Get a nice one. At least an Air 3S if not a mavic pro.

Air 3s is a C1 drone, it's locked to 500m.

r/djineutral5

In Armenia my Air 3S can go up to 1000 meters

What changed for c0? I have an air 3s and a mini 3 pro, did some rules change for c0?

The air 3S, I got lucky as the original owner bought a 2 year plan in April 2025. They will honor that plan. :)

All of that, and it’s hard to call it used when it had a total of 4mins flight time. 😀

Air 3s and Mini 5pro are the best drones for the money. It also depends on what you expect out of the drone. The Air 3S flys better in high winds due to it's weight.

The Air 3s and Mini 3 Pro are the best bang-for-your-buck prosumer drones you can buy right now, in my opinion.

I'm buying the Air 3s so I can chase down reports of smoke sightings this summer for the fire district where I'm a volunteer. ...the 3s superior handling of winds, the night time flying capability, om

Also have the Air 3S so it always makes me happy seeing gorgeous shots knowing that I can possibly create something equally beautiful 😁

Just bought a air3s fly more combo for $1200 NEW

Based on my albeit limited time with the Air 3 so far, you're going to love the Air 3S. Getting it for free is fantastic!

r/djineutral3

Hard to believe anyone is "prepared" to pay the duties, the Air 3S is not that expensive.

r/djineutral11

I claimed the exact purchase price with receipt to prove it. DJI AIR 3s fly more combo Which converted to USD was exactly $1450.

r/djineutral2

I literally got an air 3s from Korea on Amazon this month delivered by FedEx
