    Current PI student. Nice tutorial. Ordered an Air 3s today. It's actually backordered. Maybe I'll get it about the same time I get my license.

    Holy Mackerel I just stumbled across this and glad I did. Five days ago? And I missed it somehow. Pilot Institute Graduate and Member here. I got a 3S Fly More & RC 2 delivered like a month ago and haven't had it out yet at all. Just busy... Need to Retire... Thanks Greg and Happy Holidays Everyone! 🤠

    Hey Greg! You should definitely do a video on these drones over NJ !! Doesn’t every drone have to have a transmitter telling them exactly who owns and operates the drone? Lots of people want to know what you think about this topic!! I would think that would get a lot of views.

      @@raymondazpeitia1870 these mid tier drones don't have a variable aperture for light control, so sometimes your exposure is too high on a bright day, and you have to darken it with a filter. Especially if you want to have your footage have natural motion blur, where you have to run your shutter speed at double your frame rate. So 60fps = 1/120 shutter speed, etc. If you don't have the filter, then 1/120 is going to be too blown out/bright

    • @PilotInstitute
      @PilotInstitute  Місяць тому +2

      It comes with experience but in general rule, if you’re using manual settings, for video, it’s a good idea to use a shutter speed that’s double your frame rate. So 30 frame per second gives you 1/60 for the shutter speed. And use the lowest ISO possible.

    I live in West Virginia (mountain state). The Mini 4 Pro was my first DJI drone (also have a Autel Robotics and Ruko drone). At 400 feet I couldn't get out or my valley. I could see much further. Just couldn't get there. Then I read that the Mini 4 Pro was allowed to go to 1,640 feet in the US (all commercial traffic around here is at 35,000 feet). Now my line of sight area is miles using a strobe light at the bottom of the Mini 4 Pro mounted just forward of the battery (the propellers easily fold around it there). I'm retired and have the recreational license. My property is surrounded by 800 acres of government land (got permission to fly over their land).
    Couldn't get the Air 3s from DJI because US Customs kept holding it (a month per try). So I got a refund and Amazon finally has the Air 3s in stock, but only available with the RC-N3 controller which is fine as the Air 3s will be replacing the Mini 4 Pro (will re-bind my existing RC2). Also have the Goggles and Motion Controller 3 from my Avata 2.

      It’s so odd how some have no issue receiving their orders whereas others are like you. I ordered my Air 3s on a Friday and it was delivered on Monday around noon. I fully expected to have issues as soon as many have experienced but I didn’t. What I found out though and this might not pertain to your order but holds true for plenty of others. That’s being it appears issues come up more when the airport that’s used for entry into the US is also located close to a shipping port. Like in NY/JFK, LAX, as well as MIA-Miami Fl. I’m in the Dallas metro area and my order went from DJI to Atlanta, Atlanta to Houston, Tx, Houston to DFW-Dallas. Hopefully yours will get cleared soon! Tracking info was excellent and my order actually cleared US Customs while in route to Atlanta. The regulations state orders under $2500 US aren’t suppose to be held up but that’s not the case with plenty of others that have ordered, good luck!!

      Hoping yours gets cleared through customs soon! I was planning to order the Air 3S Fly More Combo in 7-8 months but after the elections, I didn't want to wait. So I ordered mine through a retailer in Ontario, Canada. They shipped out promptly and I got mine here in Las Vegas in 7 days. It never got delayed in customs. Mine went by way of Canada-Michigan-Wyoming-Illinois-Nevada.

    Hi Greg, did the box stay on the screen when you stopped the active track? If so, how do you get rid of it?

  • @SangheiliSpecOp
    @SangheiliSpecOp Місяць тому

    A note btw, if you use air 3 batteries on the air 3S, thats fine, but I believe it disables the feature where Bluetooth stays on for 12 hours after you power the drone off for file transfers. The battery capacities are ever so slightly different as well.
    Edit: I did confirm this is true from other reviews and DJI's own website

      For my Air 3s, it was held up in Customs for over a week. I was first asked to supply my social security number (which I did). In the second week Customs sent me an email requesting proof that the contents of the shipment were not produced, wholly or in part, with forced labor. "Supporting documentation should trace the supply chain from point of origin of the products to the production and processing of downstream products to the merchandise imported to the United States." I had a week to provide the documentation or the shipment would be returned to DJI. I contacted DJI and their team followed up with me within 24 hrs. Turned out Customs then requested a physical inspection of the package which would take 2 to 3 months. DJI offered me a refund which I kindly accepted, then purchased the Air 3s from Adorama and I had it in 2 days.

    DJI Air 3S could have been the best Drone ever if only it had Aperture control....nobody wants hassle of using ND filters like we in 1920...you spend that money, you expect to have, as a basic, Aperture control. every $200 camera has it.

It’s available in $200 cameras and should be available in any DJI drones, as it’s considered the basic of basics of camera control
