It's definitely time to upgrade from the Air 3 to the Air 3S! With its 1-inch CMOS main camera, 70mm mid-telephoto lens, and dual-camera 4K/60fps capabilities, it’s perfect for all my travel photography needs. Can't wait to take it on my next adventure!

[@josephbrooks932]

DJI just released the Air 3s! The image quality looks super sharp and the tracking features are impressive. I'm seriously considering getting one!

[@PhilTParker]

In my beginning, I was an RC pilot and flew planes with up to six foot wingspans for a few years at a local airfield. Over that timeframe I was told constantly that “you WILL crash and destroy your plane.” The trouble for me, was I didn’t. And after I got out of the RC Plane hobby, over time I found that my previous “never crashed” experiences had instilled in me, a fear of flying and crashing.😂 Next up: drones. When I bought my first toy one, no problem. Then next one, a little bigger. Still fine. But then I bought the DJI Phantom III. At that point this was a LOT of drone for me. Many things to do before flying it, all under threat of a crash if not done properly. Sub consciously I sort of went in reverse with my flying confidence trajectory. I started with the DJI Phantom III with all of the trimmings. I flew it only twice, being ultra careful. It wasn’t fun because I worried so much. But I didn’t crash, only sold it off to a friend of mine who liked what I had. Later I bought the DJI Spark. I thought, “It’s smaller. I will be more comfortable flying it.” I flew it a few more times, perhaps even six or seven times. No crashing! But still, I couldn’t shake that “You WILL eventually crash and destroy your aircraft” mindset. So guess what I did? You got it right-I sold THAT drone to the same friend of mine. He quickly flipped that drone, sold it to a friend, turned around and bought the DJI Mini 4 Pro. Good for him. My last move…I bought the HoverAir x1 drone. It was the right move for me. It cost a lot and only flys preset autonomous flight modes. It comes with a full suite of gesture controls. It is fully encased in a feather light framework which protects its propellers. You can’t really crash it, it might bump into something…perhaps get caught in a bush, but that’s about it. I have been happily flying this little “flying camera” for a month now. I have flown it indoors. I have taken it to the beach. I took it on a two week catamaran voyage in the British Virgin Islands. There is no controller that comes with this little guy, which is far under the FAA weight limit at 130 grams or so. Small note: you absolutely can control it manually in first person mode in the app that is on your phone, and for less than twenty bucks you can buy a small micro controller for it, which I have done and experimented with. It works fine. There is almost nothing to flying this little unit. You pull it out of your pocket and fly it…there is no controller. No need to even have your cellphone with you! Pull it out of your pocket, press two buttons and that’s all. It just lifts off of your hand, looks at you to focus on your image for a second, and then flys off to follow the flight path that you have selected. Later after you are done flying, you can form your arms into the shape of an X to tell it visually to come back and land…on the palm of your outstretched hand. The best part of it all? I have overcome that fear of flying. I will keep the HoverAir X1 with me on any trip (whether a simple walk, a day trip or longer) that I go on, as long as there is good weather. Next up for me? I’m ready for that DJI Mini 4 Pro with the “Fly More” combo including the extra insurance against crashes. Who cares if you are reasonably careful operating it and its insured? Cheers everyone!

Air 3S has came out and I've been watching a ton of reviews. I've heard that the Air 3S's 1-inch main camera and dual 4K/60fps cameras produce amazing image quality. Now I'm torn between getting the Air 3S or the Mavic 3 Pro. Decisions, decisions!

I've had my Tello Drone since 2019 and it still flies to this day, haven't needed to use a spare prop yet either. My only suggestion is to get a wifi repeater to use with it. But if you got the money for it, get yourself a drone in the dji mini series. If you want to see what the drone is capable of, I have a video showcasing my best flight moments after owning the tello for 3 years

I have the DJI mini 2se, the problem I had was finding information on the camera that would work best for me. I did a lot of research on 2.7K verse 4K. Furthermore, I really don't know much about photography, so the information I was looking for took me to many different websites. I have cast my videos I have made to my TV set, and to me, they look great. What I have read is that 4K needs to be cast on a TV 50 inch or bigger to get the full effect of 4K. Also, I have read that there is some hype with 4K, but there are times it is needed. I wish you would do a video explaining in detail what the specs on a camera really mean, and what are the best uses for the most common cameras found on drones. Your videos are always very useful in helping people find the drones that are right for them, and to help get the most out of their drones. Keep up the good work.

[@walker1583]

While I'm not that much bothered with the camera, 2.7k looks awesome, for me going for a mini 4 pro would mostly be because all of it's feature's like object tracking, obstacle avoidance and some more.

[@ParleysWoodedJourney]

Shooting in 4k will give you more options in video editing. basically, you'd be able to clip a 2.7k video from anywhere within the 4k box.

[@eddiec9756]

I got a Tello drone back in 2021 and I still have it. During the holidays I got a DJI Mini 3. Working on getting my part 107 certification right now.

[@driewiel]

Definitely need certification for those monsters you are flying.

[@chriswhetton3584]

Mini 3 is a perfect price point. If you shop around, you will be paying closer to $299. Costco literally has a deal for the mini 3 that comes with a 64gb SD card, as well as a set of ND filters. I got my mini 3 last year with an identical bundle for $379. Once you have to pay for the pro you are going to add $200-$300 on to that price. The pros rarely have great sales. I would love a mini 4 pro, but the mini 3 is great. It literally can shoot sellable footage, it’s hundreds of $$$ less than anything with pro in the title, and it won’t break the bank. Now you can even get the mini 4K (basically the original mini 2) for $299 at most.

[@E1l2r3o4_YT]

I have the tello drone. I purchased it because I want to use it for my school club. My club is all about photography and videography. I use my tello like the other expensive drones. Although I would like to have the expensive ones but I cant afford it. Its not my budget yet.

For me that would be the DJI mine 2 SE, what I wanted is to take video and picture's. While it's not 4k it still looks great at 2.7k. and it's also 249 gr. so as a complete newb it's great. I started with a toy drone but it teached me some muscle memory in my hands but was a awefull experiance. Thinking drone flying would be more difficult than it actually is after my experiance with the 2 SE. For now I'm sure my next will be the Dji 4 pro, but for now I'm very satisfied with the 2 SE

[@brandon9689]

I could never get over the fact that the Ryze tello never had a controller available. Touch screen is good for teaching what the controls do, but not so much for building the muscle memory of stick piloting. It would have been fantastic with a controller.

[@driewiel]

Well you have the Gamesir Bluetooth controller of course. Which is actually a really good controller. But it's like $30. Now you can get a sub 250 gram GPS drone with gimbal and 2k video for under $100. So the Tello is no longer the best option.

[@chrism1940]

One important factor for me that wasn't mentioned is how much weight a drone can pack because I like to strap a strong tactical flashlight and other lights to drone. A mini 2 can pack 10 ounces where a Ruko f11 and f11 gim2 can pack 15 ounces. Plus the ruko drone itself is much heavier so that's a lot more power that u can hear the ruko make

[@robertheim352]

Good cross section of the reasonably priced drone market. Thank you. The Fimi is a good flier but has some inherent aggravations for video. My 2020 X8SE has that video stuttering that you show here with the mini, plus it often has jello and horizon slants. All these are hard to edit out and also hard to ignore once you see the flaws ;-)

I watched some of your review videos, & here are some of the unanswered questions I still have,,, (Newbies just don't know.) I want to know,,, do they all have 'return to sender'? & 'Follow me' features? You didn't say or show. How about LOW BATTERY? Do they know WHEN to come back? Or is that mandatory for the pilot to constantly consider? Could you tell the drones to fly at set elevations? Distances? Could they Automatically Go up 100',, down 50' at a touch of a button? Stay above trees? Do they all send back pics, or videos to a removeable card in the controller, where I could easily view the pics & videos on my PC? Do they all have 100% avoidance capabilities,,, like trees, TP lines, birds? How close would the get to say tree branches, flying through a forest? After all, I wouldn't want my G-kids to trash $300 in the first 30 sec!

So many questions. All drones are different with different features. Most GPS drones do have a return to home and some intelligent flight modes. Basically $300 gets you most of those features but not all. Check specific reviews on drones you are interested in. Shooting at a drone is a federal offense.

How fast and far can you ride from the drone in order the function follow-me works with the Xiaomi Fimi X8? Sometimes getting down a large hill, I can reach 20 mph.

Oh also, i need one that can zoom in peoples windows, like i have a bunch of recently divorced middle aged women around me, so i need one with like a 1000x zoom, you know, and a silent one so its not detected, thanks very much drone guy, im lookin to get into drone photography i do believe

[@HalfChrome]

I bet

[@alanday5255]

I think its odd that everyone focuses on the camera of drone, not is a stable drone.

[@babsthewreckingcrew4294]

Why would you need to register your drone so the can confiscate your drone when you record something they don’t want getting out

[@damaylaphoenix1155]

DJI Air 3s is the best for the money !

[@coroiscoro]

drone is for fun

[@jumpingsumo]

What's the best drone i can buy that can be fly with just the app

[@HalfChrome]

DJI NEO

[@jumpingsumo]

@HalfChrome I need something with range and can use way point like the parrot bebop2 but the app is not supported

[@driewiel]

@@jumpingsumo You can't really have long range with just a phone. What's the point? But why not buy a used DJI Spark and try yourself? As for the Bebop2, get an old phone on which the app will work.

The guy walking backwards at 10:08 😄

[@HalfChrome]

Good eye. Yes. I ran the video in reverse

[@doomsdaydiesel]

@@HalfChrome I guess the backwards driving traffic was a bigger concern. Just ordered the Air 3 and charger you recommended. Appreciate all your helpful videos! Can't believe the price jump for "Fly More" or the fact a power adapter isn't included!

[@jimdep6542]

I just checked the features on that drone...... You can purchase a separate app that allows you to go back in time, but only during the past 30 days.

[@MarioDiaz-co3px]

What about the Mini 2 SE?

[@HalfChrome]

It is fantastic but the Fimi is cheaper and just as good, if not better.

[@MarioDiaz-co3px]

Not if you get on sale...jajaja. @@HalfChrome

[@theelitegamer1980]

so is there a drone police that come to check if your drone is 250 grams?

[@HalfChrome]

Yes. The FAA

[@npc2480]

Do people really abide by the rule of keeping the drone in line of sight when these can flight over a mile?

[@rocknroller4251]

What is the cheapest drone with thermal camera?

[@HalfChrome]

Parrot Anafi thermal

[@rocknroller4251]

@HalfChrome i said cheapest, that one is not even cheap.

[@HalfChrome]

That is the cheapest. They just get more expensive.

[@rocknroller4251]

@@HalfChrome Not true, the one you sent is $7,000. I already found cheaper.

[@HalfChrome]

@rocknroller4251 I got mine for $1200

[@andersaviation1012]

I also have one

[@Shaboiiii]

How much for the lot ?

[@HalfChrome]

You want to buy them all?

[@jimdep6542]

@@HalfChrome Probably the lot you were filming this video from.......but he doesn't want to spend a lot for that lot.

[@amped19996]

I want a drone that can do 100mph reach mountain height and can last longer than a few hours.

[@driewiel]

Try the International Space Station.

[@mjktrash]

100mph and "mountain" height aren't hard, a "few" hours, that's getting out there.

[@dgyoungphotos]

What do you recommend if the government bans Chinese drones?

[@HalfChrome]

Get a new hobby.

[@driewiel]

An AR-15.

[@DonnellEagle]

I don't like DJI cause every drone guy I watch that's all they do is talk DJI DJI if a drone cast 200 dollars of cores you can't compare it to a2000 the yec is different stop being DJI clones a talk the real commission not everything
