Hey everyone, for those who made it... thanks for joining me in the live chat for the premier of this video. Was fun chatting with you all. 🍻
Good review as always ❤😊
Whos waiting for the Range test??!!! always exciting !!!
yee
Can’t wait for the range test.
Range test visual line of sight 🤦
Dustin, just a curious question but why did you leave Hawaii? Just miss all that peacefulness in those videos. Don’t get me wrong I still love the videos.👍👍👍💯💯💯
Range test? Lmao. You do know its the law to fly within visual line of sight? Aka vlos. Yeah keep breaking the law and see what happens once remote ID is required in September.
@@johnrambo1349 yeah, whatever tough guy.
@olewiseone1079 do you have your part 107? If you do, it clearly stated you must fly within vlos. Once remote ID goes into effect, the FAA can track your drones, know your pilot location, know your home point, know your drone location, know your flight routes you taken, know you phone number, know your email, know you drone serial number, know you home address, know your name. So yeah good luck flying beyond vlos. Lol.
Long videos are good 😎 thank you
Glad you like them!
This guy is so thorough! Best drone review UA-camr!!
So VERY nice to see a drone test again, thanks
This video overview was awesome... thanks Dustin. I finally decided today to order it and watched a few of your videos like the unboxing and this one. Very well done.. thank you!
I just ordered the AIR 3 Fly More Combo yesterday, & I ordered the Integra goggles Motion 2 Combo. I've purchased 7 other DJI drones over the years, after watching your review & range test videos. Thank you for all the awesome content.
Can't wait for the range test!! 🤩Great review as always! 😎👍
Dustin my man I enjoy every one of your videos very informative so I don’t get discouraged by any negative comments can’t play them all but they’re here watching so you’re doing something right great video
Another bloody beaut video Dustin, thanks mate, regards from Australia.
Glad to see you back at it Dustin! Range test Range Test Range Test lol
This thing looks awesome! Thanks for doing such an extensive test and walkthrough of its featureset! Looking forward to the range test 🤩
Excellent video 😊. Thanks 👍🏾
I just ordered mine today cant wait to get my hands on this drone looks amazing!
Great video of what the DJI AIR 3 can do. Keep the videos coming!
you are amazing man!
I'm waiting for your Super range test!!! I really love it❤
Nice demmo Dustin there are some nice upgrades on this one . thanks again mate
Great in-depth review Dustin. The new DJI Air 3 is loaded with features, and the camera looks great as well. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video demo Dustin im glad you are still putting some bloody good videos out there for us to watch and learn. The way you explain everything is why i started watching and will keep watching your work buddy. Thanks again for another great demo
Thanks Kevin! 🍻
flies beautiful and smooth and swift !very good flying drone and wind almost never affects its speed truly amazing
GREAT video!!!!
YESSS, FINALLYYY
cant wait to get my hands on it. Placed my order a bit late now I gotta wait till mid august!
Thanks Justin, great review, missing Hawaii backdrop😢
Great review as always. Cant wait for range thriller
The range test video is great , check it out
only had my airt2s about 12 moths so cant justify upgrading to the air 3 just yet although it does look awesome. great review👍
Great review. Wow you really pushed the obstacle avoidance. Think I am ready to upgrade.
Excellent review and demo of functions, Dustin. The way DJI keep refining stuff with each new release is very impressive, but my bank balance can't keep pace.😁
Great review Dustin, my Air 3 is coming tomorrow you got me fired up sir! I'll post some content with it this weekend :)
My last advanced drone was the phantom 3 standard. I'm pretty pumped for this drone.
For the price this thing is insane.
Sold my mini 1 half year ago and ordered air 3 yesterday, seems like it Will be a Huge upgrade. The bag seems ok , much better then my friends mini 2 bag bitit i did like the minis case more
Great review. This looks like the drone we've all been waiting for.
My problem is that I live in UK where even with the advanced A2CofC licence, we can only fly drones up to 500g close to people or buildings in urban environments.
Well, just sold one of my guitars yesterday and that should just about pay for the Air 3 Fly More Conbo. Looking forward to getting this drone.
I am so excited for when you do a range test with the air 3 and its new o4 transmission
waiting for the range test brother 💥
5.1ghs frequency and 6 antennas
Cannot wait for the range test
Although the video is long, I really enjoyed it,,,, now just waiting for the range test
Glad you enjoyed it 🍻
Thanks seems this will be my next drone, wanted a Mavic 3pro but this looks more solid and weigh less. Looking forward to the Range test
0--------------15km
I live in Chicago and I love my air 3
that is perfect close landing in my books
About time DJI put way point missions in their mid range drones. I had feature that I had since my Beebop 2 with Parrot. I had to resort to buying DroneLink for my Mavic Air to get that feature.
I am imagining using Waypoints to fly (during the day) an area that would be awesome at night. Save the waypoint flight, go back at night, and fly the waypoint route at night. WOW! Waiting for my Air 3 to arrive. UPS is telling me nothing and it was shipped a few days ago.
Great review as always but its a shame you dont have a electric bike to see wot speed the drone will follow you in active track before it loses tracking.
Looking forward to the range test video.
Nice 👍😍
Mini 3 pro ftw
I can’t wait to buy it 😢😊
Great review. I definitely want that drone. Btw- what park are you at? I see that small modular skatepark there too. Mahalo
We want range test as soon as possible ❤
Please drop the range test today I can’t wait any longer
So about 33 minutes flight time and that would be pushing it to the limit. Which is pretty good for the size and weight of the drone. On a range test flying out at 27 mph for roughly about 15 minutes and that would probably be a nail biter flight like a few of your others. DJI specks say 32 kilometers video transmission. If that’s accurate that’s 3 times as much as the air 2 or air 2s that’s something I would have to see. Great review as always. The voice changed after an update to the DJI fly app then people in the UK were having issues with the drone not having the option to go up 500 meters so DJI did another app update to correct it. But now the voice sounds supposedly more human.
Dustin, you've been flying and reviewing drones and DJI drones for years and you still haven't figured out how Spotlight works. I've said this before you to and I'll say it again in the hope that you finally hear this: It's NOT a stationary tripod. Spotlight is arguably the most useful focus track mode for filming. You can still move the drone around as normal but the camera will still point at the subject. Please try it out and discover what this mode can do and then make a video educating the rest of the community, because many people still don't understand Spotlight mode.
Not sure why I forgot to show you can move it. Yes I've shown it in prior DJI reviews. Maybe it's because I was trying to touch on so much I forgot 🍻
Amazing that a drone this small produces helicopter footage
Just got this a couple of days ago because of the Remote ID requirements. Very disappointed about the $1500 and no charger in the box. This is a great video, very thorough. I really want to get away from "Litchi on a small iPhone screen". This drone is the ticket. Would like to see a longer video/demo on the Waypoint Feature. I use this on every Construction Site survey in Litchi. I bought this drone because it Has built in Remote ID plus the Waypoint setup that I need. Thank you!
I'll do an in-depth waypoint video soon. Congrats on the Air 3 🍻
@@DustinDunnill Fantastic! I have done a couple of flights and ordered Stylus pens after reading reviews on "fat fingers" adding unwanted waypoints at the bottom of the screen. Remote ID functioning properly according to the "status bar." I like this drone. Wish I could do Drone Deploy with it. Will have to keep my Pro 2 for that and buy a module for RID.
Range test please!
can you change the expo? as a pro video guy changing expo makes it much easier to so slow cinematic moves. My other DJI drone allow this including my air 2s. Also will the charger overheat when charging in the field on a hot day- via inverter in a car for example
Hello Greetings Dustin your Right that long time no see I waited for so long to see the new reviews but you didn't review the mavic 3 classic and also mavic 3 pro that is released a few weeks ago so we are also waiting for those dji reviews as well I hope you do those review for us too thank you.
Priorities I guess. All my time & money was spent in a home and moving so couldn't afford everything. I'll see if DJI can send demos 🍻
@@DustinDunnill ok I hope they sent you soon thanks for replying 😊
Great excessive review 😀
Thanks very much, I have one just in my amzn basket, just wondering whether: Can you advise for or against certain ND / CPL sets or brands?
Best regards from Germany
DJI may have included the charger with the free drone, but what puzzled me the most about purchasing the Fly more bundle was that it did not include a proper charging brick. Yes, you can still charge it with something like a computer or usb phone charger, but those options will take 12-18 hours to charge a single battery. I had to spend and extra $50 to buy a 100 watt charger. Not a big deal, but if someone is already spending $1500, why not charge a few more $$$ and include a proper charging unit or at least make it clear it is needed?
Agreed 👍
Mahalo Dustin. When are you back in Hawaii?
Thank you for the in-depth videos!!! I just ordered this product, and as this will be my first drone, I was wondering if it records audio?
Congrats! No audio is recorded. All you'd hear is loud propeller overwhelming buzzing. I've tried it back in the day and it's not usable audio 🍻
I love your tests. I live in albuquerque. Can you reach Cedro Peak?
Likely but it's got massive antennas on it. Interference? 🍻
Hey man firstly I’m glad to hear your family and friends are safe. I wanted to ask before I invest in one how is that remote you’re using in the sunlight. Can you see the screen clearly?
Thanks. Not as bright as it could be. Some shade or shade from your hat or head in full sun & it looks fine 🍻
Well im still going to use my mini 3 pro
THAT’s the biggest fail for me with the A2S..crappy sensors and in GREAT NEED of ‘better/more’ sensors TO ALLOW HORIZONTAL or side to side flight. ALL drones SHOULD have PRO-active sensors..
Tell that guy to read the room…sheesh
Yeah that was weird af
Hey dustin, i was just wondering why you didn't show the performance in sport mode, i was really hoping you would show it some time later. But other than really enjoyed the video! 👍
I did some flying in sport in the video 🍻
@@DustinDunnill alright thanks 😁
👏👏👏
i wonder if TSA will allow this as carry on with the batteries and all
Are you going to get the A3S in a few months as well ?
180 turn right , 180 turn left then 180 up and 180 down.
Since your in the states now, should I be looking up to see your Air 3 going by from the range test???
I mean I'm in Pa.. but with you at the controls you never know!!! Please don't take it to 1%..... old man might not be able to take it!
I would like to see a cruise control range test... set it and let it fly, then let it rth when it wants, wonder what the range would be?
Can you help me with a question please, can the new RC2 controller work with older drones like the Mavic 3 or the DJi Mini 3 Pro. I really like your posts and reviews. Greetings from Brazil.
Νο! It is the first with the new occusync 4.0.
Previous generation drones work with occusync 3.0.
How loud is it compared to mini 3 pro?
Hey where are you? Ive seen you did range tests in hawaii, then in forest and now youre here. Where are you going to do air 3 range test?
Hi is there a way to enable manual decent on this Air whilst its in RTH ? The Mini 3 Pro does it but i can't seem to do with with the Air 3
Please Review The new battery charging hub supports an innovative power transfer function. Simply press and hold the function button to transfer the remaining power from multiple batteries to the battery with the highest remaining power, [6] giving you a more fully charged battery in situations where charging options are limited.
I've shown this in 2 videos already 🤔🍻
I had to laugh when you wondered why you didn't hear a verbal warning... you muted it haha
I couldn't decide whether to get the Air 3 or the mini 4 pro... so I got both... awesome drones... Kudos DJI
Where's our payload capacity test of it for fishing? :)
Did you order the 100w charger separate? Mine did not come with a charger. Just curious. Thx.
Great video ! I’m so confused now !!! I want a drone for content creation for my UA-cam channel “Big Dreams Philippines 🇵🇭 “
I’m trying to decide between Air 3 and Mavic 3 pro ! I’m so confused 😊 as a photographer I like aperture control but so many cool features in the Air 3 ! What do I do ! what do I chose ? Dang you Dji !
At minute 59, in your video, you are saying that you still have 20 left (for flying). The RC is showing 20% and 7 minutes. That's why you got "bettery low" so soon.
Sorry I miss-spoke. I was thinking 20% but said 20 minutes 🍻
Great flight, congratulations! FCC or EU?
its both, if youre in eu its on eu mode and if youre outside of eu its in fcc
I have a ??? about the AIR 3 POI gimbal operation. When I do the POI with the AIR 2, I have to pan down some to center my projects. Then I hit RECORD, GO. The gimbal stays in place and my videos are perfect. When I do this with the Air 3, the gimbal pitches up on its own after I make my adjustment. This is not good because all of my videos have a gimbal adjustment back downward to my desired position at the beginning. Is there a setting somewhere in the menus to keep the gimbal in position when I hit GO? I need the gimbal to perform like the Air 2 and Pro 2 when I hit GO. Thanks for your help and have a good day.
You may need to adjust it after you hit go with this one unless an update changes that 🍻
@@DustinDunnill I have asked DJI about it. In the meantime, I just tap the gimbal wheel right after GO and the gimbal stays put. Thanks!
No Mavic 3 pro?
New to drones..question..other videos mentioned something about "downloading" the mapped out "area" where you are most likely be flying around?..so you have to do this every time you want to fly?.I thought its like a GPS on cars..where it's active as you "go/fly"..the maps adjust and is already there for you on the go?
kinds sucks nobody goes into more in depth in explaining this part..and actually showing the process of it all...guess everyone assumes people should know this already..haha ..appreciate some feedback..thank you
You need a data connection to get the maps to download whether it's in real-time or pre downloaded.
For controller with screen, either boot up at home or wherever you have WiFi data and pan/zoom the entire area(s) you will be flying later where there will be no WiFi data connection. The controller will cache the area in memory.
You can also connect via WiFi hotspot if your phone has that ability and can deliver data at flight location for real time maps as you fly.
Another option is getting the AIr 3 with regular (non screen) controller which you mount your phone or tablet that already has a mobile data connection and will stream maps in real time as you fly 🍻
@@DustinDunnill thank you so much for the information..and the video!..
You have to spin the controller and not the drone?
You’ve got a spot in Maui too right?
Can you set a weypoint mission off line and then save and go fly when your ready as you could with the mavic 2 series?
Yes, I put some annotation up on screen when I was testing the waypoints in this video 🍻
Hi can this mavic record dual video in spllit screen ? same as you can do in Iphone and Samsung?
Not yet. Perhaps something they can activate with an update 🍻
Afro Canadian navigational systems are cheaper for sure but less durable.
Full batre bisa terbang berapa km ?
There is no way it gets 46 minutes on a battery. It seems to be getting max of 32 minutes real use flight time. Definitely not looking like too much of an upgrade from my two Air 2S drones and my Autel Lite Plus drone which gets a good 40 minutes real use flight time. I know you keep saying the Air 3 should be able to reach 40 minutes flight time but I don’t think it can with real use and without canceling return to home with safe battery use. I believe the Autel Lite Plus is the better choice also with camera sharpness.
You need a hug karen?
@@ttss5726 I don’t need anything. I just point out the obvious. Every word I speak is true. I didn’t even mention the poor choice of using a DJI Action 2 camera and expecting it to work at all. I have always loved his reviews but letting people know the flaws is actually helping them. If I did the same I would love to hear from everyone and learn from my flaws. I expect more because I know how amazing he is with making review videos. So yes I know he can do better, I’ve seen it. Now go away with your ignorance and learn your place.
I wish I would have bought this instead of the mini 4p
Traded it in for Air 3
🤝
I think the camera on the air 2s is better and more zoom. Maybe when the air3s is released, it will have a better camera just like the air 2s but by that time DJI might be banned in the United States
The Air 2s has better Field of View. I hope they turn the Air 2s into like an SE version like the mini series.
@@Joe-wk9ow Air 2S is EOL - DJI doesn't even do bug fixes on it..Last FW was 10 months ago. It was one of the best, rugged, talented drones in DJI History. But development is over. DJI Discontinued Mavic Air 2 in Early March. By that schedule Air 2S will be gone early next year.
"Better" is subjective. Bith Original Dobo and Quickass Tutorials did side by sides..the stacked frontside lighting dusl native ISO sensor, superior lens, HUGELY better low light performance and color science give the new cameras an order of magnitude improvement on Air 2S. Noise Control, sharpness and a lens with less chromatic aberration are many levels of improvement. Size is only one parameter of a sensor and.. all things being equal, it would win the day. But all things are not equal. Nit even close. Also AIR 2S only offers digital zoom. As I'm cropping IN on the sensor (using only a small potion of it) Air 3 has a NATIVE 3X zoom. (3 TIMES MORE zoom) Digitally it does 9X.
Dustin, thanks for the review.
Did you have any problem viewing the RC 2 in direct sunlight?
It seems like the screens are slowly getting better in sunlight but there is still a little trouble 🍻
Can you use the new controller on the mavic 3 pro
No.
I love watching this things that I can't afford
8:58 Im victim of comment fishing now, but my mini 3 pro does the same.
