It’s understandable. But now DJI is trying to differentiate its drones into 3 categories. Mavic is high end. Air is middle class and Mini is basic class.

Now this is the kind of drone review we all actually want. Not someone harping on about the specs when the dji website already tells us that. Fantastic stuff, thank you!
Dji does a good job sending these to everyone before release but I don’t love how every video seems the exact same. I’m assuming they’re giving a breakdown of what the first video “needs to be” But for whatever reason. This one seems unique. Great video.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good YT’br that really brings out the film maker in an audience - BUT yours does just that. Simple, clean & informative. No showboating 10/10
This was an absolutely stunning video. Great shot skills, and beautiful color. Heck, I wish I could take drone lessons from you. Thanks for a great presentation. Marc T.
Phenomenal job showcasing this hotrod! You gave me some great ideas for shooting. I just got mine, and I haven't been able to put it down or stop making videos lol it's too much fun
And… not a bad experience when you crash one! DJI is pretty damn cool. All in all it was a $85 fix with a 2 week turnaround time. I knocked the gimbal assembly OFF, and thought it would be hundreds of $$$. Not bad by comparison.
Loooooovve the color grading, editing, and sound effect integration. Well done. Selling an Air 2s for this. May let the M3C and Mini 3 Pro go as well if this is that good.
I was planning to upgrade to Mavic 3 Pro from my Air 2 but now DJI Air 3 is a better option for me. We love to see more and more real world videos like these and you don't need to wait for another drone :)
Just curious why is it the better option ? Ordered the air 3 yesterday but i think i would rather had the mavic 3 pro just becaise of the bigger sensor
Sold my mini 1 and ordered this yestersay . Sooo excited to finally get a drone i can work with the photos and film .. the OG mini was great when ir came out but you couldnt Edit the poor image qualtiy at all . Problem is im a fine art portrait photographer and dont know anything about logs framerates etc so now i have to learn how to Edit all over again
Great footage, thanks for sharing. I just recently bought this drone as I lost my Air 2S. How did you find the dynamic range specially shooting bright sunny sky and ground underexposed parts? Would it be better than Air 2S 1 inch sensor?
Mini pro 3 does the same. Also we are looking edited footage with a lots of added audio. In a very scenic areas. Bring it to some normal areas, shoot a video without aftertouch and it doesent look the same.
Я разрываюсь какой дрон выбрать. Либо маки3 про или эир 3. Помоги. И да, в конце этого года или в начале 2025 выходит мавик 8к =) Жду от тебя видео с нового дрона
Is the cam ACRUALLY 24mm or 24mm EQUIVALENT. Because true 24mm would be pretty tight on that sensor, so I have to imagine that it's just the equivalent.
One comment Benn! Leave the SM7B mic a little more bass or low end. Now listening on an Audio Technica studio headphone, it sound a bit like a walkie talkie. There's a lot of high and few low end. But great video!
You say you didn't think the Air 3 would match the standards of having a Mavic 3, but actually this drone is superior in several ways. It performs and maneauvers better, with the same wind resistance while also being slightly more compact, with a better thrust to weight ratio and longer battery/flight time. It also has more antennas and a newer/better transmission system with superior range and penetration, as well as a better RC and more software features. All at half the price. So the Mavic comes out on bottom from all those aspects, while only offering a 7x zoom sensor, and adjustable aperature. The sensor size and MP difference is more of a paper spec. Sound better, but in practice the output results are comparable. The 7x sensor is the worst one and is a small 1/2.3, and the least commonly used. It as well as the 3x sensor are smaller sensors than the 1" main, and have fixed aperatures. As for the adjustable main sensor aperature, its not very useful for photos. Videos, sure, but youre gonna be using an ND filter anyways, so you can do without it being adjuatable. It's also an f/2.8 at the widest, while the Air 3 is f/1.7, meaning that the 1" sensor loses any low light advantage due to being a slower lens than the Air 3 main sensor. If someone is looking for a multi camera drone under 5k, the Air 3 is just the way to go. If you only want a single sensor wide angle drone, and you aren't worried about a bunch of extra features and gimmicks in the software, skip the mini 4 and go for the mavic 3 classic. I think the key drones from DJI that offer great value are the mini 4k, Avata 2, Air 3, and Mavic 3 classic. The mavic 3 pro isnt a BAD drone, not at all. Its an amazing drone, but has bad value in the price for what you get. Especially when it's technically a last gen drone. Its definitely not worth 2x the price of the Air 3, when its pretty similar, and actually falls behind in some ways. If the Mavic 3 Pro was running O4/RC2 (and RC2 Pro available, main sensor opened to f1.8, ascend/descend speed was about 5mph faster, had slightly better performance on the 7x, and could switch sensors while recording, and had SDK support if using RC2 Pro, THEN it would be absolutely worth the cost.
Your work is very Top, Congratulations Success always, I wish you a great week and all the best and stay with God, you and your family. A big hug from Friend Antonio de Águas Belas PE. And from Brazil.
Hey Benn, great vid mate. A couple of questions - how do find the fixed aperture..when changing between the lower-lit spaces in the forest compared to a sunny spot...also could you please let me know what you are using for the Nd filters. cheers + well done again. Dan
hey man! I didn't use ND filters for this trip, and I had to adjust my shutter speed if things were too bright, so getting that cinematic motion blur is a little harder with a fixed aperture. That's one thing I didn't like, fixed aperture is not the best thing.
I currently own the M2P. It's a pretty good drone still, but one big pain is the *ss is the adjustable focus. I can't count how many times I got home and realized that I forgot to adjust the focus and the videos/images came out blurry! Why can't they keep the focus to infinity. For goodness sake, it's a drone, it films landscape. There is no need for manual focus or even adjustable focus. Keep it on infinity or at least AF. I really contemplate selling it and getting a different drone because of it. is the focus on the mavic 3 also adjustable? what about the new Mavic Air 3?
help me out here buddy. i have the mav 3 classic so want to keep that for sure. should i replace this with my air 2s? i wish the photos were 20mp and not 12mp with that fake 48mp bayer, but i have my classic for photos so not a reason to keep the 2s. would you say the 2s is looking dated now this is out? crazy that this smaller sensor is better in low light than the 2s 1inch sensor and even the mini 3 it shares it with. that 70mm is also great to have as never had a two cam drone yet.
I had trouble flying the Mavic 3 pro last year on Taveuni with the international dateline close by. It kept saying i was in Fanafati. Have they fixed the issues??
Love your videos Ben, you are literally one of the best creators out there! But come on… I Love how RUclipsrs that sponsored by DJI all talk so positive and say it’s so light weight… etc 😂 We all know that if you backpack, every ounce or grams matter… this Air3 (720g) is not a lightweight drone anymore, might as well just go for the Mavic 3 classic (895g) and get that Hasselblad quality. My Air2 S is a lightweight drone (if you hike a lot it matters) the frame and weight is much smaller, sensor is 1”, better build quality (more sturdy legs) and you can literally frame the shots in the middle and crop out quality vertical footage from 5.4k 30fps D-log. I don’t see the big upgrade here DJI 💁🏻♂️ mid tele lens? Cool out of 10 shots you will use it maybe once…
Agreed, the Air is no longer lightweight and always increasing in weight each year 😂 (the original Mavic Air was only 420g). The sensor on the Air 3 is actually "downgraded" from 1inch on the Air 2s to 1/1.3 (similar to the Mini 3). If I were you I'd absolutely stick to the Air 3. Can't think of too many situations (apart from shooting wildlife outdoors) where I'd find the 70mm lens useful
Thanks for the all the good info! I have two questions: can you charge the battery directly while plugged into the drone? And can you download footage directly from the drone, without the RC? Hope you can give me some answers, thanks in advance!
Yep you can charge and transfer contents directly from drone to pc using USB-A to type-C cable. Or you can take out the Memory card from the drone and plug it into the pc.
Hi Benn, thank you for the informative video, love the content. I'm thinking of upgrading from my Mini 3 to the Air 3 and was hoping you could help please. What regulatory restrictions are there in Australia (if any) in terms of going from a sub 250 gm drone to this heavier one? I want to make sure I remain compliant. Cheers!
The attention to detail in each frame of your video is astounding. It's like a visual treasure hunt. 🏞📷 I'm also delving into cinematic travel content and I'd be grateful for any insights you can offer!
I said Mavic quite a lot in this video, it's just called DJI Air 3 XD, hope you enjoyed some footage with the Air 3 in FIJI!
How about registration when flying in Fiji? Airport security and stuff?
I used to think my mini 3 pro was in the Mavic lineup, no problem at all brotha!
It’s understandable. But now DJI is trying to differentiate its drones into 3 categories. Mavic is high end. Air is middle class and Mini is basic class.
Dude, your footage was awesome. This is like watching a nature movie. Beautifully composed.

yeah but those "influencers" got this for free and tell that is absolute amazing and must have peace of gear and it`s flawless et etc...same shit
4:22- 4:35 ❤ Honestly that entire sequence was beautiful! Great video!
Dude i love how you set up the vloggy interview shot, the lighting and bokeh is so cool

There are always guidelines to follow with new product launch campaigns, however this one wasn't under contract. Just a bit of fun

Thanks for sharing the great videos, I just got the air 3 and looking forward to flying it.
Great video and beautiful footage. I have to go to FIJI.
Wow🎉 I really love the way you captured everything with that drone. 😍
Nice! Love the intro!
Aside from the good review, those images were magical, thank you for sharing, what an amazing place.
Fantastic for cinematic😊
Got my dji air 3 cant wait to edit the footage.
Really nice shots keep it going bro
comparison vdo between mavic 3 pro and mavic 3 air would be really great.
Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Awesome... Full watched. Thanks Have a happy day!
Hi bro dji air 3 is so amazing with it come photography and videography its was so very fascinating ,Great video i like it👍💫
Need more videos!! Great work
This was an absolutely stunning video. Great shot skills, and beautiful color. Heck, I wish I could take drone lessons from you. Thanks for a great presentation. Marc T.
Simply amazing.
How did you get the D1 store or DJI to send you the mavic 3 pro and mavic air 3 before release for review we are based in Melbourne? 😊
whoa crazy editing
insane footage, ace it man. im going to get this.
Phenomenal job showcasing this hotrod! You gave me some great ideas for shooting. I just got mine, and I haven't been able to put it down or stop making videos lol it's too much fun
Congratulations on the beautiful video. I would like to ask you a question. What do you recommend for sharpness and noise reduction?
Great video mate.
And… not a bad experience when you crash one! DJI is pretty damn cool. All in all it was a $85 fix with a 2 week turnaround time. I knocked the gimbal assembly OFF, and thought it would be hundreds of $$$. Not bad by comparison.
Loooooovve the color grading, editing, and sound effect integration. Well done. Selling an Air 2s for this. May let the M3C and Mini 3 Pro go as well if this is that good.

@@Herkulez1981 because of portability.
@@BoostRelaxation aaa ok , its not that smaller but still it makes a difference esp if you are out Hilking and need all the space you havre
@@Herkulez1981 You are right that little extra weight and bigger size makes difference when you are traveling and hiking a lot.
I’m going to Fiji from america, do I need a license to fly my mini 4?
NEW SUBSCRIBER FROM THE PHILIPPINES and Great video awesome💖💖
Definitely buying one. 👍🏻
Thank you so much for the great review. Do you see substantial image quality loss with Air 3 compare to Mavic 3 Pro?
Sold my mini 1 and ordered this yestersay . Sooo excited to finally get a drone i can work with the photos and film .. the OG mini was great when ir came out but you couldnt Edit the poor image qualtiy at all . Problem is im a fine art portrait photographer and dont know anything about logs framerates etc so now i have to learn how to Edit all over again
Can we assume the shot at 3:15 was masked and blurred to add DOF in post?
bro so good at color tuning
I still use the mavic mini 2 wish to upgrade someday😅
Great video dude, How much post color grading did you put into this? They look really nice.
Great video
wow fist time updating 2 youtube videos in a week benn tk is awesome
Incredible
Real Nice Mate!!
can't wait for the air 3s!
Well how's your Air3s??
Excellent Benn. Thank you.
where to you shooted this video?
Amazing brother 👍
Great footage, thanks for sharing.

i didnt know that i was watching your new channel untill you said it. in a second i just hit the subscribed button.🤣
Mini pro 3 does the same. Also we are looking edited footage with a lots of added audio. In a very scenic areas. Bring it to some normal areas, shoot a video without aftertouch and it doesent look the same.
Can you teach us about color grading like what you did on this footage
👍ótimo
that is so amazing
Excellent footage everyone else just has the specs, all the same, your a film maker well done.
Wow.. ❤🎉
intro very pro
Well done
I like how the sound of nature goes well with your drone footage. I wonder which recorder was used to record the sound.
Я разрываюсь какой дрон выбрать. Либо маки3 про или эир 3. Помоги. И да, в конце этого года или в начале 2025 выходит мавик 8к =) Жду от тебя видео с нового дрона
I am going to Fiji next month did you register for a permit to fly it at the airport?
How do you edit your photos?
It’s so hard for us not call it a Mavic even tho it’s been rebranded just Air 3 but it will always be a Mavic to us hehe😊
Is the cam ACRUALLY 24mm or 24mm EQUIVALENT. Because true 24mm would be pretty tight on that sensor, so I have to imagine that it's just the equivalent.

I want this drone sooooo badly
Wow! hey that is a killer drone. share your settings, and what color grading did you use? well done
really sick!
What editing software are you using? I’ve got Mavic 3 cine, want to invest in a good computer and editing software
Why is it the DJI Air 3 XD? What does the XD mean ?
You say you didn't think the Air 3 would match the standards of having a Mavic 3, but actually this drone is superior in several ways.

I realized I must have been the first one here and was confused who would upload 360P only in 2023....just early I guess!
could you share the gain and expo settings you used for your flights?

hello! you may need to register your drone if it weighs beyond the light weight limits, although I haven't looked this up in a long time

Is this hdr?
I always shoot in the highest quality, so d log m - 4k 60 i think thats HDR
im confused tho as to why this video is on a new channel when your main channel has insta 360 reviews and other similar content?
what about low light performance
I noticed that it has some lagging thing on the footages. It's like jittery
this or mavic 3 pro?
