Thinking about upgrading to Air 3S… Any regrets?

Buying Advice Forum

I’m considering upgrading from my Mini 4 Pro to the Air 3S. I’d love to hear from anyone who owns one—what’s your experience been like? Where did you buy it? Any tips or advice would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

I got mine from Adorama, and I don’t regret it at all. I live in a high-altitude area and often go up to 13,000 feet. The Mini is great, but it struggles with the wind and the battery drains fast up there. The Air 3S handles it all so much better, and the camera is incredible, especially at night and during sunsets.

Thanks for sharing! It’s a big purchase, so hearing feedback like this helps a lot. Did you ever consider ordering straight from DJI?

Just ordered mine from Amazon, but it’s being fulfilled by Adorama. It came with some extras, so I’m excited! I really needed a zoom lens—it was driving me crazy without one. I fly a lot at sunrise and sunset near the Arkansas River, and the digital zoom wasn’t cutting it anymore. Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for the help, everyone!

Super happy with mine. It’s great on mountain passes and handles wind like a champ. Most of my favorite shots so far have been with the 70mm lens.

I just got my Air 3S from the DJI website two days ago. About to take it out for my first flight in an hour when it’s brighter outside. Can’t wait!

Got mine yesterday, and that 70mm lens is a game changer. You won’t regret it. Go for it!

I ordered mine from Adorama and it arrived yesterday. Took it out this morning and again in the evening. I had the Air 2S before this, and so far I’m loving the better battery life and the new features. The 70mm camera is amazing—I can’t stop using it. Planning to do some color grading tonight to really dive into the image quality, but so far I’m really impressed.
