So far the best, most direct and most detailed video comparison I've seen on YT. I've had my Air 2S for about one-and-a-half years and the Air 3 looks tempting. Advanced active-tracking, way-points, vertical framing, 360 obstacle avoidance, and the double camera are all important upgrades from my perspective. Thank you for comparing the noise levels. I'm pleasantly surprised the noise levels compare favorably. Thanks for sharing.
Good comparison of these drones. The new Air 3 is one of my favorite drones, but the older Air 2s still has plenty of life in it. The 3x tele lens is the killer feature on the new Air 3. Thanks for sharing.
This is a really fantastic video, thank you! I have a second-hand Air2s that I picked up earlier in the year and impressed with the improvement in image from my original Air 2. I would love the Air 3 for the obvious reasons you give but currently can’t afford it. The battery life is the downside I’m finding…. All the best and well done on your quality work, sir! Nick 👊
Hi, good comparison, thank you. One huge advantage of the Air 2s is that it has an SDK that lets the Air 2s do mapping applications using apps like Map Pilot Pro.
Great comparison, I loved it. About the Air 3 sensor, each of 12 MP is not divided into 4 to produce 48 MP photos, this is the other way. 4 pixels (photosites actually) are used to produce 1 pixel (48/4=12). And yes the dynamic range is crazy, thanks to stacked design.
never judge the sensor on the air 3 because the air 3 has a stack sensor rather than the air 2s has back illuminated sensor so the air 3 has better low light than air 2s
I feel like this was a bit unfair. The Air 3 was designed and improved upon the Air 2S's shortcomings. Nevertheless, a very well put together, very informative video. Thanks!
@@peacefulthrillseeker No, DJI has in the answer to an questions from a user in the official help center, said that this ist a mistake from DJI. When they introduced the Air2S they don't know the differences between D-Log and D-Log m
@@Dronfotographer I just tested it out now and they did change it to DLOG-M terrible how it looks now. I said it for a while that DJI screwed up when they made the Air2s because it looked better than the original Mavic 3 which came out six months after the Air2s. So this is their way of dumbing down their mistake and they wont make that mistake again with the Air3S and upcoming Mavic 4. We need more competition because DJI is becoming the Apple of drones.
@@Dronfotographer now if you don’t believe me then answer me this, why Didn’t DJI give the Air 3 a smaller more “advanced” sensor? That same sensor is offered in a one inch version on many Sony Cameras I checked. Im telling you DJI is not stupid and will make sure the Mavic line will always be superior to the rest of the lineup. Matter of fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if they phased out the Air line in favor of the Minis in the future
Air 3 video far superior to air 2s. Photos can go either way depending. Does everything the mini 4 does whilst not blowing away. Better battery, faster, more stable. You should try flying the air 3 and mini pro 4 the same day and revisit your comment.

Waypoints is available on Air 2S @7:25
only for hyperlapse though.... he's talking about other recording modes as well
This is how a comparison video should be!! Perfect!
I watch your videos from France, they are very useful, because you go into detail and you don't just read the product sheet, keep it up
Thanks! I always try to give some actual value, and not just repeat what everyone else has already said. 😅
air 2s owner here but planning to buy air 3 this kind of content really help me out. thanks a lot
Excellent comparison! I have tem both and often I am torn beteen which one to fly!
Thanks! I definitely still fly both!
Love you videos. Direct and straight to the point. Keep up the awesome work. 😊
Thanks!! That's my goal!!

Thanks! The A2S definitely is still a great drone. But I'd have to agree, the 3X lens won me over.

Loved this review! Found it very helpful!
Very comprehensive review. Nice job!
Hi, good comparison, thank you. One huge advantage of the Air 2s is that it has an SDK that lets the Air 2s do mapping applications using apps like Map Pilot Pro.
Thanks! Great point!!! That really makes a difference if you do mapping type operations. For that the Air 2S is totally sufficient.
I couldn't ask for a better side by side comparison. That helps narrow my choice to the Air 3. Thanks.
did you grade your test shots or just straight out of camera?
How did u do this footage in time 0:54????
Magic 😎 JK, there’s a short on my channel that shows how I did it. Basically a fancy camera rig

Good, point it probably does make more sense to explain it that way!
Great review! Thanks!
Excellent review with great presentation skills. Thank you.
Is dji air 3 propeller can be use in dji air 2s.
Nope. Different props
Great video! Think I’ll wait and see what the 3S / 4 is going to offer, not sold on the 3
Yep I’ve got the air 3 coming from the 2s and the air 3 kills it everywhere. Upsets some people but it’s true
For sure! I mean, I would be upset if the new drone didn't kill it in at least a majority of areas!
Omg dude you are other lvl filmaker 🎉
Thanks man!
Clean and very useful! Good job!
Thanks!!
Perfect review!
Thanks!
Great insights
Just returned my mini 4 pro to get an Air 3. Im excited for it to come in
Any news of the Air3?
Great comparison..I have both and i agree on all your comparisons.
Well done..You came up in my feed. Liked what i saw so i subscribed.
Keep Doing the good work
Nailed it! Thanks!
Great Video......
Do you want to sell your Air 2s drone
2s have bigger sensor only on the papers...
what paper
I'd add one unique feature of the Air 3 is you can turn off the bottom sensors which can be ideal in some situations. 2s doesn't have that.
Yep, great point! That feature actually didn't exist when I made this video haha.
@@flyingfilmmakergood to know. Always drove me crazy with my Air2. Part of the reason I recently upgraded
never judge the sensor on the air 3 because the air 3 has a stack sensor rather than the air 2s has back illuminated sensor so the air 3 has better low light than air 2s
100% agree!! The A3's sensor is quite incredible!!
Take this with a grain of salt but this sounds like an Air 3 promotion video. The Air 2S still rocks.
Definitely not a A3 promotion video! I love my Air 2S but the Air 3 just does some things better. 🤷♂️
I own both and love my Air 2S as well, but the Air 3 does that many things better. It is what it is.
Air 3 🔥❤️
I feel like this was a bit unfair. The Air 3 was designed and improved upon the Air 2S's shortcomings. Nevertheless, a very well put together, very informative video. Thanks!
Great production quality, but not sold by the air 3 camera specs.
Thanks! No need to be sold on the Air 3, haha. I personally like it quite well but it does have some downsides!
For video air2s best!!
You forget that Air 3 has C1 label 😁. I just got my Air 3 yesterday.
So does the Air 2s at the end of January
@@marc8136 yes. Good news.
Nice presentation air 3 is won
Air2S has DLOG not DLOG-M
No, Air2S hast D-Log m.
@@Dronfotographer you can literally shoot in 5.4K DLOG which I have done many times. The resolution 5.4k by itself doesn’t support DLOGM only DLOG

For photographers like me, Air 2s is the winner because of sensor. For filmmakers - Air 3.
But both are worse than Mavic 3 classic.
Now compare PS4 vs PS5! Let´s see!
😍😍👍
Air 2s does have waypoints thou.....
Only in Hyperlapse mode AFAIK
Being smaller and lighter is not a good thing im sick of small drones go try to do a range test or fly in the winter...u wont go over a mile
Air 2S isn't that much smaller. I've flown both in winter and they'll go over a mile no problem!
Air3 is rubish exept 3x lense mini 4 pro is much better.and all your compares was wrong because air2s quality is absolutely better.
Air 3 video far superior to air 2s. Photos can go either way depending. Does everything the mini 4 does whilst not blowing away. Better battery, faster, more stable.
You should try flying the air 3 and mini pro 4 the same day and revisit your comment.
Dji air2 is so bad
You forget that Air 3 has C1 label 😁. I just got my Air 3 yesterday.
Good point!! I ended up getting a Mini 3 Pro when I went to Europe last year because the Air 2S was missing that and wasn't under 249g
