DJI Mini 4 Pro vs. DJI Air 3

When it's time to hone in on specific scenes or objects, the 3x medium tele camera comes into play, with its 70mm format equivalent lens, f/2.8 aperture, and the same 2.4μm pixel size. It enables you to achieve a 3x optical zoom without losing image fidelity, offering a compressed spatial perspective that can make your subjects pop against their backgrounds.

 

This dual-camera system allows you to effortlessly switch between capturing grand landscapes and accentuating key subjects from one sophisticated device. If your ventures in drone photography demand versatility and the ability to adapt to any scenario, look no further than the Air 3.

In summary, both drones offer exceptional flight performance and safety features for general use. The decision between the two may come down to specific needs like the higher max take-off altitude of the Air 3 for those prioritizing travel versatility or the Mini 4 Pro's more compact and lighter design for those prioritizing portability.

 

The Mini 4 Pro and Air 3 have advanced intelligent features such as ActiveShots 360° and MasterShots. With MasterShots, the Air 3 and Mini 4 Pro can autonomously execute various dynamic camera maneuvers, capturing a sequence of shots that are skillfully stitched together with music, transitions, and effects to create effortlessly cinematic videos. Leveraging ActiveShots 360° allows users to customize diverse tracking paths to suit any filming situation.

 

When considering vertical shooting, the Air 3 boasts 2.7K resolution support for both cameras, ensuring that vertical content—ideal for capturing towering landscapes or prominent subjects—has a strikingly dynamic quality. It utilizes dual 4:3-aspect-ratio CMOS sensors to provide ample space for vertical compositions while preserving the crisp 2.7K resolution, an optimal format for smartphone screens.

 

On the other hand, the Mini 4 Pro allows users to alternate between landscape and portrait modes with a simple tap. The camera gimbal is adeptly redesigned to rotate 90° to facilitate True Vertical Shooting, guaranteeing that the image quality remains uncompromised. This results in detailed shots formatted perfectly for social media platforms and immediately available for sharing.

 

Air 3 might bulk up your backpack, but that's the trade-off to get those ambitious shots.

 

At under 249 grams, the Mini 4 Pro is small enough to slip into your pocket. It's always game for impromptu flight sessions. Its lightweight design generally exempts it from mandatory pilot training or certification requirements in numerous countries and regions, simplifying the process for enthusiasts and professionals to start flying with minimal hassle.

 

The Mini 4 Pro and Air 3 are fully compatible with the latest remote controllers, the DJI RC 2 and DJI RC-N2. These controllers feature advanced DJI's O4 technology, which provides an impressive 20 km (12.4-mile) range for your drones. Although you'll unlikely operate the drones beyond your line of sight, this powerful technology ensures that your connection remains seamless and supports a crystal-clear 1080p/60fps streaming directly to your controller's display without lag.

Furthermore, after a simple firmware update, both drones are now equipped to support First-Person View (FPV) flights when used with the DJI Goggles Integra, DJI Goggles 2, and the DJI RC Motion 2, promising a more immersive flying experience that you're sure to enjoy.
