I've always had mixed feelings with it comes to drone photography. Some days I feel like it's cheating, other days I have so much fun flying around the islands.
Recently, I picked up the DJI Air 3 and have been loving my experience flying it so far, mostly because of some of its new and improved features which I discuss in this video

This is the best review I have seen on the air 3 - I really like the way you break all the components down - fantastic! Thank you

Aloha, Spencer! Mahalo for your video showcasing the Air 3. I recently bought one and want to take it up for a spin. Your footage makes us want to visit the islands again. It's been 9 years since visiting Kona. At that time, I did not own a drone. I like the fact we can travel with this drone being somewhere in between the Mini and the Mavic. Keep up the great work!

@cassijoanna 2 месяца назад

Hands down the best drone for the money! Obviously, the Mavic 3 would be nice but the stacked sensor and the ability to handle high wind makes this the perfect budget setup.

@RandomCityLights 7 месяцев назад

Hey Spencer, very nice review of the drone. Others are often so much focusing on the specs only, but your mix with real flying sessions makes me really want to go out and fly it. Good job! 😊

Awesome review of the DJI Air 3, Spencer. This is a great help. Super photos as well - great work

@2bsure 7 месяцев назад

Awesome review and some super awesome captures. This is why I bought a drone, to enhance my photography and get images a camera cannot reach.

G'day Spencer, Juddy here.. from Australia 🇦🇺 I notice you are building a channel and just want to say keep up the good work Bro, I am working on building a channel also and I am looking to buy a drone next year to improve my ratings, the air 3 is definitely on my radar and thanks to channels like yours I can make an informed decision confidently. Thanks mate, I am sub no. 748 and I will be following your growth into the future.. 😊👍

I’m between upgrading my air 2S and I’m stuck between this or the Mavic 3 classic. I sent my Air 2S from the Kualoa park parking lot to C-man’s hat and as I was taking a shot I lost connection and triggered RTH. Talk about an adrenaline rush! One thing about he 3 classic is that I can pair it with my RC1 but the Air 3 can pair for RC2 wit those extra antennas.

Nice video. The Air3 is a great drone to fly and fun. However the 12meg images are good but the 48meg is crap. And sadly DJI used this to sell the Air3. I have been incontact with DJI and they have admitted there is a major problem with the 48meg images. I feel people should be made aware of this. It was clever marketing but bullshit. And many are pissed.

@GertKlein 6 месяцев назад

Hallo Spencer, Du lebst in einer so schönen Gegend. Die Aufnahmen und Erklärungen sind gut verständlich. Man kann was lernen. Ich habe meine AIR3 aus den gleichen Gründen wie Du gekauft. Ganz ehrlich: Den spektakulären Flug zu den Inseln hätte ich mir nicht getraut. Außerdem ist sowas in Deutschland auch nicht erlaubt. Leider. VG Gert

i was take some pics from DJI AIR 3 for my client..ths was bridge picture so i was fkew drone high then take pics.. as we all know that Air3 have fix 24mm 1.4 camera so cam automatically set shutter 3500 i was set ISO at 100 due to harsh sun. but when i saw pic at pc so disappointed. Bridge look great in picture but VEHICLES who was at bridge was feel NOISY i mean throughout pic not sharp as i was thought can anybody advice solution

@carlos1982 5 месяцев назад

Excellent review brother! I am a total noob when it comes to drones. Do you think they are stable enough to handle astrophotography?

Hmm ive never tried… but will definitely see next mw season!

@sebastiantreloar6045 9 месяцев назад

I would say it wouldn’t be good for long exposures but stacking lots of 2sec exposures would probably work

Can the dji Mavic 3 Propellers work on the dji air3?

@katknights2819 5 месяцев назад

great review, thank you.. I'm new to drones and want one. I can not decide between dji air 3 or mini pro 4 question please - did you use filters in these videos? if yes, which ones? Can you do a video without filters. I just like the air 3 do to videos seem better quality, plus better fight times, weight for windy days is better over the sub 250 drone.

@spencerlee808 4 месяца назад

I didn't use any filters for these videos... yes the 180 degree shutter rule is important but not essential, especially for drone photography, more for filming people... but yes the stability of the air 3 vs the mini is a big plus

@jordanarnold9845 10 месяцев назад

Any thoughts on the Mini 4 Pro update? Lacks the telephoto, but the Occusync 4 should help with the range issues you were having before

@spencerlee808 10 месяцев назад

Definitely! If i was looking for something super small and light with good range, that would be my pick… but idk if its a must upgrade for a mini 3 user…

@JoshConnectMedia 10 месяцев назад

I'd suggest you go for the Air 3. Am gonna swab my Mini 4 pro for the Air 3 soon.

@jordanarnold9845 10 месяцев назад

@@JoshConnectMediawhat’s the draw on the air3 over the Mini 4 Pro for you?

@JoshConnectMedia 10 месяцев назад

@@jordanarnold9845 1. Wind resistance isn’t that great but usable though . Becos of the light weight of the mini 4 pro . If you frequently fly around heavy and high mountainous areas , the confidence level of the wind is sometimes a bit uncomfortable . 2. The telephoto lens of the Air 3 ofcos . But generally if you don’t mind these stuff , the mini 4 pro is sweet . I’ve enjoyed flying it though.

@youssefkarmous6227 9 месяцев назад

@@jordanarnold9845 I have the mini 3 pro and I just bought the air 3. I like how small and compact the mini 3 is, I basically can fly it anywhere without headache, no registration or certification required, but what pushed me to get the air 3 is the wind resistance, with the mini you need to pay attention when/where to fly it. If you live in a windy area, or if you hike mountains and would like to get nice shots, the mini series can struggle and give you hard time getting the shot. I just got the air 3 I'm going to try it and see how it behaves.

@Cpt_Tony 8 месяцев назад

Love this review. Everyone was bitching around because of the camera not having a 1 inch sensor. And they're not completely wrong. Especially during low light conditions the Pictures come out pretty noisy and generally not that great. But as soon as these sensors get good lighting conditions they're just amazing!

@spencerlee808 8 месяцев назад

I think even in low light with the low light ai editing the video comes out pretty good

@Cpt_Tony 8 месяцев назад

@@spencerlee808 I wasn't specific enough! You're right! The low light video performance of this drone is nothing short of amazing, the low light photo performance not so much.

@mhmphotography400 10 месяцев назад

How can you state that the air 3 is the best drone for photography. I have to disagree, the best drone overall is the mavic 3 pro.

@6mazing 10 месяцев назад

Lol

@WOTHFPV 10 месяцев назад

Agreed. Even the Air2S takes better photos than the Air3. That quad bayer sensor is horrible for still photography. DJI can play games and call their photos 48MP, but we all know they are really 12MP.

@whotshisface 10 месяцев назад

@@WOTHFPV.. Sometimes. From what I've seen it's fairly split, dependent on photo. Of course the Mavic 3 pro kick both their arses

@WOTHFPV 10 месяцев назад

@@whotshisface I have never seen an Air 3 photo that looked as good as the same photo taken by an Air 2S or M3. Side by side its not even close. I still prefer the Air3 over the 2S for everything else. Guess we'll wait and see if there is a Air3S with that 1" sensor from the pocket 3 coming....
