I'm so glad they sent YOU the drone, because you're the only one I know who will tell us and show us the most details, that nobody else will. I'm not interested only in the footage, but also the features, flight perfomance, and much more, and I know exactly that all of my questions will be answered in your videos.
I thought this was clickbait at first thinking HOW did Dustin get his hands on this - did DJI watch the demise of all the Mini 3 Pros (not ALL Dustin's doing 😊)
Kudos to you Mr Dunhill🎉
You deserve it , congrats, just hurry up and do the range text , I would be happy if u could it the same hill you did the skydio 2 range test
Thanks! It's gonna be a long and detailed rest of the series 🍻
@@DustinDunnill Awesome - can't wait
@@DustinDunnill omg, you replied! :D I can't wait on range test, but I guess that will be the last vid from the series, cuz we never know, if the drone makes it back... 😂 I'm curious if it will be better than mavic 3 was. Thanks for doing theese nice detailed vids tho. I always watch them in the evening as a film or something. :DD
Glad to see you back buddy! And congrats on joining the club!
Still blows my mind Dji was able to squeeze out 12.5 miles at 800 Milliwatts @2.4Ghz. Thats around 3 miles more than mavic 3. Can't wait for the range tests.
Awesome review, can’t wait to see the range test.
same
OMG the king of range test is doing the O4!!! This is going to be WILD!
ive missed your drone reviews - looking forward to the field tests and especially the range tests :)
Great video Dustin on the DJI AIR 3, I'm waiting for my combo to arrive soon.
Was looking forward to your video, nothing beats it
Absolute positively the best box opening and deep down presentation I have ever seen. I am subscribed and you are the first place I go to now. Thank you.
Can't wait to see the in-depth flight review and range test..Feeling excited!
Awesome solid review Dustin as always! looks like the cousin to the Mavic 3?? cant wait for the range test!!
Now in excited to watch a range test again ,great review!!!
I can’t wait for your range test!
Cant wait to see how the vertical shooting looks like! Great video
as always waiting for that range test!
Great video, as usual.
great review, this could well be my next drone , looking forward to your flight video
Another Awesome video thank you
Watching your videos made me want to buy my first Dji Drone a week ago
I really got a help from you cause my disco and it's 4g mod! And that new mavic 3 air looks so shiny.. thx for good video and info!
Bro your amazing and I love this video and I like what u did in the end love it thanks a lot
Ready for your range test!
☘️ Great product & good to see you back… Looking forward to the range test on this one ..
You got one Dustin !!!!
Great device 🧡
You did a very wonderful unboxing the Dji air 3 drone❤.So far, I am still flying the mini 2
Thank you!
Thank you for a job well done ✌️
Can’t wait for the range test
I don’t have the 1500 quid right now (for the full set including the fly more and rc2) but I’m excited to save up for it for the next few months. I’ve sold my phantom 4 a few years ago because it was too heavy regulation wise, the lighter drones where way too light and way too sensitive to wind, so I’ve been waiting for years for this product. The air 2s just wasn’t “it” and the mavic 3 pro was way too much money. Seems this is the perfect drone for a lot of people. I truly appreciated this video, going very deep into detail which I really think is a must for any good review of a new product! Thank you!
FANTASTIC DRONE 😊🥰🇦🇹
Watching from Mandaluyong City Philippines
super review , looking forward to test flight
More of the Air 3 tests are up on my channel 🍻
Nice!!!
Great unboxing.
I am at the moment in the U.S. but will go back in a year to Europe. Can you tell me if the "U.S. Version" of the air 3 has all these CE labels in the battery "trunk" of the drone?
I know it will switch automatically from fcc to ce, but is it marked on the drone? I saw in your video that is labeled on the remote, batteries and charger.
Thank you
best drone ive ever used
it looks amazing
This is amazing. You got 1 already😮😮 so lucky that we followed you😅
Maka sanaol ba? Hehe
I am going to wait for a drone with a 4/3 24mm and 1 inch 70mm 😊😊 currently have a mini 3 pro.
Informative review, Dustin. Cool new feature with the battery hub being able to self charge partial-charge batteries from lesser charged batteries. Would be awesome if DJI were able to upgrade the Mini 3 pro hub to do the same. Also, have you had a chance to see if the RC2 will work with the Mini 3 Pro?
I haven't tested it but the consensus is no because it's a different Ocusync version 🍻
Wondering if you could use the usbc cable for the air 2s charger to charge this model as well 🤔
23:35 Cool little cameo by the cat in the upper left corner
Thanks! Looks like this will be a nice package. Can’t believe DJI still doesn’t ship premium drones with a hard case.
Love it
most thorough review I've seen- looks like it will overheat while charging outside in Texas summer though. And with the $100 (needed charger) and $100 NDs price is pretty close to Mavic 3
DJI FINALLY fixed the issue of prop and power button placement on the drone. I along with many others have experienced the drone powering itself in the bag because the power button would get pressed by the props. Now they are separated. Hopefully the new placement of the button is still not prone to accidental presses in the bag.
ALWAYS wondered about this happening. NEVER heard of it though..TILL NOW.
Wow.. Nice
Please do a comparison video with Mavic Dji 3 Classic Vs Dji Air3 Please Please
Dustin does DJI not supply a power adapter to charge the batteries now ? I seen the 100watt one in the video but no normal 60watt one in the flymore package , oh and is there no spare sticks for the remote ??
Correct X2. Good points. Probably cutting costs. Definitely 2 cons! As for the power adapter, I think they should really start including them at least with the kits with screen built into controller since those folks may not have a high power phone charger 🍻
Is the screen on the RC2 the same size as the RC1? Tia...
33:32 that is the loudest beep I’ve ever heard on a DJI drone
Good for locating 😁🍻
Um drone espetacular.
What about remote ID or registration? Is it required to take off??
It's great that if finally has waypoints. Does it have offline mission planning to set your waypoints at home?
Also, is there any hope of installing third party apps on the controller? Being able to access Dronelink, AirData UAV, B4UFLY, Avia Weather, etc. straight from the controller would be awesome.
You can plan waypoint missions with drone on and connected to controller but only by tapping screen map for now (updates may change this). I'll do a mission and see if it can avoid obstacles soon 🍻
Is DJI going to put out an improved Air 3S a half a year after the Air 3? I imagine there is some Air 2 people out there that are still pretty bitter. This is pretty awesome looking tho
THANK YOU SO MUCH not only for the great video but also for your correct pronunciations of the letter T. I cringe when I hear bu uns. EVEN reporters on TV are doing it. It is becoming a pet peeve for me. lol Thanks again.
😂🍻
Sending too much information to "DJI China" for my taste. But "Big Thumbs Up" on Product Detail, Dustin. As always Top Quality Works.
Nice Video. Is the quality of the picture the same, using the wide lens and zooming in 3 times, or using the telephoto lens?
Tell me you're not an experienced photographer without telling me that you are not an experienced photographer 🤷🏼♂️
Hopefully I’ll upgrade my Air 2S next year. I’m so far completely sold.
Thanks for doing this video Dustin!
You were kinda M.I.A. for a while. Please try to post more regularly, it's going to majorly impact your channel. Believe me you have the audience you just need the content.
I mean nothing I said to be negative or to try and tell you what to do...
I'm simply a huge supporter of your channel and I want to see your channel and more like yours, grow and flourish!
He post all the time just not drones
@@w.e.s. I gotchya, I wasn't aware thanks for letting me know.
That damn youtube algorithm can definitely hide things. Appreciate it brother 🤙
Thanks. I've been spending time with our new son Tyka more.
Does it work with the RC Pro?
Hope you are staying safe in the fires. Thinking of you and the family.
All safe. Not in Hawaii now. Thank you 🍻
Does the Air 3 RC2 fly more combo include the ND filters like the Air 2s did or no?
No unfortunately
When Range test..?
Nice to see you haven’t disappeared. Dustin
Been spending a lot of time with our new baby boy Tyka 🍻
can you inform me ...max altitude of air 3
So dji finally bring google map to its remote controllers with screen? The older map they used, I forgot about what company they used for the map is really bad. This is good to see they brings back google map.
I’ve been waiting on you to get another DJI drone. Now I am waiting for the range test. Dji specks says 32 kilometers transmission that’s around 19 miles lol if thats true then if anyone can get close to that it’s definitely you. I want this drone. Hopefully someday I’ll be able to get it.❤
No it doesn't.
For the first time, huh? Awesome! You must have lots of kids!
😂
Just got mine a couple of days ago. I dont know why they switched from zippers to latch and with the block of foam inside, the drone sticks out so much that the lid is actually pressing down on the drone. Doesn't seem like a "dustproof" bag for sure.
I'm wondering if the foam provide any extra protection cuz removing it definitely sits the drone lower thus the lid can close properly
I'm pretty sure the foam is mainly for shipping. I ended up cutting it and just placing a thin flat layer at bottom. Adds some ground protection and the drone doesn't stick up nearly as much 🍻
@@DustinDunnill Oh great idea!
Can you put a anti-collision light on the bottom of this fro dusk/night flying (as well as the top), or would that interfere with the sensor?
I just got my Air 3 yesterday and it has a auxiliary light on the bottom that’s super bright
@@ecoboostedfuze yeah I know about that, but you need a blinking light. I figured it out, right behind the camera there's a spot where I put velcro and put one of my anticollision lights and it works perfectly
Is there a Sharpness and Noise Reduction setting in Camera options as well?
I haven't seen it. Post process editing can do this. Perhaps with an update. 🍻
@@DustinDunnill DJI released an update appearantly which introduced these two options. Should be even better than my Mini 3 Pro then even.
Wow ok that was quick! I know it's had a few more updates since my videos. Glad to hear of the improvements 🍻
For the DJI RC I’ve never really been a fan of it. Sure it’s nice not to have to use your phone but personally I prefer to use my phone on the n1 or n2 controller because that way I’m able to have all the maps and if I ever get an update while I’m on a trip I can quickly do it without having to go back to connect to wifi to update my drone. But that’s just me.
Good point. You could also tether to your mobile phone hotspot in the field with their built in screen controllers 🍻
I like the size of the Air 3 I have a Mavic 3 Classic its a big drone compared to this I always buy the GPC Hard cases for my drones the bag that they give sucks
Recently bought the Air 3 fly more bundle (not free). Its a high quality, state-of-art drone. What others need to beware of is that they don't include a USB power charger. While this might not seem to be a big deal because most people have a couple USB chargers laying around, but the AIR 3 realistically requires a 65 watt charger to charge the batteries in a reasonable amount of time. I used a standard USB charger and it took about 18 hours to charge the batteries, thus I had to buy a 65 Watt charger. It is puzzling that if a person is spending over $1350 for a drone, why does DJI skip out on the charger, or warn customers that a 65 watt charger is strongly recommended.
Just got mine today. I'm using the apple brick from my M1, takes about 1 or 1 and a half hours to charge each battery. It is a 130 watt charger
Its because if they include the charger, they have to customize each shipped box with country-specific chargers (for the wall sockets).
While if they dont include it, they can ship the exact same box from the same factory to the entire world, without changing anything.
I can see coming from a fanboys point of view ...paying a premium price doesn't mean the love of my life needs to include or separate the power plugs for different countries? 😉😂
@@DustinDunnill Bought at Costco because it was on sale and something my two boys (10 & 12) would enjoy learning to fly. Never heard of DJI before that.
I’m a LOT concerned as to how the gimbal/cameras STICK OUT A MILE like that virtually unprotected. “Russ” @ 51 Drones says the gimbal only moves a mere 5 degrees or so L or R. Weird so little. It looks like a GREAT upgrade though from DJI! GREAT video Dustin!
It only moves 5° left / right when you move it by touching screen and dragging in those directions. It moves more to stabilize video if needed 🍻
I'm so ready for the range test😂😂😂💥💥💥🤘
What’s the dimensions of this bag?
lets go rsnge test please do ut fast
On my second flight of the Air 3, I unintentionally flew too close to a tree that had lost all of its leaves, the Air 3 did not detect the outer branches and got hung up. I was lucky because it was only 7-8 feet off the ground and was able to safely retrieve the done without damage. It was a good lesson not to rely on the built-in avoidance to always prevent collisions. Likely to be a problem with power lines and other thin structures.
They need to get rid of obstacle avoidance. It's a false sense of security. It's dangerous. I've flowm for 4 years and never used that garbage
If you guys actually took your license you'd know that its your responsibility to fly safe (for the drone's sake), not to rely on automated systems. Naturally i cant pick up thin objects or it'd pick up its own arms and propellers.
It's there for if you lose connection to the drone and it has to return home automatically, it wont just blindly run into a huge rock or building.
It's not there for you to close your eyes and hold forward.
I like closing my eyes to see if drones can do what brands claim.
Do you have your drivers license? Then STOP SPEEDING and don't be a hypocrite. Your 1million more times likely to cause damage or injury driving, not testing a drones auto tracking and avoidance capabilities in the forest 🤷♂️😂🤗
@@DustinDunnill I don't understand the comment.
@@nrnoble Dustin is referring to the other two comments who are critical of the safety features - you're all good man - thanks for the tip
Please give me Parrot Night Fury or Parrot Disco!
Cheers from Bucharest Romania!!
Would the Air 3 fit a mavic 3 case?
It's smaller...so yes 🍻
Is the Air 3 compatible with the RC Pro RC?
I'd think Ocusync 4 would be compatible with likewise products with updates 🍻
Ok...... Just so you know.....I'm not patiently waiting for your first review video(s)!!!
Maybe you will have to start going live so we don't have to wait for the best (as always) reviews!
😂🍻
Is the rc2 faster than the rc1?
Yes, I can verify it's not nearly as sluggish (maiden flight up soon) 🍻
Battery drain is very high on the controller.
Before boarding a plane in Mexico, the officer questioned the size/power of the batteries of my Mavic Air 2.
Does any one know if these new bigger batteries would be allowed to take on your overhead luggage?
Man in mexico officially you are not even allowed to fly drones if you dont have a mexican passport. Super strange. I still fly my mini 3 pro with no issues. I just make sure there is no police near me when starting or landing. For over 250 gramm drones you have to register them. Anyhow just put the drone and everything accept of the batteries into the checkin luggage and only take the batteries into the overhead luggage. The batteries should be fine in your hand luggage.
@@paulerich6543 From my experience, the rules are rarely enforced and it also depends where you are flying. Archeological zones are definitely off limits, but you can always take off from a distance if you must get that shot. I usually fly in rural areas so if anything, local authorities are curious. I'm Mexican though, that might make a difference on how you get treated.
The airline lady, actually checked for the amperage and told me a max number that is allowed. That is why I'm wondering if these new larger batteries would be an issue. I hope not, because I'll very likely get this drone.
@@amlove2024 I'm not sure what the regulations are in Mexico but in the US, the maximum battery size is 100 watt-hours. Each Air 3 battery is 60 Wh, so you'd be fine in the US.
autel build quality is acyualy better with carbon fibre arms etc
Ya dji uses hard boiled egg shells
@@w.e.s. cheap sheet chinese plastic
When I saw the thumbnail I was telling my son, how did he get the a3 already? 😅
HEY THERE IS A POWER ACCUMULATION FUNCTION ON THE BATTERY CHARGING HUB WHERE IT CHARGES THE BATTERY WITH THE MOST CHARGE LEFT FROM THE OTHER 2 BATTERIES AND YOU CAN ACTIVATE IT BY HOLDING THE FUNCTION BUTTON ON THE CHARGING HUB AFTER PRESSING THE BUTTON ONCE ON EVERY BATTERY
Edit: QUICK TRANSFER IS FINALLY AVAILABLE WHICH CAN LET YOU TRANSFER FILES FROM THE AIR3 TO YOUR FLY APP ON YOUR PHONE
Yes, I mentioned it in the video. Great feature 🍻
Don’t you love how you can’t fly without a DJI account, I love giving DJI all of my data. So much fun
If you don’t want one, then you don’t want one.
Mavic 3: “am i a joke too you?”
well didn't dji delist it on the official shop website and app?
😂🍻
17:24 Similarities
Why is the screen down , ur hands will be there to operate the joysticks...
I need DJI mini 3 pro i wish
Me too bro
Keep wishing bro😂
4K only 60 fps? So basically it is a mini 3 with a different body style?
way better
Notice how 8k phones look worse than 2k pro cameras?
@@HungaryDrone I think the mini 3 is very under rated. I have been flying mine for a few months every day and I am still blown away by the pictures and super clean video. It is fast (customizable in every speed) and it flys miles more then I use, but man is it tough as I have bashed it good a few times testing the different configs. I have my set for the 1080p LG 60 in the basement and it looks fantastic. I have a few UV filters I keep an 8 on with polarization the standard config for pics in cyn modewith -.03 comp and on sunny bright days I might go higher, but regardless, I think even the mini 3 pro is another under rated drone. Also very good pics and film, I think 4k @120 fps and all the goodies to go with and ocusync 03 12 K range. So what does the new one do and how much is baseplate. I might review one and then tell the diffs. Thank Man Enjoy
Supposedly 100fps in 4k with updates.
Lol 00:01 ya boy
Lol..it does sound funny I guess 😂
Dji air 3 is look cool but i what dji mini 3 pro
Pretty good as a drone but DJI overdid it. The controller is very plastic and even more plastic the washer for operating the camera. But the worst thing is that the simple version does not have a charger in the package. Only one type-c cable. Whenever he charges the battery on the drone with a mobile phone charger, for example, it takes a long time to charge the controller with another cable (type-c) again from a mobile phone charger (if you don't have another) that also takes a long time to wear. It's like forcing him to get the combo package or a separate extra charger from DJI.
Good points 🍻
Anker makes a very good charger plug with two USB-C inputs that I highly recommend. It charges my iPhone and iPad about 40% faster than an apple plug that comes with these devices. It’s a light blue color, well built, and can be found on Amazon.
I see friends using cheap charger plugs like you’ll find at the checkout counter in convenience stores. I try to warn them about using these lightweight plugs. Aside from the fact that they can damage the battery on your expensive electronics, they can potentially cause a fire in the middle of the night and burn your house down - with you in it.
Or just buy a 65 watt charging brick for 20 bucks and charge your phone AND the drone fast.
@@Baleur 65 watts is a joke a 100 watt is the same price and twice as fast
I didn’t see a charger in the combo box???? If they had not sent you that 100 watt charger you could not charge the unit. I guess when I get my combo I won’t have a charger.
Unfortunately just a USB C cable. Looks like they are counting on people already having a wall plug with a C port from their phones 🤔
@@DustinDunnillour phones have low output chargers? I see you can order a 65 watt or the 100 watt charger you got. That really sucks. It would take forever to charge with a phone charger?
Newer phones usually come with higher powered chargers but yes, lower power will charge very slow. I just tried and realized my One+ 10 phone actually comes with a charger that charges the Air 3 batteries almost as fast as the DJI 100w I used in video 🍻
@@DustinDunnill Thanks!
Please give me dji spark drone please
Smaller camera,then the air2s not interested maybe when they come out with the air 3s but by then they might be banned in the US
Ha Ha Ha~ Don't think the so called Air 3S( Maybe called the Air 3Pro just like the traditional naming style of M3Pro/Mini 3Pro) will reuse the larger 1" sensor for the Air 3Pro, it's because when the Air 3Pro comes out maybe with 3 cameras just the the Mavic 3Pro did, if DJI wanted to squeezed 3 cameras into the smaller body of Air 3Pro, then the results will be just keeping use the old 1/1.3" sensor for saving the rooms for the gimbal, of course this is only my personal thought.
Don’t remind me….
Smaller sensor, better camera though. Way different technology vs the Air 2s.
