@@YTPAJ12 They are on the page where your select your drone kit (as add-on accessories). It's the DJI Air 3 ND Filters Set (ND8/16/32/64) for $99 (USD). US website.
I started the hobby about a couple years ago at the entry level with the Mini 2. I liked it enough and spend enough time in the hobby to invest a little more. It took me a couple, three days of research trying to decide whether the proper update was the Avata, the Mini 3 Pro or the Air 3. I think for what I need it for, balanced against the price, was the Air 3 so I just ordered it, excited to try it out when it gets here (in 8 days)
I don't get enough flight time with it, I've only been able to put it up three times since i got it five months ago. Life stuff has been intervening with free time a lot over the last few months. The things I bought it for (active tracking and waypoints) seem to be worth the upgrade for me during the initial quick looks I took messing around with it. Now I just need to get the time to start knocking out the projects I wanna do with it. @@DinoGooch
I knew there was a new drone coming, and of course, DJI did NOT disappoint!!. Im going to be upgrading my Original Mavic Mini with this drone for more Professional use and for Hobby use. and this dropped JUST IN TIME for me to pick up before my trip to Hawaii this October. Love all of your reviews for EVERY drone you have and hope you keep your content coming. I also hope to one day link up with you and fly my drone along side you for fun and some advice.
You deserve many more likes and suscribers for the excellent job you continually do. This review is so complete. I liked how you explained every single feature of the Air 3, and the footage you used are precise to get a better perspective of the drone. DJI did an amazing job with the energy transferring between batteries in the charging hub.
People are getting put off by the sensor size..every reviewer is not talking about how this is a "stacked" sensor..smaller in size but better in performance..if you know your cameras "stacked" sensors are way better in reading data hence better quality..thanks for mentioning that!..you and two other reviewers are the only ones that actually brought it up..thanks haha
If you have the M3 Pro then you don’t need to downgrade..its not even as small as the air 2s..its slightly tad bit smaller than the M3 pro..why would you downgrade when you have a smaller mini 3 pro?
Aldryn, thank you for your excellent review and test flights on the new DJI Air3🙏. I truly appreciate you reviewing the new Air3 comparing to the other three drone models. Very tempted to pulling the trigger on the new Air3. Again, Thank You for your excellent review🙏🙏.
Congrats on possibly the best review I've seen thus far. You're the only reviewer to note the amazing capabilities of the new charging hub. Being able to draw power from the two lowest batteries into the third battery is mindblowing, and a feature with genuine benefit. Congrats, Aldryn!
Great review, thanks for sharing. Looks really versatile, zoom lens is a great add. Not loving the sensor size downgrade on paper but the 2S's crop may cancel that out
I have been wavering between a Mini Pro 3 and Mavic Classic. With the upgraded RC and other features, the Air 3 was the ultimate winner. I just laid out the cash for the Air 3 Fly More Combo and hope to be flying it by this next weekend. Sure glad I had put off a decision for a few weeks or else I might have ended up buying the wrong drone! 5.1 would be nice but I mostly use my drone footage for entertaining friends and family, not for making professional videos. 4K works more than good enough for that purpose.
My Mavic air 1 broke its imu unit😫 all of the sudden imu,compass, gimbal not working..kept it in pristine condition..its like the imu unit just suddenly expired in the drybox where i kept it🤦🏻♂️
Fantastic review! This is definitely the drone to own right now! Although I can't see it beating out the Mavic 3, this is still a solid purchase! Great job Aldryn!
Nope, wait for the Air3s.. this is the stupid marketing of Dji, almost got me a Mavic 3 classic then Boom! Mavic3 pro came out with all the bells & whistles..
Your presentation always exceeds the product. No umms, ya knows. Keeping the narrative insync with video clips while comparing 3 to 4 DJI dones is remarkable. Carry on.
Do you have any recommendations for a lanyard for this RC controller? I’ve held off buying a drone for 2 years waiting for the Mavic Air 3….excited it’s finally here.
I definitely can't wait to see your comparison videos. I had the Mini 3 Pro previously as well as the Air 2. This one is looking really promising. I'm just wondering if it's worth it to get the Mavic 3 Pro as opposed to this drone.
I’m in the exact same thought process mate. I have been considering the Mavic 3 Pro, but now I’m looking at this one also. The main reason I was thinking of the Pro was that the zoom lens will be ideal for filming surfers / kite surfer which I like to do, and also the wind resistance. I too have the mini 3 pro after originally having the Air 2. I love them both, but hardly flown the Air 2 since I got the mini. I’m into Fpv as well, so fly Avata & iFlight Bob57 often, but for nice cinematic epicness I really like the look of the 3 Pro. I’m just not sure if it’s worth the extra money, as I doubt it’d be good flying using that third lens, so this Air 3 with the 70mm will probably be more than enough.
"Do I need to upgrade?" Well, since my Air 2S just fell out of the sky an hour ago without hitting any (apparent) obstacle, I'm going to have a hard discussion with the Missus... Thanks for your review! Quality work as always.
Great review. Very interested to see how it compares to the Mavic 3 video quality wise. The USBC battery charging is a massive upgrade - im used to lugging around my in car plug adapter and charger for my Mav 2
Maaaaannn you might have just sold me on this. I am happy with my Mavic Pro 2 but some of these new features got me thinking twice about content creation with this thing!
This is a great video! One question I have - is the 48mp camera actually better than the 20mp camera on the air2s? isnt it just a 12mp camera but stitches 4x photos together ? Thanks
I’d imagine the air2s will take better still photos , that’s the one spot I believe the air 3 will fall short. Which is a big deal to some. I could be wrong but that’s my conclusion so far based off what I’ve seen.
Great review video... I was leaning toward the Mavic 3 Pro but now it seems the DJI AIR 3 is the better choice for my purposes. My only concern is dealing with windy conditions. I know the Mavic 3 Pro can manage wind with no problem so how with the DJI AIR 3 deal with the wind? Maybe you will touch on that in a future video??? (Again, great video! Always appreciate your input and detailed analysis!)
15:09 OMG, I am glad that they added that feature because when I had the mini, I used to make it up by myself by putting the battery with the most power in the drone and then charging the drone from the other two from the hub😂
Great review. Within 5 minutes of watching, I placed my order for the Fly more kit. I lost my Mini Pro 3 yesterday, RTH did not work, and RC lost connection, so this was fate in being released today. I'd would of liked to see more of the Eagle swooping at the drone 😅
@@salvadorcastaneda1971 Hopefully, yes. It's in the warranty period and providing the fly log shows that it wasn't my fault, they will replace it. I had a failure with the Mavic Pro years ago and they replaced that too.
You've had the Air 3 for at least a month covering the flower fields and Del Mar fair. Thought I wouldn't need duel lens but now it makes more sense. Would've liked it to have the sensor of the Air 2s though.
Nice review! It's funny though how this is packaged differently in different countries. Where I am in Europe, ND filters are not included in the Flymore Combo. They were with the Air 2S, but now only sold as separate accessory
Planning to buy mini 3 pro only, and with 47m plus battery. And here you go Air 3. Sometimes waiting is good decisions, but white hair above my head keep growing 😅 😅
I had a lot of problems with hawks going after my A2S while in West Africa last year, so I am very interested in knowing the outcome of the egal drone encounter. great vid. 👌🏿
Nice video, thanks for sharing your opinion... My Air 3 Fly More is on its way, should be here on 14th August. While the delivery approaches I’m getting more and more confused. I mainly shot aerials and less videos, but I’m interested in 70mm for the parallax effect, moreover the Air 3 comes with a better RC, I was pretty disappointed with the feeling of the first RC with the Mini 3 Pro. What would you do? Will you return the A3 in order to swap it with M3C? I’m afraid about dropping the second focal length, but on the other hand I’ll improve by a lot video and photo quality… please help me picking one, leaving money aside. I feel that buying M3C will be like buying “old tech” for OS3+ and Old RC.
Hi Aldryn. Great review again. I’ve searched around and cannot find the answer and no good photos or specs on the new RC-N2 controller. I’m curious since the Air 3 specs indicate it can pan does the RC-N2 controller have the second jug wheel to pan left or right ? You did not show the top of it or mention whether it did or not. I use an iPad 11 Pro so I don’t want a smaller built in screen controller. No comparison when it comes to screen size in my opinion. Thanks.
Is this the first time that they can do active track as well as 4k 60fps? Does it also work with active track, 4k 60fps and HDR? This is what will finally get me to buy this and actually KEEP it and not sell it in 5 months.
I have a question about the waypoints. Can they be used in photo mode? Say I want to take a snowy panarama in winter and the come back and get the same panarama in spring or summer? That would be cool. Thanks.
Purchase the DJI Air 3 here: geni.us/gUbHW
*Note: ND Filter do not come in the Fly More Combo. That was my mistake.
So where can we get the filters? I don't see them on the website here in Thailand nor in the US. Any links? Thanks for the video, very informative.

Absolutely captivating review! The DJI AIR 3 seems to bring an incredible balance of features and performance.
Great review. Really enjoyed watching this. Think it's time to upgrade from a Mini 1 to an Air 3!
Best review of the Air 3 so far. Well done Aldryn!
Great review! 💙
Looking forward for side by side comparison between DJI Air 2S vs. DJI Air 3. 👌
Stay tuned.
I’m assuming the new pro remote will work with this?
Fantastic review! This is definitely the drone to own right now! Although I can't see it beating out the Mavic 3, this is still a solid purchase! Great job Aldryn!
If you already have the Mavic 3, you're good to go. The main difference would be the 70mm option.
Wow that battery energy transfer thing is so helpful!
it really is one of those "so simple, why didn't anyone else think of that?" ideas :)
DJI are so ahead of the competition it's not even funny o.O
As always dji never fails to deliver! I guess it's time to upgrade my air 2s😅!
Nope, wait for the Air3s.. this is the stupid marketing of Dji, almost got me a Mavic 3 classic then Boom! Mavic3 pro came out with all the bells & whistles..

No, don't rush! The sensor has become smaller, the picture will be comparable to the Mavic mini 3 pro.
