I agree. I just upgraded from a DJI mini to a Mavic 3 Classic a few months and it feels like it’s already outdated with all the newer drones coming out. I hate that I was only able to enjoy it and have the feeling of having something brand new before the Mavic 3 pro came out

I just purchased the Air 3. I'm upgrading from the Mini 3 Pro. I can't wait to learn this drone and see what it can do. Thanks for the great videos, please continue to post them.

Love your enthusiasm and it's contagious. Mine is getting delivered Tuesday. Looking forward to more Air 3 videos!

Excellent video and thanks for comparing the past models too! Thanks for your work, Billy!

Thanks man! There are so many videos about the Air 3, but honestly I only need to watch yours because it covers everything 😂

Always enjoy your reviews billy. Thanks for the premium content brother. The Air 3 looks incredible.

Great review Billy! Would love to see more about the waypoint feature - might be what gets me to upgrade.👏

if it's anything like the waypoints on my Mavic 3 Pro, you'll absolutely love it. easy to setup, great control parameters, and lets me get some nice sequences.

Thanks for the info, Billy 👍 I just ordered it 👍 I will be looking for more videos on Air 3 that you may make. Hats off to DJI

This video was pure pleasure to watch. I dont think there's a better Drone channel on KZread.

incredible footage (loved the lightning bolt!) and excellent info as always. This more than helped me make my decision, thank you.

Great video! Answered all of my questions.

As always, brother, awesome breakdown of this amazing drone. I settled for the Mavic 3 Pro, but the Air 3 is a solid winner. Thanks for all you do for the drone community. 👍🏾

I've placed my order but wanted you to know your channel was the first i had to stop at for a review. Thorough and extensive i appreciate that Billy Go Deeper into this drone.This is a consumer style drone and i'm sure many will be sold and will need to know what all these features can do.

lots of details , thank you !!!

The new Air 3 looks great, it’s packed with almost all the features we could want. DJI has really knocked it out of the park again with this new drone. Great review Billy, and was that one clip of the Wildwood Wawa?

Damn Billy, you really captured some amazing shots! I'm watching on a 4K 32-inch curved monitor, and it looks amazing! Thank you! Oh yeah, ordered a fly more from DJI. 🙂

absolutely gotta have it... in so many ways, but most of all for the transmission connection. Thanks Billy.

This video is soo good. Great shots and explanation. Good weight between video shots and shots of the drone it’s self. Love this drone.

The results with this drone always look amazing

Thanks Billy, I really appreciate this review especially with the sample files as I wasn't sure about photo quality, the ones I downloaded look great and the resolution is awesome

Finally made my decision. Ordered this drone based on your video - thanks

Your review was the best I've seen. Fantastic. With the new Firmware update this drone has to be the best out there. I love mine. It's a beast that takes wonderful pictures and videos.

Well done Billy. The video is outstanding as well as the range. DJI sure did their homework on this one !

Why the heck isnt there a double like button. Awesome review with tonnes of useful insight and experience based thoughts. Highly appreciated and well done for the method of reviewing.

The way you showcase the ENTIRE Air line has me thinking that the Air 3 is frontrunner for "glow-up of the year." Your breakdown of the flight characteristics was cool, this thing is zippy and seems to handle like a sports car to the Mavic 3's muscle car. I'm stoked about this drone and your video (as per usual) has got me even more hyped!

Awesome video. I really would love to see a full In-depth video on waypoints. Also I agree with you on having the same sensor size between the 2 focal lengths. I'm not a professional videographer/cinematographer by any means but I do create videos on my trips and when shooting in D-LOG on the 4/3 sensor then shooting Normal on the 7x ½", color grading can be a pain. So seeing that both the 1/1.3" sensors have D-LOG M/HLC is great, although, D-LOG M doesnt have as much dynamic range as D-LOG. So hopefully DJI can add D-LOG to the Air 3 in a firmware update the way they brought HLG & more recently D-LOG M to the M3 series.

Thank you Billy would love to see more on waypoints

Thanks Billy

I'd love to see a deep dive into the waypoints feature. I feel like this feature can really create elite shots.

Great video! I sold my original Mavic 3 for the Mini 3 Pro last summer and have been making it work for the past year. Seeking a bigger drone though to keep up with the wind and filming fast bass fishing boats. Big toss up between the Mavic 3 Classic and Air 3. Decisions, Decisions.

Great review as always and this was for me the go to get the air 3. Today it was in my hands😀 One little question, will it in the further compatible with rc pro? Or is that a no go because O3?

23:50 I absolutely agree! Recently, we've been flying the Mavic 3 at the inlet and the Mini 3 Pro on the canal. While the Mavic 3 could certainly handle the canal, it's a bit narrow with trees lining both sides, overhead powerlines, and a bridge we often fly under. Naturally, we're cautious not to crash, but considering the potential risks, we feel more comfortable taking a $600 hit rather than a $2k+ one. I'm curious to know your thoughts on how well the drone performs at low levels, particularly around the 10ft mark, over the water. Safety is our priority, so any insights would be appreciated!

Thanks for your Review, as always @billykyle. It's great to have your perspective. Unfortunately, at least based on the Rec.709 samples you provided, this AC seems to have a bad case of the "DJI processing" malady that we've seen from them on many drones since the Phantom. Basically heavy on the NR, and sharpening, producing footage that flickers whenever the camera turns. Its maddening. If its possible to add a few D-LogM clips to your sample folder, it would be a huge help. I can't imagine buying this AC if everything has this processing but sometimes in the past, DJI has laid off the shake-and-bake with their DLog variants. Again, thanks for supplying the sample images and video. It's a great service that is highly appreciated.

Thank you for the great review! I just ordered one. :) I appreciate you providing example files to download. Very helpful! You got some stunning footage. One small request for future example files would be to remove the ND filter when taking stills so that you can use ISO 100 for best dynamic range. You might want to even do tests to see if ND's are necessary for your video work at all. For real estate projects shot at 60fps, any potential motion blur is negligible, so I never use ND's.

Cool seeing some super familiar shots of Utah that I myself have shot with my skydio. (Your videos are what helped me pull the trigger on my Skydio purchase) Bummed to hear that they are killing their consumer line😤 I guess I’ll have to start looking at the DJI seeing that it’s the only real choice for any kind of subject tracking capabilities……

I bought the air 3 and I love it! 👊

Excellent video as always Billy! @22:00 where is the location of the mountains with the picturesque ponds?

GET EM BILLY!!!!!

I think that the Air 2s is still a great choice. I have one, and I live it. You do have some advantages , like the one inch sensor. I don’t think I’d ever use a telephoto lense too much, so I think that if you don’t see yourself using the dual camera and just want one camera that’s got a solid camera, the Air 2s is still a good way to go. Great review Billy, thanks for all of your reviews.

I am really bummed that I went with the Mavic 3 Classic. I had no idea that there was a Mavic 3 Pro or a multi-camera Air 3 on the way. Having multiple cameras with different focal lengths sounds like a real game changer. BUMMER!!!!

Hello, my name is bill and I think that the mavic air 3 is the perfect drone ever. I already own the air 2 and air 2s, now it's time to finish the perfect drone family. Thanks for going through this awesome piece of DJI tech

I could have really used the extra wind handling over the Air 2S. Just returned from shooting the volcano in Iceland. So many features of this Air 3 would have been really useful. 3x zoom would relieve a lot of anxiety. You gotta get close enough to worry about melting with the super wide of the Air 2S.

Great review, thank you! I was using a Mavic two pro in my previous role at a job I’m no longer at, and I’ve been wanting to get my own drone now to use for various projects. I don’t quite have the budget for a Mavic 3 series drone, and this one seems to be leagues better than the Mini 3 Pro (other than price and portability, though that still seems like a fantastic drone, and one of my consider getting in the future for personal travel). I’m convinced this is the drone for me right now, and even though it has a smaller sensor size, it should be an improvement on the Mavic 2 Pro i’ve been using for the last five years.
