I bought a new Air 3S and six months later, after an update, the drone would only go 100 meters away and stopped climbing at 50 ft until I signed in to DJI.
What one Redditor said
“I was in the same situation not long ago and ended up choosing the Air 3S. My main concern was wind resistance, since it’s often breezy where I live. After flying it, I can confidently say I made the ”

I am quite concerned about flying my Air3s now, lest the same thing happen as with the Neo.
I’ve had one incident with my Air 3s that was scary! A bird swooped up and hit my drone, knocking it off balance for a few seconds, but fortunately for me the strike didn’t cause any fatal damage!
That's a beautiful video I hope the Mini 5 Pro gets closer to the quality of Air 3s
I pray everyday that DJI gives the air 3s sdk support. I know it will not happen but I keep that hope.
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!
Hard to believe anyone is "prepared" to pay the duties, the Air 3S is not that expensive.
I claimed the exact purchase price with receipt to prove it. DJI AIR 3s fly more combo Which converted to USD was exactly $1450.
I literally got an air 3s from Korea on Amazon this month delivered by FedEx
Air 3s is takes high winds like a champ and still produces stable video
Yes, Air 3S is a lot better at wind resistance. It also has a more pleasing sound, a softer hum.
I have Air 3S, and Avata 2. I'd love the Mavic 4 Pro Creator Combo just for the telephoto lens alone.
I’m in this exact debate right now. My mini 4 pro got hit by a bird and is the bottom of a lake. I loved my mini for portability but now I’m considering getting an air 3s now
Air3s -You've got the telephoto lens,better stability and Lidar
Cropping into a vertical format on the Air 3s still looks amazing
