    Great compassion, I am going with the Air 2S because I want the higher quality sensor and more stability in the wind, plus extra collision detection just in case. Safety Tip: Not a good idea to charge your batteries overnight, make sure you are near by. It's rare but those lithium-ion battery can catch fire if they are old or faulty and it usually happens while being charged. And it's not just a little smoke they burst into flames like a jet engine once they ignite.

      You are going to love it ! I couldn't believe the difference between the old Air 1 and the Air 2S, it's totally another world ! And you're right about the batteries, but reality is that it's reaaaaally difficult not to... They take quite a while to charge, since it goes one by one, and often I'm out shooting the whole day, and can only charge it at night... But I might be more careful when they aged a bit! Thanks for watching and leaving this suggestion !

    My guess is the Mini 4 will have a base and pro model. The pro will completely phase out the Air series. It will have extended batteries that will make flight times and stability comparable to the Air 2S but still have the option for under 250g flying. The non pro model will be more comparable to the current mini 3, with some of the advanced features of the mini 3 pro

    I have a Mini 2... Sorry... I HAD a Mini 2... It fell into the sea and it doesn't work. I am planning on buying the Mini 3 pro, but I saw the price of the Air 2S... It is almost the same as Mini 3 pro and I don't know which one to get...🤷‍♂ Sometimes I use it for UA-cam but mostly for fun and beautiful images and videos for myself. Air 2S is safer because of the upwards sensor and I think performs better image and video quality. Would be grateful to hear your opinion.😁

      Hi dear !! So, overall for image quality, sturdiness and safety, Air 2S. For a bit lighter and easier to carry but still powerful drone, the Mini 3 Pro can do a lot for you! Really depends on how much are you willing to carry it and if the price difference matters to you or not that much :D

    1. The Air is faster and that's useful for orbiting large things like islands.
    2. The gimbal actually works at top speed on Air because it's stronger 💪
    The lack of portrait video on the air is really annoying and I miss it constantly. It's also outrageously loud and I can hear it like a helicopter even when it's 200meters away. The only way to be quiet is to fly slowly. Zero stealth on the air😪

      And I agree with you on this :) I wanted to say that the Air 2S is a higher quality / sturdy drone to guarantee a well done paid job, but surely there are some exceptions, and weddings are perfectly one of them. I've seen also many people using the Mini for that. The disadvantes I see are related to how strong it is if the weather/wind is strong and how well it handles noise when it begins to get dark.

      Yeah, it's in a very thing edge price point, getting too close to the Air2S and a bit too far from the Mini 2 and 3... But you do get a better drone... all coming down to the budget, but value wise, maybe the Mini 3 now might be the sweetspot, especially if you already have a controller.

    Excellent video. I'm an Air 2S owner. In Ireland it costs euro 30 for a two year drone licence and you have to complete a basic theory exam first. Doesn't a drone use the battery quicker if it is just hovering, than if it is moving (at a reasonable speed)?

    • @FlyEnri
      @FlyEnri  2 роки тому +1

      Hi dear !! Ah good to know, quite cheap then for a 2 year license! I've tested in both cases and always hovering allowed for more time flying than going in any direction even if slowly. One very basic mistake for example is being nervous that the battery is finishing and trying to come back super fast. With the Air2S sometimes I put in Cine mode and come slowly back and filming to enjoy the last couple of minutes of battery.

    Air 2S is a far superior drone to the Mini 3. The mini range is the budget end of the scale. For roughly the same price the Air 2S its a no brainer. Hopefully the new controller will become compatible with it. That would be the perfect combo.

      Why should the air 2s be far superior? Video Quality is nearly the same, low light is even better on the mini 3. The downsides are less stability in strong winds, photos arent as good. But Mini 3 is cheaper, lighter, can tilt the gimbal up and shoot vertical videos. Maybe the Air 2S is slightly better, but not "far superior" or am I missing something?

    Hi, thanks for the great comparison! I am thinking about getting an Air 2s. Does it mean I can theoretically fly with this drone in areas that are prohibited by law? Is an authorisation in the geozone (blue) with the Air 2s also possible in the city without any problems?

    • @FlyEnri
      @FlyEnri  2 роки тому +1

      Hi B D ! There are two levels of security you'll face here. One is the local laws, and the second is what is perceived by the DJI app. Often they match, sometimes they don't. The DJI app will block you even from getting off the ground if you don't send a request to unblock with the documents you have attached, confirming you have authorization. When it's about the local laws, but the app doesn't see the forbidden area you'll manage to fly, but you'll be breaking the local laws, and later the flight log can be used as proof against you, so totally not advised. Just follow the local rules, and whenever you see a mismatch you can send it to DJI to unlock that area. Thanks for watching !

    I absolutely agree with your comparison. I have the original air2 and was humming and hawing on which of the two (air2S or mini3) I should get as the mini3 is still better than the air2 imo. But in the end I went with the air 2S. For me it was kind of a no brainer as I had 4 air2 batteries already. The SDK for the mini3 is probably about 6-12 months out given their history as well, whereas the air2S has the SDK out now, which you need if you do location scanning / surveying in 3rd party apps. The mini 3 pro looks like a great piece of kit for travel when you don't want to worry about licenses in other countries as well. btw - question for anyone who has flown abroad with a mid->large size drones, what's the procedure for getting licensed in other countries ? Do you need to reapply and redo the whole test for each country you visit, or can you transfer your existing license and registration over ?

    • @FlyEnri
      @FlyEnri  2 роки тому +2

      Europe-wise all you need is a license from one of the countries that are part of the EU and you're good to go, some might require some additional registration in case you're flying in a complicated area, but usually nothing really. But it's always good to take a look, because things are changing, and what should be a unified regulation still doesn't feel like it at all!

      Hi dear! Sure, always better to have two pictures, same place, same conditions, same focus point to compare, although it's quite hard to be precise if you're not flying both drones simultaneously. What I mean in the video is that having more MP does not equal better, sharper images always. The sensor size and if you're going to crop in or not will affect a lot. I have found many of the images with the Mini 3 Pro grainier or simply oversharpened in comparison to the Air2S. It all comes down to what suits you best in the field :)
