DJI Air 3S vs DJI Mavic 4 Pro
The Mavic 4 Pro is the better drone for serious photographers and videographers: a 4/3 Hasselblad main camera, three focal lengths, 360° gimbal and 51 minutes of flight. The Air 3S is the smarter pick for most hobbyists: lighter at 724 g, easier to carry and fly, with a 1-inch main sensor, LiDAR-assisted sensing and 45 minutes. Owners rate the Mavic 4 Pro higher (4.7 from 402 ratings vs 4.2 from 28), but it weighs 1,063 g and is a bigger, more demanding aircraft.
- Choose the DJI Air 3S if you want a lighter, simpler drone with a 1-inch main camera, dual lenses and long flight time for travel and everyday aerial shots.
- Choose the DJI Mavic 4 Pro if image quality and lens range matter most and you will use the 4/3 Hasselblad sensor, 168mm tele and 360° gimbal for photo or video work.
