  • This is my first flight with the DJI Air 3! I flew from Dedication Point at the Snake River Canyon. I did a full send over the canyon wall. Of course, I tried out the 3X telephoto. This one is the real deal!

    Your comments about the heat and bright sun on the controller screen gives me the idea of rigging an umbrella on a tripod to get out of the direct sunlight.

    Never get tired of seeing Snake River Canyon, this location and channel was a key factor that got me into drones in the first place. It's a location on my bucket list. What a lovely bird the Air 3 appears to be.... DJI are going to bankrupt me 😂

    The drone came back home at an altitude of 26m even though the setting was 35m. Did you notice? Really beautiful canyon and super video.

    • @IdahoQuadcopter
      @IdahoQuadcopter  Před 11 měsíci

      Yes, I had it in Optimal mode for RTH. 👍 Thank you!

      Another great canyon adventure! Thanks, Marcus! As much flying as you do out there, why not take a portable sun shade? They are not expensive and are easy to set up and take down. You and your gear can stay cooler, and the controller will be easier to see!

    I have learned to have faith in DJI’s return to home, but every time you push it to the limit with the low battery return to home, you add some high drama, Marcus. I have had several flights with my Air 3. What a joy! Cheers, buddy.

    @ssb73q Před 11 měsíci +2

    Hi Marcus, thank you for sharing your first flight of your Air 3 with us, especially in that heat. DJI must love you more than me, you got your Air 3 so soon. I ordered the same time time as you, but my Air 3 won't be here until this coming Wednesday. I was hoping that the cameras could be switched while recording, that is a complaint I have with my Mavic 3. Maybe DJI will fix that in a future update?

    • @IdahoQuadcopter
      @IdahoQuadcopter  Před 11 měsíci

      With the Mavic 3 Pro you can switch though them in explorer mode. I need to spend some time with the manual on this one. Thank you Richard!

  • @oitseric

  • @FredHarvey-wp2qy
    @FredHarvey-wp2qy Před 11 měsíci +1

    I expected the Air 3 to be impressive, but this flight absolutely blew away any preconceptions I had. I knew that it had the 3X camera, but since I don't do a lot of video zooms, that wasn't a big selling point for me. What really caught me by surprise was that it uses a 4 cell battery pack! The speed and power of my Air 2S makes it head and shoulders above the mini drones because of 3 cell power versus 2 cell power. The 4 cell pack in the Air 3 would put it that much ahead of my drone!
    You used the RC2 controller that came with the drone. Is your RC Pro controller compatible with the Air 3?
    Thanks for taking me flying with you again, Marcus! Always a good time!

    • @IdahoQuadcopter
      @IdahoQuadcopter  Před 11 měsíci

      Thank you, Fred! The Air 3 is proving to be a big winner from DJI.

Stunning video and some great performance out of her on her maiden flight at the Canyon. I hope you found some AC and put your feet up after this flight....that sun can be draining! As always, good job Marcus!

    • @IdahoQuadcopter

    Fantastic maiden voyage with your new Mavic Air 3! I liked 95% of what I saw in it's performance! I plan to wait to see what happens with that drone before I buy it. Just like last time, I purchased the Mavic Air 2 and 10 months later came the Air 2s! Really broke my heart and I just don't trust DJI right now. Thanks for the presentation! A lot of folks are doing the same thing but I always enjoy yours! Get in the shade my friend!

    Even without having Explorer mode, or maybe in its place, you can use the zoom dial to get 1x-3x on the wide lens )cropped), and 3x-9x on the Tele lens. Something we DON'T have on Mavic 3 is you can be zoomed all ths way at 9x, draw a box and get Focus Track; Spotlight & Point of Interest all the way zoomed!

  • @BlairAir
    @BlairAir Před 11 měsíci +1

    Hey there it is! Just about to watch... at 3 AM, LOL! Glad you got out to the canyon after all! Its 95+ every day here in NC, but I am just loving the Air 2. As soon as it cools down I'll be getting more "Air" time!
    In that direct sun, you probably could use a sunshade of some sort. I think they had one for the RC (RM330) that should work on the RC-2 (RM331)

    • @IdahoQuadcopter

    Awesome footage Marcus! You're blessed being so close to such an iconic place, I love it! Btw I had to send my Air 3 back for the same reason Johnnie sent his and a few other reasons. DJI said since I'm within my 30 days there just going to replace it. Gotta love DJI customer service! They really r the best imo. Great video brother! 👍

    • @IdahoQuadcopter

    Great first flight with new Air 3. I was really impressed with the new 3x camera, gave a whole new perspective on the river at the base of canyon. Both the cameras looked great out there. And the drone seemed perform very well, essentially RTH mode. Thanks for sharing Marcus.

    @FoolWithACamera0 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Great video. The StartRC Sun Hood works well for DJI controllers; inexpensive and easy to install. I have a new Air 3 and have been doing flights in the Rio Grande River canyons. I have to be very cautious when flying from the top of the canyons in the deeper and narrower sections because the Air 3 can suddenly lose the RC signal which is a bit unnerving. I am glad to see that the RTN to home function works well as you have demonstrated. Again, great video.

    Wow, Marcus, The color on that thing is amazing. It reminds me of my Mavic Air 1. It also had fantastic color vs. the Mini 2 and the Air 2. The later 2 drones are also great drones but tend to lack the color of the Air 1. But that Air 3 is poppin. Perhaps to get that HDR mode you have to click on the Res&fps numbers on the control screen. Recently on my Air 2 I had forgotten how to get to the zoom mode and that's where I found the additional menu. Let me know if you find the HDR mode. However the color on that thing is so good it probably doesn't even need an HDR mode. I've already made up my mind to pull the trigger on the Air 3. Thanks so much for posting this great video. Cheers!

    Hey Marcus , delighted to finally got out to do the first flight , I know you where tied up for a few days. And what an amazing place to do it.Coming back the picture look so sharp the canyon wall on the river. 1x and 3 x where great. Also on the new controller you can name your files ie. you could name that canyon at the start . and if you did say 3/4 video all around the canyon it all filed away in the file name "canyon" . looking forward to get mine soon... great work as always Marcus your seen delighted with this drone.its pack with tech etc

    Mine came 2 days ago but did not get to check it out yet at my favourite location due to rain then later wind and probably will have to leave it to next week when things forecast to improve, but a least I got to watch your great initial review. I noticed the RC 2 fans coming on loud when I was just updating the firmware but I was resting it on my leg and was not aware that I was blocking the vent, fans slowed down again after I took it off my leg.

    Hi Marcus! Don't forget the sun screen. Thanks for battling the elements to give us the Air 3 perspective! I have the Mini 3 Pro and was thinking of adding the Mavic 3 Classic for the more windy days. Now, I have to ask if I should get the Air 3 instead of the Mavic 3 since you had such a fun flight. What's your take on this comparison? Let's "get those birds in the air" and compare!

I'm a full-time firefighter and I have been thinking about getting my part 107, for maybe doing some jobs on the side. Would you suggest an upgrade to the 3 Air?

    • @IdahoQuadcopter
      @IdahoQuadcopter  Před 8 měsíci +1

  • @geezerpleasers_OG
    @geezerpleasers_OG Před 11 měsíci +1

    I've been looking forward to seeing you fly the Air 3 at the canyon. This is a great look at the drone.
    I'm still leaning toward waiting for an Air 3S or a Mavic 4 Pro. DroneXFactor had an interesting take. In his view, the Air 3 is the successor to the Air 2, not the Air 2S, and viewed that way, it's a big step forward. Just as the Air 3S will be a big step forward from the Air 2S, I'm sure.
    The video looks over-sharpened to me. Maybe DJI needs to do some work on that, and it will improve after a future firmware update.
    Pilot Institute did a series of comparison shots among the Air 3, the Mavic 3 Classic, the Mini 3 Pro, and the Air 2S. You can't put too much into it, because most of the clips were either underexposed or overexposed, but when they compared the 3X lenses, the Mavic 3 ate the Air 3's lunch. That also may be a candidate for a future firmware fix on the Air 3.
    I will look forward to your future Air 3 videos. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from you.

    I think the Air 3 is a side grade because of not having 5.4k and the FOV being less than the Air 2s. It is an Upgrade from the original Air 2 though.

  • @ryanjonesdronechannel724

    Aire 3 looks cool. Will probably be sticking woth the Mini 2 for now myself. On a side note, I recently moved to Spokane Vallyb(used to live in Snohomish before then). Alreadyvfound a few good spots to fly at innthe Spokane area. Though I think I will be scouting put some places in the Post Falls and Cour d Alene areas as well sometimes (maybe Hayden Lale amd Sandpoint areas on some occasions too). Didna drone fligjt in Post Falls last week (long before the wildfires happened on Friday). In the Washington side, 2 good spots I have seem are Loon Lake as well as the Spokane River right along the Washington Idaho Border In a pull out area along Seltice Way (aka Apple Way) near the bridge. Will probably check out Sprague Lake out towards Ritzvklle sometime too.

      @IdahoQuadcopter True. Definitely a change of scenery for me after living in the Seattle area for so long. Already found a few good spots to fly from: Saltese Wetlands area near Liberty Lakes, Loon Lake to the north of Spokane (boat launches are usually fair game in Washington State, at least when they are not busy). Also in the Idaho side of the border, I already found at least 3 good spots to fly at: near the Idaho Washington border to the north of 90, there is a pull put along apple way, aka seltice way that i wa able to fly from. In Post Falls just north of the bridge there is an undeveloped area thst I was able to fly from and get views of the Spokane River through there. In Couer d Alene area, there are some spots along tbe lake thst works well too. Will probably find more places over time, but it will take getting time getting more familiar woth the new areas.
