so ive been saving up for months and narrowed it down to these two. keep seeing mixed reviews online but want to hear from people who actually own them. mainly gonna use it for travel photography and some casual flying around my neighborhood. budget isnt really an issue but dont want to overspend if the mini does everything i need

anyone got experience with both? which one you'd pick if you had to choose today

had the air 2s for about 8 months before getting the mini 3 pro and honestly the mini is way more practical for travel. battery life is pretty similar, camera quality is almost identical for what youre doing. only thing i miss is the slightly better low light performance on the air but its not a huge difference

if you're mostly doing travel stuff go with the mini, way less hassle at airports and takes up like half the space in your bag

dont listen to all the youtube reviewers they make everything sound way more complicated than it is. got my mini 3 pro as my first drone and its been perfect. super easy to fly and the footage looks amazing even for a beginner like me. cant speak to the air 2s but honestly the mini does everything i could want
