AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY UPGRADE
AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY FULL

So congratulations are due to DJI for sticking a 1-inch sensor in the DJI Air 2S, providing a significant upgrade in image quality and dynamic range compared to a lot of other drones on the market. Non-camera devices with cameras on them, such as drones, tend to be held back by having annoyingly small sensors.

Read our full DJI Mini 3 Pro review (opens in new tab) for more details But if you want to save, consider the newer less-expensive DJI Mini 3 (opens in new tab), which is very similar but lacks collision sensors and DJI’s pilot assist. The only downside is the pricing is, inevitably, broadly comparable to similarly capable aircraft (like the Air 2, which came in at 570g). The message is clear: we’re not going to let the weight restriction prevent creatives from achieving their goals. There will also be a choice of batteries, with a heavier long-life battery available in some markets (though this will push the take-off weight over the magic number). The DJI Mini 3 arrived in May 2022 and redefined what DJI was doing with the ultra-light category prior to that point neither of their offerings had any collision sensors but with this launch, they not only added sensors in three directions but created a new camera gimbal capable of turning to capture portrait images.Īt the same time, a new ‘DJI RC’ remote control became available, giving customers the choice of a model with a screen to save the (fairly minimal) fuss of connecting a phone). These have been made easier to grasp by aviation authorities, which is good, but that means enforcement is more common. Then there’s also the fact that intelligent flight controls are getting better and better, making drones so easy to fly that even a total novice can pick up the basics in minutes.Īt the same time, there are rules and responsibilities that come with drone flying. One of the biggest changes since the early days is the improvement in camera technology with larger sensors, better video resolutions, and improved stabilization systems powered by onboard gimbals (it’s hard to imagine now, but early drones didn’t have stabilized cameras).
