@@DimmyVwant a drone to use for more windy and chasing fast moving subjects. I do a lot of chasing speed boats at sunset. I already have someone that’s great for portability. Mavic 4 would be great but I know that will be like $3000-$4000 cad. Budget is $1800-2500 cad
@itsKEVO I would go for Air 3S then if that’s your budget. Also look for ways to spread the cost like an interest free loan or afterpay. Some offer ways to buy now and pay later. Some have some interest other not depending on the length of term. I did it a few times so I can make money with my drone. The Air 3S is also faster than the Mavic 3.
Also the extra features on Air 3S make it a better buy than Mavic 3 Pro at the moment. Lidar RTH alone is a super value add on you get with Air 3S. I was in the same boat 3 weeks ago and then decided to go with Air 3S.
I noticed that when i film in 4k 60fps with my air 3 and transfer the footage to my cellphone the video comes out choppy and studders, does anyone know why? 🤔
@@DimmyV i use the quick transfer feature in the DJI fly app. 30fps, 48fps, and 50fps seem to work fine but when i transfer it in 60fps the video studders.
The big bummer, when you compare the Air3S's video footage to the Air2S. The 2S has a REAL 1" 20MP sensor. The Air3S's 1" sensor is only a 12MP that uses quad-bayer crap to FAKE 50MP. I bought the 3S, used for 1 day and returned it. Complete waste of time.
Come on... There's nothing like DJI's miracle algorithm to preserve quality at a lower bitrate in H.265. It is the given codec. The image is sharper and more detailed mainly due to the absence of the Anti-Moire filter, which causes the roofs of houses with a finer structure to contain a lot of moire. In the table you state 130Mbps for 4k30fps, but in reality nobody gets over 90Mbps at 60fps and at 30fps it is more like 75Mbps and that is simply not enough. I have this drone and I would really like a higher bitrate because the details are lost at higher speeds. But the Anti-Moiré filter is a hardware thing and we are unfortunately unlucky there.
Appreciate you feed back on this. The table made was just using the bit rates as described by DJI not the actual bit rates. What did you think overall from the footage. You liking the Air 3S?
@@DimmyV The picture is not bad, but it really needs a higher bitrate and it's a pity that there is no moire filter. Photos are good at 50 Mpx, but need to go through post-production due to high aberration. The drone has amazing features but the image decisions are its weakest point and it's a shame. The drone had the potential to be an absolute monster. I think if it had remained a full 20 MPx sesor like the Air 2S, it would have been a better decision.
@ I would have love a bigger MP or at least have the 70mm also a 1inch sensor too. I tend to prefer that. I’m sure the high bit rate can be added as a firmware update like DJI did with the Action 5 Pro. We just have to be a little patient. Overall still a good drone. Have you seen other comparison videos?
Luts are the snake oil for drones these days. If you use brightness, contrast, saturation and gamma you will get same results in a blink of an eye. Without spending money. And you gotta learn something in the process. Better investment imho.
Yup that why I made this video so people have the option to do it themselves or use a LUT. End of the day some don’t want to spend time on it as it adds to the work flow. ua-cam.com/video/BGcIrrzB_MU/v-deo.htmlsi=SE9li3_ycnyP9vQz Appreciate the comment 🍻

Great video, really enjoy your breakdowns and data charts.
I’m stuck between Dji air 3s or mavic 3 pro because the price is around the same right now. I wanted a second drone to complement my Dji mini 4 pro
The Mavic 4 will likely be released in new year. What do you want it for? The Air 3S is more portable than Mavic.

Would you use slow motion or film 4K60 and slow down in post?

Interesting, how are you transferring the footage? Have you tired LightCut? ua-cam.com/video/PJiS9ljqcQE/v-deo.html

@ hmmmm try bringing the footage to your computer and then transferring to phone.
@@DimmyV Will do, just thought transferring it straight to the phone was just more convenient.
@@spartang.1388 yeah I know but best to check all possibilities to see

As far as we know none of the recent drones from DJI has any HW anti aliasing filter... That said, yes, lowering bitrate is always a stupid decision.
The air 3S trees look much better
