      I was thinking about getting the 3pro trying to decide between that and the A3. I've been told to go for Air. Being that you brought it up what are your thoughts between the two? Does the m3p give much more advantages to make it worth the price? Thoughts on photo and video quality between them. Thanks

    The mini 4 pro has two battery options. The standard battery is 2590 mAh (which makes the drone under 250 grams) is in the general flymore kit... the PLUS version has bigger batteries of 3840 mAh (which make it 255 grams) is in the flymore plus kit. When buying, you have to look/confirm what batteries your kit comes with, especially if it is critical for your drone to be under 250 grams. I have the PLUS version and get 32 minutes flight time as long as not too windy. If windy, I get about 25 minutes. The best I have gotten out of my Air 3 is 34 minutes. Remember if you charge the night before you leave, having the batteries in the charging dock, the batteries may discharge to 96% (for battery preservation) so you may end up setting off the next day at not full battery. So, leave charger plugged in until you walk out the door the day of the flight, or have a charge port in the car on the way to the flying destination.

      It could be useful to have both. The larger batteries for flights away from people and buildings but a longer flight time and the smaller batteries for when you need the drone to be under 250 g.

    I have both the Mini 4 Pro and the Air 3. I fully agree with you … in terms of flying experience I very much prefer the Air 3. That extra power and stability give me a lot more confidence. The Air 3 is the drone I am flying more than the Mini 4 Pro. I find that I only fly the Mini 4 Pro when I travel to countries where the registration process too difficult. 😊

    • @conorstewart2214

      This is similar to what I am thinking. I have a small 2.5” FPV drone but for photography, inspections, exploration, etc, it just isn’t that great. It is so much easier to get certain shots with a stabilised drone with a gimbal.
      It would also be much easier to find work with a stabilised drone with a gimbal than an FPV drone, they don’t really have much use outside of filming and even then the shots are quite limited.

    Great video perfect timing thanks! this was the one I wanted to see as I was stuck on which one to buy, and you have decided for me, I have just completed my A2 Examination as well, which will be great to use the Air3 as was looking at the Mini 4 Pro as can be used anywhere but my problem I live on the coast wind will effect me more and the Mini 4 Pro think will struggle. I will buy the Air 3 for the open flying but also get the Mini 3 Pro as well for any build up areas where I cannot fly the Air 3 within 50M of people and buildings in the UK

  • @kenramsey2304
    @kenramsey2304 5 месяцев назад

    Thank you for taking your time to share your real world comparison.
    After much intensive research comparing the same two drones I recently, November 25th, purchased the Air 3 fly more combo as my first drone purchase.
    I totally agree with your assessment of the power, stability, long flight times and great creative photo and video capabilities of the Air 3 using the two cameras.
    I also feel that the build structure of the Air 3 is better.
    I also feel that when I use the 70mm camera it gives me a quieter less intrusive flight experience because of the greater distance the Air 3 can be from its intended subject when flying in more crowded public areas. It is somewhat noisier when taking off but I try to launch and land far away from others in order to avoid interfering in their activities.
    It will take me a long, but very enjoyable, time to use all of the features of the Air 3 but I feel like it definitely gives me more room to develop and grow as a drone pilot and enthusiast.
    In the past I really enjoyed 35mm camera photography and I am already amazed by what I can do with this flying camera and 35 - 40 minutes of photo and video time available with each battery.
    I live near a coastal area and the winds would be an issue for a smaller drone.
    Than you again.😎

    pretty well done overview about these two goodies 😊👍🏼
    i own the Mini 3 Pro (which i feel to be pretty similar to the M4P, ignoring the missing side sensors😉) and the Air 3,
    and guess what => 38 of my 43 hours air time last year have been on the Air 3 !
    as i nearly never shoot in vertical, allways carry em in a bag (with all the batteries, filters, controller and other small equipment parts), DON´T wanna fly without knowing the rules (highly recommend EVERYONE to get the A1/A3 for nearly no costs at all), and fly in windy conditions too, the Air 3 is my No.1 ...
    the 3x camera, air time and (air/wind) stability are the points of choice on my side
    ... by the way, there's one more very important point for me => as i allways fly in VLOS (Visible Line Of Sight), i can fly round about 170m vs 120m away, still seeing the drone and it's reaction to the sticks ... i twice had a crashed video signal on the M3P (older firmware, one year ago) in an area with many trees, regulated air spaces around and no chance to bring it back with the RTH button ... luckily only 40-60m away, so i could get it back with eyesight only ...

    I started flying drones a few years back buying a mini 2.December 2022 i’ve bought the air 2s because i wanted better quality photo’s and bigger files to work with.2 weeks back i’ve upgraded the mini 2 to the mini 4 pro fly more combo with smartcontroller.For me the combination mp4 and the air 2s works really well.Imo the air 2s is still a better drone compared to the newer air 3 due to the bigger sensor.I wouldn’t trade the air 2s for the air 3 because it still provides me with awesome picture quality.I wish i could have all the features from the mp4 on the air 2s,that would be amazing.The mp4 is really impressive for such a small drone.I was almost was shocked the first time i launched the mp4.It’s so incredible quiet compared to the air 2s (even the mini 2 is louder)…a few meters up in the air and you can’t hear the drone anymore.Waypoint missions,cruisecontrol,vertical shooting,smart return to home option and the ar system are very impressive .Well done Dji…gotta love them for that 🛸😎👍🏻Whatever of both drones in this video you choose…you can’t go wrong with Dji !

    I've got both as I decided productivity is paramount if you want to get the job done everytime. If you go out flying for a day, you really have the choice to max out and work across a range of situations. Start with both fully charged then charge on the go whichever you use first. Just comes down to how much stamina you've got to keep concentrating and capturing. Also if one drone is out of action you can still fly and create. Great video as always and what inspired me to aim to be a pro level drone pilot.

    @geofflittler2035 5 месяцев назад

    Fantastic warts n all comparison of both excellent drones. I had fhe Mini 3 Pro and before upgrading to my Air 3 I did actually try the Mini 4 Pro. It might be worth noting that you can actually fly the Air 3 a lot further than the Mini 4 Pro legally, maintaing VLOS (visual line of sight) as it has a more pronounced profile and is far easier to keep in view. We should of course never lose VLOS as we all owe it to ourselves and each other to fly within the appropriate laws for our relative countries. If we do not then we just make things more difficult for everybody else as the CAA and or FAA then just impose even stricter restrictions on everybody.

    MY GUT INSTINCT IS TELLING TO TO WAIT FOR THE AIR 3s/3pro/4. But it actually makes tones of sense to buy both of these drones you’ve shown. The best drones out there today! It seems that having the 2 smaller (mini/air) gives more filming opportunities than having 1 mavic 3 drone.

    I am looking at both of them really hard. I am in the USA. I am leaning towards the mini 4 pro. Only because if you get the regular battery’s you don’t need to register it and it won’t activate remote Id. I am digging the air 3 but I like my privacy register isn’t that big of a deal but I am not a fan of anyone with a smartphone knowing my location and info. It would be one thing if it was just authorities but it’s not once it goes active.

    While the RC2 controller certainly has its advantages, recommending it to everyone may not be serving all users well. The screen is relatively small, and absent a bigger display with HDMI input, there is no practical way to use a larger device for display with the RC2. But with the RC-N2, you can use a large tablet if you wish, and even mirror directly to large TVs or other devices. Also, since the RC2 is unlikely in the extreme to ever support third party apps, RC2 users will most likely not be able to run any of these (e.g. Litchi, Dronelink, etc.) when MSDK support for the Mini 4 Pro arrives, which DJI says should be in a matter of months. These are all considerations worth noting when deciding between the RC2 and the RC-N2.

    I started with the mini 2 SE and was about to upgrade to the Mini 4 pro, but then decided to go with the AIR 3… seemed to be the best of both worlds. Hope it was the right decision.

    Hey Darren great revieuw
    about the MP4 is a great drone to do almost everything you want but i have now the air 3 for a few months and its wins /extra lens /longer flight and last beter against the wind and in Holland there is alway's a lot of wind
    and we can fly at the same restrictions as the m4p so that also a win win
    but overal they are 2 great drones

    Very nice review and channel overall. I think the Mini 4 has the advantage when you want FPV, the smaller size allows for tighter indoor and fly through shots.

    I have a Mini 2 which I love but I live near Chicago which is known as the Windy City for a reason. My Mini sometimes has problems with the wind. So even though the Mini 4 Pro looks like a great option I’m going to go with an Air 3 mainly because of the weight.

    @Abb0nz1 5 месяцев назад +2

    Great video. Must admit I thought you glossed over some of the Air3 advantages a little but as I'm an Air3 owner I might be a little biased 😊
    Something I thought should have been mentioned is that to get the better flight time the Mini 4 needs the bigger battery which puts it over the 250gm threshold.

    • @ChuckD05

    I have a DJI Mini 4 pro and love it to bits. I am now saving for a new bigger more powerful drone, another DJI because I trust the brand. We'll see what they got when I got the ca$h, Mavick or Air3 ? Wouldn't it be nice to not have to save and to be able to just buy what you want when you want it

  • @adamwharmby4864
    @adamwharmby4864 5 месяцев назад +1

    Having the M3P I'd look at the air 3 mainly just for the better wind resistance doing a lot of hiking n mountain biking for me it would a big difference where I can fly it I love my M3P for its light weight compact usability but on those windy days I think against using it

    • @maddogtank8425
      @maddogtank8425 5 месяцев назад

      I've been out on some pretty windy days. I live up in the mountain. By the way, so the wind is quite a radic and heavy here when it does get up. And I have had no problems with my mp4 I'm not gonna lie to you. I have taken it up in twelve m/s Winds and I've had no problem. It gets a little bit unstable just barely, but it's still fully controllible. The wind resistance is only listed as The wind resistance is only listed 2 ms Difference anyway
      Honestly I think the only thing that makes the air even remotely worth thinking about.
      Is the 3X. Magnification, but I don't think that something that most people can just have a $500 price up for I've also found that the low light performance of the Mini is better as the obstacle avoidance sensors with the air have attended seat to turn off in low light environments Before the Mini does that's probably due to it being a larger drone and.
      Having the sensors more space depart but I couldn't tell you one hundred percent why

    I live in the uk and currently have a air 2 and fly in under article 16, I keep thinking of doing my a2cofc but don’t know if it’s worth it because how long is it going to be valid for if the caa scrap it. So I am thinking of getting a m4p. But I’m having issues with the price, even second hand they are expensive.

  • @SeriousSchitt
    @SeriousSchitt 2 месяца назад

    Thanks for your video comparison, I've really enjoyed your time and effort.
    Interestingly, however, what you class as a disadvantage, I consider a huge plus, and that is the lack of vertical photo support. Vertical photo/videos fly in the face of everything I stand for, why anyone would go out and buy a 40, 50, or even 60" TV set and then want to watch a video one third the width, sitting in the middle of the screen beats the hell out of me, to me that's just plain nuts.
    One question, can I ride my bike through a heavily forested track and have it follow me without smashing into the trees? I saw a clip of it randomly flying through the trees but it wasn't following anyone.

    Excellent presentation Darren. I'm loving the Mini 4 Pro, but the batteries are absolutely shocking. No wind, 15 to 18 minutes max, not going bonkers using features. I bought two extra, enough for me. Rules and regulations wise, and I can fly practically everywhere, also for travelling, the mini 4 for me. 👍

      I'm currently shopping for one too. I'm pretty set on the Air 3. I got my first drone around Xmas (Mini 3) and it broke, so I returned it. I'm torn between RC2 and RC-N2. I don't mind carrying a spare phone, but am worried about it getting hot and dim. Which controller did you get?

      @jesus194566 4 месяца назад

      ⁠@@richardnavratil9661in my experience the Rc2 battery doesn’t last long.

And if you have latest flagship phone , the screen is bigger than the RC2

    As a documentary cameraman I went with the Mini 4 Pro, mainly because of its size. Aerial footage is mostly used for establishing a new location and must be shot fast. Battery lasts long enough for those purposes. The second big plus for the Mini 4 Pro is, I can legally fly over roofs, people and even in some parts of the inner city of Vienna. That said, the decision which drone is best completely depends on the needs and tasks of the customer.

  • @gregsnell

  • @SkyDomeVIZE

    I own the original DJI Mavic air and I still use it a lot.
    Cons for travel are the
    - carrying battery charger
    - WiFi tech / range
    Wish DJI make the air 4 smaller to the original air, but with the restrictions anything over 250 grams I would think it does not matter no longer.

    I think you can easily make a case for BOTH of them. Yes, there is significant overlap in capabilities, but also offers a host of capabilities and advantages you can't find in the other.

    • @chuckschillingvideos
      @chuckschillingvideos 4 месяца назад

      For example, let's just say you've been hired to shoot an outdoor wedding. Which one would you take? I'd take the Mini 4 hands down. But if someone hired me for landscape shots in Alaska, I'd sure as hell be taking the Air 3 each and every time without a moment's thought.

    I have the air 3 and the mini 3 pro and they are both fantastic but as you say wind is a big issue and the mini 3 pro hardly gets flown right now. I would have upgraded to the mini 4 if I didn’t have to buy yet another controller but right now I’ll not bother… just of interest the mini 4 is cheaper than the mini 3 on DJIs website

    Thank you for this video. The best I have seen yet! With that said, I am still torn. I am an avid photographer, Nikon 850. Live in the US Rocky Mountain area. Always exploring beautiful backcountry and mountain adventures. I appreciate quality! My son has a Mavic 2.We have had smooch fun creating vidoes.
    I've been researching drones for a year now and, I am ready to purchase. What I love about the Mini 4 pro is the size. Fabulous for hiking and backpacking. My concern is that I want the best quality videos. I don't want to get wrapped up in the small size and no need for the license which is nice when we travel to Canada. Still torn between the two.
