    I just ordered an Air 3S to replace my Air 2

    As far as I know, only third-party sellers have been selling the Air 3S (and many other DJI drones) on Amazon. You should look at the order to see who the actual seller is.

    130W laptop charger with the Air 3s

    Does the Anker charger meet the PD 3.0 or greater spec? That's required for fast charging. Also note that the charging rate will decrease as you get closer to 100% charge. Approximately how full was your battery when your measured the wattage?

    Battery Charging Issue with Power Station

    mAh will not necessarily reflect the capacity of a battery unless the relevant voltages are the same. It is best to convert to Watt-Hours to truly understand energy capacity. Also batteries are not 100% efficient in that their stated capacities will not equal real world performance due to...

    Air 3S photo quality is... disappointing

    The Mavic 3 Pro outperforms in every possible metric - shadow noise, color noise, acuity, color fringing, color fidelity. These are images taken in broad daylight, which makes the Air3S particularly disappointing and not on par with most modern mid-range cell phones. This is comparing a 12MP...

    Air 3S Delivered. A Few Big (& Unadvertised) Things I Noticed.

    You should ensure that the charger you ordered supports the PD 3.0 (or greater) standard and that a single port will deliver a minimum of 65W. Otherwise you may not see a great increase in charging speeds.

    Mini 4 Pro won't connect to windows 10 PC via USB

    There is a program called Driver Easy located at www.drivereasy.com. Download and install the trial version. I don't remember how the trial version works but at the very least it will identify all drivers that are out of date which may help your situation. You'd be surprised at many...

    After reading this post, the name "Airhead" can have multiple meanings.

    Air 3S packaging image leaked

    The difference in DR between those 2 sensors is closer to 1 stop and not several stops. Below is a graph comparing the photographic dynamic range between a RX100 (1” sensor) and a GH7 ( M43) at various ISO’s. The M43 sensor gets a boost at ISO3200 but this is not due to sensor size but that...

    Poor image quality

    I removed sharpening from both images to show that it is the JPEG processing that is creating the main difference between images from the two drone cameras. i.e. the unprocessed RAW images are about the same.

    Poor image quality

    Thanks for posting the images. I took both DNG's and set all of the sliders in Photoshop including sharpening to zero. I wanted to compare the 2 images with minimal post processing. The Mini 2 is on the bottom. This is close to a full pixel view but the M4P image was a little closer to the...

    Poor image quality

    The image on the right was processed by a JPEG engine that is more aggressive than that on the left. The image on the right is over-sharpened, has greater saturation and the contrast or black point is much stronger as compared to the left photo. Can you post the DNGs and JPEGs for both images...

    DJI Air 3 Charging Question

    Heckmaniac purchased a non-DJI charging hub so there was no change to the DJI hub. I believe it was this hub: Air 3 Hub

    Do you use 12 or "48" megapixle setting for stills on the Air3?

    Sorry but unless you have documented information other than some paid YouTubers, what you are stating is incorrect. The core image sensor for all 3 drones are the same - all of the specs, descriptions and published information from DJI do not indicate any difference between the Mini 3 Pro...

    Do you use 12 or "48" megapixle setting for stills on the Air3?

    Thanks for the link. The M3P, M4P and Air 3 all have sensors with dual native ISO's which means they have two conversion gain modes. I believe the high gain amplifier (which controls the high base ISO) can be adjusted within a range so that manufacturers can optimize the sensor for different...

    Do you use 12 or "48" megapixle setting for stills on the Air3?

    The Mini 3 Pro, Mini 4 Pro and Air 3 all have the same 48MP, 1.2 micron pixel, 1/1.3" sensor. The Min 4 Pro and Air 3 have an upgraded image processor over the Mini 3 Pro which allow those 2 drones to produce higher quality video options.
