      @@flymypg Yup, totally works. Not sure exactly which REI vest model you have, but I have something pretty much the same, and used it a ton this summer with the Air 3 & DJI RC in there. It definitely works better with the Mini 3 Pro, as it's lighter and easier to pack a spare bit of clothing around it. But either work fine.

    Great video - wanted to add a datapoint that might make you reconsider the safe hand-catch method. I've been using the hand-catch method where you flip the drone over to "fake" a crash and have the props turn off for many years now (Mavic Air and Air 2S). The other week when I did this, the propellers did not turn off for some reason. My hand slipped a bit under the prop forces, and the Air 2S propeller hit my pinky finger. It was not a paper-cut. It cut nearly 1/3rd the way into my finger and stopped at the nail; I almost needed stitches. Just cautioning that the hand-flip method is not fool-proof and you better make sure you have a very strong grip on the drone before attempting. Know that the propellers can do some serious damage. There's also another merged method where you can grab the drone with your hand and continue holding down on the stick so it eventually turns the motors off. This is a good compromise where the drone won't fly away, but should remain stable and not hurt yourself.

    • @despareint
      @despareint 3 місяці тому

      How about we hand-catch it and then turn off the power through the controller? It's the most safest approach

    If you haven't owned a drone previously and are considering purchasing one like this, I would highly recommend evaluating how often you you plan on using one. They really aren't casual devices. I live in a very rural area and when flying it from home, I've had negative interactions with most of my neighbors. They just don't like the idea of someone flying a camera anywhere near their house. You really almost have to go somewhere to use it and it's a lot of money to dump on something you can't just use whenever you want whenever the urge casually arises. For context, I have the Air 2.

    • @cassijoanna
      @cassijoanna Рік тому +5

    • @m118lr
      @m118lr Рік тому +1

      “Rural”..generally means “out and away from CLOSE-proximity neighbors”. I (we) live rural..3 miles from town on 25 acres. You’d think just looking at the area we were WAY out. Our neighbors (North & South of us) are sharing fencelines of similar-sized properties. WHEN I fly I’m NOWHERE NEAR ANY ‘home’..or people UNLESS I fly on THEIR property..which I don’t do. It’s all pasture and open/brush-type topography. I also have the Air 2S. I’d have to be over their house or harrassing animals or vehicles on the roads to ACTUALLY get into trouble..

    99.9 % of reviews on the Air 3 show people always explaining why they chose the RC-2 Over The N-2 controller. I just ordered the Air 3 and it’s currently showing out on delivery so I’m a bit excited about it. I chose the cheapest option with the N-2 controller for a couple different reasons. 1 the price was a couple hundred dollars cheaper that’s a primary reason. I can always go back later and purchase the RC-2 and extra batteries individually. In the long run I will pay more but sometimes it’s easier to come up with a couple hundred dollars than it is 5 or 6 hundred especially after you already have to pay a grand just for the drone. Another reason is that I already own 5 DJI drones such as the mini 2 mini 3 mini 3 pro mavic air 2 and the Air 2s and I have the basic N-1 controller on all of them. As you probably know DJI released a firmware update making the Air 3 compatible with the goggles 2 but unfortunately you can only use the goggles with the motion controller. That’s a huge disappointment. I don’t know why DJI can’t just allow us to use the goggles with our regular controllers. But I found another solution that will allow me to use FPV goggles on any and all DJI drones. On Amazon they have a tablet called the tripltech 9 pro and it has HDMI ports so that you can download the DJI fly app and then use goggles that also have an HDMI port to view the onscreen display through the goggles. But if I had the RC-2 I couldn’t use the tablet. Purchasing the tablet is just under a thousand and then the goggles will be around 500 but having the ability to use goggles in those hard to see sunlit days will be much easier to get the shot you want.

      I'd say it's normally 'fine'. Not great, not bad, just fine. This was an oddly failure-prone day, especially given that this was actually pretty easy. While I trimmed it down a fair bit, it did stick with me both directions on the final run (the raw filming time of that section was something like 20 minutes...crazy long). That said, on the whole it represents success. If you're out in the open, it tends to do well. If in trees, no chance.

    Hi, I just watched your video and it was great. I currently have an Air 2. DJI is having a 20% off sale right now and I am going to buy an Air 3 with the controller that you used in this video. My question is I have heard that with the screen built into the controller it is much easier to see than when you are using your phone with the controller. In using my phone and I am outside on a sunny day, it is really hard to see where I am flying the drone.. In your experience, is that true?

    Does obstacle avoidance work with overhead power lines? And is it working via visual camera or radar sensors?

      It'll work if it's a bright sunny day, especially in summer (or much of spring/fall). However, in overcast conditions with flat lighting, or low sun like in the winter, it'll often miss those lines.

    I can’t get the downloads to work with either the Mini 3 Pro or the Air 3. Both times it says it’s transferring, but it says “0b/s” and never downloads anything.

      Hmm, that's odd. Generally speaking the main issues are:
      A) Left controller on (won't work)
      B) WiFi or BT not turned on (on phone), but my guess is that's not it.
      C) WiFi got reconnected to some other network behind the scenes (home/work/etc)
      D) Arms aren't open (super important).
      I've never had 0b/s though, that's a very odd one. Sorry man!

      @@Dcrainmaker Pretty sure none of those things are true. Wifi is still connected to the DJI drone. One other odd thing - the strobes on the drone flash two long red flashes, and about 30 short yellow ones, then repeat.
