@@PeterLindgren1does the air 3 have the lidar, the green light that guides you when you rth, can u let me know please I will buy one, big fan of your hard work
Great review. I decided on the Air 3s for my first drone mainly for the more advanced obstacle avoidance and low-light performance. It's supposed to arrive Friday and I can't wait to start learning a new skill.
The 3s moves into the position you set it to right away while the 3 says on the screen that it will move to that position once the subject being tracked is in motion. So it looks to me like the 3s has "better" active track controls because it get the drone to start off where you want it before the subject is in motion.
@PeterLindgren1 I may be wrong, didn't the 3s move to the side when you moved your finger on the screen? It looked like you moved the position to the left and the drone flew there. I don't have a 3s yet but I'm planning on getting one soonish
Right now the Air 3 is $859 on Amazon . Compared to the Air3S being $1700 with tax etc. I use my drone for real estate which the videos go on social media so no real reason to get the upgraded version . I already have the mini 4 pro. Love it but I already had to come back other days on real estate shoots because the winds were to strong which causes me to delay in jobs. I wish I would have done more research and went with the Air3S at that price point . but considering how much I’m using drones for work, it’s beneficial to have 2 . Great video , thanks for the breakdown
Great video Peter. I have both drones and currently doing my comparisons with them. There are some differences but so slight. I agree you won’t notice huge strides but any movement in the right direction is a good one.
Blind tests you cant tell but side-by-side I can always tell the difference because of the dynamic range being better on the Air 3S. If I had an Air 3 I wouldn't upgrade but I went from a Mini 3 Pro to an Air 3S and there wasnt even a reason for me to consider an Air 3 over an Air 3s. Even with the price drops, the Air 3s has a lot of features besides the camera that make it worth the extra $300. Two major thins for me are the obstacle avoidance and the ability to transfer your content to your computer without powering up the drone.
I have ordered my DJI Air 3S Fly more Combo as my very first drone ever - and I personally think that the price difference was too small relatively speaking at about SEK 2,500 between the two models Air 3 and Air 3S, when I would have rather seen at least 4 000 - 5,000 SEK in difference between these two in my honest opinion. But for others it might be enough of a difference, but not for me. This will be a fun addition to my existing photography. Peace! ;-) //Jerry Källström, Sweden Soon licensed A1/A3 drone pilot
Hi Peter - nice demonstration of the two drones, particularly the OA testing! Can you tell me if you can use the Air 3 battery on the Air 3S, and swapping that around, the Air 3S battery on the Air 3?
YO. Peter, first: great job and thank you. Feels like this was the first real comparison I've seen that was not trying to make Air 3 look bad. Guess DJI did not pay you :-p Curious tho, about the contrast and saturation and better 'sharpness' of Air 3s, don't you feel like that is also a lot of POST from image processor, that we could easily achieve (similar, not identical) with Air 3 also? I kinda almost have the feeling that it is a bit over sharpen, like Air 3 is more natural.
Will it be a big upgrade if im upgrading from a Mini 3 Pro? Thinking about buying the Air 3S with fly more and RC2. Right now I have the RC-N1 without screen. Can you recommend the RC2 with screen and the upgrade from Mini 3 Pro?
That's what I need ;) The difference is negligible. The colour science out of the box is better on AIR 3S but only with side by side comparison. AIR 3 is good enough.
@@PeterLindgren1 Anytime! The obstacle avoidance in these is pretty crazy! I live around 5 military bases in the US so we have a ton of restrictions on drones, unfortunately. 😫
I’m looking to buy a new drone today. I am coming from a mini 2. My concern is the fact the Air 3s is only available thru DJI’s website and I’ve heard horror stories of people not being able to get their drones thru customs here in the US. I can get the Air 3 at Best Buy today. My concern is if I buy the Air 3 today, will I regret not waiting for retailers to get the 3s??
It all depends on what you’ll use it for. For social media without a lot of post processing, it might be a bad move. If you plan on doing a lot of post, then absolutely
My advice: put them side by side in DLOGM or HLG, at 4k 60 fps... You will remain with AIR 3...because is seen a loss in details on Air 3S big time, all fine small details are screwed (use the trees, without sky, to force the biggest bitrate)... :)
ALSO, YES...I'm reeeally a baby in this video creator world and I already hate D-LOG M a lot. Already shouting about it in my videos. How can we get DJI to listen on this? And, did you un purpose leave a D-LOG ungraded sequence here? :D
Why hasn't *any* reviewer so far shared what 'Style' (sharpness and noise reduction) settings they use on the Air 3S? How is anyone supposed to tell if the differences in the image they see aren't down to exactly those settings?.. All footage I've seen so far from the Air 3S looks way oversharpened. I just want to know how the image looks with sharpness and NR turned all the way down.
Forgot to add in the call out of the DJI Air 3S from 6:53 and onwards. But used the EXACT same settings as the Air 3, so you know!

Just upgraded to Air 3s from Air 2s - insane jump in quality. So happy with the results
That's the perfect upgrade honestly. 2-3 Years!
Didn’t want to see this comment to save me money lol

Good choice!
the colour on the 3s on the side by side looks much nicer
I'm amazed at what the new drones can do. Not in my wheelhouse, but fun to watch the footage from them, 100%.
I sold my Air 3 and now have the 3S that is a superior drone overall and especially for photography and video.
The 3s moves into the position you set it to right away while the 3 says on the screen that it will move to that position once the subject being tracked is in motion. So it looks to me like the 3s has "better" active track controls because it get the drone to start off where you want it before the subject is in motion.
Still couldn’t adjust the 3S

crazy not a huge difference.....great video comparison!

Is there noticable difference in photo quality from the 24mm camera?

Beautiful & Amazing drone shots Peter! I understand it takes a lot of effort to make such a video. love your content..😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
The larger sensor in the AIR3S is especially appreciated at high ISOs and in the evening, with dark scenes. Thank you for this comparison.
Absolutely, but i personally never fly during nights.

dina videos är ju sjukt bra.
Tack dude!
for the telephoto lens, do you see a difference? that's the lens i'm the most interested in. thanks
I’ll say no. There’s some subtle improvements but you only see them side by side.
The way the trees look on the 3S makes me want it over my 3 lol😂
Great video. Would've been even better with a low light comparison!
Gonna include the Mavic 3 in thee mix for that!
Wanna do an ultra comparison between the Mini, Air, and Mavic!
WOW what a video

Love the review but hte MA intro is superbly done.
Appreciate that bro!
Not related, but this man is caked up 🤣
That’s how fitness works
@PeterLindgren1 🤣 Love that
8:11 forgot to color grade😂 love the video!
Hahaha nice catch!
I looked this through 11 times and there’s still things I missed 😂
@ it’s all good! It’s gets overshadowed by the sick video! No worries!
That's what I need ;) The difference is negligible. The colour science out of the box is better on AIR 3S but only with side by side comparison. AIR 3 is good enough.
First comment on a Peter Lindgren video is crazy!

Tried to test it, but before I could generate anything: the test credit was over. You’ve reached your credit limit. LOL

If say get the air 3 unless you really need the low light capabilities
Would love to see in low light
Nice
If you really want the best image from both cameras, you should turn down both sharpness and noise reduction to a minimum.
It all depends on what you’ll use it for. For social media without a lot of post processing, it might be a bad move.
If you plan on doing a lot of post, then absolutely
The Air 3S produces videos that are overly sharpened, and I'm not a big fan of this!
Lol Air3 better then 3s? O_O so much contrast in the picture 3S
UPD:
I think my mavic 2 zoom is still the best zoom drone.
4:06 they haven't bin doing there best it took me over 3 hours to set up the neo
My advice: put them side by side in DLOGM or HLG, at 4k 60 fps...
You will remain with AIR 3...because is seen a loss in details on Air 3S big time, all fine small details are screwed (use the trees, without sky, to force the biggest bitrate)... :)
3:44 maybe because it is already on the left side of the car? So the active track worked no?!
Weird that I can’t set it beforehand though. I don’t wanna keep an eye on the remote when driving
but it's only like 200usd different in price for the fly more combo, so why not spend that little extra money for the newer drone?
Not everyone has the extra, and it’s Lao gonna be way cheaper used.
