So ive been going back and forth on this for like two months now and i need someone to just tell me what to do honestly. Currently flying a Mini 3 Pro which i love but im starting to feel limited by it mostly on the video quality side of things when i push into low light situations. A friend of mine picked up the Air 3 a while back and the footage looks really really good but im not sure if its worth the jump in price especially when theres always rumors of new stuff coming out.

Im doing mostly travel stuff, some hiking videos, occasional real estate work where the client doesnt care that much about specs as long as it looks good. Do people think the Air 3 is still worth it right now or should i be looking at something else or just waiting?

Honestly the Air 3 is still really solid and i dont think youre gonna regret it if you pull the trigger. The dual camera setup alone is worth it for travel stuff ? being able to switch between the medium tele and the wide without swapping anything is just genuinely useful in the field. Low light is a massive step up from the Mini 3 Pro too, like noticeably better not just on paper.

I always tell people that waiting for the next thing in this hobby means you never actually buy anything. Theres always something around the corner. The Air 3 has been out long enough that any early firmware weirdness is sorted out, its a known quantity at this point.

I went from a Mini 2 to the Air 3 earlier this year and honestly the learning curve wasnt bad at all. The RC 2 controller took a little getting used to but now i cant imagine going back to using my phone. One thing i will say is budget for ND filters right away, i didnt and my early footage looked kinda overexposed in bright conditions even with everything set right. Freewell makes a set that fits the Air 3 that i grabbed for pretty cheap.
