Air 3 or Mini Pro 4

[iupui1299]

Hey everyone. I ordered the Mini Pro 4 to replace my Mini Pro 3 that was recently damaged. It should be here any day now but the day after I ordered Best Buy dropped the Air 3 Fly More combo down to $1249. I only got the Mini 4 and the RC controller which I think was like $989. Skipped the fly more since I had batteries from the Mini Pro 3. Is the AIR 3 worth grabbing at that price and just exchanging the Mini 4 since I’ve yet to open? I only use the drone for some YouTube filming and a few other basic filming events around town. I never leave the states so weight isn’t really an issue. I’ve had several drones. A Mini2, Mini 3 Pro and a Mavic Air. Just looking for some thoughts before I open up the Mini 4. Thanks in advance!

Aint nobody want a tiny drone.

If you fly in any inclimate weather conditions , you want to grab the Air 3 is a fantastic design of a drone , far surpassing that of the mini series 3/4 . Its also very fragile compared to the Air 3 .

We have flown in some incredible weather with the Air 3 so were bias.

Answer may depend on how much wind you contend with.
Try a larger aircraft would be my thought.

I have both a Mini 3 Pro and an Air 3 and the extra wind resistance plus the second camera on the Air 3 are game changers for me.

Thanks for the feedback. Tough choice. I keep going back and forth.

Post #5 is the answer.

@iupui1299 if cost is not an issue then just go for the Air3s

Since you already have the Mini3P, you've got sub 250g covered and all that gets you.

IMO that tips it decisively in favor of getting the A3 and returning the M4P. The A3 will get you everything the M4P will and more.
