Hello! I recently bought a Mini 3, and I love it so much, but I wish I had more, so I want to upgrade to a bigger drone. I want something with more range and better quality. I'm open to the idea of other drones, but the ones that caught my eye are the Air 3 and the Mavic 3. I really like the Mavic 3 because I heard it has 28 times zoom on it, and I like to use the zoom feature. I also heard the Mavic 3 Pro has thermal vision, which I would love to have, but the price is crazy expensive. The Air 3, on the other hand, has better range but only 3 times zoom, though the price isn’t bad in my opinion. I usually just use my drone to watch people and chase cars around—consider me the neighborhood watch. So, what drone would you guys suggest I upgrade to?

Considering what you want to use the drone for and the fact that the Air 3 is on sale right now I'd say get the Air 3.

Also depends on what you can afford.

Maybe Air 3s if you can afford it. It came out not too long ago but has night time vision sensing/obstacle avoidance.
