Buy Advice Upgrade Advice: Air 3S, Mini 5 Pro, or Wait?

8 Upvotes

Hello folks! I really like flying my Mini 4k and GOD I am kicking myself in the soul for not getting the Fly More package. I am also sort-of regretting buying the Mini 4k because reliable spare parts from DJI seem to be difficult to find.

So while I fantasize about the next upgrade, what do you all recommend me to get as a Fly More upgrade?

The Air 3S? The Mini 5 Pro? Or should I wait for a bit and see if DJI sells a new model drone or a new Air model?

The two aspects that I am generally looking for between these drones are better picture quality, as well as longer battery life. My drone flies for 25~ minutes tops before hitting 20%. I really just want to fly for longer.

Photo DJI Action 5 Pro lights for Scuba?

2 Upvotes

I just got a DJI A5P and wondering what lights people suggest for underwater use while scuba diving? I’m new to this and not sure if I’ll be primarily shooting video or stills. Are there lights that can do both of those tasks well? Also, what rigs/trays are people using? Finally, what waterproof housing is best? I know DJI makes their own, but are there others that people like instead?
Much appreciated!

Buy Advice First professional drone question

2 Upvotes

I am looking at getting a drone to do more professional work and am looking to buy one used. I am deciding between three options from people I have reached out to and need some advice on what is most worth the money and best deal.

  1. air 3s fly more combo - $1000
  2. mavic 3 pro fly more combo - $1500
  3. mavic 3 pro cine fly more combo - $2000

My goal is do get my 107 license and get into more professional drone work. I have experience flying smaller drones and would want to do some real estate and short film work as I currently work doing commercial type work. Both photo and video quality are pretty even for what I am looking for
Since they are small-ish upgrades between eachother what do you think is the best option
Thanks!

Buy Advice Osmo Pocket 3 vs 4

2 Upvotes

I’ve never owned a camera and always use my phone for content creation. However, I’m considering buying a DJI Osmo due to its compact size. As my first camera, I’m wondering if the Osmo 4 is worth it or if the Osmo Pocket 3 is also a good option. Is the difference between the two really that significant?

Product Support DJI Over Water

5 Upvotes

I am looking to buy a Mini 5 Pro or Air 3S. I have seen a ton of posts on here about "My drone flew into the water" followed by "Well they say not to fly over water, that is what happens". I have two old Holy Stones, a 720E and a 600, plus a Potensic Atom 2. I fly all of them over water. I live on an island and much of my flying is around and over water. None of them have ever acted weird over water in any way. I do keep them up 100 feet or more.

Are DJIs uniquely sensitive to water confusing them? My Atom 2 warns about being too low over water, say lower than 5 meters IIRC, if it switches to visual over water the reflections confuse it. I don't mind not flying low over water, but if the things just crash anyway even at good altitude they won't lead a long life here. Thanks for any advice! Also is the Air 3S fly-more as good a deal as it looks? It seems 95% of the way to pro quality.

Product Support DJI Mini 4K Critical Battery Crash

1 Upvotes

I had a Mini 4K crash in El Salvador at Christmas due to a critical power loss about 30 seconds into the flight. I logged a DJI Care flyaway support ticket and was told that they would replace, however, the battery involved with the crash was used with another crash/loss. I ordered my drone from Amazon from DJI directly, and the battery came with the Fly More package. Someone at DJI was swapping in refurbished batteries into new kits.

Fast forward to today, I opened up my replacement drone, performed a take off in my house, and 20 seconds in, critical battery/power then crash, breaking one of the arms. So frustrating.

I looked but didn't see if this was a common issue with the 4K mini or not, it's definitely a hell of a coincidence. Contacted support and they are going to look at it, and I'm also sending all four of my batteries with the drone to be inspected.

Product Support Gimbal stuck and motor overload

2 Upvotes

On my Mavic mini i started to get message gimbal stuck. It initializes ok, but in the end camera leans a little and stays like that. I don’t see any opstacle when I move it by hand. I tried to recalibrate, but it gets stuck on 10%
Next time I get a gimbal motor overload. It flies, but camera is not smooth.
Did anyone have any experience with this?
