Obviously, Skydio 3 may someday include a decent camera, but for now, the Skydio is only suited to being the only game in town for filming hair-raising stunts automatically, although in lousy quality, or for surveying roofs and whatever other tricks it has that create schematic maps, not visual imagery. It is also a good, but overly expensive first training drone, since it is incredibly crash resistant, but a less expensive drone in an open field could serve as well.

The other main draw is the Evo Lite+’s 40-minute battery life, which is 9 minutes longer than the battery life of the Air 2S but 5 minutes shorter than what you get from the Mavic 3. We’ve found that a battery life of 30 minutes or so is usually plenty for us, but pilots who want to take advantage of the Evo Lite+’s 7.4-mile transmission range might find the full 40 minutes to be especially useful.

But DJI and Hasselblad did work together on a few features that are notable for a drone, including a large, 4/3 CMOS sensor that can work in lower-light conditions (the Air 2S, in contrast, has a smaller, 1-inch sensor). The companies also say that they adapted Hasselblad’s method for making colors look more realistic without your having to fine-tune any color settings. We found that the colors did indeed look truer and brighter than those in images from the Air 2S and the Mavic Mini. The Mavic 3 shoots 5.1K video at up to 50 frames per second with a 200 Mbps max bit rate (the processing speed at which the camera is recording digital media). In addition, you can set the aperture anywhere between f/2.8 and f/11, whereas the Air 2S has a fixed f/2.8 aperture.

The Mavic 3’s 20-megapixel, 5.1K camera carries the Hasselblad brand (a Swedish company known for medium-format cameras, which DJI acquired in 2017). Considering that this camera is as small as a fun-size candy bar, it can’t capture images of the same quality as Hasselblad’s larger cameras can.

DJI pushed bad software to the app store causing the drone to crash, they installed geofencing that prevented me from taking off in my own driveway, the drone sometimes would loose connection on takeoff and drift into trees. Don’t give your money to the CCP. Skydio 2+ is made in the USA and has the best obstacle avoidance system. While the DJI mavic 3 does have it there are a few reviews on youtube showing that it’s not quite up to par yet and they are only hopeful that firmware updates will fix it.

When you’re flying an expensive drone with an expensive camera on its belly, it’s a good idea to protect your investment from water, dirt, and other elements by using a dedicated landing pad. These pads tend to be a bright color, such as orange, making them a useful visual indicator for spotting home when you’re wearing an FPV headset. They also look more professional in videos (if you’re producing content for a client).
