    You are a very kind man. I admire your honesty and insights. It takes courage to make yourself so vulnerable about your personal life on a social media channel. I'm guessing that it can be scary and cathartic all at the same time. Your love for your kitties is heartwarming and the respect that and love that you show for your father is fabulous. I know that its been a difficult year for you. My hope for you is the pain will lessen as the new year goes by and that you will treasure the best things in your life. Best wishes.

    Just a month before Air 3s announced I sold my Mavic 3 Cine, so I was lucky. I knew Air 3s is going to be quite close to Mavic 3 in terms of image quality plus it has a 70mm camera. There aren't any Air 3s review other than yours that goes deep into sharpness setting and post-production options you can apply with the tools like Film Convert. I think Air 3s is a good buy after selling my Mavic 3 and it saves thousands of dollars!
    P.S. I've lost my father a month ago too... So, again, my condolences Philip.

    Thank you for another great drone review Philip. It's funny how your drone videos are more or less the only ones that show how these drones can be used for creative, artistic film making, while still having room for the technical details. With most other drone videos, I tend to skip to the conclusion after 5 minutes of watching. With yours, I prepare a cup of good coffee and some biscuits before I sit down to enjoy a review that in itself is a piece of art. Well done!

    As a hobbyist Air 2S and A7S3 owner I love how he shows what these things are capable of.

    Hello Philip. Wonderful explained. I am only a beginner, I like drones more for flying fun, obstacle avoidance, active track... You are the expert. I have also the Air 3 S. And good videos and images are also important. Some drone experts / photo experts on UA-cam said in categorie images / fotos the Air 3 s is bad / catastrophe or something like that. No Anti Alaizing filter, lots of moire, not detailed enough... Please give me your detailed opinion for the Air 3 S ( only categorie images / fotos and not videos ) and in addition in cstegorie videos: Lower bitate Air 3 S lower quality of videos especially when you fly fast and moving the camery gimbal... Some people said, lower bitrate is a problem... Perhaps you can give me a better feeling having a good drone also in this things. Thank you Philip.

    I did my review and comparison vs. the mavic 3 pro on my little pixpro blog and I found myself claiming the the 1inch+f1.8 combo gathers more overall light than the m4/3+f2.8 1x module on the Mavic 3 Pro (everything else being equal light gathering is the only metric for image quality after all). The difference is small, but I think that might just make it the best flying camera there is. Yes the Mavic 3 Pro has a bit more video modes and the 7x module, but Air 3S overall has become my favourite drone too.
    Goddamn do I agree that we should drop the outdated sensor size "names". The equivalent focal lenght, but not the aperture grinds my gears as well.

    Air 2S owner: 3.5 years & DJI still hasn’t made a drone that makes me want to upgrade. A 70mm lens would be nice, but I cannot give up 5.4k video. Especially now that I shoot on a GH6 at 5.8k. It is RARE that a single clip on my timeline doesn’t have some repositioning work done. I just can’t go back to 4k, ever. Even cropping in over 4k looks cleaner than it does with a 4k image, providing even more versatility.
    Excellent video as always of course.

    Fantastic and thorough review as always Philip. I do have one question (regarding photography). I recently picked this drone up myself and when I shoot 5 shot AEB with the 50MP setting it is incredibly slow to write the files to the card (and internal drive) is this just me, or is there a solution to this? I can't even switch camera or adjust settings while it does this and it can take up to 10 seconds to save, where as my Air2S was almost instant.
