After three months with both drones, figured I'd share my honest take since this comparison gets asked weekly. The Air 3S and Mini 5 Pro share a lot of similarities, but there's only really a few areas where the Air 3S wins, and a couple where the Mini 5 Pro definitely wins.
Mini 5 Pro wins: Portability - it's so much smaller and lighter, and better dynamic range with the new dual ISO fusion system. Perfect for travel.
Air 3S wins: Dual camera system with genuine optical zoom capabilities that software can't replicate, plus better stability in windy conditions and 45-minute flight time.
Both have 1-inch sensors and can film 4K 60 D-Log M 10-bit color. For best fusion of capability and image quality, Air 3S wins. For portability with excellent quality, Mini 5 Pro.
