3S in the hope it gives me the same 3+ years lifetime the 2S did, but had been on the fence since the launch of the 3S due to the fact I'm mainly a stills shooter and loved the 20MP stills out of the 2S. Encouraging to see the 50MP stills from the 3S have improved and once the notoriously crappy UK weather improves, look forward to my first flight with it. Thanks for the comparison 👍

[@JakeSloan]

you are so welcome!

[@CaminoAir]

I always wait until I've heard your take on new drones, Jake. I'm going to guess (based on the Air 3 & 3S) that the Mavic 4 will have a one inch sensor with improved optics and software (compensating for the loss of a micro 4/3 sensor). The Mavic 4 will be extremely fast and ascent & descent speed will be unnervingly so. I don't know what the M4's weight might be though. With European Union regulations, the Air 4/S might be the default option in a few years time.

[@JakeSloan]

yeah I am positive the Mavic 4 will be over 900g so the air series will definitely be easier for you in the EU

[@jlutz63]

I rock an air 3 will wait till air4

[@JakeSloan]

great way to save some money lol

[@malickinc]

Thanks for your videos!!

[@JakeSloan]

Glad you like them!

[@ErrolanTracey]

Thanks for the analysis! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

[@JakeSloan]

no idea

[@beach4me2007]

I’m still happy with my air 2

[@JakeSloan]

awesome!

[@ONTRACKIMAGES]

Love the Air3’s

[@JakeSloan]

me too!

[@ernieschatz3783]

Posted one hour ago...proof postive that that there are still KZbinrs that either ignore or are unaware that the Air 3s maps its home point. It's a big deal if you look into what that brings. And currently no other consumer drone does it

[@Steve-Kratz]

If your purchasing a drone for how well it returns to home, you're doing something wrong. He's had plenty of mentions of RTH features, and it's not as important as how well the video/photos out of the drone are.

[@Trapasak89]

@ernieschatz3783 Hi, what benefit does it bring? I am truly unaware. Isn't setting the HP using GPS sufficient enough?

[@creativecarveciteclimb5684]

Let's be honest... If you map your home point with lidar because you are afraid you will lose connection, you are definitely not following Visual Line of Sight...

[@JakeSloan]

It's been covered by other videos from other people. I never use RTH personally and I don't recommend anyone else should rely on it either. It's for emergencies, but yes it is a big deal

[@rifaldychannel8668]

Mantap 👍

[@Daausby]

I might be in the minority but I prefer the color science on the air 3 over the air 3s…I also believe the maximum speed is just a gimmick to get people to upgrade…DJI could do the same thing for the air 3, and mavic 3’s though a software update but they intentionally handicapped them to make it seem like a new feature…it’s no different than a governor on a vehicle

[@JakeSloan]

nothing wrong with that and I agree on the speed of the air 3 vs air 3s. It's definitely capable

[@photograhy]

I am not satisfied with my Air 3 at all. Reduced sensor size is very obvious. Anyone doing any professional work I advise to go with mavic 3 classic, pro, or air 3s.

[@JakeSloan]

for almost all my commercial work it's the mavic 3 or for big productions the Inspire 3 so I agree.

[@SimplyScotlandPhotography]

Cmon Jake Air2S V "both" these drones

[@JakeSloan]

I am still trying to get one to compare with lol

[@tommoorehouse]

i wish my vision could tell the difference. sucks getting old!

[@TentoesMe]

I watched it on my droning tablet. Could not tell any difference.😊

[@JakeSloan]

lol it's pretty small difference

[@gregparker5732]

I thought this question had been answered many time before, has something changed?

[@JakeSloan]

yes sensor on the main camera...

[@RoniWay]

Thanks for the video. Best regards from Israel. Roni way nature channel :.

[@JakeSloan]

Thank you!

[@mckhodges319]

I definitely like the Air 3S and would choose it over the Air 3 because of the 50 mp stills, the active tracking, and I admit the faster speed could make a difference in a drone video shoot.

[@JakeSloan]
