Hi, good points. On the (not bright enough) screen issue, I saw someone on an Air 3 fb group had hooked up a big tablet to his RC2, through the bottom port using a usb-c to hdmi cable. Maybe you could try that for a future video.
DJI drones are now divided I to categories according to the most common weight categories. So I think we will now see fully featured drones in each weight category. Instead of the most expensive drones getting the best features.
Ken is this true, Phoenix Air Unmanned, uAvionix, UPS Flight Forward and Zipline - to conduct BVLOS drone operations at 400ft or below. After a request for public comment closed in June, the FAA has now approved these firms to begin operating.7 days ago
I have a few Anker chargers that I use to charge uo my M3 batts on the fast charging hub. The 727 charging station has 100W output thru 2 USB-C, 2 usb-A and 2 120V outlets...and the 737 120W charging brick and they both have worked for me
Question? Currently have an Air2. Could I use the charging block that came with the Air2? It has a separate, I believe usb-c out to charge the controller. Could I just use that portion of the current charger I own? I don't currently have an Air3, otherwise I would try this and let you know.
@@OriginaldoBo thanks a lot for answering man 🙏 last quick question, I do real estate photography and I was wondering, I’ve got an Air 3 just now (before I used a mavic 2 zoom) but I was thinking to switch to a mavic 3 classic (never used one so I don’t know how it is but everyone telling me that the sensor is much better etc etc). What you suggest me? I could probably swap my air 3 for a mavic 3 classic (same money). Thank a lot! You rock man
@@olabergvall3154 Have you tested that yourself? The reason that I doubt that it can be done that way is because I have checked everywhere online and it says that the usb-c port can be used only to transfer your saved screen shots from the controller to your computer, and nothing about it being an actual video out port. Not only that, I don't think that DJi would do that because it would put a big hole in their sales of the RCPro, which does have an HDMI port, but is not yet compatible with the Air3. Hopefully it will soon with a firmware update. So if anyone has tested this theory please let us know. Thank you
It doesn’t come with any charge. I got the Anker Gang Prime 737 120 watt charger. I’ve found that I have to use ND8 at night to use test the long exposure.
Helpful, i'm sooooo on the fence between air 3 and 3 pro atm. I shoot primarily real estate as you know but also do the occasional wedding and other event so the 3 pro has got my attention for those. I'm not to keen on having fixed aperture during an event like a wedding, UGH such a tough decision lol.
Do you mean mavic 3 pro or mini 3 pro? If its the mavic 3 pro just get the mavic, you wont have to upgrade for years. If its the mini 3 pro you mean, depends on the flight restrictions where you live
@@hqund7816 no I mean mavic 3 pro or air 3 are the two I’m debating between. I just need to decide if the $1500 extra is worth variable aperture which is only difference I really want I dont care too much about the 3rd lens.
depends. I have neither I fly the M3P but i guess if you want less noise then the air 3 is great. The mavic 3 pro has 20mp photos and 5.1k video. Depends what your clients want i guess@@Rendil420
Oh wow I didn’t about the first one. Thanks for sharing the links for a good charger, i think $35 is not a deal breaker. One question I can’t find an answer for: can you connect the DJI RC2 to an external monitor (like an ipad)?
@originaldobo Straight up, A2S or A3 for photos? Construction Progression mainly, P4Pv2 for orthos so A2S as my main for basic photos. I think I know the answer and probably need to hold out.
due to the air 3 being on the o4 air unit, i doubt they will make the rc pro compatible. the o3 and older are no longer supported going forward from the looks of it. cant confirm for sure but they had to make a breaking point for the support somewhere...
do you have proof@@AKsDroneWorld? as far as i know its a completely new protocol with new frequency ranges to get better connections between the hardware. if there is proof its just software, that means they likely are working on a hack
Thanks for the update Ken. After much research, I dropped out of 'upgrading' from my Air 2S as stills are my main thing and I don't see the Air 3 as being an upgrade for my use cases. I'd not even considered the AEB implications of the 48 megapixel option for stills on the Air 3, so that's an interesting take. I can now at least extend the life of the RC Pro that I sold a kidney for just last year 🤘
Literally just got back from shoot my first 2 jobs with this thing and I've come to the same conclusions. Needed NDVI filters off the bat. Weirded out that there no charging brick that came with it, but luckily I run an M3M as well, so that's covered. Shooting bracketed 48mpx dngs is 12 seconds between each shot, at 90mb per image, so I'm running 12mpx from now on. Also, the lack of Lightroom profiles is a little disappointing, but easy to get over.
Freewell has seen the wisdom of offering split filters / different number of light reduction FStop equivalence for these two widely different apertures. Really unclear why DJIs set didnt do this since they DID split the Mavic 3 Pro set, if only for the 166mm which has that 3.4 aperture.
Haha - the outro - priceless! 🤣 Thanks for another brilliant video that tells things that people usually don't get to hear from the common tech review channel 😊
Ahhhh it suffers from chromatic aberration and colour shifts in 48mp mode the same as the mini 3 Pro... Which uses the same omnivision ov48c sensor. Thanks for that. I'll wait for the air 3s when dji will likely use an updated omnivision sensor, maybe 1" with the same technology. The omnivision sensor is nearly 4 years old now and companies like that don't tend to rest on their laurels. Yep I'll wait 😊
I'm sticking with my Air 2S for photos - I don't see how going from 20mp with a one inch sensor to 12mp with a smaller sensor is an upgrade for photographers.
A-3 has what the call stack sensors,, with the technology up to date,, those stack sensors out do just about the whole DJI Lineup when it comes to photos... DOBO himself has reviewed and shown this... this is why people are putting down the Mavic 3 Pro and switching to the Air-3...
@@KNIGHT-FLIGHT I'm also a nature photographer and own both Nikon and Fuji cameras. I've also worked with RAW photos from the Air 3 and my Air 2s. Air 2S photos have more dynamic range and I have much more room to push and pull the colors and I have more control over my highlights. If you're a serious photographer there is no way you would trade a Mavic 3 Pro for an Air 3. I'm not buying the Air 3 hype.
@@steveborghardt i hear you,,, I also hear the M3P owners who have made the switch... Infact,,, DONO was the first to do so!!! He bought 2 A-3s even... Me personally,, im just a Pilot so I can't argue with this,, for I don't do editing & color grading... I let the ND Filters and Drone settings work that out.....
@@steveborghardt new technology, would you say a full frame sensor from 10 years ago would be as good as an APSC that just dropped? Too Each their own though.
@AKsDroneWorld I've worked with RAW files from both. The 20mp from the Air 2s look better in lightroom than the Air 3 RAW. That's what I base my opinion on.
I think the lack of a charger in the Air 3 Flymore is unacceptable. I'm using the Anker Gen 2 nano 100 w charger, it works great!I have had 2 Air 3's now and I can't get the screen recordings off of either. Don't know if it's just me but the Usb-c port does not work for data transfer. Its like there's a short in the port. Btw I thought I was the only one that got a tingle in ma taint when inserting that rear entry battery for the first time 😂
You are always, interesting, informative, knowledgeable, emotive, and good humored (except when you are upset about some bone-headed piece of news). One of the reasons I bought my air three on the day of its release was your early morning review. Cheers, Ken.
Great video. DJI.......C'MON MAN! Enable the RC Pro to work with the Air3, and include the 100W charger in the Fly More kit! News flash...It WILL increase your sales.
killer content as always! that TripelTek looks like a MUCH more portable device vs their normal offering. would be absolutely baller to have an 1300-nit screen that's much more pocket-able 👀
#6 (at the time of this comment) The Air 3 is still not on the Approved Remote ID list. I'm sure that'll change soon! Can't wait to have my own drone shots of Tampa! Great Footage! 👍Just recently got my Air 3 in!
Great stuff!! Really do appreciate your work!! Ok, I am going to just throw out there that this is my first drone, and yea, I am a total newbe... Finally got the thing into the air the other day, took lots of nice shots I didn't save, and the ones that got saved I so far have not been able to transfer. As an old time photographer, when someone tells me 48 pixels, I expect a true 48.. Just like including a 100W charging brick should be a part of the package.. Do I smell an air of deceit from DJI? Don't get me wrong here, I love this drone, even if it is my cherry popper. Why shoot, I have not even crashed it yet, thanks in large part to its very effective avoidance system, and auto landing. Don't know for sure, but think I have drone sexual leanings. It's almost as bad as the Huey Screwy I was as a crew chief on one in Viet Nam, only I don't think this one will get me killed! Might get me shot though.. Thinking maybe a few quick U tube vids of me learning might be in order here too, but then again, no one wants to watch an old fart!!
Great Video and all Valid Points. I was discouraged with no charging brick but i bought one that works well. Next on my list is some filters..On Hold for now but in the meantime i'm gna fly the crap out of it. Nice Information Ken. Hahahahahaha #DroneSexual Hahahahahaha
Haven't gotten to test with my ND flirters yet but without them even on a properly exposed shot with sun behind drone, the Air 3 produces a ton of noise in the photos, I have more testing of my own, but not sure I can live with it. Thanks for the videos as always. Also why did they not include 3:2 ratio?
The smart remote is pretty old with only ocusync 2. They will never make that compatible with anything besides the drones that it is compatible with now nothing for its future
Thanks!
Just took my Air 3 out this morning for its maiden flight. Got some really nice Sunrise Photos! So Far I love this Drone!!!
Thanks for the tip for charging brick! I got the anker and it ain’t no joke! It charges within minutes but nearly drained my truck battery dry!
That ending 🫣😅

I got one about 3 weeks ago from DJI and it did come with the brick, but no ND filters.

These are five important things to know about the DJI Air 3. Thanks for sharing Ken.

Hey Ken, any more word on that tripltek gizmo? What's it do? Thanks!
thanks for the video... would this drone be a major update to my Mavic 2 Zoom... the Mavic 3 line is out of my price range?
Yes absolutely a better upgrade
@@OriginaldoBo Thanks Ken... selling my GH5 and my Mavic 2 Zoom now on ebay... great channel
Kind regards. Which is better for you the autel lite plus or DJI Air 3
Air 3 , anyone saying the lite is better is misinformed
Is the "charging brick" different from the DJI Air 3 Battery Charging Hub? As of today the Air 3 FMC includes a DJI Air 3 Battery Charging Hub.
Yes the hub is what the batteries go in the charging “brick” is what you plug into the wall to then plug your devices into to charge.
Would dji intergra goggle compatible to air3
Question? Currently have an Air2. Could I use the charging block that came with the Air2? It has a separate, I believe usb-c out to charge the controller. Could I just use that portion of the current charger I own?
I don't currently have an Air3, otherwise I would try this and let you know.

@@vasylsky9486sorry I don’t have hours to waste and I’m not wasting my time discussing crap chargers.
