I'm in the same boat. Was pretty sold on the
Mavic 3 and then started doing some deeper research on the forums and such where I saw the various issues.
I think I'd probably be happy with the
Air2S as well, but I'm primarily concerned about battery life. I'm interested in flying/posting extended landscape flights on YouTube as a hobby.
I think approx. 20 minutes is enough flight time for me, but I'm seeing a lot of people saying the
Air2S is only getting 15 minutes with relatively normal conditions. That's not quite enough for what I want to do.
Also appreciate the larger sensor on the
Mavic 3 but not as big of a deal. That it's already good for the RID changes also seems useful. But $1200-$2000 useful, I don't know.
For me, it's mostly flight time. If the flight time difference between the
Air2S and
Mavic 3 is, say 20-21 minutes versus 34-35 minutes, okay. I'm sold. But I've seen some YouTube reviewers say they're getting 20 minutes on
Air2S and 28 minutes on
Mavic 3. Not enough of a difference.
What is the average flight time experience for
Mavic 3 users here? Yes, I'm aware of the GPS connection issue eating into battery time. I'm purely interested in time in the air. Thanks!
