Featured image for DJI Mini 3 Pro vs DJI Air 2S: which is the better choice?

The new DJI Mini 3 Pro has been released and is now within range of the older DJI Air 2S. Let's take a closer look at all the differences between the two drones.

Which drone is right for you?

If you want the larger 1-inch sensor capable of 5.4k video and a larger drone that can withstand the wind a little better the Air 2S is the drone for you. The Air 2S also features DJI AirSense (ADB-S) which will notify you of manned aircraft nearby.

If you are wanting a drone with a great camera, the peace of mind obstacle avoidance brings for less than the Air 2S and aren't worried about a smaller sensor size the Mini 3 Pro is the drone for you.

Both drones are amazing deals, and you really can't go wrong with either.
