I would always carry the best drone I own. There are many reasons why the Mavic 3 Pro stands out. I may have made an unintended mistake buying the M3 Classic instead of the Pro thinking only the Cine had 3 lenses. It's only another $500.
Thanks for sharing! I got RC Pro which is not compatible with Ocusync 4.0 drones (Air 3 and, Mini 4 Pro ). It stops me from buying new DJI drones. I keep flying my Mavic 3 with RC Pro.
I switched from the Air 3 to the Mini 4 Pro for portability. The Air 3 takes a huge amount of space in my camera bag and I didnt use the 3x Zoom as much as I would have expected tbh.
Explain more. I have the Mini 4 pro, unopened still! But can't decide if I should stay with it or change it to Air 3. I think I'll be doing a little bit of everything. Tracking my wife and kids when playing in the garden. Inspecting my roof... and searching for dead trees/fire wood in the forest. Some scenery video and footage when on road trips. I do travel a lot in my profession so bringing a drone with me is a good way of doing something fun when I otherwise may end up bored in the hotel room or rentals. I think zoom would be nice, I actually use it quite often on my Google pixel phone. But maybe less so on a drone. I don't know. I would probably use the Dji Integra goggles as well and both of the drones are compatible with it. What would you do in my position?

I have a Mini 3, but I want to get a bigger drone. I mostly just want better quality, better range, and more zoom. I like stalking people with my drone. Which drone would you prefer I get?
That was a complete drone buying guide, and a real asset for anyone looking to get their first drone, or even upgrading from an older one. Thanks for sharing Jeven.
I bought the mini 4 pro, have yet to take it out on its maiden flight but the major factors for my purchase was the sub 250g weight since I'm in Canada and I don't want to get a drone pilot license, omni-directional obstacle avoidance for a complete beginner, the improved signal with OC4 and the upgraded RC2, and then the new features and improved camera software. I could have saved a couple hundred getting the mini 3 pro, but I felt the upgrades were significant and worth the extra dollars.
On motorcycle trips (especially with space and weight sensitive offroad riding) for me there is really no other option than the Mini series. The M4P now gives me the peace of mind of obstacle avoidance and also tracking modes compared to the Mini 3 that I had before. Love it!
You will be disappointed by how user-unfriendly DJI's active track is in real life. You have to stop and stop and stop again and get nowhere. Try use the touchscreen with that circle thing while riding your bike. Impossible. And I wouldn't rely too much on the obstacle avoidance. It works 99% of time. But it is that 1% that is the problem. It means out of 100 minutes you have one full minute of crashes. What works better is follow-me using Dronelink, Maven, or Litchi. You just put the drone up and away from any danger and you can concentrate on riding instead of staring at a screen to see if the drone is still behind you or stuck between some branches. If you just want some shots of you riding in the local park, then active-track has more options for sure. If you actually have to go somewhere it sucks. I may be wrong. I hope I am wrong. But my guess is you use it one or two times and then don't bother anymore. What DJI is trying to do is invent a soup bowl with jet engines that moves to your spoon and tilt to pore in exactly the right amount using the advanced sensors and software, instead of just grabbing the spoon yourself. DJI doesn't make hiker/biker drones. It's not their thing. If I were to let you fly my $130 drone with follow-me, you would say 'Holy cow. It's so simple, so easy! Tie the small controller on the right side with the stick in reach, phone other end on your handlebar, push the button, and off we go. '
You’ve definitely made my mind up with this video about what drone to buy now Jeven! After about a year of procrastinating! I’ve never flown a drone before and I don’t want anything to expensive or complicated to use at first. The DJI MINI 3 fly more combo kit with the RC controller I think would be the best suited for me at about $1,200.
Personally, I'd buy the Mini 4 Pro over the 3. Omnidirectional sensing, better transmission system, Mastershots, slow motion. The omni sensors will save your a$$, cuz most of my crashes were the result of sideways travel.
I bought the Mini 4 pro fly more plus. I went with the mini 4 because it comes will all the good tech, and, I'm a novice. I don't know if it will become a passion or stoarge, so at a reasonable price I went with the safest and cheapest option which also happens to be very well versed with its tracking technology, camera quality and versatility. The mini 4 pro weighs 250 grams full load baring (w/ battery) so it will be eligible for pretty much everyone around the world, and if you travel that means you most likely won't need to have a special license or permit (not all countries are like this). For example I live in Australia and the Mini 4 pro is in an excluded category for citizens, meaning I just have to do a free online quiz and register my drone in order to fly it and use it commercially. Also, it's very compact for travelling. Feels no more than a small satchel on the waist with all the gear you get with the fly more package. IF YOU ARE NEW, go for the Mini 4 pro. It's simply safer for cost and you get a significant update on the much needed technology the expensive drones get. Your photos will still be high quality and being new you should be using this drone to learn while still also being able to market if you decide to go commercial with drone operation. I was going to buy a mini 3 until I saw that it is considerably bare compared to its younger counterpart.
Great review Jeven. I went thru a similar analysis and I decided on the Air 3 about a month ago. My business is based around using drones professionally, so I have to do a business case justification before I purchase anything new. The Mavic 3 Pro was my want, but the Air 3 was my justification. Half the price w/ Fly More, and the 3x sensors are the same size anyway. Between my Mavic 2 Pro, Air 2S and now the Air 3, I think I'm covered for a while. I'm really really liking the Air 3. If DJI would have put an adjustable aperture on the Air 3, I would have bought 2 and sold my remaining Mavic 2 Pro. Cheers! Ken
@@jordy188the Mavic is heavy, has more restrictions, is more expensive to buy and repair. If you're flying somewhere that you already have footage for, then it makes sense to just grab a mini etc if just for fun.
Good content, one thing i noticed you kept calling the 1/1.3" sensor a "1 and 1 third inch sensor". 1 and 1/3" would be 4/3, or the micro four thirds from the mavic 3 whereas 1/1.3" is much smaller (0.77") and falls in-between the 4/3 and the 1/2" sensor
I'm certainly getting the Air 3. Gives me vibes of the Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 (my favorite drone). Definitely the perfect choice for me as I don't usually prefer too small or too large/expensive drones.
Just got into this, bought the Potensic Atom to learn on...I'm in love and will be buying one drone for each day of the month....will be trying a DJI next...have 1,000 acres out in the middle of nowhere so the geofencing shouldn't bother me. Thats why I avoided DJI to start....anyhow thank you for the video. 😊
incredible comparison video. so perfectly detailed. personally im using the mini 3. its my first one so didn't wanna spend a redivulous price when im not using it that much. I use it for doing wedding group photos and just pissing about making videos and still learning so I don't need colour grading and such.
I’m currently flying both the DJi Air 2S and the Mavic 3 Pro and I use the DJI RC Pro controller for both. I think in this video you said the RC Pro could only be used on the mavic 3 versions.
There compatible with both, after a firmware update, currently using an Air 2s with the rc pro, and looking and purchasing the mavic 3 pro, how do you find switching between the two?
Great vid! Currently fly a Mini 3 Pro and an Air 3. Find myself flying my Air 3 more these days due to the 70mm, but still love the small size of the Mini. Both are great options.
Still rockin the mavic 2 pro and use it weekly for shoots. I definitely need to upgrade though my batteries are so swollen and flight time is like 10-15 mins max per battery which frustrates me so much. Thank you for this video!
Thank you for the info and breakdown. I have the Air s2 - and love it. But I want the 70mm - The Air s3 is my best consideration for now. Or take a leap with the 3 Pro.....I have been flying my friends Cine and its EPIC.
What is the least wind resistance level according to you that a traveller could work with? Do you think level 4 is enough for not letting the drone to actually fall because of the wind? Because I heard that next DJI drone will have that..
Very informative video, i just want to ask, planning to buy air 3. , how good the quality when filming vertical video at 2.7k and upload in facebook for video content, do you recommend it? It is enough the video quality resolution or not. Thanks.hope you notice..
Wow freakn awesome drone guide. I have the M3 Standard and love it. I've also used it to capture video for clients back in September and they like it as they are hiring me again for another mountain bike race later this month. The M3 in Sport Mode on crazy fast at keeping up with some of these mountain biker riders. Also the 7x 165mm allows me to reach some of the contestants that were within a Restricted Airspace because of an old abandoned power plant and the M3 is out away from it
Seriously think you should try flying a Mini 3 Pro and you'd realise it does have obstacle avoidance (Granted only forward and rear), also shoots in D-log 10bit Raw in video. Please make sure you are giving the correct information in your video's considering this was only uploaded 3 weeks ago. Grated Mini 4 is better with 360 obstacle avoidance and updated options in the software, but still a good budget option for new flyers.
As a first time drone owner (of the mini 3 pro), I'm a little puzzled why the mini 3 base is being compared here rather than the more feature dense mini 3 pro 🤔
Thanks for the great review!! Would you be able to confirm if the dynamic range of Air 3 is better than Air 2S? Specially when flying towards the sun, how does it handle the bright and dark parts?
I have the Mavic 2 Pro & I bought the Mini 4 Pro a mo ago.. I love the mini 4 Pro with 6 batteries but wish I could unlock it's height limits. My next drone will be the Mavic 3 Enterprise RTK It's pricey but I'm gonna put that baby to work.
I just upgraded my old p3s into a pro body shell and upgraded the video with a better aerial transmitter, it does 1.5 on video and 4k on wifi. About as good as it gets
Found a used unit of Mavic air 3 FM which cost about the same as a brand new Mini 4 pro FM... does it worth to get the air 3 instead? (maybe about USD80 differences)
What 4k camera you will recommend, if i don't wana use colour grading to make it look better? Not for filming just for events recording Record and upload?
Unfortunately in my experience it was a bit of a downgrade. Don't get me wrong I'm glad to have a new modern drone with the new app and features but the camera doesn't hold up to even the Mavic 2 Pro. I hesitated on buying the M3 Classic as it was a lot more expensive but came with less stuff in the box. The 48MP DJI claims on the Air 3 is utter BS and still very much looks like a 12MP sensor (Which it is). Part of me wishes I spent the extra $250 for the Classic 3 but besides the downgrade from the camera I love everything the Fly More combo has to offer and the new RC-2 controller
Hi DC I do forrestry work on my property, felling and thinning trees to promote growth for the larger trees (extremely overgrown) I have zero drone experience and want something to follow me with obstacle avoidance. Say $1,200 budget+/- most important is obstacle avoidance, as it is possible trees might be falling toward the drone. As strange as it might sound the camera on any drone is good enough, im more concerned about obstacle avoidance.
You have said dji mini 3 and 4 do not have obstacle avoidance. What I know is that mini 3 does not have that facility but the mini 3 pro has obstacle sensing and avoidance. The mini 4 is more advanced and has 4 fish eye omnidirectional obstacle sensing and avoidance facilities.
I took my MP4 on its maiden voyage on a very windy day yesterday.......making me consider returning for air 3 tbh just looked very easy to move and often cuz get moved by gusts of wind
I'm going to buy the Air 3 next based on this review...trying to find where to buy the warranty from DJI??? Maybe it's not available thru Amazon? Thats where I buy most of my stuff. I'll keep looking. Thanks again for the video.
Is the vertical shooting 2.7k on the Air 3 sufficient enough for social media? I had an Air 2 just sold it. Not sure which one to get out of mini pro 4 and air 3 Please help. Great video
I notice you left them any three pro price out of there because they are both the same price as the mini 4 which is ridiculous. so aggravated with DJI for this last lineup
Which drone is your favorite?
I would always carry the best drone I own. There are many reasons why the Mavic 3 Pro stands out. I may have made an unintended mistake buying the M3 Classic instead of the Pro thinking only the Cine had 3 lenses. It's only another $500.

All of these look good on the standard profile. Look at the other features to see what makes the most sense for you. I prefer the Air3
Mavic 3 classic is the best for sure for money spent
Best review fast & informative 👌🏽
Привет. Что ты думаешь о 8к в Mavic 4 Pro ?
Your videos are so freaking good. Good, useful content, quick, to the point with none of that campy "look at me, iIm trying to be likable" dumb stuff.
Can you do tutorial on Mavic 3 pro cine. Perhaps settings that you preferred to use
why haven't they updated the active track on the Mini 3 pro as well as? the precise landing and the remote still could be backwards compatible
What about max fly heights of mini4 pro it needs unlock? How?
What grading is available on the Mini3 Pro?
Well, I lost my Phantom 3 over a cliff the other day, so this comparison video came at the best time!
What drone did you end up getting?
I love my mini 3, such a reliable and small drone!
Thanks for the detailed breakdown 👍
Awesome video man. Thanks a lot!
For Someone Who Is upgrading from the mavic 2 pro is the Air 3 okay and comparable in photo and video qaulity?
Unfortunately in my experience it was a bit of a downgrade. Don't get me wrong I'm glad to have a new modern drone with the new app and features but the camera doesn't hold up to even the Mavic 2 Pro. I hesitated on buying the M3 Classic as it was a lot more expensive but came with less stuff in the box. The 48MP DJI claims on the Air 3 is utter BS and still very much looks like a 12MP sensor (Which it is). Part of me wishes I spent the extra $250 for the Classic 3 but besides the downgrade from the camera I love everything the Fly More combo has to offer and the new RC-2 controller
Air 3 is great because it’s not too big or too small, it has great wind resistance, long battery life and beautiful camera footage
Hi DC I do forrestry work on my property, felling and thinning trees to promote growth for the larger trees (extremely overgrown) I have zero drone experience and want something to follow me with obstacle avoidance. Say $1,200 budget+/- most important is obstacle avoidance, as it is possible trees might be falling toward the drone. As strange as it might sound the camera on any drone is good enough, im more concerned about obstacle avoidance.
is a 2nd hand mavic 2 pro a good option in 2024? Also is it compatible with the RC?
Yes, just got mine 2nd hand with the RC smart controller and its fantastic for photography
You have said dji mini 3 and 4 do not have obstacle avoidance. What I know is that mini 3 does not have that facility but the mini 3 pro has obstacle sensing and avoidance. The mini 4 is more advanced and has 4 fish eye omnidirectional obstacle sensing and avoidance facilities.
Mini 4 pro does it for me its a little beast
Some good info although the Mini 3 shouldn't have been mentioned or compared as its been superseded my the Mini 4.
Doesn't the mini 3 pro have obstacle avoidance and tracking?
I like doong fishing and boating sometime on the beach, is Dji mini pro 4 is good with the beach ? As is windy around the beach?
I took my MP4 on its maiden voyage on a very windy day yesterday.......making me consider returning for air 3 tbh just looked very easy to move and often cuz get moved by gusts of wind
I'm going to buy the Air 3 next based on this review...trying to find where to buy the warranty from DJI??? Maybe it's not available thru Amazon? Thats where I buy most of my stuff. I'll keep looking. Thanks again for the video.
when your drone arrives and you register it the first time you turn it on it will prompt you to buy Fly More warranty
What's the wheel base diameter of the dji mavic classic 3 please ??
Thanks 👍
Glen
Awesome Drone Video Derek... How far out were you ????
Q: can you connect FPV to Mavic 3 pro?
I vote for dji air 3 sir these drone is so very amazing when it comes to photography and videography is so fabulous❤❤❤.
Great guide right before the holidays!! ✌️
Hello, guys. Please tell me which drone is best for industrial and real estate filming: Mini 4 Pro, Air 3 or Mavic 3 Classic?
Is the vertical shooting 2.7k on the Air 3 sufficient enough for social media?
I had an Air 2 just sold it. Not sure which one to get out of mini pro 4 and air 3
Please help. Great video
What did you buy ?
@Kkkm872 i went the Air 3, its absolutely brilliant
Air 3 is the sweet spot🔥
very good comparison
I notice you left them any three pro price out of there because they are both the same price as the mini 4 which is ridiculous. so aggravated with DJI for this last lineup
Excellent, tight presentation. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Jeven, well done. Very good review. Thanks!
