This quickly became my goto drone shorty after getting it last August. Mostly for the reasons you pointed out in your review. I prefer it over the Mini 4 Pro because of the 3X tele lens. Great long term review Shawn, and thanks for sharing.
Great video. I have a little money socked away for the S version or Air 4. If the specs don't "Wow" me, I'm going the get this drone and save some money. Looking good Shawn. I bet you are really enjoying your new lifestyle. Congrats!
Great video man. I don't like the vertical mode on the Air 3 that crops your footage and cuts off both sides taking away your freedom to move it left and right in post wherever you would want. And also the goggles 3 are dissapointing with all the missing features. Maybe they can add some things in a firmware update
Ottimo drone, lo sto di gran lunga preferendo al mini4 e mavic3, tanti pregi ed ora attendiamo l’aggiornamento s una camera da un pollice e una apertura variabile, mi spingerebbero sicuramente verso un upgrade…bella recensione, grazie!👍👍
Thanks Shawn - many good points made. I actually fly Air 3 more than Mavic 3. Heres why. With the Hasselblad, Mavic 3 is obviously capable of incredible imaging. I do find it more a "collection of cameras, tweaked to work well together" - we didn't even have D-log M on the 166mm equivalent camera at launch. Air 3, while not having that main camera, has 2 cameras that work as a pair. Every single feature works the same across both, even allowing Waypoints to do super slow 3x-7x zooms from one WP to the next or, using "auto" zoom on the middle one, across 3 waypoints. Everyone who has one knows how great the 70mm equivalent is, and I always miss it on Mini 4 Pro, as great as that drone is, and dont forget 10 m/s ascend/descend. Thats faster than Inspire 3! Thanks again!
Excellent review Shawn. Thank you. It's tempting to move up to, but so far I have stuck with my DJI minis (Canadian), and looking with high hopes for the 5. Those shots in this video are amazing, and if I remember right they come from your trip to Newfoundland a year ago (?). //Tom.
They are actually updated shots captured this year because I was there again this summer just got home about a week and a half ago. A couple of the shots were from last summer I actually filmed the talking part of this out in Newfoundland in Cape Spears.
@@AirPhotography So beautiful. I just finished a video about our Irish roots. In doing some reading I learned that the first Irish in Newfoundland emigrated in 1560 - amazed me! Maybe your roots are Irish too, Shawn. As I understand it, most of the non-indigenous people are.
I expect more and more drones to be equipped with cruise control, as it's a popular feature. Can also see mini drones getting it too. From a vehicle and drone perspective, cruise control is one of the best inventions of all time, IMO.
I'm wondering if I should update the firmware since everything is working fine with my DJI Air 3. What is your opinion on this? Do you think I should update?
Thanks for the great review! I have a question about the battery charging hub. I'm a disabled vet with one hand. Is it possible to remove the batteries from the hub with just one hand? I'm able to do that with my Mini 3 Pro but this charging hub looks like it has a button to press in the hub. It might be impossible with just one hand. Also, can the props be installed with just one hand? Thanks in advance.
Indeed, that would be cool. I have seen similar videos like that. I did make a social media video once where I had mini 3 pro and mini 4 Pro hovering together in my office
I just actually ordered some myself. I just ordered them directly from the DJI website. The only thing doing it that way you will have to pay for shipping. You can get them on Amazon with free shipping. I only ordered from the website because I was ordering another solar panel. I have not used any other brand so I can’t really speak which other brands to use
That is a good question. I don’t really know the answer to that. I’ve had well over 100 charge cycles. I have not noticed any differences really. I would love to know that answer myself
Hi there, great video. I am looking to upgrade my drone. However, I am worried that if I purchase this Air 3 that a week later they will come out with an Air 4 or a newer drone. Do you know of any new drones that DJI plans on coming out with before this year ends? Thank you.
There has been some rumors, but there’s nothing concrete yet. I guess it just depends if you’re currently happy with what you’re flying. You could always hold off and see what comes. And then upgrade. The three has been out for a years, so just history shows us that there should be an updated one coming at some point in the near future
There has been some rumours about the AIR 3S which might get the 1 inch sensor back, but so far no dates. Current DJI release schedule seems to be the new mini drone NEO and the Action 5 camera. And possibly a interchangeable lens camera from DJI as well.
If you buy a drone about a year after its release date you can find some really nice deals. I just bought the Air 3 fly more kit which was discounted but some retailers will also add a free bundle. My bundle included a backpack, 128gb sd card and landing pad for free. Check the big online photography retailers.
Personally, I use the 65 W charger that DJI sells. I use it for all my drones and charging my action cameras lots of power and it’s nice and compact for travel
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
They’re both excellent drones three main things to help help you choose is price mini series is a little cheaper. The mini is also under 250 g which can be important in some countries and it’s smaller, making it better for travel. we are three is more powerful and can fly and higher winds. Can fly faster so you just have to look at what’s most important to you
Hi everybody. I ordered today this drone then now I am not sure I did a good decision. Yesterday I crashed my 5 years old Mavic Pro who was able to do only 24 frames so I was not that sad about crashing it. But I was expecting something really better from DJI 3 air. But when I watch this video done by this drone then I see it is far to be at least a bit cinematic. Omg, I did a mistake…😢
I don’t really see the point in the price difference for this one. The mini four pro does almost everything this one does I get it is faster and has a longer battery life and a little bit better camera, but I don’t think it’s worth the price difference
This thing is too fast,its cine mode is not as smooth as air 2 as unless you control the camera manually using the remote sticks but overall its a good drone everything is perfect exceptfor this one thing
They have that new feature where you can set the speed of the Cine mode. You can slow right down to where it’s barely moving at all. I agree the default cine speed is way too fast.
I love your video sean! They are always so informative. I also love my air 3!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate that.
Thanks for the video it was superb! Keep up with the good work! Hi from the 🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it!
Keep up the good work brother. Always enjoy your content!

I agree, Ron. I’m really excited to see what they do next with this line.
Just ordered this drone today as got a great deal on a used but like new combo kit for £600 but only 2 of the 3 batteries. Worth it for that price
Definitely that’s a great deal
Great video. I have a little money socked away for the S version or Air 4. If the specs don't "Wow" me, I'm going the get this drone and save some money. Looking good Shawn. I bet you are really enjoying your new lifestyle. Congrats!
Indeed, it will be interesting to see what they introduce next. And thank you very much. Yes, life is quite different now.

Thank you for watching

From a vehicle and drone perspective, cruise control is one of the best inventions of all time, IMO.
Indeed, I do believe it’ll be a standard feature moving forward the mini 4 pro has it as well
How much charge cycle done durimg 1 year time and does flight time effect??
Looking great Sean! I'm about ready to get one of these! Hoping they release the next version and ill buy this one cheaper! lol
Indeed definitely should be able to get a good deal. And thank you very much.
Love my air 3, nice video.
Thanks 👍

Have you ever tried doing a flight of all the drones in formation .. would be really cool
Indeed, that would be cool. I have seen similar videos like that. I did make a social media video once where I had mini 3 pro and mini 4 Pro hovering together in my office
Is that ship is in harbour grace?
i think they will put 1 inch sensor on air 3s
That would definitely be awesome
Do you have a preferred link for replacement blades? I need some for the Djiair 3
I just actually ordered some myself. I just ordered them directly from the DJI website. The only thing doing it that way you will have to pay for shipping. You can get them on Amazon with free shipping. I only ordered from the website because I was ordering another solar panel.

@@AirPhotography Thank you so much!
How many charge cycles do you think the air 3 battery will have before it degrades?
That is a good question. I don’t really know the answer to that. I’ve had well over 100 charge cycles. I have not noticed any differences really. I would love to know that answer myself
@@AirPhotographythank you for that useful information. have a nice day. 🤗
Good job any news on the DJI NEO?
I’ve just seen some of the posts on Twitter. Looks pretty cool.

Do you have any video on Yuneec typhoon h please.
Unfortunately, no that’s a drone I never did own
@@AirPhotography okay
Hi what is the best charger for the air 3
Thanks for the amazing video
Personally, I use the 65 W charger that DJI sells. I use it for all my drones and charging my action cameras lots of power and it’s nice and compact for travel
Ok thanks 👍
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
Hello, your friend, I'm having a problem with dji air 3, please help
What is your problem? You can always reach out to the DJI technical support team. They’re really good at helping with issues.
@@AirPhotography There is no way to break the restrictions for this type
Still waiting on the “Classic” single camera version…..
This Drone or the mini 4 pro? Im absolutely new to drones.
They’re both excellent drones three main things to help help you choose is price mini series is a little cheaper. The mini is also under 250 g which can be important in some countries and it’s smaller, making it better for travel. we are three is more powerful and can fly and higher winds.

I really wish the custom buttons on the controller would still work while using the goggles.
As a photographer the smalk sensor size is why I didnt buy an Air 3..
It is interesting how many RUclipsrs are doing a 1-year review of the DJI mavic system 🤔.
Also the audio sounds bad.

But when I watch this video done by this drone then I see it is far to be at least a bit cinematic. Omg, I did a mistake…😢
What's up with the audio first part of this video?
I was recording on a coastline with really high winds, I know it’s hard to tell in the video, but that was really affecting the audio
I don’t really see the point in the price difference for this one. The mini four pro does almost everything this one does I get it is faster and has a longer battery life and a little bit better camera, but I don’t think it’s worth the price difference
