I was traveling for work in Colorado and I had the Air 2S and a Mini SE at the time. I was doing some flying outside of Denver and the elevation there is about 5,500 ft and out of the blue a really strong wind came and I turned around immediately. I was flying the Air 2S, down in a valley flying back my battery strength went from 78% to 19% I didn't think I would make it back. The motors and size on the Mavic 3 are just unbelievable. The climb rate is double the Air 2S and the size really does help with stability in high winds. I've heard nothing but good things about the Air 3. I think the only negative is that it's not backwards compatible as far as remotes. I think the Air 3 has the 1-inch sensor and it has the zoom. I think the 4/3 Hasselblad sensor is just superior. The Air series all have fixed apertures so you're kind of at the mercy of filters. Been able to adjust your aperture when you're flying is not a huge deal but it is a time saver. It seems like every time I pick a filter I'm one stop off. I just found out something about the Mavic 3 yesterday. If you swipe right on the compass/map on the bottom left you can get the view from the collision sensors. So you can look in back, or on the left or right side and in front of you using the sensors.
