so ive been going back and forth on this for like two months now and i just cant decide. currently flying a Mini 2 which has been great but im starting to feel limited especially shooting in lower light situations and i really want that medium tele lens option for stuff like wildlife and compressed landscape shots.

the Air 3 seems like the obvious upgrade path but every time im about to pull the trigger i start reading stuff about how the Air 4 or whatever they call it might be coming out soon and then i just close the tab and do nothing lol. my budget is around $1100 maybe a little more if the combo makes sense.

anyone made this jump recently? is the dual camera setup actually as useful day to day as it sounds or is it one of those things that looks great on paper and you end up just using the main lens anyway

honestly just get it. i said the same thing about waiting and then waited almost a year and a half and missed so many shoots i could have had better footage from. the Air 3 dual cam thing is genuinely useful, i use the tele way more than i expected especially for anything where you cant get physically closer. the low light is a real step up from the Mini line too, not perfect but noticeably better. whatever comes next will always be coming next, you know?

the fly more combo is worth it if you dont already have ND filters sorted, the extra batteries alone pay for the difference pretty quick.

im in almost the exact same spot lol, Mini 2 pilot looking at the Air 3. went to a local camera store last week just to look at it in person and the size difference is bigger than i expected from the photos. not a dealbreaker but something to think about if portability matters to you. didnt end up buying it but im like 90% sure i will next month
