You will see that this is not even the best feature

Does the Mini 3 replace the Air2S?

Please elaborate as to what is the best feature?

Better low light capabilities compared to sub-1500 dollar DJI products, gimbal/video angle, wind resistance and ability to shoot above the horizon in heavy wind instead of pointing below the horizon. Either of those is better IMO

Features and pricing seems to be close to Air 2s.
Perhaps Air2s will be replaced with Air 3 soon!

Once people fully understand the gimbal design they will beg DJI to update the air3 with the same design as the mini 3 (but bigger obviously)

Just 34 mins while staying under least regulations/restrictions 250 grams.
47 minutes is with optional weight limit breaking bigger battery.

Doubtfull wind resistance will be comparable to bigger drones.
250 gram limit is simply very tight when you've already spend more of weight budget on camera and gimbal + more obstacle detection.

This is something I'm interested in. My Mini 2 tends to bounce around a lot.

What's interesting, though, is that the entire lineup seems to have the same level 5 rating (as opposed to something like the Autel EVO Lite+ at 7). But I'd expect the bigger A2S to manage the wind better. Maybe just less bouncing?

Air 2S does clearly better against wind than twice the weight Autel EVO II.

So wouldn't trust Autel's marketing claims any more than measured in downhill and tail wind fuel consumption numbers of car makers.

Awesome! Thanks for the vid. I'll check it out.

You also should not trust “more weight=better” then should you?

 

[EliteBleader]

As you said the new design should provide more natural wind resistance

For similar form factor cross section against wind increases slower than mass.
And that mass is big factor affecting how strong motors can be.

Though Autel is possibly clearly behind DJI in motor performance.
Suspect DJI has the muscle to have fully custom designed motors, while Autel might be buying some off the shelf motors.

As you said the new design should provide more natural wind resistance

For overall size Mini 3's design is rather fat giving that cross section for wind to hit.

 

[ThatBeardedDroneGuy]

That was pretty interesting. The Autel didn't hold up that well and the A2S did a bang up job. The Mini 2 performed about as I expected. I've been blow sideways pretty good and had to drop altitude to recover.

47min flight time will sell a lot of Mini3's.

As long as you realise that the 47 minute optional battery tips it over the 249g scale, which will have consequences in some countries and/or situations.

Love my Anafi Too!
