There has been a major firmware update for the Mavic 3 which adds nightmode to the 7x camera dn Dlog-m to the 7x of the mavic 3 pro! There are a lot of other updates as well!

This video had been playing for me at least 3x/day for a full month because I was really trying to decide out of these 3 as my first camera drone. All literally have their pros/cons. I finally picked up the Mavic 3 Pro (non-Cine) because I wanted as much versatility and best quality. I still have much to learn using it but I am happy! Now...need to actually travel.

Hello Jake, great and clear video👍👏A honest video about both drones, not only about all the great points about the Air 3 to boost the sales! I have the Mavic 3 Classic and Mini 3 Pro myself. The Hasselblad on the Classic produces the best video using D-log. The variable aperture on the Classic is gold. When capturing clouds the dynamic range and video quality on the Classic is so much better when watching the video on my 4K TV. I decided to pass the Air 3 and wait for the maybe so called Air 3 Pro or 4. That telephoto lens is quite tempting! Will upgrade my Mini 3 to the Mini 4 when it comes out probably. Greetings from 🇳🇱

@JakeSloan 10 месяцев назад

@MaineMan086 10 месяцев назад

Jake, another great and thoughtful comparison. Please post a video comparing these models as far as range goes -- OcuSync 3 vs 4. Some reviewers say there is not much difference; others report a substantial advantage in OS4. I'd be very interested to know what you think.

@JakeSloan 10 месяцев назад

I don't do range tests but I will say both will go WELL BEYOND visual line of sight and the biggest difference you will see is when flying in dense RF environments like Cities or with lots of trees around, the Air 3 will stay connected to the RC a fair amount better than the Mavic will

@SummerlinRealtor 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the great video, Jake! I love how comprehensive it is. For me, I would be fine with the video from the Air 3 or the Mavic. I'm more concerned with the still images. Would you say the Mavic 3 pro will shoot significantly better still images or is it pretty close there? I get that the Mavic has better dynamic range and variable aperture. I may have answered my own question. Question 2: How do you get such great sound outdoors without a visible lavalier?

Thank You For Making this Video Jake! I'm not really in the Market for a New Drone but after I saw various Videos about the Air 3, Including this Video! I'm thinking the Air 3 is going to be the Right Done for me! I'm currently using the Mini 3 (Base Model) And it's great but, after my tests, the Mini 2 had a lot better signal strength than the new Mini 3. Plus, I think the 2X zoom on the Mini 3 is a lot more noisy than the Mini 2. Another thing is speed. The Air 3's incredible Speed would be amazing for the stuff I shoot! Thanks Again For This Video Jake! I really Enjoyed Watching This! Keep Up The Great Work Man!

@amit-dunsky 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for a great review. There's just one more thing to think about when comparing the two: The Air 3 is equipped with the new O4 transmission system, while the Mavic 3 family is not. This is likely to be the new standard for DJI, and if they will not introduce backward compatibility, it will take the whole O3 based drones a step back in evolution.

@JakeSloan 10 месяцев назад

I’ve been flying the Mavic 2 Pro since it was released. Great camera, a bit of a clumsy flier with Go4. I crashed it a few times due to the lack of side sensors and had to buy a MA2 as a backup while it was being repaired. MA2 good flier, sub-standard video quality. I finally bought the Mavic 3 Classic a few months ago to replace the M2P as my main drone. I liked the longer focal length of the M2P, now wishing I had the dual camera w/ the 70mm. But, I wouldn’t trade it for the aperture control. You make a good case for the MA3 as a companion for the dual lens and other factors. But then, the Mavic Mini 3 Pro @ 249g also would be a good complement depending on your laws locally and likely destinations.

I do a lot of kiking aswel, so thats the only reason weight could be a problem, but i think overall for me the air 3 would be a good buy. More steady in the air, especially in the alpine region, and budgetwise for me more realistic than the mavic 3 pro

There are still limitations on the Mavic 3 Pro when using that 70 mm lens. It won't let you pick that lens for slow motion it won't shoot 4K 120 or 1080p 200 FPS like the Air 3. It also won't let you use that lens in Master shots or quick shots or night mode on both lenses like on Air 3. I also hope they fix this with a firmware update very very soon.

Thanks for putting this together, only question remaining is how does the Mavic 3 Pro handle surveying? I'm not looking to get into the business of surveying, but I need to be able to survey various pieces of land I'm currently considering buying to start my farm on in Colombia. Essentially, I need a great content creation drone for my farm, but I also need to survey maybe 5 pieces of land just once. The Multispectral seems overkill for now but something I'll need in 12-24 months once I've planted my 30-50 hectare orchard. But this also handles accurate surveying with it's RTK module.

First, nice review and beautiful shots as always 👌 I have heard a rumour about people crashing the Air 3 in active track, because the drone gets over confident with small branches and things like that, were the Mavic 3 don't go as fast and behaves different and thus survive. Active track is just a gimmick if you ask me, the Skydio beats DJi at this if that's your thing. I will keep my Mavic 3 safe in my collection. The HasselBlad camera and adjustable apature is too good when you first gets used to it.

@JakeSloan 10 месяцев назад

agreed and yeah no active track (including skydio) has been able to deal with small branches etc

Thanks Jake, great video. I am wanting to upgrade from my Air2 S which has done really well and having a hard time deciding between the M3 Classic and the Air 3. In your footage here watching in HD I cant see a massive difference between the M3 and Air3 and considering the price difference I was hoping to. I mainly do Landscape photography. Your thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks.

@JakeSloan 9 месяцев назад

If you mainly do Photography then you definitely want to get the Mavic 3 classic or mavic 3 pro, the photo quality difference between the 2 is substantial and considerably better on the Mavic 3 series thanks to the 4/3" sensor. I think the mavic 3 classic would probably be the best choice for you, Cheers!

Thank you very informative video, i see that classic is on sale now, has been for that last 3 or 4 weeks for roughly 1500 canadian dollars or 1100 US. In your opinion, is it a better buy than Air 3?

@JakeSloan Месяц назад

it is for photo work, but if you plan to do mostly video then I think I would go Air 3

@pdbruce 10 месяцев назад

I’m not selling my Mavic 3 Pro anytime soon but I may sell my Avata and Mini 3 Pro in exchange for the Air 3. My main gripes with the Air 2S have been solved with the Air 3 and it’s small enough for my needs with much more capabilities. Great comparison thank you.

@JakeSloan 10 месяцев назад

the Air 3 cannot run off any other controllers at the moment, and none of these shots were in CO, I do hope to get there some day soon though

thats what I figured because why would DJI act like we keep them up and running. and it looked very similar to imogene pss In Colorado @@JakeSloan

@speedball10169 10 месяцев назад

I've been having issues with the M3 active track. I've been trying to track various objects like a boat in motion or my family doing watersports and I've found that I basically have to be right next to/on top of them for it to figure out what it is I'm trying to track. It still won't work with the watersports, the subject has to remain still while it's trying to figure it out.

@JakeSloan 10 месяцев назад

watersports are difficult for both drones honestly. I have the issue when I am kayaking as well and with both drones

@speedball10169 10 месяцев назад

@@JakeSloan It seems to have issues picking up smaller objects.

@ross_impress 8 месяцев назад

Great comparison. Momently I'm at the Algarve - Portugal and making a lot of photo and video. The problem I have with the Magic 3 classic, I lost a lot of times the signal when I'm about 5OOm away (without any wifi or other antennas around me) so my question is the Air3 'really' much better than the M3C signal, and would it be a good deal to change the M3C for the Air3 in your opinion?

@JakeSloan 8 месяцев назад

unfortunately that is due to restrictions on output power in the EU and it cannot be overcome or changed

@ross_impress 8 месяцев назад

@JakeSloan so the Air3 could give me a solution, minus photo quality on the Air3 but 'better signal quality'?

@SteveMartinUSA 9 месяцев назад

Those are absolutely beautiful drones that take absolutely dreamy shots (and this was a great video). But they're ridiculously large to carry around for general use. It's like carrying around the old 35mm camera vs. the Sony RX100 VII. How quickly did we stop carrying 35mm? Going from the Air 2 to the Air 2S was more significant than I expected, and I preferred launching the Air 2 in public. Yeah, the Air 2S takes better shots but it also makes more noise, which I don't like. I'd rather carry a Mini 3 to Alaska, but even that's stupidly large with either the DJI RC or RCN1. I'm really liking the size and simplicity of the new Hover X1, and think they're on to something... Cheers.

@JakeSloan 9 месяцев назад

Agreed

@ElevatedVehicles 4 месяца назад

Hover X1 with a stacked 1"image sensor, better stability, & a gimbal on the camera & that will be the drone to crush DJI

@WiljanWiljan 10 месяцев назад

Great comparison! Thank you! DJI really needs to quickly add some new extras and benefits to the mavic 3 pro to keep it at the top. The price difference is very high, but the overall benefits and features are almost same as cheaper drones. So DJI really need to quickly launch some good upgrades for the mavic 3 pro.

@jasonlee4267 10 месяцев назад

yea I feel like the Mavic series should have had a whole load of pro features designed only for it and the bigger drones, most of the software is available on their £250/$300 drones, so the price hump is mostly for the camera and battery, which itself has already been matched with the air 3 battery, so really its hard to see where all that extra cost is invested

@JakeSloan 10 месяцев назад

I think they will continue to improve the mavic 3 series but the Air 3 is at such a great price point unless you specifically need features of the Mavic 3 the Air 3 makes more sense

@kevcal5055 9 месяцев назад

I am new viewer of your channel and I confident that I click on the video because I am in a great hesitation on buying the Mavic 3 Pro or the Air 3. Your own comparisons are such well argued that you probably make me finally choose between these two drones. You are a great filmmaker and a very good speaker 😃. Great job for this video !!! 💪💪💪 I’m agree with you about the Mavic 3. The principal Hasselblad Camera is amazing 🤩 but … that’s all for me 🤷🏻‍♂️. I think the Air 3 is more « homogeneous » because of a dual camera with exactly the same quality and same features on it. I would like a premium drone like a potentially Mavic 4 with dual camera, but this time, with both micro 4/3 sensor. And these two with variable Aperture. It would be for me a perfect drone because the third camera on Mavic 3 Pro seems to be like « Gimmick ». If one day this drone release, even if it costs 4500€, or 4800$, it will be a real game changer for me. No Mavic series for me while 2 or 3 cameras have such quality differences between it. Thank you so much for your work 🙏😘

@JakeSloan 9 месяцев назад

Thank you very much and I agree, I can't wait to see what the Mavic 4 is capable of

@iversonmatthew 7 месяцев назад

I own a Spark, Mavic Platinum, Air 2, and Air 3. The 3 serves all my purposes perfectly. The zoom is priceless. The cost is reasonable. I thought about a mini4 too.. the air 3 won in the end precisely for the 3x zoom.

@JakeSloan 7 месяцев назад

First, excellent video. you are remarkable showing every details. Second, correct me if i am wrong, mavic 3 pro is more pleasing to my eyes while mavic air 3 is more contrast, when you are comparing side by side, you looks too red compare with the pro 3, did you color grade or something? maybe with a filter will help to looks more natural and not too contrast? last question, you never used that 70mm mavic air 3 close to you as a mavic 3 pro that you did. i want to know if that close up with mavic air 3 will make more difference, like mavic 3 pro that blur and separate the object for the background. Im in the market now between air 3 new or mavic 3 used(2 cameras). thank you and excellent video.

@JakeSloan 8 месяцев назад

if filters were available for the air 3 at the time this video was made it would have helped...

@bubbachunky9 6 месяцев назад

Hi Jake, huge fan - tune in all the time from Indiana, was curious how you feel about the new leaks of the Mavic 4 - I watched your review, its very obvious to see that if you have the budget, the Mavic 3 pro is currently where you want to be. However, do you feel by DJI standards we could be getting ready for a Mavic 4 Pro as rumored online? Also they sell they bundle with the rcpro controller, however alot of speculation for an improve rcpro 2/ and limited capability for the rcpo with all other newer products. Lastly you mentioned that 30 degree head tilt on the MAvic 3 pro - do you find that limiting? What would Jake Sloan purchase right now, if wanting the best DJI offering - Is it still the Mavic 3 Pro - or are we in a weird space where we need to see what spring brings?

@JakeSloan 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! I don't think we will see a new Mavic 4 until late next year at the earliest based on the past release schedule. I think the next drone to come out will be an FPV/avata series

Bought a used Spark a few years back, and have enjoyed flying it, minus having to use my phone for a screen, definitely will be picking up a used one with the RC, is it worth buying a used with RC, I've heard the older ones are being fazed out or something to that like that. Any input would be helpful! Thanks Josh!
