DJI Air 3 has released July 25, 2023 with TWO cameras. I spoke to soon on the Air 3 when DJI first told me the specs, so I admit I judged it before I tried it based off the hardware and their claims. Two cameras at 4K with 3/4" sensors instead of that old 1" sensor at 5.4K on the Air 2S?? I am happy to say I was full of crap and I have the proof.
2 Cameras
1/1.3" Sensor 24mm F1.7
1/1/3" Sensor 70mm F2.8
4K H.265 MAX
10-bit Dlog-M on both cameras
46m Flight Time
Omni Obstacle Avoidance
Better Connection
2 x 12mp photo cameras (listed as 48mp but no)
New Smart Remote
Image Quality/Color Profile BIG step up
Active Track + Smart Features
720g
Vertical Shoot (sensor crop only)
10 m/s ascent/descent speed, fastest of DJI
4K 100fps/ 1080p 200fps slo-mo
NightMode
Air 2S MAJOR changes:
A second 3x Telephoto lens obviously
720g instead of 595g
12mp photos vs. 20mp on Air 2S
Omni Obstacle Avoidance now
4k Max instead of 5.4K
3/4" sensors instead of 1" sensor
Better Connection behind buildings/trees
46 minute flight time vs. 31m flight time
Vertical Shooting & NightMode added
Without a doubt the image quality has improved, even with a smaller sensor. Don't ask me how they did it but they did.
Much improved ISO, low light even beats the Air 2S with a larger sensor and 5.4K.
$1099 USD Drone + DJI RC N2
$1349 USD Drone + DJI RC N2
$1549 USD Drone + Fly more combo DJI RC 2

Just get a second battery and ND filters and you'll be fine. REALLY suggest the DJI RC 2 smart remote too, wildly helpful to the experience. Makes it way more fun, either smart remote is great just get one.

I’m a bit confused. Don’t all bundles of the Air 3 come with a remote? Or this there a different remote you’re mentioning that is better than the remote it comes with? (Never had a drone but looking to get on for real estate photography. Maybe some fun and travel photography/videography as well if it’s worth it over the Mini 3 Pro)

You are on my special select list of reviewers. I could hear my old Air 2S from about 300 meters (obviously knowing what precise sound to search for). What I understand about 04 is that the Air 3 has six (yes that's 6) antennae and the RC version 2 has four. Also, stay strong when your Mini 3 Pro wants to clear the air about your dalliances with other drones.

@johnnyinterval 11 месяцев назад

Today, just like any other embargo day, I saw a barrage of new product launches across RU-vid. Drone releases this time, 360 cameras last month - you know the drill. The same old faces, giving the same polished reviews, often painting an unrealistically rosy picture because they're on the payroll. A lot of us followed their word last time and rushed to get those 360 cameras, only to find they didn't live up to the hype. It was disappointing, to say the least. But your content, it's a breath of fresh air. When I saw your notification today, I didn't hesitate to click. Why? Because I know I'll get something different from you - no scripted praises, no overstated features. You deliver concise, useful, and most importantly, accurate information. You don't just give us what the big companies want us to hear, you tell it like it is, and that's incredibly valuable. In a world where RU-vid and big brands like DJI hold the puppet strings, your honest approach is refreshing and far more valuable to guys like me, who are out here doing our own thing. You give us the real deal, and you do it quickly and efficiently, which makes a world of difference. So, keep doing what you're doing, dude. It matters more than you might realize.

Great review, thank you! I pulled the trigger and ordered one today. I've been using a company-owned Mavic 2 Pro for the last 4 years. Wanted to get one of my own to use for fun and professional work. I feel like this has so many great features for the price point (and is within my budget) and for what I want to use it for. I really enjoyed flying and shooting on the Mavic 2 Pro but this looks even better in many aspects!

100% dispelled that sensor size myth. So much is done behind the camera sensors now. Still having trouble seeing why you would get the Air 3 when the Mavic 3 + RC can be got for $1200 though.

@davidro77 11 месяцев назад

he admitted that the 1 inch sensor on the air 2s is the best for photography though, and that the claimed 48 mp photos from the air 3 are actually 12 mp. That is a big downgrade if photography is your bag

@BrandonsYouTube 11 месяцев назад

Well, I stand corrected. Maybe I will look at buying this one on top of the mini 3 Pro that I have. I was honestly expecting equal-ish performance to the mini 3 Pro when I saw the same sensor size. Thank you for the excellent review.

@scottdobry3859 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for this content! My main reason for wanting to upgrade from A2s is the 70mm lens. Question: at the 3:55 mark, clearly the DR on the A3 is superior however the Clark Hill sign on the A2s looks sharp and the same sign on the A3 looks mushy. Was this just a focus error on the A3? Thanks again!

@SkylightDrones 10 месяцев назад

@cjw9979 11 месяцев назад

Cracking video, straight to the point, making one mistake though. The 48mp sensor, is a true 48 megapixel sensor. It has 48 million light gathering pixels, the only different is that it doesnt have a Bayer colour array, meaning there is more colour interpolation. In terms of pixels though, its 48mp. This is commonly misunderstood. The reason its this way is most people want 12mp, so in 12mp its a bayer format giving best colour performance, but in 48mp, which only a few want (unfortunately me being one) its in the quad bayer, meaning every colour pixels always has another of the same colour next to it. The reason the 48mp sensor doesnt look at nice as it should it due to the colour interpolation of quad bayer. Which leaves artefacts. Anyway, solid video. Still undecided though as have a Mini 3 Pro... Really want a 1 inch sensor with 30-40mp

I am a little worried that when I switched to the Air 3 am going to lose the quality of the video the Mini 3 Pro captures with the full sensor, unlike the Air 3. Do you think there will be a difference in quality Between 2.7K and 4K, for example, when Instagram does compression?

@Matthews_Media 11 месяцев назад

What do you think about the Air 3 vs the Mavic 3 Classic? Not considering the price because I can get a used Mavic 3 Classic for the same price as a new Air 3. The one thing I'm on the fence about is that the Mavic 3 has an adjustable aperture. I will be using a drone professionally but mostly for Real Estate. Is it a pain in the ass to always swap ND Filters to get the exposure right? Edit: Nevermind I watched another 5 seconds then you answered my question in the vid :D

@Lil-JensStudio 11 месяцев назад

As a semi-professional photographer with over 40 years of experience, I can affirm that a smaller stacked sensor is VASTLY superior to a larger, standard CMOS sensor. With that in mind, it should be no surprise at all that the stacked sensor in the Air 3 can compete well with the Mavic Pro and smokes the larger sensor in the Air 2.

@jianda87 11 месяцев назад

Impressed? they obviously can incorporate the technology onto a 1 inch sensor and provide an even better image quality but they didn't. Feels like 2 steps forward, 1 step back, even though there is progress but knowing that they are capable of doing it just goes to show that they aren't giving consumers the best that they can give, especially when you know the that previous Air model has a 1 inch sensor on the back of your mind. Not hating, just my honest take.

Thanks to your review, I bought one and I couldn't be happier. I actually bought an Air 2S but I couldn't get it to bind - I sent it back to the eBay seller (I got it for $500 thinking I was being slick), and bought myself an Air 3. Wow. I can't wait to film the Fountain Hills fountain and other water features around our city, maybe Lake Pleasant. Phoenix necessitates you make a special journey to find something to film, lmao. The eBay seller got salty after I told him I didn't want the Air2S back and bought an Air 3 after he proved to me that it wasn't defective, so far as telling me "you will see you've made a mistake because there is no substitute for sensor size, people always think new is better." lmao ok bro! Air 3 smokes the Air 2S and it's not even a comparison, and your video proves it.
