    Dang! I can’t believe how many of you want a waterproof drone! 😳

    • @RaduBogdan2k
      @RaduBogdan2k 6 місяців тому +5

      it really makes sense if you think about it, flying while snowing in the mountains could generate some awesome shots.

    • @Frederik.Balcaen
      @Frederik.Balcaen 6 місяців тому +6

      For someone who flies a drone because he/she likes drones, I can understand that waterproofing is not so important. From the point of view of a photographer or videographer who uses a drone as a tool - a flying camera - weather resistance is crucial. For landscape, wildlife and outdoor photographers weather proofing is a major selling point when they pick up a new camera or a lens. Changeable weather, stormy clouds, snow, fog and even rain give you the best conditions for epic or moody photographs. So yes, weather proofing is important.

    • @JustinWillerton
      @JustinWillerton 6 місяців тому +1

      It's when you have a downpour after you take off that I need protection from. Been a few cases where it looks fantastic scenery and you take off only for it to start raining 10 mins into the flight and you don't get enough time to land before it starts.
      Plus I'm from the UK,😁. It always grey and you can never tell when it will start raining. Which is most of the time😂

      @christopherjmartin 6 місяців тому

      I'd be interested in waterproof in case my drone crashes into water. Clouds, fog and lack of visibility almost always make flying in rain/snow against the 107 rules

  • @BardhokNdoji
    @BardhokNdoji 6 місяців тому +20

    I do disagree about one of your last points, weatherproofing. I do not want to fly on the rain but I do want that assurance that if there is all the sudden heavy rain, my drone will be just fine for a minute or so while I land it. There are some spectacular views just before storms with a small window of time to make recording possible. So, it is not about flying on a rain, is about being OK if you were caught on a rain while returning in it home. There is a bit of weather resistance they say on the Mavics but I never risk it. As for the other points, absolutely spot on. For me low light camera improvements would be one of the biggest wishes. Cellular connectivity would be amazing too (for my use not so much, but it would be amazing anyway) Battery life I think is pretty good as it is, but if they manage to increase the flight time without making the drones heavier, I am all up for that. Finally, excellent video as usual. Thank You.

    For flight over water, waterproofing has merit... Also "tiny air bladders" (inside the drone arms?) to keep it buoyant "just in case!" 😉

    Still sending prayers for your wife. Let us know when you have good news! And I'm still with you on a Phantom 5. I still love the form factor and they could easily put on beefed up cameras without the expense inherent on the on larger enterprise type drones like the M200-300+ series or the Inspire series. I love DJI but your competition point is extraordinarily valid. Keep up the good work!

      I actually use RID as a benefit. I fly in the front yard so that all Karens can see me & when they come up to tell me not to fly over their land I inform them that the Karen-apps offer my RID# to the public so they should report my behavior instead of harassing me about them not knowing how to read. My State has Privacy-laws written in such a harmful manner that it created a drone-hate-culture where even my Constable is telling people not to return crashed drones b/c the photos on the drone might be illegal, I think he & his Karens have hookworms in their brains.

  • @markkempton4579
    @markkempton4579 6 місяців тому +3

    As a photographer who flies almost exclusively at dusk or dark, I support bigger sensors, though I'm pretty happy with the m43 sensor we have now. I think an APS-C sensor would be hard in the current form factor, especially if you want to keep the multiple focal lengths. But I'm sure the technology exists, and I'd pay for it.
    I'd also pay for more weather resistance. As someone who came from the sports photography world, I didn't have a choice not to shoot in the rain, and it resulted in some of my best photos. I'd love the opportunity to do that from the air.

    Hey Russ, sending good vibes and prayers to you and your family. Thank you very much for the video and content.
    My list is more of a guess. First, an Air 3s with one inch sensor from pocket 3 but way better than the pocket 3's 9.1mp maybe true 20mp. 4k 60:4k100-200fps 1080p 400fps O4 transmision ect maybe O4+. Definitely some type of Avata 2 could be smaller. Maybe an RC Pro2 or more compatibly to the RC Pro. It's a great controller. Definitely LTE feature would be good, the Air 3 already has provisions inside for it. I'm sure there's stuff I forgot to add.

  • @butch3715

    Waterproofing (and the ability to float) is REALLY important to those who fly around water.

  • @alantay9409
    @alantay9409 6 місяців тому +1

    Great wish list. I want to add 2 more to your wish list:
    1. Fail proof 100% tracking capability. The mini 4 pro active track is pretty good but it is not 100% yet for my use. I do dog agility, a sports that requires the handler to run and to change directions and speed and positions on an agility course often and abruptly. Current active track 360 will lost track of me when the environment and my clothes don’t have great contrast, in low light situation or when there is lots of sun shadow.
    2. I also want a drone with a camera that use AI to zoom in and out (situational) on the tracked subject. Filming on a single wide angle lens is good when the subject is close to the drone but when the subject is at distance, I become a very small moving subject on the video.

    I would absolutely be flying in the rain if they gave me IP55 on a consumer drone. I actually really enjoy storm photography. It would also be great for those of us in areas that get snow for a significant portion of the year.

  • @troytmg
    @troytmg 6 місяців тому +1

    Good video, Russ. I think the technology has got to be available to let the pilot know how high the drone is above ground where it is at. At least within a few seconds or less. It would be nice to have that feature as well as height from take off point. I am also thinking that maybe DJI might offer a Mavic class drone on the O4 transmission system soon.

  • @dusi-labs1872
    @dusi-labs1872 6 місяців тому

    Nice thought and wants. With the DJI Avata - how about Avata2 and Avata2 mini? Then go with Air3c (cine), Air3s (sport), Air3R (rugged), and Air3L (lite or SE at lower price but same size)? The color options would be good. There’s already a market for stickers that cover the drone how you want. I look forward to what this year brings for drones. Nicely done!

    Good video, some interesting points. Good to watch someone who isn't constantly complaining about DJI drones. People want top end features for low cost prices. They'll pay 1800$ for an iPhone but want double the features on a drone for under 1000$. I've had 3 Sparks, 2 Mavic Pros an Air 2and currently an Air 2s, all bought mint condition second hand. But this year the Air 3s will be my first new drone.

  • @sinistergates6630
    @sinistergates6630 6 місяців тому +3

    I'd love to see something between the mavic and inspire, much like the way the M30 site between the mavic 3e and m350. And it could have a higher end camera like you already mentioned. Also, theres some vinyl stickers you can get to customize your drones, so if dji or other companies could partner up, then we'd be all set in that department .

    An Air3S would be great, I’m flying the air2S and loving it but it might be time to upgrade in the next year or so. I agree, weather resistant would nice for snow or light rain, just so it doesn’t get damaged when you’re trying to land and the weather comes on suddenly. I’m in so Minnesota it’s definitely possible, as you know being in the North Dakota.

    Looking forward to hearing back.
    Also Does it depend what drone you own…if you’ll only land a job… if you have the next biggest or Newest Drone Tech, like A Mavic 3 or higher? All I’m looking to do is Home & or Insurance Inspections…With all my certifications…Seems I have to be a Sales Rep for myself to land work…What California company is known to hire Drone Pilots instead of app jobs with little experience?

    I'd like to see more innovation in the controller. The joystick controllers are throwbacks from RC planes in the 80s.

    I only saw one other comment out of all these comments that mentioned it, but i really need skydio level tracking from DJI. As a solo creator doing motorcycle content, it is one of the most important features to me. The reason i am not selling my Air 2s, even though i really want the other features of the Air 3, is because Litchi with DJI does not work with the Air 3, and Litchi + Dji is the best solution i currently have for tracking me on my motorcycle. Concerning though that others, or you, really care about this. Tells me DJI probably doesn't care either.

    Hi Russ, I shoot still shoots primarily and I'd like less noise than the Air 3. I'd like 48M and no lag time to take another shot. When you're shooting a still of a moving object, you only have ONE chance to capture that image. Now, I hit the shutter release and wait while my moving object moves past the composition I'd like to have.

I'd love to have the option of a thermal camera and a Lidar sensor and not need two seperate drones. The thermal camera on the 350 is as much as an entire 30T and the size of the 350 is really a bit much for what I need it for.

    @bonobonorman9658 6 місяців тому

    My wish list… 1st: An orange drone looking like the DJI Avata FPV, but floating waterproofed (like the orange SPRY drone) fitted with several cameras on a DJI Avata “lookalike” drone that’s capable of “swimming” and take off from / land on water. Googles and controllers need not be any different from the Avata.
    2nd: A stereo microphone jack so the various drones can be used as remote controlled or handheld video recorders. Why not?
    3rd: A easy removable lens assembly so that various lenses can become available, including telephoto lenses.
    4th: A optional landing only pad that will communicate “here I am with IR.?” to the drone so it will perform a controller initiated precise landing on a moving boat or car. When landed it will be retained by a strong magnet. Only a landing pad so take-off by hand or from a “dumb pad”
    5th: The return button / stop button will also “freeze” the drone so it is more easy to hand catch.
    6th: Future mobile network 5G connection if legally possible. Probably not. :-(

    2. Maybe a camera that when detached from the drone could be used on a gimbal " pocket 3 style"
    This would make it easier to match the image from the drone with the ground based shots.

    E.g AEB in all panorama modes.

Got a DJI Mini 3 on Christmas Eve. My biggest complaint is the lack of lighting.

I am waiting for a mavic4pro to hopefully have a stacked sensor and of course it will work with this newer Occusync like in Air3 and Mini4. The signal is just perfect. But if I see Mavic 4 Pro to be a long wait, I might settle for some Air3s temporarily😅

      But that's something only a subset of buyers would want.
      In the US, it seems to me so many users drive to their location, then take off right from their car (well, truck, if we're honest). Sure, a hardcase makes sense in a scenario where you want to protect your drone when you throw it in the back of the truck and then don't have to lug it around.
      For me, while I sometimes do drive to my fly spot, I am rarely in a position to take off where I park up. For me, a soft shoulder bag or a backpack is the way to go. So, adding that cost to a fmc package, no thanks.

    So the waterproofing would be great for flying jobs when there is a possibility of rain or snow. I personally am waiting for the Air3s to releases this year. I specifically skipped the air3. I am expecting it to have the full 1 inch sensor double camera set up. That and the Mavic 3 classic will then be my main 2 drones. Unless they don’t upgrade the sensor in the air3s.

    As a nature photographer, I have to disagree about the importance of weatherproofing since some of the most dynamic light comes at the tail end or right after a storm. It would be nice to have the confidence to fly a drone in these conditions.

      I just bought a mini 4 for travel, but there seems to be a bit of compromise on the photo quality. I'm hoping for a 3s with better cameras and occusync 4. I think the problem dji has cornered its lineup with so many choices and trying to have the various products br different. That means limiting the camera on mini and now 3. Otherwise the 3 would cut into the newest mavic lineup

If they did that featuring a dual camera (one for fpv view) and a main camera for high quality imagery, it would be a very popular seller for filmmakers. Include gyro data in the files and it's everything that one could ask for in terms of a high quality hybrid FPV drone!

    I'm honestly really looking forward to the avata 2. I feel like the avata scratched an itch in the market for a different type of flying but had a number of easily fixable (but major) bugs that needed iorning out.
    An air 3 s would also be nice but I think that might be another year off given how recently the air 3 came out. I expect something will release that fills a similar price point and niche tho. Either a souped up mini with a better camera that puts it more on par with the air 3 or maybe a version of the mavic 3 that sacrifices multi camera for one big slightly better camera allowing for a lower price point and better image capture. I don't really expect a big game changer this year, I think honestly those will be sitting and waiting for some competition to emerge and for some of the drone laws to calm down/solidify.
    The big game changer drones I don't think we'll see this year but that I think are game changers are: 1. A small load cargo drone - Something that can lift and carry a few pounds of payload, this wouldn't mean much to the current drone market but would open up the practicality of drones to a number of additional use cases for people not currently flying. 2. A beyond visual line of sight drone, this will require better connectivity like you mentioned and will likely be a requirement for the small load drone to be useful as well, but it'll be waiting for regulations to solidify. 3. A hybrid drone that fills the space between the mini and the avata, something that can fly fpv but is foldable/has a better camera/gimbal for controlled flights. 4. An interchangeable camera system on a consumer/prosumer level drone, something that would let us use the same arial platform for a few years but buy a cheaper camera upgrade for the go faster stripes. Granted I don't see any of these features happening this year because the motivation and politics just aren't in the right place but I think these are the game changers that will shake things up the way foldables did.

    I’d like the 4G/5G capabilities. The DJI Air 3 has a built in compartment that appears to be ready for such technology. Not to take away the talents and abilities of responsible and safe drone operators, but to enhance the safety factor for those like me that aren’t so talented. Anything that can improve safety and the fears of a fly away are priorities in my book. I’d also like to see upgrade options for already existing drones. Personally, I’d pay a handsome fee rather than having to buy newer drones every year. But, that’s just my opinion 😊 Would like to add our prayers and well wishes for you and your family. Hope all turns out well 👍

      The Air 3 is indeed thus equipped, and those dongles have been on the market for a few years (mainly China). But my understanding is, they are for the live video feed, not the control signal.
      Also, VLOS regulations make this feature much less useful.
