    Great overview Gavin, did it go down when you nicked a prop? Also I have not been able to get audio on the screen recordings and the screen recordings are not stored on the external card, so they are a pain to get off the controller

    • @GAVINHR
      @GAVINHR  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I have managed to get them on the SD card I think but I will now check, I needed to change the storage location manually on the controller for it to work, i will try with the audio myself and see what happens and incredibly - the Air 3 managed to stay in the air and it managed to free itself from being stuck on the branch

    When I looked at the specs for transmitter power it shows the 5.2GHZ frequency is only available in CE countries with a power of 23dbm. So would the FCC hack be worth it. I run my mini 3 pro in FCC mode which doubled its range and gave much stronger signal. Is the new O4 connection any better then the mini 3 pro in fcc mode

    To quickly summarize: Once you've reached the "no obstacles" height, the Air 3 is basically a heavier Mini 3 Pro, with an extra 70MM eq lens. And if you normally fly in an area where the wind isn't always howling, you're paying 1,500$ for an extra 70mm eq camera.

      In all seriousness: Speaking from a photographer (not a videographer) point of view: The Air 3 basically get you the same as you get with the Mini 3 Pro. Most of the enhanced features are video related. So if you're a videographer, and you like flying low, close to obstacles, you like shooting parallax etc. the Air 3 does offer added capabilities over the Mini 3 Pro - no doubt about it.

    The Air 3 is the first aircraft to put the "size matters" folks to sleep. This drone (sensors) is a game changer. It flies better than my M3 Cine with the very same flight time. Two rear-stacked sensors that are identical, making post with both cameras far easier. O4 is the best range/penetration to date.

    Nice Video Gavin, thanksI I take on board all the points you make and for sure, the additional telephoto lens is great for quick results. I struggle with the downgrade in sensor size on this drone though - it's generally agreed that a larger sensor will produce better results and even with my limited skills in video editing, it's fairly easy to crop in and achieve the same result. if the original footage is at high enough resolution and from a larger sensor, you'll arguably get better quality. I suppose they couldn't have given this drone a larger sensor, as it'd compete too strongly with the Classic. I'll stick with the Air2S for a good while yet, particularly with DJI's 'somewhat short' product life cycle!
