Shot this between a Mavic 3 Pro and Air 3. Was a very windy day, around 25kmph winds at 50 meters up so drones were in a very terrible angle while shooting. Can you tell which is from the Air 3 and Mavic 3 Pro? Also find the UFO

Pretty sure the first is the Mavic. The Air 3 is much more stable. Quality is comparable.

Despite the windy conditions still turned out to be an impressive timelapse.  I'm going along with Mobilehomer saying first part is the Mavic 3 Pro.  Watched twice and still didn't see the UFO.  

Hi,

Do you really think the Air 3 looks more stable? I thought t=it was a little twitchy in the wind compared to Mavic 3

They handle pretty well in wind. The air 3 was almost at a 30 degree angle while shooting

Haha I would never have figured which type it was.

Am I correct in which is which?

I was impressed with how both performed in that windy condition.  One thing that I found out quickly about the Air 3 was how fast it can ascend and descend.

Hey Suren, are you in the North or the South Island?

I also noticed that the Air 3 is very nippy. Gets around quickly. For its small size compared to the Mavic 3, it handles very well and is very stable.

  I'm super impressed with the capabilities of the Air 3, even more since we got vision assist added on.  

Before I get too inebriated, dance on the bar, lose my phone, get naked and get arrested, let me wish you a Happy New Year!

I was looking at the weather ATM and it seems that the wind has been beautiful for the past few days..

We got hit by a mini cyclone just last week... Crazy weather....

Yeah, I saw that Aussie had some terrible weather with more on the way. Ours has not been the greatest as well, sun and wind then rain then sun. The beauty of living in NZ - multiple seasons in 1 day

Thanks Suren.  I survived the wildest New Year's eve party ever and didn't get arrested.

That's good news then.. Hopefully 2024 will be a good year

So far it has started off really well. I was called by a company that rents boats to see if I could dive and find one of their sunken rental boats.  Used two tanks on day one with no luck.  Day two I took my underwater metal detector and found it in about 20 minutes at a depth of about 1 meters of water.  They have contracted a salvage company to come raise it up off the bottom and bring it to them.  So I got a really nice finder's fee.  

Coming back in off the dive I found a really cool R/C boat.  It has a mini-jet engine.  No owner markings on it anywhere.  Local law enforcement have no record of it being reported lost or stolen.  So I'm taking it to this store that sales and repairs R/C boats, cars and planes to see if it is salvageable.

Nice find. I have always contemplated buying a RC Boat, maybe put a bait release on it for some fishing

Interesting that you said that as I was thinking that would be a good use for a R/C boat.  I've got a couple of Traxxas R/C cars and they are a blast to mess around with but haven't picked up a R/C boat yet.  

I took the R/C boat that I found to a local hobby shop.  They pulled the serial number and found out they had sold it so they are going to try to contact the person who bought it.  They said the jet motor is trashed but the rest of the boat is okay.  Hopefully, he'll appreciate me finding it for him.

Nice comparison video Suren, I thought the 1st on was the M3Pro. Both did well in those conditions. Are you in auto settings?

Nice one, hopefully the owner is happy. I also have 3 RC Cars, they shoot up to 100km/h but they are very light and flips on bends. I need to add weight onto it.

I've flipped mine more times than I can count.  My favorite truck I like taking to the beach and sand dunes is the Traxxas T-Maxx 3.3.  It's a 4 wheel drive beast and can plow through loose sand easily.  It was made more for hill climbing and tearing around the sand but it will still do a respectable 50 mph.  Here's a shot of the beast.

Nice timelapses.
I did not spot the difference nor the UFO

I love the Traxxas as they are well made, durable and fun little beasts.  Unfortunately, they can get to be an expensive hobby rather quickly.
