If you don't buy eco flow then you're just ummmmm you choose
Gotta make an update video on this DJI is expandable now, has an app, and a 1Kw car charger. Probably beats the Delta now.
The Tiny Baby reference makes me smile every time!
The DJI is expandable using the Power Expansion Battery 2000. you can daisy chain up to 5 of them.
I went with the dji 1000 it’ll be delivered today.
This is an update about receiving my DJI 1000 it’s amazing, its quality is amazing and quietly when charging they are not lying about how quiet this DJI 1000 PRODUCT really is. I didn’t need this DJI but I just wanted to have one for fun I hope it comes in handy.
$380 today go for price match
That's the exact reason I purchased it, I just wanted one and hopefully I can find a good use for it. LOL
I paid $380 so there's no comparison.
@@EricK-tb2dn That's what I paid, and I absolutely love it. I'm sure I would love the Eco-Flow just as much, but I know the DJI name and I trust it.
Everyone from the car channel misses u robbie
Why did he switch from cars to generators?
I bought a Delta 2 in the summer when the refurb model dropped under $500. I wanted more backup capacity during brownouts and short blackouts while I work from home. But I just added the DJI Power 1000 to keep in my car. I could not beat the price of $480 during October Prime Days. I am a photographer who flies multiple DJI drones, so the SDC ports were the selling point. I can charge my Mavic 3 batteries about 50% faster than with the high-speed 120V charger. I can now charge Mavic batteries faster than I can consume them, and I have the USB-C ports for my Mini batteries and the 120V for my Canon chargers. This thing is never leaving my car, and my camera and drone batteries can now stay with it. Very convenient for someone who shoots or flies most days!
In addition, the USB-C ports on the DJI are rated for 140W. I have not seen that throughput on any other unit yet.
On the negative side, the fact that you have to pay extra for the cigarette charger or 12V power source and for the solar adapters is a little irksome. I also wish it came with the carry bag. Lastly, you hit on the annoying fact that the SDC ports are tied up if you're charging from 12V or solar. But it's still a perfect fit for my work style.
@@markkempton4579 usb 140watt ports are on several devices now including the $150 Anker 300 DC. I use it to to power my MacBook all day on tripod/laptop platform
With the Bluetti AC180 still going for $500, that's been my recommendation for several people who've had power outages lately - they're never going to go camping or get solar panels - they're never going to expand. All they want is a way to power their fridge, maybe run a laptop and charge their phones, and then charge from their car if they're still without power when the battery dies. It has a few more watt hours than either of these for at least $100 less (for now). If it doesn't have as many plugs on the front, who doesn't have a power strip laying around?
I appreciate your content. I just recently started getting into solar for some emergency backup and bought the delta 3 plus (it arrives tomorrow). I have been a fan of DJI and own several of there other products and love them so may end up picking up one of these as well eventually. thanks again.
I fly drones but it's not a big part of my life. My main reason for wanting a power supply was more for a backup for whatever I wanted to do, but I still went with the DJI. The main reason for this was because I knew about the DJI employees starting EcoFlow and even more so I was able to pick up the DJI on Amazon on a black Friday sale for $419 with a $40 coupon making it $380 and I couldn't pass at that price. The EcoFlow was very close in price at $399, but I just felt safe with the DJI. In terms of plugging in more than 2 outlets I have already tried a power strip and it works just fine, so that's a quick fix for that issue and I love how freaking quiet it is! The main issue with the DJI for me is the lack of other outputs like the accessory output like whats in a car and the ability to plug in solar panels directly to the unit. I have already purchased the add-on for the solar panels for $59 and some basic solar panels from Amazon so we'll see. I have until January to return it, but I think I am going to be more than happy with it!
So I am wondering here, why are we worried about amount of plugs on these power units when all you have to do is use a multi outlet strip. You are only going to pull about 15 amps for these devices at any one time anyway. Help me understand this? I have a Honda generator and it only has two plugs, but I can use a multistrip outlet and plug in as many appliances as I want, just can't run them all at the same time. Can we do the same with these solar gen/battery units. I like the ecoflow by the way.
Honestly, this is what I do. I use an EcoFlow as a UPS for my computer system and router and Internet. In case of power failure, I'd quickly shut down my main system, leave my work system running (if applicable) and leave the router and Internet running. If it's all running, total wattage is around 200. Reducing to just work system and Internet/router, I'm down to 50. Post work, 15 watts.
If I move it to run the refrigerator, then I just pull out the Internet plug and that goes down temporarily. I'd buy several, but...expensive.
@@BronzeDragon133 Love your comment, sounds like you got it figured out also.
Im really hoping for an update for the 3+ to get the fan to run faster
@@ngk330 same here.
You don't mention anything about the overheating issue with the Delta 3. Did that get resolved or are you recommending it with the overheating issue?
yes, inquiring minds would like to know about follow-up.
I just spent an evening testing mine, cycling between constant heavy loads and fast charging at max speed. The delta 3 plus stayed room temperature and quiet the entire time. Zero overheating. Shipment was delayed by half a month, I'm wondering if they did a firmware update before sending out the first batch.
@@burd79 that's great to know!
It has been resolved. He states this in a former video. Stating Ecoflow sent him another Delta 3 and that the previous one was faulty. He has not had any issue with new one.
I use the 12v to power my compressor for airing up after a weekend on the trail.
I chose not to waste $699.. I did the Black Friday deal and got it for $299 with the $99 DJI carry bag added for free .. Many sites still have that combo for $499
Can't find that deal anymore
oh wow, 299?? with the bag? i saw 379. without the bag. which region or state was this?
They just released an expandable battery for the dji
And app support
I've been shopping for a new power generator and I am leaning toward DJI. But not for the reasons you stated because I view DJI as a great software developing company that will continually innovate and expand their current/future products. EcoFlow has been and will continually be expanding their product line but in comparison to DJI, and this is my opinion: there is no comparison in software design/development. I admit I'm a bit biased because I own several DJI drones that have reliable kept flying but their track history of camera's, microphones, and now power generators is continually going to win more market share. The Power Expansion 2000, Fast Car Charger, and other SDC outlet accessories are only going to continually get better and more plentiful.
dji have 5 max expansion. maybe not avaibale at video creation. also an app but it nees an adapter and use 1 of the special ports
How long can it power AC of 1.5HP??
Time to do an updated video. Many items discussed are no longer accurate.
The ground isn't a ground unless you have plugged into the wall
Even then a ground is a neutral.
Given the typical use case, I assume most portable battery power stations bond the neutral. I'd hope the "whole house" ones do not.
@BillyBobDingledorf actually the neutral is bonded to ground in primary panel but not in a sub panel
@@FewerOptions-mx7qt I understand. Most portable battery power stations aren't intended to connect to a panel, so I expect they'd be internally bonded.
My moderate gas generator isn't bonded, so I made a bonding plug. If I ever connect to the panel, I'll pull the plug. Why portable generators don't include a simple switch is beyond me.
Lol
On a completely unrelated topic, the videos I would like to also see on The Solar Lab are about all the "solar" devices like the "2,700mah solar rechargeable battery bank" with a 2 watt panel on it or the "solar rechargeable flashlight" with a 0.1 watt panel or any of the myriad or other devices online "preppers" are pushing because of Amazon Affiliate links. PLEASE debunk some of this stuff! At least set reasonable expectations.
With proprietary ports the DJI is only useful for people already on the DJI ecosystem unfortunately. Was going to buy it, but I dont want more weird cables.
DJI claims 23db, but at what charge rate 🤔
Thought the Ecoflow Delta 3 Plus is rated 4000 Cycle Discharge to 80% and the DJI has 3000 cycle?
Now DJI power 1000 also can get a 2KWH battery.
Also the DJI also has more solar input then the DJI contrary to to what is stated here
I have a generator inlet that can power my house if I choose the loads selectively. We live in a rural area where outages can and have lasted for days. Having a gas generator running continuously is required for power. Does anyone make an inverter generator with a 5KW battery that will cycle on an off as needed the same way a hybrid car operates?
Does this channel ever reply to questions in their videos?
Update on the overheating issue is requested by many of us!
They deemed our unit faulty, and sent us another one. The new one seems to be working as expected! Update has been posted to the original video!
Does it have to be an extra battery or can you connect two main Delta power stations together?
Power 1000 is expandable now.
Has the high heat issue concerning the fans been addressed on the Delta3?
This was a concern from your other video. Was it a defect in your tested unit or one concerning all the Delta3 units?
@@xraykadiddlehopper8067 I want to know this as well. I'm afraid to purchase until there has been an update. The cells being IP rated makes me think cooling could become a chronic issue with the D3P
Do they allow you to use the app without logging in to China? This was a complaint in the beginning of Eco-Flow.
No one mentions that one locked out server could make your expensive Eco-Flow device inaccessible.
We just saw recently how Starlink got turned off in NC because our own Big Brother (not Elon) pulled the plug.
I wonder what all is not usable from this device if you could not use the app. Can it be set up if you don't have internet access?
I'm really impressed with this unit so far from all I've seen. I love that they kept the 5521 barrel jacks. They are so useful for small devices like PTZ cameras, fans, and lights. I think it's crazy that the mfg's keep removing the barrel plugs and even the car lighter plug.
You didn't mention that cooling issue you discovered with the Delta 3. Has it been fixed?
When you charge the power 1000 with AC at 1200w, can you still draw 2000w from it to run other appliance? Thanks!
Does the DJI let you solar charge and use AC at the same time. And does is have the same problem with the fan and ober heating like the ecoflow
Bought the DJI one, yes you can solar charge it while using the AC. haven't got an Ecoflow but so far no noise or overheating issues with the DJI power. Would say it's a good purchase.
Where can I find that adapter? Is it available yet?
What is the difference between the Ecoflow Delta 3 and Ecoflow Delta 3 PLUS?
The delta 3 plus has two seperate solar inputs and a couple of other features
@@asimchillify Thank you for that information.
@@asimchillify I only see Delta 3 Plus on the web site. You sure there is a Delta 3? It is nowhere to be found....
U completely failed to mention all the expensive dongles and clunky accessory cables u have to buy for the DJI to use it like a normal power generator with those features built in, and the sacrifice u make when trying to charge from solar panels while running other DC devices, and that the the DJI is only actually a 750 watt hour generator due to power loss inefficiency.
What a joke of a review...
I am just now looking into solar, power stations, etc and realizing that like a space heater will kill a power station in hour with use. WTH Dumb me was thinking that people are paying $$$ thousands, it must really be nice sh$$ -- stuff. To me, that is completely worthless. I have been without power for 4 days in Texas, those bonuses are more important than our grid, so this is no good. At least my gas generator lasted for a whole night. Am I missing something here? What is the hype about?
Understandable. It is marketing hype. These power stations do have some advantages but one has to be cognizant of wattage. For an example, these could run electric blankets and lights and your Wifi during an outage. It can also run your refrigerator as well...how so? Remember refrigerators cycle - they can stay off for 1 hour and then turn back on. Anything that produces heat or has resistive operation (i.e. hair dryer) is not going to fare well with these generators. Key point during power outage is this...rationing! The goal is to preserve gas and propane reserves until grid comes back on. To me the power station is best for nighttime. No noisy generator and no worries about theft. Use generator to charge up battery bank and then turn off generator and put it away. Use battery bank to run whatever you need at night. Refrigerator, CPAP machine, light ,wifi, etc. Make sense? I feel your pain...Ecoflow, DJI, etc. they all are like circus barkers....
Got the DJI for $400
Do you think the Delta 3 would work as a backup for my 0.5 horsepower basement sump pump?
What is the LRA (Locked Rotor Amps) or inrush/surge current? Most induction motors draw a very large inrush current for a short time (under 1 sec). Will the Delta 3 + inverter see the inrush and shutdown? If so, you are outta luck.
EcoFlow.Its function design is great.But the price is also known.
The Ecoflow is rated to 4000+ cycles. If youre going to try help folks, please get the info straight. It right on their website. But its (The Eco) also SO new and untested by the masses that I think the comparison is premature. The DJI product has been out for a while.
Tiny Baby ❤❤❤❤❤
Bro, I like microwaves I wish you would’ve finished that. I want to put this in my van so I can warm up food and run my fridge.:(
:(
All in one inverter and a 48 volt battery wouldn’t that be a better deal then burying one of these solar generators ?
But less portable.
EcoFlow has another advantage that you failed to mention. If you are using it as a UPS and there is an outage and you have it connected to a residential fridge and the battery is drained before power is restored, when power is restored it will remember that the fridge is connected to the AC outlet and will turn on the AC outlet to run the fridge again. Great video as always.
That's a really nice attention to detail
How do we know the DJI doesn't do this as well?
@@jstyl3z Many inverters power stations don't have that function in the software. You manually have to turn on the AC ports again even though the unit is being charged.
DJI power 1000 is marketed as a UPS too
Never understood the need for multiple power outlets. You can just have a standard extension cord.
One cord can only carry so much power.
Often they have a 15 or 20 amp load per receptacle, where an extension cord is limited to the load of that one receptacle.
Jackery 5000 Plus vs Anker F3800.. who wins ?? Need a video review with the specs
Jackery wins that one easy 7200w vs 6000w inverter. 5040Wh vs 3840Wh battery capacity. 5200w vs 2400w solar input. All those things are in favor of Jackery. It seems as if Jackery copied Anker and made some improvements. Didn't mean to say that loud 😕
Jackery loses to everything
@@Raznak not on this one though the jackery 5000 is better than the anker f3800 . Yes other jackery products are terrible just not this one
@@DIY_versus i used their smaller units, the $/w is very bad compared to the competition for smaller units atleast
@@Raznak yes I agree jackery is usually pricey for what they offer. I just recently reviewed their new explorer 2000 V2 and wasn't impressed. But the specs for the new 5000 are impressive comparing to the anker f3800 and the price is not bad either
So, for all but 12 people watching this video...the EF is cheaper and better in pretty much every measurable category?
EcoFlow Delta 3 Plus for me. I ordered last month with alternator charger. To bad the new batteries are not available yet. Good stuff, great solar input, lite weight, better form factor with relocation of fans, side dc port etc. 🌴
Got mine today. Charged to 100% plugged my phone into the 140w usbc port and phone says its charging at super fast charging. Didn't even know that was a thing
The extra battery is on the website now, i ordered one yesterday.
DJI seems like an overpriced battery charger for DJI products. It's worthless to a van lifer or, in my case, a truck camper.
Honestly, I feel like the new V2 Jackery are the best. I just got the 2000wh v2 for $960 after tax everything with the same capacity is at least $1000 before tax so that’s easily 100+ dollars right there another thing Jackery is beating them is in weight the eco-flow is 50 pounds for the 2000 W hour in the blue Eddie is like 60 pounds where as the Jackery is 40 pounds for the same capacity that’s a big difference if you have to take it in a restaurant or something. Plus they have the new batteries so they last 4000 lifecycles so I mean overall I think the Jack version two is doing pretty well.
You can get two DJI 1000s for that price if you catch the $370 sale price.
Gold standard? Yeah, except during cold weather. They shut down 14 degrees and lower. Pointless.
DJI situation with the Gov't could get worse... Aside from that, I love your honest reviews guys. Other creators have done a head to head, but check the video for the "paid promotion" tag and you'll see it's sponsored by DJI 😅
No light, no deal
That's your dealbreaker? I guess we all have our needs.
What's it like to make a video and have a lot of the facts you've stated be made incorrect almost immediately? Hahaha!
The only reason ecoflow was put into the video was to get views. You know this comparison makes no sense.
You can't just hook solar up to the DJI. You have to buy the optional, external, charge controllers. ($60 each)
First lol
