- The Cogito Specta Air is an Impressive drone, every bit of the DJI Air 3, except for that one thing... I talked with DJI and Cogito to get the scoop. It's Specta BTW, not Spectra, though Spectra sure rolls easier off the tongue... 😎

Officially DJI are not part of this new company but we all know they are, possibly so they can get around the US ban?
Thinking the same! It's a DJI drone in disguise.
Not likely, ban is on ALL drones (and parts!) coming from China.
💯
Officially It's ALL CCP Controlled.
Its a DJI product but made in malaysia to get around the ban
If it looks like a DJI, and flies like a DJI, then it's a Cogito! 😂
*That's right Chris! Just because you put lipstick on a pig, it is still a pig. Plus, I found another article online that shows further analysis. Is that a Chevy pickup or a GMC?*
Same interface, same voice, same controller, same design… it’s DJIs answer to the US Ban
Nope. The ban, as currently worded, is on ALL drones (and parts!) coming from China.
My thoughts exactly
U cant copy , Drone , packaging , remote and software on at once , its obviously DJI behind this, you start a new company who ill sell your drone even against the law so you cant be strike as a big company who sales drone but also mic or camera who isnt banned too
Exactly 💯 DJI is going through a NATO country to get into the USA to keep from the DJI ban
@@Hat_Uncle DJI and autel are the main targets.but you are right I don’t know why DJI don’t sell to a USA Company.it’s sad that they are so much better than us. Why don’t they ban All cell phones I think that is a bigger issue than Drones. oh wait we can’t make them better or cheaper either what a joke,,,,
Yeah, this has to be a DJI licensed/approved product. There's no way a company could get away with cloning all the hardware and software without that DJI approval. The consensus appears to be a way to get around a possible ban on DJI products sold in the USA. I don't blame them one bit for doing this if our government is going to be stupid enough to ban DJI drones in the USA.
What's worse is people stupid enough to buy DJI products that have such ridiculous restrictions and controls of what you can do with you personal property.
@@Kycirion You're preaching to the choir. I despise the geoblocking DJI uses. I also hate that I have to login to DJI before leaving the house with my tablet I use with the RC. This is very much a CCP mentality.
firstly dji have no chance whatsoever to make sure anyone else who sells a direct copy of their drone needto stop due to copywrite etc. its all china and china have no such thing as copywrite, the ydo not care if A has a drone and B has a drone that is identical. this one simply saying the battery is not correct is good enough to pass all the laws you might think needed.. have you seen the chinese BMW that china says is nothin gat all like a bmw ? go check them out..... but i would say someone in dji has opened his own company for this.. and to me looks good.
@@philldownes8685Interesting theory. Some of it is plausible.
Looks exactly like my dji Air 3, except without the 'dji' logo.
in short, DJI, fearing a ban on its drones in the United States, decided to produce its drones under a different brand. The technologies are the same, and money from sales will go back to DJI.
Agreed, and Cogito drones are just as expensive as DJI 😁
@@jakupmadsen490 agree cause DJI would have sued
Why would the US ban a DJI drone? Are they scared of competitive marketing and equal business tuff?
@@JoshConnectMedia What kind of competition are we talking about if UA-cam is blocked in China? And China blocked it for the sake of developing Chinese social networks.
@@poletkolibri UA-cam is literally not blocked in China . It’s the other technicality sir .
Yes do a complete review i’m interested 😅
Excellent video! Thank you 👍
Thanks for sharing!
Yes we want to know more.
I like the set up
Really nice drone cool review
Thanks! 👍
Nice. Thanks for sharing brother. God bless
Thanks for watching
Yes I would like to see an in-depth video and a comparison to its dji twin
best comments ever regarding service and support... the one thing that has crippled the drone industry from day one.
Thanks! I call 'em like I see 'em 😎
I hope they make mini4 aswell
Only a couple minutes in so maybe this will be explained by end of video but... the control/app screen looks IDENTICAL to the DJI interface? This an early April fools?
I think DJI selling Air to this company now. This company is patenting names. While there's no copyright laws in China. I highly doubt company make such an identical one. Video, flight time, shape, sensors are like all the same.
I think might be like dji made the vista but caddx had the selling rights under caddx name. Now runcam has that deal. They call it runcam link but it's still made in dji factory
@@divingfalconfpv4602 That would make sense. I could fully appreciate another company copying DJI hardware bolt for bolt, but to have the software be nearly identical as well throws me if there isn't a direct connection.
no simply a chinese clone... the chinese clone all sorts from spark plugs to motor cycles to to cars . look at the hindo 50 and the chinese knock offs, yo ucan swap over every single part...
Good to see a new alien 👽 drone video ❤
Great footage
Thank you kindly
Thank you for the review, but you mentioned nothing about the photography that it can take, does it have a fixed aperture?
awesome tutorial :)
I loved the idea of this. great Video! As a Mavic 2 Zoom, Mvic 3 and MAvic 3 Pro Owner, still found this to be a very well made video... Great going buddy! Hello my drone people out there.. We are Family! This is the Way!
Thank you for the kind words!
Well if it quacks like a duck -- I would probably look at this drone quite hard as there is only a $400 difference between it and the Air 3. I have been looking at the Air 3 and would consider this drone as well. Keep up the good work and please do more indepth on this drone.
DJI for sure 💯
Interesting! Perhaps a worthy competitor to DJI? Might they have the same China problem in Hongkong that DJI does? Pretty exciting!
Hey! He's back doing drone reviews 🔥
Did I stop? Maybe I forgot... 😎
Just in case anybody was wondering the DJI air three foldable landing gear for the air three fits on the Specta
I need a drone like this
One question.. when this drone hits something CAN you repair it.. are there spare parts.. how will work on it...I'll have to wait to see where they go
They have released the mini 4 or 5 pro, but not yet out for sale 😮
I would love to review this drone. How did you get one for review?
This is an odd new development. The big question is why? Alien Drones - was this purchased by you or did they send it for video review?
Amazing rth landing
Indeed, one of the best I've had. Had a couple others that search for the landing pad do this well, makes me wonder if it did a pad search and just didn't report it as the camera did point down during landing then pointed back out again a few feet off the ground.
Does this drone have geo fencing?
Seems like a great machine. One question occurred to me. When you flew the drone toward you it maneuvered around you. What does it do if you hover it and walk towards it? Does it back away? Go up? or nothing?
It goes sideways
I will definitly consider this as my 3rd drone.
It is a nice drone, hope they get the site and support up soon...
Cool video bro. Crazy a drone like this exists DJI bit not lol😅
DJI!
I may have missed it in the video but did you have to create an account and activate the Specta Air?
Yes.
Great review. Does it have 10 bit log footage?
I hate the update in the constant calibrating I wonder if they fix this on this one
Pronounced: Cogg’-ee-toe, as in cogito ergo sum. A latin thing. Cogito means “I think.” Great review Tim, thanks. Might get me one after they punch out a few bugs. DJI could use a little competition. Good for the sport.
Thanks for the info! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an American-based drone company. I know there are some. Can you give us some reviews for those?
I'm just getting into this drone thing with the goal of using a drone to inspect buildings for my construction business. While studying for my Part 107 cert. I was very discouraged to find that only one drone was approved for circling a construction site (with people present), and that drone is not ideal for this type of work.
Do you have any information about drones that will eventually qualify as Category 2?
Thanks! There will likely be no categorized drones produced by manufacturers, simply not a big market for it and too hard and expensive to do for the payback. Your best bet is use a drone with high resolution and a good zoom and fly near but not over people... What US made drones are you thinking of? Skydio is one but thy are commercial now and expensive so not much interest from the regular consumer... Good Flying!
@@AlienDrones@AlienDrones, it seems the FAA is creating a situation where losing certification will be very easy. I.E., Guys walking around the construction site, I'm "avoiding" them, but the drone dies mid-flight with the trajectory of a person who happens to step out from behind a wall. Unlikely, but certainly possible and difficult to avoid. Seems that Cat 2 is the only way to avoid ending up in trouble. I have been accused of "overthinking" things. :-)
I don't have any specific U.S. drones in mind. I'd just like to hear your perspective, in general, and maybe some specifics like you gave us in this review.
Would like to know who is Spectra ?
Create a Day Nite camera system.
It's DJI with different name!!
So this one has also Video Transmission System O4 ? 🤔
appears to be exact same protocol.
I’m convinced it’s a rebadged DJI air 3. There are photos of the circuit board on the internet. I’m just curious as to what DJIs plan is. 🤔🤔🤔
Well, I'm gonna assume that With the DJI drone band actually moving along a worrying amount. They set up a front company in Hong Kong, which the US recognizes as an ally, so just a way to move around.
Very interested, but Geo fencing is a no go for me.
Does it still have geo fencing?
@@Lij_MC The article said yes, it stll has Geo fencing. That's why I would not consider this drone.
Magic Air 11
Yes, please do a more in depth tutorial.
hahahaha. I love the sound. Just sounds like my DJI Air 3. Never knew it got a twin brother . How cool is that in this world. Identical DNA. Awesome. The beauty of innovation. If other country can't think and innovate, they try to ban!!
Exactly! So many people are ticked off somehow, personally I don't care where the innovation comes from or why, as long as the consumer wins somehow I'm okay with that...
Was the drone footage unedited ?
Straight out of the camera in auto, no filters, no post processing done.
If that is not a DJI than I will eat it. Maybe that’s the way around theDJI band😅I can’t believe what I am seeing I don’t care what they call it what do you think." DJI with different name,,,
Please do a more detailed review.
Maybe i missed it in the video, but is this drone made in the USA?
According to Amazon it's made in Malaysia
It's made in China under a shell Corp called cogito which in reality is non other than dji trying to circumvent a blanket dji ban in America.
Where can you buy this?
amzn.to/4a5oL5V
This would have turned my head a little more if the ISO was somewhat variable… THAT would seal a deal for me.
The ISO is fully adjustable.
It looks just like a DJI
I’ve recently seen adverts for this on Facebook, but thought it was just a fake cheap drone that was being advertised for a ridiculous price. I might have to check it out more.
Thanks for sharing! Most of those ads are simply scam junk but this is an excellent drone with great functionality, decent features with the dual cameras, the price is fair for the kit that is available. Until they get their site running with accessories and extra batteries and ability to unlock geozones, it's a wait and see for me. But one to watch in the future for sure.
@@AlienDrones , I dunked my DJI mini 2 in a creek after flying it down the creek and was nearly through to the end and didn’t check around before moving forward and destroyed the main flight controller board, sent it to dji just to get a quote as I was a bit short on cash. They fixed it up and I couldn’t afford the money to fix it and just let them have it. I should have asked if they’d let me pay it off lol. Then I was offered an avata from a friend and he let me pay it off. I love the avata for its speed and agility, but it’s not a very stable cinematic drone. I’d love to get the mini 4 pro, but don’t have the money, it would be a good compromise between a full cinematic drone and small structure so that it doesn’t scare people. Oh well, I guess I’m just going to have to save up for one, or if this one you’ve tested gets better over time and has a good customer support I may end up saving up for this one. Thanks for the review and for replying back to me. Looking forward to checking out your other videos. All the best from Australia.
Fimi x8 mini pro v 2 review's you have any??
None of the mini, only the X8pro...
@@AlienDrones no problem thanks keep on flying my friend good stuff 🤠
This dude loves being on tv look at me over here look mom look at me I'm on tv I hope they never fix the bridge so I can be on tv every day
Think about it. Is there any way DJI wouldn't come down like a ton of bricks on a firm that cloned their drone, controller, app, and even the manuals? Also, rumor is this drone is updating via the DJI CDN. The front line DJI reps probably don't have a clue about what's going on at the level involved in this case. International markets, white label devices -- this would not be the first time in tech.
and who and how can dji a chinese company go to court against ? hong kong is now china and in china there is no copywrite on anything at all.. its not usa or western world it is china where anything goes... forget all about patent crap it dont exist in china.
@@philldownes8685 Actually, China has a quite robust intellectual property regime internally (which would include Hong Kong of course). And a major firm with a global profile like DJI would have major sway within that regime.
I'm sure they know full well exactly what's going on. They aren't going to openly admit it because then "cogito" would also be banned
It’s nice, but lack of info on their own website and the Geo Fencing that can’t be unlocked makes it a non-starter for me.
It does look and apparently flies like a DJI, but lacks the DJI after sale support. Again that’s a huge red flag for me.
Have to have parts, service and accessibility to support and they need to do it soon or it will be a missed opportunity for sure. Maybe it's simply too early and they will be on top of it soon but you don't get a second chance to make a first impression.
i am very sure, that this is a DJI Air 3. Even their controller and it's software looks exactly the same
April fools nearly got me lollllll😅
If this were published on April Fools it would have been a good one for sure... 😎 maybe next year!
Very impressive got any prices yet😢
@@paulcgburrows7267 This kit is available on Amazon right now amzn.to/4a5oL5V
Not thanks got dji air 3
for that price ill just buy a dji
I would gladly sell my air-3 for this one, IF they offered an HDMI out port for fpv goggles. That is the one thing I miss about my P4 pro plus drone.
They did work with dji in the design of the products and now gone to make a name for themselves
This is interesting, especially when it comes to the BAN part. Because TECHNICALLY, The drone assembly is from Malaysia, not China. So it's actually coming from a non-Ban country. Also, Hong Kong is not considered mainland China as well.
It's fun and interesting for sure...
i think a dji employee made new company,, hehehe
Hadn't thought about a DJI employee (someone with all the drawings and programs), that would be something for sure... 😎
Even same dji voice lol
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a DJI duck😂
Don't ducks go in the water? 🐟💦
Be a DJI without telling me you are a DJI! 😂
Only 1 battery ?
Agreed, not sure why companies do this. My guess is to get the entry price as low as possible, but I need a case/bag, multiple batteries and a charger bare minimum...
geo fencing .... no way thank you . i'll stay with my autels . i never had a problem with them.
That's the Air 3 without the logo.
Still Chinese origins so it doesn’t matter ban will follow it as well
That's most certainly a DJI PRODUCT with a DJI PRICE TAG, there's no way a Chinese company would charge £1199 for this drone, after all Chinese versions are always far less expensive and that's the reason companies use there services and products to make a massive profit.
Is it cheaper?
Clearly a paid advertisement
I had to pay for it by donating my liver, but good news is it should grow back. Then I'll be able to get the next model.
You’re being lied to. This is 100% a dji drone. They’d be the first to sue and we’d all be hearing about it. The app even reports to dji servers!
100000000%
LOL, either is just like when OnePlus came out as a "startup" then to find out they were owned by BBK, which also owns OPPO, and MAKES all of their phones, or, it is a startup that has some ex-DJI types making these to look, act & fly just like the DJI version. I'd say it's the former. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck & sounds like a duck...IT'S A DUCK!
you would go more than 1km so no buy if no range
The FEDS will not like this 😂😂😂 it's a DJI. Do they think we are STUPID 😂😂😂 Good video !
Look at they way American has been run for the last 3 years, and you get the answer to your question.
Even the same price as the DJI
The internal parts are 100% DJI electronics. Open it up and tell me if it has a P1 chip. DJI needs to move to Mexico and build everything there
It looks like a DJI, the controller looks like DJI, it flies like DJI, the battery fits like DJI, but there is no relationship? Sounds like someone is lying or, a copyright infringement case will appear soon.
Or, DJI has as an agreement with them where they can’t disclose that relationship.
Bingo. Most likely licensing with an NDA in place. At least you didn't talk about ducks... 😅😅
Lexus and Toyota
If it looks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, if it sounds like a duck........ than it's not a goose.🦆
If it's a cloned duck is it still a duck with a different name? 🦆🦆🤔
I will stick with my DJI Air 3 fly more package, with Care Refresh for 2 yrs.
How does another Chinese drone help us with the ban? We need a US or an allied drone company to stay in the consumer market, alas all of them go military because of the $$.
Those replies were the same as spit in my face and tell me it was raining.
Now I don't know how copyright laws run in those countries, but I do know if you do what they SAY they are doing here in the US, that would be a big no-no.
That's gross! 😷
Compare it to The Air 3.
It needs to be done.
It cost more thwn the dji one. Djo is only 1099 and the soectra is 1199
Not with the RC 2
@@AlienDrones is it 1199 woth that controller
@@maddmavic Specta: $1199 with RC2 controller, DJI you cannot get the Air 3 with RC2 controller by itself, the smallest kit with the RC2 is $1549, but it includes 2 more batteries. So not much more expensive if you remove the batteries, but the DJI is more for the same equipment.
Why are DJI doing this?
clone wars..
WOW! It's RID Comliant too! ! It HAS an FAA DoC on file! This is probably a DJI shadow company.. RID RID000001140 SPECTA AIR Unmanned Aircraft Accepted 3.13.2024 It would be VERY interesting to pry one open and have a very close look at the boards and chips.
I was surprised to see the DOC already approved already, that takes time. I did pop one open and take a look. The inside is very similar to the Air 3, but no DJI logos or similar serial/part numbers that I can tell. Definitely not identical DJI parts but the boards/components look like they were probably made to the same specs by the same/similar factory.
@@AlienDrones I don't know how they handle copyright, Patent or Itellectual Proprerty in China. I'd be extremely careful buying this (virtual Air 3) as DJI may squash it if it "Takes Off" *sorry* 😁*facepalm*
@@inthefreytoo That's the rub. There isn't intellectual property rights laws in China, that's why China rips off everyone else's designs from around the world, don't have to do the engineering and development and floods the market with cheaper look-alikes with no retribution except tariffs.
@@AlienDrones Sure glad we've got you guys to do the product testing ;) I'm Part 107 so, until they get the GEO FENCE figured out, it'll be a no-go - even at that price point. Many Thanks for the replies! Just got LAANC for Erie, PA in Class D/400' grid. for the eclipse. Woot! Take care...
Dji drone should never be banned in the USA just because it comes from china.
We live in a free enterprise economy competing with any nation in the world.
DJI is like having a iPhone in the USA
That's an air 3 100%
Specta is the dji... But content creator make it new name specta and make comparison for it... Bcoz in the link that only 1 unit specta air 3... It funny...
Welcome to the channel! You're obviously new here. 😅
It's an exact copy of the DJI drones. Ian from Mads Tech proved that they use ALL the exact same chipsets. Just a different app. This is all incredibly sus. Something is definitely up.
the only sussy thing is the US goverment .. they been doing this to toshiba, panasonic, nokia, and more.. free and democracy my ass
