Thanks for sharing you perspective on the Air 3. I had considered buying it as my next upgrade but now that so much time has passed, I am expecting the next Air upgrade to be on deck really soon. Truly, if the comparison is significant, I will probably go with that. If not, I will get the Air 3 and likely save a little money.
Oh this is so freaking helpful!!! Thank you so much!
I do raid 0
started off with the Mini 4 Pro and 6 months later got the Air 3. Both very similar and capable drones but to me, the air 3 is slightly better due to it's flight times, heavier weight/wind resistance, top speed, and that zoom lens. The bad is one air 3 battery is 2x the price of a Mini battery. The bigger Air 3 makes you seem more high end/professional when it comes to clients. Visibility of the Air is both good and bad over the Mini. It's much easier to keep track of during the day and night but more visible to people that want to cause you issues during flight. The Mini isn't as noticable and if you sneeze hard enough, you might lose VLOS for a few seconds.
Note on RAID 1 a properly implemented controller would read different blocks from different disks, so on reads it would give your greater speed, the writes would be the issue.
buy the 5 bay, no RAID!
Thanks for sharing
Nice update to 4K+ production thought. For $10~ you can upgrade the fan with a variable speed and bigger blades and make that part silent if the cover is off or you create flow-thru. Add a double-layer of foam pre-filter to catch dust (cheapest - search air conditioner~).. One thing that is vital is to manage the information so that you can find where you put things. These days you can do the following: create a thumnail video - something very small with decent resolution. At the same time you produce a verbatim text transcript. You assign a serial number. You ensure accurate metadata. And you assign long-term storage which gets preserved like you describe. That's not what I have - yet - but AI will make this "effortless" - maybe - soon.
Your video has been super helpful for me making a decision about my much needed storage system upgrade. Thank you for sharing!
I was saving up for a mavic 3 pro till I ran across a air 3 brand new with the rc2 fly more kit for 200 bucks...I stole this thing.
Sounds like you almost literally stole it 🤣
Yes, looks like you literally stole it.
Thank you! for audio I ended up purchasing the holly land lark max. Your light choice peaked my interest though. is it universal with other soft boxes? I’m more interested in the honeycomb style for softer light.
Yes! These have a Bowens mount which is pretty standard for most photo/video softboxes.

Man. Where was this video 72 hours ago when I started rabbit holing here? You just answered all my questions and came up with a great solution. Happy new subscriber.
Great to hear!
A caution about V-mount batteries and flying. You can NOT take batteries rated more than 100 watts on a comercial flight. Two 100 watt batteries are fine. A single 101 watt battery is not. You do not want to get to the TSA check point and discover you can't take your battery on your flight. I have had luck with the brand Kastar. Good quality with fast ship out of LA. I took one of their small NP-F batteries apart and found chinese batteries inside from what appears to be a high quality Chinese Li-Ion battery manufacturer.
Great info!
@4:30 what!??! seriously those are your reasons for NOT getting a nas? what a joke, stopped watching bye
Thanks for watching!
@@VideoVo-Tech now i feel like crap for commenting this. i'm sorry bruh, you just tryin'a do some vids here, my bad
I used that old VHS camcorder you have in the background when I was in college. Brings back memories.
Ha! That's awesome. I've only ever used it to make some VHS overlays to make footage look like VHS!
Did you boom an xlr mic with a 3.5mm jack? Hows the sound from that?
Yes, My Sennheiser MKE 600 takes a AA for power and I use a XLR>3.5mm adapter into the Rode. I think it sounds great and then I have an audio backup on the Rode Wireless.
Wow I really appreciate this insight and reminder to just.... be kind! I feel like it's so easy to get caught up in the 'sale' or the work and put up a wall while on set/ trying to secure a good shoot. Thanks for the tips, you found a new subscriber!
Thanks so much, Garrett! I have to remind myself all the time, it's hard when we have so much to think about for any given job. Onwards!
Greetings from reddit here :) nice Video. I recently made also a video liek this. But different
Hey, thanks so much! It really is such an important aspect of the business! I'll check it out.
Nice drone 😊
Very nice!
@@VideoVo-Tech yes it is 🇮🇩
I'd fill that with cat pictures. :)
Based on my calculations, 44TB would be about 4,400,000 cat photos 😂
I have to say I’m loving the Air 3 so far. I also have the original Mavic 3 . The zoom lens on the Air 3 is far better than the telephoto lens on the original Mavic 3 in my opinion. It’s a solid drone
I totally agree! That's the only problem with companies coming out with so many iterations of things, it really makes it hard to commit to new products. Original Mavic 3 just was a weird time and got so quickly replaced 😢
Similar issue here. I had a G-Raid drive with 2 - 20TB drives, one for files and one as a backup. I was getting to where there was no room for the drives to really work so I just added another (Sandisk Pro) G-RAID Mirror with 2-22TB drives. Both these are configured to RAID-0 for speed but they're still not fast, and one backs up to the other each night. So the two are not connected by a RAID setting. Now I have room to grow. If I edit videos, I move the files to NVMe drives. BackBlaze is the off site backup of choice. Thanks for the video.
Such a similar solution! What type of files/editing are you working with? This setup isn't as fast as an SSD but I haven't had any issues with the speed editing Black Magic Raw and Prores in Adobe Premiere and Davinci Resolve.
@@VideoVo-Tech My day job is in banking but my side business is sports photography. I have a lot of memory tied up in composite photos for banners, posters and such. I typically do not compress these or move them to other external storage. I play with some videos using Final Cut Pro but that work is minor so far. I guess if you were to call someone a digital hoarder, that'd be me. I have older PPT, Word and XL files that go way back. But they take up more space being listed on a directory than hard drive space that would be recoverable. That is, its hardly worth the time thinning them out.
@@zavoina I totally understand!
I just got my Air 3 last week and I love it. I also used to have an Air 2S emphasis on used to. I lost my Air 2S to a tree on the side of a Georgia mountain. It was totally my fault. A very expensive mistake. But with my tax return I picked up the Air 3 and I’m already convinced the Air 3 is superior and I don’t miss my old Air 2S at all. This is a great upgrade in my opinion.
Oh no! I agree the Air 3 has been a worthy upgrade so far!

Definitely budget audio improvements like clips and improved heads for lavs
Thanks tor making this video. Great help!
So glad you enjoyed it! I'm always looking for solid budget options when buying gear.
Those lights have my interest peaked! Great video man!
Thanks! Yes, the Amarans are an insane value!!
LETS GOOOO
I was looking at the mini 4 pro. But i like 700 grams over 249. Wind becomes a non issue.
Mini 4 Pro looks like it would be more fun to own! The Air 3 makes more sense for me from a versatility aspect. I'd love to have both though!
Most people aren't upgrading every year. Thats crazy. Unless there's a major jump in tech without a major jump in price
I totally agree! As a business, the small jumps in tech still have a large impact by saving me time and energy, so I'm always having to look into things and weigh the pro/cons.
Such an awesome review mate! Thank you 😊
Thank you! I hope it was helpful.
Running down a battery to 30% ruins it? 🤔
Hi! It doesn't hurt the battery, but I meant that on the Air 2s after a flight I'd often have 30% left on a battery. That meant you could have 5-10 Minutes of flight time left and it was hard to use that battery again without it putting me in a situation where the drone was threatening to auto-land mid flight. If you are doing short controlled flights it may not matter.
An excellent review of a truly fantastic drone. It is worth mentioning that if you are using the RC2 then after flying the Air 3 after you have used up all 3 batteries the contoller then needs charging too. If you use the DJI 100 watt charger yoy can charge all 3 batteries and the charger similtaneously and it is really quick to do. Usually taking around 3 hours. I have absolutely no negative issues with my Air 3. I fly it.a lot and never fail to wonder at the multitude if possibilities that are open to it. A lot of them I have tried. A lot of them I have still to try. I would recommend it to just about anyone.
Thanks! It's great to know if info about the DJI 100w charger, thanks so much for that! I agree, I think about how good this drone is for the price anytime I use it.
AIR3 GANG 🛸💯👽
Ayyyy 💯🚀🎥
Many errors
Much apology
im good with the mini 4.
Mini 4 looks awesome! For paid work, the 70mm definitely makes the Air 3 a better option for me to get shots that I couldn't before. I'd love to have a M4P or even a M3P though.
@@VideoVo-Tech there's a wide angle adapter for the mini 4. Not exactly the sae tho.
@@technodrone313 good point though, I want to get the one for the Air 3! There's really no bad drone options with all the major ones now.
yep even the mini 2 se for 300 bucks is going to produce a halfway decent video@@VideoVo-Tech
this video came at the right time as having multiple 8K cameras, 360, and drone footage from a single day of shooting really adds memory, not including proxies.
Glad to hear! What cameras are you shooting on?
I'm a photographer and I'm using 2 OWC Thunderbay 4 enclosures in RAID 0 each. One is a Thunderbay 4 Mini, which is my faster of the two enclosures since I have 4 x 2.5" 2TB SSDs in it for my main storage of my RAWs. The second Thunderbay 4 has 4 x 3.5" 4TB HDDs which I use as backup of my other enclosure and I use CCC to clone it regularly. The fans can get a bit loud, especially the bigger DAS since it has mechanical drives in it. Fortunately I have created my own home server out of an older MBP and I have it running out of my garage with the RAID drives attached to that. I have heard of people swapping out the fans for much quieter ones. On my main desk though, it is so nice to have a silent work space. BTW, I bought the Thunderbay enclosures used on Craigslist for around $100 each. I do hope 2.5" SSDs keep increasing in capacity and dropping in price, because we're almost at the point where NVMe SSDs are almost matching 2.5" SSDs in price and capacity. At some point in the future I will have to get an NVMe RAID enclosure.
Sounds like a solid setup! I thought the same thing when looking for a 2.5" SSD for my laptop. It looks like those prices are steady and NVMEs keep getting better.
@@VideoVo-Tech right now on the low end 4TB NVMe and 2.5" SSDs are both around $200 each. Obviously NVMe are way faster, so when it comes time to upgrade my 8TB RAID drive, I'm hoping 2.5" SSDs drop in price and increase in capacity significantly to keep using them or I'll have to make the switch to an NVMe RAID enclosure. I'm hoping by the time i need more storage, a 4TB SSD can be had for ~$100
@@charminbaer2323 🤞🤞 I've got to keep a pretty large amount of footage online so it looks like it may be a while before SSD raid is in my future.
@@VideoVo-Tech I just saw a video of a 48TB SSD RAID (12 x 4TB NVMe) for $17.5K. yeah, hopefully by the time I need that much. storage, prices would be exponentially cheaper.

I bought an HP Z420 workstation for $100, installed TrueNAS Core, installed 4 x WD 10 TB shucked drives (removed from USB enclosures, cheaper that way), added a cheap 10 Gbit SPF+ NIC from ebay, and a DAC cable. Later I installed 64 GB ram, and NVMe cache.
I'm not quite tech savvy enough to go the DIY server route but this sounds awesome!
antiroll-back firmware - pass. not compatible with RC-Pro -pass smaller sensor size - pass. night mode is cartoon-like -pass size -ok weight -ok speed and range -OK.
I would argue that the night mode isn't cartoonish at all especially the 70mm. It is auto ISO and baked in NR which could deter a lot of people but as far as image quality it is very usable. Understandable though if it doesn't check your boxes!
Surely the pro controller will not support further drones. Maybe time think about selling.
It REALLY depends on what you're doing and how. If you are editing on your local system, hence the need for direct attached storage (DAS) (rather than network attached storage (NAS)), then this probably works for you. If you're editing on a remote system, and you are able to get almost the same performance (or better) vs. editing on your local machine -- then building a bigger server, and running everything off of that single server might be the better option for you. I have a QNAP TS-453Be 4-bay NAS (which only has dual GbE ports). The newer versions have 2.5 GbE. I also have two QNAP TS-832X 8-bay NAS as well (which comes with dual GbE ports and dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports). That worked well for what it is, when I was using it. Now I have 36-bay server, and all of the containers and VMs run off of that, and the virtio NIC in MacOS/Windows 10+/Linux -- "sees" it as a 10 GbE NIC; but I don't need 10 GbE switches, cables, nor actual, physical NICs. In Windows 7, it "sees" the virtio NIC as a 100 Gbps NIC. That's my "do everything" server. And for the systems that support it, I also use virtio-fs to pass data between the VM <-> host, which bypasses the network stack entirely, and therefore; works a lot better and a lot faster. Like you said, different people have different needs, which drives different solutions.
Very well said everyone has a totally different list of boxes they need to check. The big server with VMs sounds insane! Later down the road this type of server could work well for me for the amount of space it could have. How many TBs?
@@VideoVo-Tech I think that total raw capacity is something like 268 TB in 4x3/8x6/8x6/8x10/8x10 configuration. The first 4x3 is in HW RAID6 (for the OS itself). The second 8x6 is in its own raidz2 vdev/pool (for the VM/CT OS images). (I originally started with everything, all in one giant pool, but when the big pool was busy, the VM/CT OS started reporting issues when it was trying to read/write to the VM/CT OS disk image file. So I ended up splitting the pool back up and out. The third, 4th, and 5th are raidz2 vdevs, in one big pool together for bulk storage. That results in a usable capacity of 198 TB. It sounds insane, but that actually ended up consuming about HALF as much power as I did vs. when I had the separate NAS systems, plus an older dual Xeon server that was running TrueNAS Core. A LOT of tech RUclipsrs talk about how most homelabbers -- their systems tend to have relatively low load averages. My big server (dual Xeon E5-2697A v4 (16-core/32-thread, 32-cores/64-threads total) has a nominal load average of 50 (as a result of it being a "do everything" server). It does the work of like 23 CTs and 17 VMs, all in one box, and all within a 670 W power consumption/budget (which if I had separate systems, it would be consuming way more power, and wouldn't necessarily be as performant, overall). I was looking at the cost of 10 GbE switches and they cost at least HALF of what I paid for the 36-bay server (off of eBay), whereas I can have the server do everything that it does, AND via virtio NIC -- run/use 10 GbE networking, but saved the money on the cost of deploying 10 GbE networking. So win-win.
@@ewenchan1239 super cool! It's fun to get creative and find these solutions that are a little off the beaten path but perfect for what we are doing 🤘
@@VideoVo-Tech Yeah - the whole mass consolidation project that I went through late 2022/early 2023 was entirely and wholly centered around cutting power consumption. Back then, between my 48-port GbE Netgear switch, QNAP 4-bay NAS, 2x QNAP 8-bay NASes, and my 12-bay TrueNAS dual Xeon server, it was consuming 1242 W nominal. That was huge. So the project (and research) was underway with the goal of cutting that power consumption by HALF. It ran a three-way head-to-head competition between xcp-ng, TrueNAS, and Proxmox to find out which virtualisation platform would be BEST able to facilitate VM <-> Host data transfers (since I found out that most of my systems were communicating regularly to the host server and/or between the NAS systems; and long story short - Proxmox won. From there, there were experiments, first with VMs (migrating from Oracle VirtualBox to Proxmox), and then discovering that LXC containers can do what VMs do (as long as it was still running Linux), and was more efficienct with resource utilisation vs. "full fat" VMs. And recently, I have been playing around (again) with sharing a GPU between multiple LXC containers, for GPU accelerated computing. (HPC CFD) From there, it then became a project of "let's see how much stuff I can shove onto this single system?" iSCSI initially worked, but then because of how busy the system and the drives became, that ended up getting split back out to my 4-bay QNAP NAS instead. 48-port GbE Netgear switch dropped down to a 16-port (+8 port) GbE switch (for physically separate network layers, because as far as I can tell, even a managed switch that can do VLANs, can't accept two separate uplink paths/sources). And now, the whole system consumes about 670 W. So yeah. Fun stuff. LOTS of late nights, getting it all up and running.
Awesome breakdown !! I am looking in to getting Air 3 now and you helped me set my mind !
That's awesome, really glad it was helpful. Everyone has different needs but the Air 3 is such an incredible drone for the money!

I have the mini 4 pro only u pgrade or additional drone that would make sense for me is the Mavic 3 series
I really thought about the M4P! The size seems like it'd be such a fun drone to have.
@@VideoVo-Tech it does almost everything a bigger drone does except for zoom but I mostly use it for travel videos and music videos so no zoom needed but it follows my car and has MasterShots All types of features that beginners can use for cool shots
Love the budget solution. Another thing to note is if you were to build a nas (which could have been done for about $100 more) you would have to upgrade networking to see fast speed. A 10 gig USB C cable is way cheaper than a 10 gig network. I will say, I think you would have liked the NVME Cache on something like TrueNAS
Good to know about the USB C to 10 gig cable! I like having some portability with this setup but I do think that one day I may outgrow it and do something like you suggested!
This is what you get when you have a non-computer person try to figure out raid If you are considering this solution, please watch other videos, almost everything in this video is wrong
Sir vision sencer how to clabration
It looks like the Air 3 Auto Calibrates the vision sensor and there isn't a manual way to do it.
You absolutely can backup a Nas to Backblaze the cheap route without the premuim plan. That goes for QNAP and Synology
Good to know!
