Yes, same here - giving up 20mpx on the Air 2S for 12 on the Air 3 is a deal breaker for me. The emphasis is obviously on video. Its hard to believe they have not updated the AEB options for years, though it should be the simplest of software changes. Would love to have the 70mm option,

Right to the point, covered all the bases, and enjoyable to watch! Great comparison.

photos from the air 3 air really 12 mp. the 48mp have a lot of purple fringing etc

Great presentation.

Thank you!

Very good. To the point. Informative. Thanks.

very well review ! THX for those info !!

Great comparison of this 2 drones - there are not as much videos out there - almost compare with air 2 :( - so thanks a lot for your work 👍

hey! do you know if the mavic 3 pro will have height restrictions like the mini 4 pro from the 1st of january if you buy it after then?

Hi what do you think about the air 3 if you want to print your shot ? What about the quality ? Tanks 😁

So Air 3 has dual gain output?

I use mine professionally & opted for the Mini 3 Pro this generation after having Mavic Pro 2 and P4P previously and while the Mini has been perfectly suitable for my needs & frankly amazing (and you get harassed far less with the smaller quieter drones) I had been contemplating the jump to the Mavic 3 Pro mainly for the tele lens, but also a bit more stability and things like waypoints. The Air 3 is such a great fit for creators like me. The quality is more than enough, having the tele is super handy and it's rock solid. I used it in 50+kph winds and it's perfectly stable (while the treetops are swaying around like crazy)

No one else got the “Get to the choppa” reference? Lol

I mentioned the 70mm cameras are the same. After reading the specs, I don’t think they are. The air 3’s 70mm can be up to 100fps while mavic 3 pro’s 70mm is only up to 60 fps. I suspect the mavic 3 pro is still using a non stacked sensor CMOS

Could also be processing, no one knows. I had both drones and can‘t tell a difference between the 70mms.

It’s probably worth the price, but as a recreational pilot who doesn’t make any money from my drone I can’t justify the price. 1500 for my Air 3 was all I could afford. Maybe if I hit the lottery.

Fantastic video as always - but some timestamps would be much appreciated!

Deine Videoqualität ist wirklich sehr sehr krass,

Hi, I’m a subscriber and donate to your channel. I have a question regarding drone usage. I often use drones to supplement my videos as you do but I feel as if I am invading the privacy of the place I am filming. That said, what is your approach to this? Do you get permission beforehand? Or, do you never drone where there are people? I’d like to know. I live in rural France and even out here people do not like drones anywhere near them. So, I’m interested in your response. Best to you.

I just fly. I never film people in their garden or when they do anything that might invade their privacy (if it should ever happen on accident, I‘d delete the footage immediately). But as I usually fly in the nature, I don’t worry about it at all. Europeans seem the be quite weird when it comes to that. So it’s their problem when they don’t like it, not mine. They can call the cops, I have my registration etc. Here in Asia it’s a lot more relaxed luckily.

I use my drone as you do, to cover interesting natural scenes from the air. Here in France, there are a lot of Château‘s and beautiful gardens, and I often use my drone to film those. Most people have an interest in what I’m doing though they seem nervous. OOPSIE!!! It’s a bit of a quagmire in that all those people love the footage of the drone. Yet, they don’t want to be near it.

Or you can get the mavic 3E battery kit which has a 100W charging hub, 3 total batteries, and USB-c to USB-c cable. Going that route is cheaper as the battery kit is 659 USD and you already have 1 battery in your M3Pro so total you would have 4 batteries

So... stacked sensors never have higher dynamic range as their SNR is worse than a BSI sensor. You faster readout, but that's it, you wont get better dynamic range or low light. Ever.

@pascalbasel

3 ай бұрын

That depends. Faster readout means they can read higher bitrates in the same time and extract more dynamic range out of it. That’s why the X-H2S has slightly better dynamic range as a7Siii for example, despite being apsc.

@@pascalbasel - No, faster read outs mean the read from the top of the sensor to the bottom is faster so you get less rolling shutter. A global shutter has a full sensor readout for example, and yet again, takes another hit to dynamic range and low light. That's why CCD sensors were superior to CMOS. Compare a Nikon Z7 II with a BSI 45.7mp sensor vs Nikon Z8 II with a BSI Stacked 45.7mp sensor and you'll see even though they're the same resolution, the Z7 II out shines the Z8 in dynamic range and low light.

There is no benefit in dynamic range or low light, rather they take a small hit. I point you to DXOMark or PhotonstoPhotos, learn about stacked sensors, what stacked sensors do/mean. I think you are mistaken. Read how the wiring, photodiodes, and filters affect a sensors dynamic range, low light capabilities.
