THE Allrounder Drone is Here - DJI Air 3S First Look Review

[@TheHeadman]

I definitely want to see an unbiased review comparing the Air 3 vs Air 3S. Thanks for the video

[@coz_daysoff]

just ordered this bad boy

[@user-td5zf4gx3o]

Also worth mentioning in the lineup the DJI Mini 4K released earlier this year, it is almost identical to Mini 2 SE, I think the only difference is up to 4K video recording instead of max 2.7K

[@32toddv]

I have the Air 3 fly more combo and the mavic 3 classic the Air 3 in my opinion take some great night videos, would you say the year 3S takes better with the wanted sensor yet you failed to display any night videos.

[@Diantane]

Ordered this drone on October 31st, but its still stuck in US Customs and DJI states that it will be there for quite some time (over a month). So the customers in the US better be extremely patient.

[@AntiqueStory]

I am torn between air 3 and air 3s ans price of air 3 is very good second hand

[@AntiqueStory]

Bought the air 3 with fly more and 2 years care refresh + digital screen remote for 1000 euro. Amazing drone for the current money.

[@victorgorospe6576]

Does the Air 3S use the goggles 3?

[@greenlightstudios3469]

but there's been a Mini 4 (Non pro) for a 6-8 months now - You Mentioned that there wasn't one

[@CineD]

you mean the Mini 4K?

[@greenlightstudios3469]

@@CineD yeah I guess I do, makes it sound like it’s a 4 series, when it’s more of a 2se rebranding

[@SkyMedia423]

Anyone interested in an Air 2S thats never been flown? Also, controller, 4 batteries, and maybe the Tripltek 8 pro tablet?

[@TheTechnoPilot]

I think the biggest issue for me still is the lack of RC Pro controller support for this and the Mini 4 Pro. Right now that’s a huge no go for me, especially without them adding what would have been an incredible new feature of making this compatible with the newly released DJI SDR Receiver.

[@OneManFiveCats]

Expect it with the Mavic 4 release next year.

[@TheTechnoPilot]

@@OneManFiveCats Which should instead have support for dual control with two RC Plus controllers simultaneously in addition to a third Transmission receiver with the DJI Focus Wheel. Again as someone who flys a Air 2S with the Pro controller professionally, and needs to also use a Mini sometimes I find it insane that there isn't a pro controller out yet to control these drones and has HDMI/SDI out, nor that the top tier Plus controller has never been able to fly the smaller drones. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE!

[@philipbloom]

⁠@@TheTechnoPilotblimey. Bit over the top there! Why would you want a focus wheel for these drone? Why??? Vote with your pocket if you aren’t happy. I’m in no rush to buy another Pro controller after having the mavic 3 one and the only new drone it was compatible with was the Mini 3 Pro.

[@TheTechnoPilot]

@@philipbloom My point being that the Mavic 4 (and 3) should have been compatible with a second controller, the DJI Transmission full lineup, and selection of gimbal control accessories as they are extensively used alongside of the Inspire 3 based on the requirements of productions. The major limiting factor though is that they cannot be dual operator flown, nor can we use the DJI RC Plus controllers with them without hacks. The Air 3S we should have at least been able to fly with a controller that has proper HDMI out or been innovative and made it compatible with the DJI SDR Transmission receiver. It would have been a standout selling point and replaced the need for the HDMI out that I use extensively with my Air 2S. My mention of a focus wheel with the Transmission support for the Mavic is both for focus (which right now you NEVER want to do with the touch focus mid take), but also integration into DIT setups on larger sets which often will have aperture control for all cameras put at the DOP's monitor. Something we can't, do with the Mavic 3 line currently.

[@Nikola__K]

On the footage I can see the shadow separation is still really bad! The shadows are black and without details, not even the Mavics have good shadow details specially in sunny situations! And this footage you taken is in cloudy weather, and it still has very bad shadow compared to a camera or even the Mavic line. Guess normal people who cant buy the Inspire will still have to play with toys and not quality camera gear when it comes to drones.

[@OneManFiveCats]

Pixel peeping on YT?

[@hellohogo]

lolol

[@Nikola__K]

@@OneManFiveCats Yes, because you must. Who wants to need to do complex editing AI and so on to try and fix the shadows on every different take separately so they match in a long video like this. Plus if you use it to take photos you need a better camera in golden hour shadows again not to batch edit every single photo mess with noise and so on. Specially if there are multiple photos you have to take the maximum out of shadows in order to look good.

[@philipbloom]

@@Nikola__K image is great. I have it. Stop making image judgments based on horrific YT compression.

@DJI Sangat menyesal dan kecewa dengan pihak DJI , dari awal ada kesalahan sistem pada drone , tetapi dari tim analisis tidak mau mengakui nya ,konsumen harus membayar garansi sama seperti harga drone baru,klim garansi sangat susah sudah menunggu selama 3 bulan, dan itu pun belum juga ada kepastian @DJI
