@@GRamerDim before the new regulations that was my life, I flew my Spark around the Eiffel Tower lol. Later I found out it’s a 50,000 euro fine if you are caught (I wasnt). It was just a lot of stress. These days it’s nice you can fly legally in most places and the Mini 4 Pro quality is pretty impressive with the DLOGM.
I was just stopping in to point this out. In the US, if you're a recreational drone operator, it HAS to be under 250g or you're considered a commercial drone op, have to register, get your license and follow all Part 107 rules. In Canada, there's no distinction between commercial or recreational - BUT, ALL drones under 250g regardless of use are exempted from most (but not all) restrictions. So if you don't want the hassles of registering, using RemoteID, getting a license and having a LOT more restrictions put on you, get the Mini 4 Pro. The image quality is almost as good, it's so much easier to carry around with you all the time and heck, it's even cheaper.
Hello from South Africa. They are both great drones as I have most Dji drones available, I have them both and find each one has its own uses, I would not use the mini4 pro in heavy winds as I would have the Air 3s for that, when it comes to shooting scenes where one cannot fly too close I use the Air 3s telephoto camera, whereas the Mini 4 pro is better in tight spaces and indoors, great video comparison thanks for taking the effort to make this video, good one.
Yep totally agree with those use cases for both drones. If one has the luxury of owning both, it definitely makes sense as they have their own pros and cons. Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching and leaving your two cents ✌️
Well I have the mini 4pro. I'm learning it's to an not to doe's. Now I want air 3s thanks for the information. Great video. Keep on flying my friend. An fly safe.
Glad you liked the video man! The Mini 4 Pro is a fantastic drone, I'm sure you know the kind of great shots you can get with it. But the Air 3S just has that little bit extra...
@SightseeingStan I tried the rocket mode yesterday. It did the same thing looked straight up when locked on me. I did it locked on my van the gimbal didn't do it this time didn't do it. What's up with that you think
@@NGMdrones YES! I can't believe I forgot to mention that, cause I was talking about that while doing some of these tests. Here the Mini 4 Pro wins, the Air 3S batteries take longer to charge. Which makes sense considering they have a higher capacity.
For me, the key point is the inconspicuousness of the Mini 4 Pro. I have no interest in pointless discussions, and the Mini 4 Pro is virtually invisible at 100 meters altitude. The brain intuitively assumes it's a small bird and dismisses it as unimportant. The noise can give it away, but usually, only other drone pilots recognize the characteristic sound. So far, I've never been approached while flying the Mini 2 or the Mini 4 Pro. And it has to be said that the photo and video quality is hardly worse than that of the Air 3S.
image quality of air3/mini4 pro is clearly worse than air3s, i had all three drones, compared side by side. sensor and lens from mini4pro is a garbage combo , only sharp and detailed in the middle with a lot of noise even at iso100 base iso. lens is garbage, corners are smearing, lack of fine details. photo video quality of m4pro is like mobile phones from 5 years ago.
There are videos out there comparing those two. I think this is also an interesting comparison because there's not a huge price difference between the Air 3S and Mini 4 Pro.
@SightseeingStan the reason why I'm saying that is because I already had 1 video. The guy did a pretty good review on it. The air 3 is not far off from the air 3S other than the lidar. Basically, dji added a little goodies, but the camera's not anywhere where you can see night and day difference. So it'll help people to make that decision if they want to spend the extra $500 on that drone. But great job on your review
The Mini 4 is pretty recent but at the rate which DJI is releasing new gear, who knows! Eitherway, I think these drones are at such a high level now that most updates are mostly little extra features
In my tests of the A3s, it wasn’t too much of an improvement imo. I uploaded the results. It still struggles with dead limbs/twigs. I was disappointed in this with it having the LiDAR as well. Also bobbles more in the wind bc the body is taller.
i have air3 and 3s, put them on a steady place and took same photos&shots. daylight-night etc. sensor of air 3s is at least two stops cleaner than air3 sensor, dynamic range is clearly better. Big difference is in the lens, air3s lens is much sharper than air3&minipro4 lens, espescially in the mid-corner areas where air3 is loosing a lot of details, air3s gives fantastic details, and my air3 has a good centered lens (lucky one). IQ of air3s waaay better than air3/mini4pro , if you cant see the huge difference, problem is with you guys. However, although air3s sensor&lens is much better than air3/mini4pro, it is definitely not 14EV sensor. I have also sony a7iv, a7cii cameras that have true 14ev fullframe sensor,,,,output of these sensors are light years better than air3s sensor in both photo and video, not even worth to compare.

Yep, that is definitely a huge point for the Mini 4 Pro!
it's only illegal if they catch you 🫣

Why not just the DJI Neo, easily in as well as on pocket @@TheoWerewolf

As for the battery, the main difference is how long it takes to charge the battery.

Why are you and other people not doing the DjI air 3 versus the air 3. S. Mini pro is in it own class .

What camera did you shoot this video with?
@@Ayman_Hadraoui Sony a7siii
i'm saving money for the DJI mini 4 pro but... the DJI mini 5 pro is coming soon?
DJI flip is going to launch in January, it is speculated that it will be the successor to mini 4pro.
The Mini 4 is pretty recent but at the rate which DJI is releasing new gear, who knows! Eitherway, I think these drones are at such a high level now that most updates are mostly little extra features
Have both 😂
Nice one man! 👍

Interesting to hear your experience with the Air 3S! It's definitely not perfect (yet) 😉
@ I made a couple of videos about it. One good, the other bad
How does the air 3s bobble more in the wind than the M4P? Sounds like 🧢 to me.
@@jamalritchie7148 I was comparing the 3s to the 2s, I don’t have a mini 4

And yet, Air3S is not even real 48mp
@@mosestanjy yeah i agree with you. photo quality is still below standards
@@fluxcapacitor3273 That's why I stick with the Air2S, real 20mp of detail which is great for print
Have both, mini 4 pro is weak sauce
In comparison to the Air 3S in some regards for sure! But it still packs a serious punch for a mini drone...
@SightseeingStan good weather, clear sky's, having the drone within sight yes, doing anything over water, longer times and distances, air 3s only.
