Mini 3 Pro overheating I believe is simply down to the fact that it doesn’t have a fan built in for active cooling, to keep it under 250gm. It uses the air passing around it/through it during normal flight for this - so when flying you shouldn’t ever run into an type overheating issue - even when hovering. (Bit like some sharks 🦈 (apparently?) gotta keep it moving*).

Thanks Bros. Kai standing in a drone swarm was cool.
Should we be expecting a Air 3s or equivalent? Tempted to by the Air 3 but also at the same time might be worth waiting for a potential upgraded version.
Man, good to see you posting again! Have watched you since i got my old Canon 70D back in the day and lost track for a bit ;) cheers
It took me like 6 years to finally re find your kai. I miss your stuff. last watched you on digital rev when i was studying photography. You were a popular voice speaking out truths in an industry full of bullshit. Cheers for the video
Im in bits LOOl the bmw behind him part hahaha
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it.
We just hold the Mini Pro to take off. Took this thing hiking and fishing in Wyoming. Definitely recommend it for someone that packs already a lot of gear with them!
I won't be changing from my Air 2s until they show the possiblity of a air 3s/pro with 8k and higher 4k frame rates. I think its time to hold tough and not to give into new and shiny when rumors of a Mini 4 isn't far away
Already have the mavic 3 Pro and still love my air 2s, now im looking for a smaller footprint so im getting the mini 3 pro drone only
If you could get the Classic combo + RC for EUR 1.8K or the Air3 combo + RC2 for EUR 1.5K which one would you prefer?
Great comparison. Thanks for the vid 🤙
Is it worth upgrading from a mini 2? Looking for a bigger drone that is better than the mini 2
I’ve been looking for a drone now off and on for a couple of years now. Have still yet to pull the trigger on one. Can you explain why the screens on the controller are placed on the bottom, rather than on the top. It just seems to me that you would lose some of your screen vision because of hand placement.
Kai still going strong. Good job my old entertainer.
OMG ITS KAI When I started my photography journey there you were makin me wanna but a 5D mark ii and now that I wanna drone, look who it is. Amazing
Which is a bigger drone mavic 3 pro or air 3 same size , excluding the camera
You guys are great! Keep it up.
Thanks Kai and Lok. Why don't you hand launch and land?
All the active track experiments I’ve seen the drone is very far away. More interesting would be is tracking within 5-10ft of object. Like can it closely follow an object through something really tight (like a mountain bike through trail).
This just randomly popped up in my news feed. Not even on KZread. On my Android swipe left news feed. And I saw that name of this channel and I was like wait a minute. So of course I had to click in. And now look who it is! The old gang back together again. This is so fun! Plus I am interested in drones so this is pretty cool.
But which one is more effective against a T-54?
Charging batteries with batteries = infinite power! 😄 Good comparison, didn't get confused between them at all.
Great seeing you guys back, good entertainment value but as a review, I didn't get a solid conclusion. I'd appreciate more tracking comparisons (active tracking of humans, for example, checking for tree avoidance) and also for side-by-side comparisons and graded/ungraded and range comparisons.
Fantastic comparison, Kai! This video really helps break down the differences between these DJI models. Your insights and detailed analysis make it much easier to choose the right one for individual needs. Thanks for putting this together! 🚁🎥 #DJIComparison
Very entertaining video. You guys make a good team.
man i like this channel so much :)
Awesome review! Thank you.
I understand the air 3 has 2 "stacked" sensors but they're much smaller, are they as good in low light as the Air 2s was (with the 1-inch sensor)? Yes - the air 3 is faster, more maneuverable, with a longer flight time and better range - but how does the camera really stack up (specifically in low light situations like dawn or dusk)?

Is very good as long as you use DLOG-M with max ISO and make then a denoise with Neat or Topaz. Night Mode is not so good, as is killing many details if is used at close range.
Videos like these bring back emotions
Love the review!
I think if DJI released the Air 3 with the following specs. 1. One inch variable aperture sensor. 2. The ability to change the horizontal and vertical position of the camera (as on mini 3 pro) 3. Air 2S weight and dimensions 4. New remote control, new communication system. In my opinion, this would be the best drone for creativity. What do you think?

@@edward7282 I think the Mavic line will not suffer much, since the mini weighs 249g and I will take it only for this reason. Mavic 3 has a 4/3 sensor, it is designed more for the horizontal 16/9 format. Now, on the contrary, the Air is almost the same as the Mavic 3.
Great job, I can't thank you enough.

I don't think the sensor is stacked. It's using a quad Bayer array (48mp - 12mp) just like the mini 3 pro or the 70mm lens on the mavic 3 pro. They all share the same sensor, but the air 3 will look better than the mini 3 pro because of improvements on the image processing side.

Hey Kai, nice to see you again. I was wondering if you have or could make some tutorials of using the mini 3 pro (or any of the drones you showcased today), like some flying tips with especially the photography part. I am both an amateur drone pilot and photographer, and combining both at the same time can be quite a challenge. To be honest I've been using the auto mode of the video recording but I know I should set it on manual.

Interesting video, it would be even better to see the video quality comparison of these drones in low light, and unfortunately, the Mavic 3 Pro does not work well with the DJI RC, there are many complaints about this, which is strange, since the Mavic 3 original works perfectly fine with DJI RC.

I have the mini3pro so happy I got this one. It's got everything else. The sensors are fine It's been over 90° for the last couple of weeks where I live and it never overheated. That was his fault for not hitting " Don't show again" for auto tracking. Mine works well. Also, the last and most important point is it's 249 g. You don't need a FAA license, you only need to take a test as a hobbyist. This opens you up to many more places/things. Although it does have a remote ID as stipulated by all new drones, I don't understand why because it doesn't need it if it's under the limit. Depending on where you live by your DJI drones now they're already not allowing them in the public sector because they don't trust the Chinese company that makes them!!
Buy DJI mini 3 pro or air 3?????? Pick one for me please!
You could use the 4 build in ventilators to cool that drone down?!?

9:50 BMW driver here, we have to drive like that, because when people see a BMW, we like them to think, "oh here comes a BMW, it is probably going to do some BMW things". So no matter how I drive in my BMW no one gets surprised. Which is great. Actually I should say, it was great because, sadly, especially in US, our name and fame is taken by a newcomer, the utterly entitled Tesla drivers. I've never seen such schmuckery in traffic and I'm saying that as a BMW driver. So now we're trying even harder to get our title back.

The image quality of the Mini 3 pro is a dealbreaker. The missing Tripod mode on the way better Air 2S is one, too. So a Little bit impossible to get a good drone under 1k. The Air 2S has such a great picture quality that it is the best drone of all compared to the price on eBay. Incredible, but this might be the reason DJI isn’t adding 1 m/s to this drone, because with this feature no pro would consider an Air 3, Mavic 3 etc because the video quality of the Air 2S is top notch. But for professional work with the fast cone mode and the short controller sticks, it is not an alternative. So right now, after crashing my air 2S, there is no drone matching all my needs under 1k. Like I said, a tiny firmware update at the Air 2S and this one would beat every other drone, I am sure, that’s why they won’t implement it. Even after Phillip Bloom opened an petition. They only implemented it for the Mini 3 pro.
Please do review on DJI Osmo Action 4 Adventure Combo
Mini 3 Pro is fantastic. But not optical zoom makes it very limited. In retrospect I should I gone for a most expensive model.

Superb review! As always from you guys. One request for the next review: please also compare the image quality while taking photos (since this new drones now take really good 48mp pics this could be interesting to many viewers!). thanks, still considering if I need a new DJI (mavic) or Air in my life. Originally bought the Mavic 2016 when it was the first of it's kind. Still have it and not use it a lot. I guess the remote with integrated bright display is really convenient. I thought the 7x lens is cool - but the quality makes it just be a gimmick. The 4/3rds Hassel would be nice - but the Air3 look more than good enough for half the money.... greets from Austria, Mario

😮I own the Mavic Air 2S (pro work) and the Mavic Mini 3 Pro (IG/KZread). And I fly recklessly on an Air 2(for fun/photography). Im trying to decide between the Air 3 or the Mavic 3 Classic. I enjoy the characteristics of the Air 2S with its better video image quality, control, and speed. Its just an all around great drone. And I love it. I also enjoy the portability of the Mini 3 pro and the vertical filmming. So I carry that one around mostly and use indoors, plus vertical. Only one battery too. Forces me to practice withthe other two. I'm particular to better image quality but I also like the 2nd camera on the new air 3. Gives more versatility in creativity. I guess the question is... the jump in image quality good enough on the Air 3 from the Air 2S (including on the 2nd camera). *The vertical is cool too! OR is the Classic undeniably better looking and the controlable aperture more pro. I feel like unless I'm shooting a funded film, I can get away with the Air 3 footage for anything, including professional work (real estate, short films, etc). Any insights anyone? Feel free to jump in if you own the Classic or Air 3. I love the Mini size, I love the Air size, but realistically the Mavic 3 isn't really that big either. Please help. I'm most likely gonna sell the Air 2. Use the Air 3/Classic for pro work, the mini for IG/KZread, and fly the Air 2S reckless and for photography. Hit me.

The biggest problem is without an adjustable aputure you will have to use ND filters. Ok so what? The two lens are different max aputure. Ok so what? Your exposure will be different when you switch between lens. Ok so what? You will have to either adjust ISO or land and adjust your ND filter. Super annoying.
