Jake that was an unbelievable video. Love the new style and review of the air 3 . It’s like one of your old video that you did about about the glacier. The landscape and the way you shot it didn’t even seem like a review more like a movie trailer . Well done 👍

YES, yes you do, I also need to get down there and go out to Moab with you

I'm pretty excited about the Air3. The image quality - even in photo mode - is pretty good for the small sensor. Despite the problems mentioned, I work in 48 megapixel mode, I can correct mostly of the fringing/ca problems. My main criticisms: - no automatic panorama possible with the 70mm lens... - with the 70mm lens you can only take 3 pictures in AEB mode and you cannot choose how much the exposure changes. 5 images would be absolutely necessary, even if saving them takes longer.

If this isn't the best demonstration of how to put together a quality drone review video, then I don't know what is. From the always breathtaking video, the 'short & sweet' tech specs, to the in depth talk of the more important features (and the lack there of), not to mention the excellent story telling approach, Jake you continue to raise the bar and give others like me the inspiration and insight on how to do it right. 💯 Kudos my friend 👏👏

Well done on an incredible video Jake. I have to say though, now I've had my Air 3 for a couple of weeks (having only just got an Air 2S a month prior), I am a little disappointed with the 24mm image quality in comparison to the Air 2S. I knew to expect it being not as good as the Air 2S thanks to yours and FlytPath's comparison videos but now seeing my own footage side by side, it's even more of a significant difference than I was thought (maybe due to KZread compression?). It generally just looks like when you zoom/crop in that bit too much, just at the point where it starts looking noticeably worse. For example my first reaction to seeing the footage I had to double check that I had actually recorded in 4K and that I wasn't digitally zoomed in. The thing is I don't have any complaints about the image quality coming off the 70mm so I thought maybe there is a defect either with the 24m lens, sensor or the autofocus but having watched many more videos I'm pretty sure there isn't any issue with it. Why I can't pick fault with the 70mm I'm not sure because the sensor I believe is identical, maybe it's down to the aperture? I hate to be one of those guys that criticise something which as you've proven here can produce amazing video footage but I can't help but be a little disappointed with it relative to the Air 2S image quality. It's just a shame because it is a brilliant drone and it's better than the Air 2S in every other way, I guess it gives them something to improve on with the Air 3 Pro.

I remember when I started watching your videos. I was still new to creating videos and photos back then. I tried to learn how ND filters work, I watched various videos and there were only comparisons and I didn't know what to pay attention to. When I came across your video, you explained everything to me within a few minutes of the video. I started watching you from then on. You are the only creator who records different videos than everyone else. the area in which you record, the fact that you arrive there by helicopter makes your films better than those of other creators I watch. I would like to make videos like yours one day. And this video is probably the best one you've ever made. If you didn't mention the disadvantages of this drone (of course, it's good that you showed them), you would probably convince me to buy it more than DJI did when presenting it.

Thank you so much Jim, it was a TON of work but well worth it in the end

Superb work Jake and worth the wait! More results driven than spec comparison. Air 3 seems to polarize folks. I've noticed that owners of Mavic 3 Series love it; how it brings many of the Flagship's features into a lighter, agile aircraft at half the cost vs. those who just don't get it. They begged for longer flight times in the Air Series, then unhappy it's heavier than Air 2S. Must have slept through physics class - the weight gain is all battery. With the alloy arms like Mavic 3, the aircraft is likely lighter than Air 2S. Wish someone would weigh the 2 Aircraft 😉 -I don't have a scale. PS An 04, Mini 4 Pro with Waypoints and omnidirectional sensors is about to arrive- for those claiming "DJI doesn't get it" -I beg to differ 😉

With the "Freewell Split ND 4-Pack Filter Kit for Air 3" you promoted in your video, I have a question: I thought the whole idea behind the two lenses in the Air 3 was that they had the same light sensitivity and you didn't need accommodate for that like you have to on the Mavic 3 Pro. So why is it necessary with the 2 cameras on the Air 3? Thanks, Jake!

@JakeSloan

Thanks Chris, it would be great if they did have the same light sensitivity but since the 70mm is 2.8 and the 24 is 1.7 that's a little over a stop of light difference so the split filters are basically a stop difference as well

Great video Jake. DJI always uses photographers who use dark sunglass type filtered images which in my opinion might look good, but not so realistic. If I wanted to see the world in a depressed gloomy way than I would wear sunglasses. However, sunglasses irritate me because I would rather see the world as it is; bright and colorful. You used ND filtering too, but not too much of it. I was stationed at Ft. Wainwright in Alaska so I understand why your using them. Snow is bright. You need to drop the light level to avoid overexposed images. Sir, your exposures look natural and the balance is just right. I remember Alaska like I was there just yesterday. So screw DJI's videographer picks. Your video here was top notch and much better than some of the so called hand selected pro videos. At least that's my opinion anyway. You really captured the Alaskan wilderness perfectly. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
