Mine’s coming tomorrow! Can’t wait to try it out.

Nice! Post some pics once you’ve had a chance to fly it.

Still doesn’t feel like a pro-level drone. I’m convinced most reviews are biased at this point, saying the camera is on par with the Mavic 3. It’s just not.

I agree. It can’t match the Mavic 3’s Hasselblad camera, but for casual users, the difference won’t be that noticeable.

@Sawyer
It’s good enough for most people, but pros will still want the Mavic 3 or 4.

I’m thinking of pulling the trigger too. Just need to confirm if my Mavic 3 batteries will work with it.

Unfortunately, Mavic batteries aren’t compatible with the Air series.

@noa
Yeah, but hopefully, we’ll see some price drops when the Mavic 4 comes out.

Backwards compatibility would be a first for DJI.

Actually, the Air 3S batteries work with the Air 3. The Air 2S also used Air 2 batteries.

@Wren
Good to know. I always end up buying new batteries.

@Wren
The Air 3S battery is slightly larger but offers a bit more power. You lose about a minute of flight time compared to the Air 3 battery.

The Mini 3 and Mini 4 share the same batteries as well.

You might be able to find aftermarket solutions for battery compatibility.

Five weeks until shipping? That’s rough.

Yeah, but with all the recent tech releases, I’m not too surprised. Hopefully, things speed up.

@LizCampbell
Yep, US here. Maybe you placed your order before me. I had a few hiccups during checkout.

Sometimes it’s just luck with these things.

I guess I’ll just have to wait. I’m also excited for the new tracking features.

@Vanya
The Neo I ordered last month still hasn’t arrived. Hopefully, it’ll be here next week.
