DJI Air 3 Review - MUCH Better Than I Expected

DJI Air 3 has released July 25, 2023 with TWO cameras. I spoke to soon on the Air 3 when DJI first told me the specs, so I admit I judged it before I tried it based off the hardware and their claims. Two cameras at 4K with 3/4" sensors instead of that old 1" sensor at 5.4K on the Air 2S?? I am happy to say I was full of crap and I have the proof.

2 Cameras
1/1.3" Sensor 24mm F1.7
1/1/3" Sensor 70mm F2.8
4K H.265 MAX
10-bit Dlog-M on both cameras
46m Flight Time
Omni Obstacle Avoidance
Better Connection
2 x 12mp photo cameras (listed as 48mp but no)
New Smart Remote
Image Quality/Color Profile BIG step up
Active Track + Smart Features
720g
Vertical Shoot (sensor crop only)
10 m/s ascent/descent speed, fastest of DJI
4K 100fps/ 1080p 200fps slo-mo
NightMode

Air 2S MAJOR changes:
A second 3x Telephoto lens obviously
720g instead of 595g
12mp photos vs. 20mp on Air 2S
Omni Obstacle Avoidance now
4k Max instead of 5.4K
3/4" sensors instead of 1" sensor
Better Connection behind buildings/trees
46 minute flight time vs. 31m flight time
Vertical Shooting & NightMode added

Without a doubt the image quality has improved, even with a smaller sensor. Don't ask me how they did it but they did.
Much improved ISO, low light even beats the Air 2S with a larger sensor and 5.4K.

Just get a second battery and ND filters and you'll be fine. REALLY suggest the DJI RC 2 smart remote too, wildly helpful to the experience. Makes it way more fun, either smart remote is great just get one.
