And the "drone industry" is just a figurative thing. Just becuase something "new" is released doesn't make what was already there all of a sudden obsolete. These things are all just tools, new or old what matters is what they can do for you while you still own them. To me obsoletion means the devices no longer supported by the company itself so much that it can't be used any more and you can't find part la to repair it. Until that happens, that device is of value to someone out there.

Also, the point you made about relative portability is an important one too, especially for hobbyists, and if they like to travel with their drones.

You're spot on. The Mavic 3 is definitely the better drone, but not better enough to justify the price jump. I fly both, the mavic for work and the air 2s for personal work. I have no plans to upgrade my personal drone. I LOVE the air 2s. That said, I love the Mavic 3's obstacle avoidance more. In my work I film in tricky situations and while the obstacle avoidance can be a hassle at times, it's saved my insurance company from having a melt down on multiple occassions. Haha.

Thanks, Jake. I'm an Air 2S owner and I have to walk 90 minutes to the one local spot where I can freely fly without interruption, or concern about unwanted attention from other people. However, that convertible carry bag/back-pack for the Mavic 3 might help a lot with that limitation. A number of YT drone reviewers have had crashes, or at least incidents, with the obstacle avoidance: it still doesn't detect thin & non-reflective twigs/branches and the gimbal seems more fragile (due to camera weight?). The Air 2S' obstacle avoidance does feel like it is in two minds, before grudgingly sliding past you. I've seen tests of the Beta Active Track on the 3 and it appears to work well tracking a person, but needs some fine tuning following vehicles (it swings about more than you'd like at times).

@JakeSloan

Seriously your shots in Alaska make me want to vacation there and I don't like cold weather for more than a day or two. I was a photographer/videographer for 6 years and I've shot nationally advertised commercials. Currently I'm a contractor and frankly I am a 29 year old millionaire looking at getting my first drone basically because I watch your videos. Really thinking about a Mavic 3 fly more or possibly cine setup. To be honest, if my wife spends $1500 I won't even notice it. Cine is nice because all I use is apple and I like pro res format, that said, the only reason I don't know about the air 2s is because I plan on moving/retiring to Florida shortly and I want the drone to be able to track me while in my boat, and I've heard the mavic just does way better with tracking. Do either of them track at high speed? Or is boat tracking exclusively for manual control? Please keep making videos. I plan to subscribe to your patron as well as your KZread. You're great dude.

Since flying drones is a part of my photography business, I always need to carry a backup. A good backup is a drone with compatible accessories. Since the Mavic 3 isn't compatible with any other drone, two drones with 4 batteries and 2 controllers will set me back $5,200. If I buy an Air 2S and an Air 2 as backup, both as Fly More with a total of 6 batteries, It's $2,250. That makes the Mavic 3 130% more expensive. If I want a Smart Controller, the Air 2 price increases to $2,750, while the Mavic 3 package goes up to $6,400, making the gap even bigger. Considering the fact that the Air 2S was considered the "bee's knees" of drone photography as little as 7 months ago, the premium price of the Mavic 3 seems rather rich to me. Is the Mavic 3 a more "professional" tool? Time will show. If the next generation, the Mavic 4, uses batteries and controllers that are compatible with this one, that will help. If DJI yet again chooses to make the next generation totally incompatible with the previous, it's just another expensive hi-tech toy.

no right now only 4;3 and 16:9

I have both drones. I can't really tell much difference in image quality, especially on my phone. I can tell when I see images side by side, but that's about it. For me, the longer flight time and better wind resistance mean a lot to me. I do a lot of sunrise and sunset shots, I love getting above low clouds and the Air2s often struggles in the wind. I also find that longer hyperlapses are too much for the battery, especially if I misjudge the timing of the sunrise. Of course it helps that the Mavic 3 is at least marginally better in every aspect. If I had switched brands and had to give up Mastershots or something like that, I could not have justified the cost

I’d go for the smart controller for sure if you have the budget for it

Hey! I am quite late but I have a question, is it better to buy the Air2s with the controller fly more combo, or go for mavic 3 fly more combo but without the controller?

I’d do the air 2s and controller combo personally

Nice Video 👍

Great stuff Jake. I would have gotten the Air2s but the variable aperture is a must-have for me. Got my Mavic 3 and I am disappointed that I can't do a hyper-lapse yet. Missing some of the opportunities that this freezing fog is giving us.

Thanks Mike! I have a Mavic 2 pro still if you want to borrow it to capture this frozen beauty around us!

@@JakeSloan Thanks, not really keen on flying someone else's drone. Thanks for the offer though.

Great comparison, thank you!!... Now my question is.... if you have a Mavic Air 2, how much better is the Air 2s, and would you recommend making that upgrade? ... I do agree that the difference in the 3 over the 2s...not TWICE as good, like the price is twice a much. If you did a comparison video between the 2 and 2s, please let me know and I'll watch it. I'm just trying to figure out if I should upgrade or not.

Thank you, Jake. Another well founded reason to buy the Air 2S over the M3. I lost my beloved Mavic 2 Pro a year ago to a treacherous branch over water and have been mulling about the replacement since. The M3 has better obstacle avoidance and image quality, but at the end of the day, it is way too expensive for an amateur like me. My grievance nowadays regarding drones is that we are outcasts. The sign at Iguazu Falls National Park, here in Argentina, forbidding drone flying was bigger than the one asking people to look after children for deadly falls, alligators and kidnappings! Anyway, waiting for delivery of my new Air 2S and hoping to better flying!

Yeah it’s unfortunate how many places seek to outright ban drones when they can provide so much value and do a lot of good

very clear...thank you

Great video thank you. I am a little confused though, I thought a 4/3 sensor was smaller than a 1 inch sensor, or is that just in dslr/mirror-less cameras. Or is Micro 4/3 different all together than the 4/3 sensor in the Mavic 3 drone ?

@JakeSloan

sensor size is confusing lol. from smallest to largest it goes 1/2.3, 1/1.7, 1/1.5, 1", 4/3 APSC, super 35 and then full frame. Micro 4/3 is more to do with the mount system but uses a 4/3 sensor. I hope that helps!

4/3 is larger than 1/1

Does the Mavic 3 do that cropping in thing at higher frame rates in 4K?

I like the noise of the Mavic 3. I think the Mavic 3 is more of a want for me than a need at the moment. I currently have too many drones with an Inspire both the Pro2 and 2 Zoom, the Air 2s, a Mini2 and an assortment of Phantoms. The Air 2s and Mini2 are the 2 birds that travel with me in my daily shooting. You also have a typo in your copy above "Mavic 3 or the Air 3s"

Um thank you I guess? If you’re referring to my video at the end I told people that the air 2s is still the best value drone on the market for the quality video you get out of it.

Great review, very real world and I think this is what most folks want! No one seems to mention how high the Mavic 3 or Air 2S can fly. How high can they fly and get footage? Thanks again for you very well done review. Tom

They can fly pretty well up to 14,000-15,000 feet high higher than that and they start to struggle

can you give me your opinion on a drone that I can use to follow me for kiteboarding, wind 15 to 25 kts. How would it work if i am on the water and the battery dies, would it go back to the beach or land in the water?

@JakeSloan

Either of these will do that but for what you want maybe look at the Skydio 2. However all these drones will struggle in more than 15knts wind.

Hey Jake! good comparison. What do you think is next for the Air 2s? (if anything) Do you think DJI will make any changes or improvements, like better obstacle avoidance or tracking or ?? Maybe they just make an Air 3? Im just a hobbyist, the Mavic 3 is outta my realm.
