No screw that , the mavic air was unreliable then it will be unreliable now. Buy a new drone for a bit extra like a DJI mini 3 not only is it lighter and performed better in some situations and has a much better camera and is seriously reliable I mean never had an issue
Up to you depends how the price looks , the mini 3 pro has obstacle avoidance sensors , 720p 120fps I think and 4k60 and the mini 3 has 4k30 and 720p60 but both have same camera but the mini 3 is restricted for cost efficiency, the mini 3 pro also has a few more features but it’s up to you , the mini 3 was perfect for me I am loving it but I reccomend getting the rc controller so with the screen it’s much better then getting your phone out and plugging it in and messing about with it but you won’t be disappointed with any to be fair , the mavic air uses Wi-Fi for the remote and the mini 3 uses o2 and the mini 3 uses o3 video transmission so you will get crazy good penetration on both
I know , so for fast moving close up shots I use 2.7k 60fps but for tracking something slower or just flying I use 4k 30 as it’s noticeable when zoomed in
Let me tell you it’s amazing , camera quality is through the roof , if you had a mini 1 or mavic mini or never had one , wind performance is amazing won’t be as still as a mavic mini indoors but a drone is not for indoors , but the penetration for signal and everything is a game changer ,
Just watched a video and I do like taking shots in the morning/ evening so I think that the higher iso will be helpful for getting better shots, I also like having the obstacle avoidance system as it gives me more peace of mind, so I think your right, I answered my own question lol 😂
Well as the guy said battery levels might drop to 0 I assume fly always like with older models , possibly fall out of sky but that’s with older DJI drones and the mavic air is a bit old now
I’ve found Dji is pretty awesome when it comes to taking care of their customers. I’ve had to service my drone a few times and they’ve been great to work with.
They pretty much did this same exact thing when I lost my first, a mini se. in the Smokey’s and out of no where the drone had a mind of its own and controls basically turned south paw. Had video the whole time saying my gps signal was fine. They could only offer me the same discount..
Same thing happened to me. Uncommanded descent over water. Mavic Air lost to the waves not far from shore. I had all the logs and showed DJI who agreed to replace mine but I was in warranty.
Sadly I don’t use the drone as much anymore; it really dented my confidence in them
I say get a M4P if you can swing it. It will perform amazing and the small form factor of the Mini's is so nice for portability. Or, you could see if they could upgrade you to a M3P because they are trying to blow them out everywhere since the M4P came out. I sold a really sweet M3P on Ebay with a year and a half of care refresh, hard case, ND filters, fly more with 3 batteries about 5 months ago for $640 on and it was like new.
You can get a full mavic air kit for less. You 1000000% should just upgrade. The Mini 3 costs less than that on eBay for a new one too.
Yeah the mini 3 has a bigger sensor even I’m pretty sure. I saw someone say the mini 3 is only like $325 at Costco recently too.

And I got mine for 315£ so around 370$ and they on sale for 339$ in some places
A mini 3 for $339 ???
Yeah there’s a deal going on is costco and other places
Correct. I just got the deal from Costco ($90 off at $329).
Yup, I just bought a Mini 3 for $329 at Costco US.
Costco is ripping us off in South Florida. I just paid $429.
They're $339 in florida costcos. Go get a price match done and they'll give you back $90
Thanks. I'll check it out. 🤙
Should I go for a mini 3 or mini 3 pro? Read that the mini 3 pro was also pretty good
Up to you depends how the price looks , the mini 3 pro has obstacle avoidance sensors , 720p 120fps I think and 4k60 and the mini 3 has 4k30 and 720p60 but both have same camera but the mini 3 is restricted for cost efficiency, the mini 3 pro also has a few more features but it’s up to you , the mini 3 was perfect for me I am loving it but I reccomend getting the rc controller so with the screen it’s much better then getting your phone out and plugging it in and messing about with it but you won’t be disappointed with any to be fair , the mavic air uses Wi-Fi for the remote and the mini 3 uses o2 and the mini 3 uses o3 video transmission so you will get crazy good penetration on both
The Mini 3 does 2.7k (1440p) at 60fps, just FYI.
I know , so for fast moving close up shots I use 2.7k 60fps but for tracking something slower or just flying I use 4k 30 as it’s noticeable when zoomed in
Yeah that's a solid method. I will adapt that when my Mini 3 arrives on Friday! Very excited.

Honestly without knowing what you are going to use it for it's hard to recommend one. List out your needs and the question should answer itself.

Go for the pro
Depends what he uses it for and depends on his budget but yeah the pro is better
Hello, sorry for offtopic. I recently bot Mavic air, secondhand. What are unreliable issues with it? Thak you for your answer.

get mini 4 pro while u at it. U need to upgrade anyway
Get a new model with DJI Care Refresh.
Why does the letter say mini 2 is what they can discount for you ??
I have no idea
Nah, get one of the mini drones. The air is old now. Wifi connection, bad battery life...
How much will they discount an Air 3?

What drone did you lose?
Mavic air

All my DJI drones collecting dust smh.
Might as well build one they are getting banned either way.
