First of all thank you so much for watching and enagaging on the video. Thats honestly all that I could ask for and I'm so thankful for each person that watches my videos. I had a blast shooting and editing this peice with the help of my boy Tcup on the camera. He crushed it. His instagram is down in the description. That said, this is a new type of video that I havent had much experience before. So if you like the vibe of me trying to storytell these wild adventures then please drop a comment and let me know what you like and what I could do next.
When it comes to this new Air unit by DJI, I'm so grateful that they trusted me to showcase what this little component can do. I do recommend this product highly as its better than anything else ive used on the market and I truly believe it will be the new standard in all FPV builds.
So if you are looking to purchase this air unit here is a link that lets DJI know I helped with your purchase decisions

Underrated channel, The efforts deserve much more.
Keep it up.
Phenomenal! DJI always delivers when it comes to immersive flight experience. You showcased it so well!!!👏
Thank you
The new O3 air unit from DJI has been really gamechanging! It brings back the thrill of flying these lil drones!
Yes it really does
what an adrenaline rush of a video loved every second
Thanks brother I’m glad you liked it
As a seasoned FPV pilot I approve this video as one of the most informative I’ve watch on the last 30 minutes.
haha and Im glad ya think so
Desde Colombia 🇨🇴. Tengo 70 años y me siento muy feliz de ver la tecnología en manos de alguien que sabe y disfruta. Aplausos 👏👏👏 y gracias.
Stunning footage from the O3 system! I saw some reviews already and the transmission's been getting real good feedback! DJI did not disappoint as always!
thanks brother for watching and sharing your thoughts. Had a fun time with this video
Color grading is incredible.. amazing work
The shot when you are diving the mountains in the clouds 😩 Just epic!
Thanks boss
Awesome as always!
Congrats to this awesome video🤩🤩🤩 As soon as available, i will get the O3 unit and Goggles2 for my 3inch quad😍
Dude ur effort is appreciated.. loved it
Killed this review man! Can't wait to get my hands on this
Thank you brother
sick my broa .... sick
Amazing 🤯🔥
WOW!!! This was AWESOME!!!! Looking forward to seeing more of your work! Thanks for sharing!
thank you Jason. Was a crazy time but I have an India trip coming up so stray tuned

It is very nice to watch thank you for the effort you put in that video it is awesome
I appreciate it
Pretty awesome video and images!!! this system is gonna make us happy for sure!!!
Oh yeah it’s gonna be a fun one
fire as always
thank you Gabe. worked hard on it
Beautiful, thanks for sharing my friend!
Thank you for watching
Awesome shots !
thank you was a crazy trip
broooo that was sick!!!! my o3 arrives in a few days and i cant wait!!
Was an epic time. You will like it
Fly More!! 🦅 Great Video!!! 💯
oh I need to. I edit too much. I wanna fly every day
What is the process of getting such great results? And what are your Recording settings? It looks really fantastic. i only had a chance to fly it for like 6 Packs right now, but results are not close to yours
Great video... Damm I wish I could colour grade like this 🔥
so cool
thank you for the comment
Inspiring content
Nice video👍
Thank you my man worked hard to put it out
Are you kidding me this is nuts dude!!!👏🏽👏🏽
thanks boss we should go shoot a vlog together
Yes sir!!🫡
Damn... Those spines. Wow
My favorite
Lmao crazy to see your video, I always see your clips on the screens in Maverick gas stations 😂
Would still fly a with hero 11 but still want it
The experience of flying tho is worth every penny
Amazing :p
Thanks 😆
jesus this place is literally heaven
Honestly is
Incredible review and flying! I think I've watched every review of the O3 Air Unit, and this is, by far, the best. What would you estimate for the ranges that you were getting?
Thanks for the vid.
I flew up to a mile and a half at some points. Obviously to get the best range you need to have clear line of sight.
Awesome I can’t wait I’m going digital in January and this might be my air unit I’m going with currently learning on analog
Trust you might cry when you put the new goggles on. The latency is probably not as good as your analog system but the quality is so worth it
@@NathanMcBride can’t wait. I’ve seen the difference and it’s definitely amazing . I get so much break up and analog already cost me a quad got horrible breakup and a light pole magically appeared from no where .
How do you mitigate the 03 defect where it has smooth footage and bad gyro data. your gyro flow seemed to be working pretty well. I got mine to work by modifying it.
Wow this is amazing , you are profesional pilot bro
Thank you
I’m still looking for one more answer and maybe somebody can tell me. You can connect the dji controller 2 straight to the o3. But how about range for the dji controller compared to like crossfire?
I hope can fly like you soon bro, very inspiring video
I’m glad you like it
Great content!
Thank you 🙏🏼
whats setting do you use for gyroflow for air 3 unit 🙂
very nice 👍👍
thank you Samarinda
if you lost your video signal will you lost controller signal at the same time?
Kahana Bay. Miss that place!
that was nice... however the old dji fpv also boasts a similar 10km range on fcc in a noise free environment... so really for someone like me who is not in any other protocol, the biggest win for me is the remote v2 capability...
but honestly, this is best for those who don't already have a fleet of drones and gopros..
overall the review is great.. the flight footage is really most enticing among reviews i have seen so far. just basic cinematic shots and mid range cruising to showcase the landscape from a better lens...
i would have loved to see goggles recording though 1.5miles out on those mountains...
You are awesome 😎
haha thank you
I like super strong that 3d print for air inflow near the o3 unit lol
hahah yeah
Dude we need a tutorial on your quad and settings. I got the nazgul evoque f5 and it keeps disconnecting midflight forcing me to drop it from the sky so I don't lose it. I end up damaging my drone and gopro
Does the DJI O3 air unit support a 4:3 aspect ratio at 4k@30 fps?
What are your camera settings? How do you get rid of the chatter seen in other Avata camera videos? (Blurry noise near bottom of frame when going fast)
50 frames at 50 shutter
When you said “I approached some of the best builders in my area” 😂 How could you not know how to swap out a new air unit and be flying FPV this day and age!? Rad video though!
Good question… I’m a cinematographer first not a builder. First of all. I do know how to change out motors and air units if needed but there were a couple things I’m glad I had them for when it comes to switching out the unit. On the specific quote I had to stand off‘s were too tight so they did it fit the camera automatically so we had to design it and 3-D prints a mount for the camera that would reduce micro vibrations. Also we had to re-pin the coax cable so we would properly line up with the flight controller because the power lied was lined up incorrectly for the certain type of flight controller that was on the quad. And the back up quad that I had needed to be fully built from the ground up and I was leaving in one day so it’s better to consult with people that really know what they’re doing
Dude so immersed start to finish. The new air unit looked so impressive. Also, helps you’re a goated FPV pilot haha. So sick bro! 🙌🏽
Thank you boss glad you enjoyed it
Can you tell us what frame kit you used to fly? I really like the bracket that holds O3 camera
The frame is from the basic that rebel mini quads sells or the bigger green one is called Nazgûl 6d o3 version by I flight
what would u perfer to use ,,,,, crossfire ,or just use the dji contoller
I would like it to be more simple and just use the DJI controller
Amazing flying man , what do you use to color grade your videos .
I use my own custom lut
I want the combo with the googles!! 🤩
right
Hey buddy, i would like to ask you how's the interface between drone and DJI RC? have you ever lost connection mid-flight?
You channel will blow up any day now :)
work hard everyday and one day
what is ur specs in footage and what nd fitlers do you using?
I can’t wait to progress onto a more legit Kwad from my dji fpv and Avata. Both of which I love, but knowing now that I can purchase a pre build with this air unit, and use my goggles V2 and controller across all is so exciting.
I’m just struggling on what is best for a newbie coming from DJI fpv and Avata, should I get a whoop (summin with ducts) or a 5 inch?
I’m interested in the flight bumblebee and Nazgûl, or one of the rotor riot prebuilds.
They offer both whoop and 5 inch as well.
What’s best way to go/ place to start? I’m more cinema/landscape cruises and dives around the coastlines on Cornwall rather than hectic bando freestyle (but that could change with my skills improving?
A 5 inch seems like it’ll take more of a beating and will carry my action 3 easier, but whoop seems safer as new as I won’t have the ‘oh shit’ button or rth, which I’m of course used to having as failsafe with the fpv and Avata.
I almost spent nearly £300 on eBay for a refurbishment of the big dji fpv controller, the phantom looking black one, literally last week, as was told it’s better to get that on its own first, but I’m so glad I didn’t now this option is available. One controller and goggles that I already own, being compatible for multiple different kwads, from dji fpv to Nazgûl evoque or something is so cool.
What would guys at your level say is best step forward coming from manual mode Avata and dji fpv. A whoop, a 5, or the 7? (Bob57 literally is best of both!) so there’s too many options to know where to start.
I do feel I’m ready to progress slowly so best options are either iflight BNF or one of the rotor riot prebuilds.
Your expertise and ideas will be really helpful.
Sorry for such a long comment, I just have many questions, and don’t know anyone into the hobby locally so asking online is about the best option currently. That I’m overly excited as I’m loving it since finally getting to manual mode and getting more comfortable with it with each flight.
"A whoop, a 5, or the 7"
Your answer depends on what you want to do. Indoor spaces with people (like the one shot videos)? A whoop (although if you have the Avata already, skip this.
Freestyling and bando bashing? the 5 inch.
Long range cinematic? 7 inch.
Yeah there are so many options to choose from I personal first bought a cinewoop so I could crash without having to rebuild or buy new quads as often But its also important to grab a 5 inch when you are starting to feel more confident. But I agree with your opinion about not having your bando quad have the new air unit if you know you are going to crash alot.
Also make sure to get the slim new DJI FPV controller show in the video. its honestly the best if you can get your hands on it
@@NathanMcBride hey. Yeah I already have the controller and goggles v2 from my dji fpv. Then I bought the Avata as drone only. I was guna buy the big controller to start preparing on liftoff for getting a legit kwad…. So glad I didn’t now as it was £280 on eBay refurbished and that was a good price.
Now I can just buy and prebuilt kwad with the 03 unit and not need multiple radios and goggles.
So good.
I just don’t know where’s best to start.
I liked the look of the iflight bumblebee or the Nazgûl as they both seem popular options.
I’m guna wait and see what rotor riot prebuilt options they offer before I make a choice.
It’s just so ideal that I only need one controller and goggles for the whole fleet now… both of which I already own.
It’s such an addictive hobby, even coming from learning manual on my dji fpv, n then recently the Avata, that I no doubt will get multiple kwads as time goes on and I get better and know more what fits my needs.
Cheers for the content. Can’t wait to get to a more competent level to be uploading sick fpv footage all around Cornwall.
Is this good for iflight Nazgul DC? Will use my DJI FPV controller 2 and goggles v2. Any suggestions
I use the Nazgûl 6d with the new air unit
Also I haven’t used the air unit with the v2 goggles yet so I’m not sure
Круто!
Nathan, you have the best FPV footage of DJI O3, so DJI should reward you with an award! All the best!
thank you for your kind words. What was your shots?
I'm not sure what's more impresive ... the drone or the helicopter 😆😆
Honestly the helicopter
hi if possible i like to know the settings you use.. thanx
50 frames a second 50 shutter ultra wide
Thanks!, in quality, colors, Dynamic range, sensor... which ir better, GoPro 11 mini or O3 air unit??? what do you think
I would still take the hero 11 for the dynamic range
So if you want better quality footage, use a GoPro.
I put a GoPro on my current setups…what exactly am I missing out on not jumping to the o3? More latency?
got my O3 today, cant wait to fly that beast in my wing.
Dude you are gonna love it
@@NathanMcBride oh i love it already, today i made the first flight with my Avata (had to wait over a month for the controller 2) That image ist so clear and sharp! Soooo Awesome!
I will made a smal wing (arround 80-90cm wingspan) for die O3 Airunit. Cant wait to here my cnc cutting Balsawood.
What frame should I mount to if I’m looking for a sub 250g version?
I’m not sure about that honestly
Is it possible to go manual on the camera? Can it be locked in at 60fps 120shutter iso 100? Your footage looks really Nice while eventyrhistorie I’ve seen so far has looked like a GoPro on auto function.
Yeah it does lock into a manual mode and you can have those settings I personally have been rocking 50 at 50 shutter
@@NathanMcBride doesn’t this also turn the video feed to the goggles in the same mode? Making it possible harder to fly in say, darker areas with camera not adjusting for shutter/iso etc?
@@ArcticriderFPV yes that is the disadvantage to having manual controls within the goggles. However there is quite good dynamic range in the goggles that helps you see the details within the shadows. Now one thing to be aware of is that the image that comes from the camera is quite sharp almost seems pretty crushed but with some color grading you can definitely pull back the shadows quite a lot
@@NathanMcBride thanks for the answer. Not throwing away my GoPro just yet 😉 But a Nice alternative for sure!
What is the drone u used in this video??
Can you make a video about the drone like how you build it because I am new and a bit confused with all that parts?😅
Some prebuilt drones like the Nazgûl 6d is a good option
Nathan I do have one or two questions. I've seen footage of people using the Tango 2 with the new O3, but I thought the new system was only compatible with the DJI FPV RC 2. Would I be able to use, say, my Tango 2 and still have telemetry and OSD on my goggles? probably not but worth asking anyways.
The new O3's range is good, I know you mentioned it and gave an example, but the original air unite never had a problem flying from the highest points or even just flying long distance over 300-400 feet high, so I bet the new one is even better. However, how about those proximity flies in irregular landscapes like mountains or forests, would you say the new O3 is considerable improved for someone who don’t care at all about image quality but signal reliability and long range capabilities?
Yes you can use other remotes not just DJI’s. The penetration is better but not perfect. It’s all dependent on your surroundings so always be careful and mindful of where you are and what your signal levels are
@@NathanMcBride awesome thank you and once again great video.
Is there a way to take stills with the air unit 3?
Since you can do that with the Avata
You wouldn’t want to
You are flying fully manual FPV
@@NathanMcBride ok yeah that makes sense :D
I thought i could cheat my way out of getting an extra drone for that
great job! what drone config is used here other than O3 unit?
what do you mean? like what drone set up did I do? My drone was build by Rebel mini quads
@@NathanMcBride yes, what drone set up did you used?
Awesome review brother. But how on earth were you allowed to take the drone in the plane cabin without covering the propellers??? 🤣😂
they never ask me to cover the props but who knows
I may have missed it in the video but what settings did you use? Is there noticeably too much latency when shooting in 4k?
No not horrible but probably not the best for racing
@@NathanMcBride I see. Do you think you could do light racing when shooting at 1080p?
It streams to goggles at 1080P and at the same time O3 Air Unit will record in 4K
Now, take it to the big island and get some footage of the Mauna Loa eruption
Oh I would love to but I have planned some upcoming travels
What range do you get from the O3 unit? Ignoring what DJI says about 10KM. Im looking for real long range results. Cheers
If you have clear line of sight it’s insanely impressive however the penetration at longer ranges still has a little bit to be desired
@@NathanMcBride thanks but what sort of range? Some people class 2km as impressive.
Dji state it’s has 10km transmission so before purchasing im looking for results.
Cheers
Epic video!! Is it even worth it to use a GoPro anymore or just to use the air unit to record?
I think the GoPro still provides higher dynamic range and the option to lower sharpness. However the redundancy that an air unit plus an action camera gives is also very nice considering the action camera sometimes has errors that you can’t catch until the flight is done
That makes sense, thanks for responding
@@gabriel-ox3ch of course my man
Just one question.... is it possible to fly this with the old goggles???
Yes the air unit is backwards compatible so you absolutely can fly with your old goggles
I’ll be keeping my goggles v2 and using a mixture of o3 and vistas
Up to you but I think the new goggles are the biggest upgrade
Hey Nathan, you using the 6" Nazgul or the 5"? :)
Both
@@NathanMcBride nice, would you rather to pick your 6" Nazgul than the 7,5" Chimera?
@@ozevns I would say so but depends on what batteries you are putting on it and what’s your intention
it is great drone camera - quality and distance. the recording is good well for non-comercial. for comercial still better use gopro or better.
I agree
So I guess you don't need your phone when flying the O3 AIR unit, but when flying ready to fly out of the box drone, then you do need it, right ?
why is the video so stable? Does it have built in stabilizer?
Yes it does
I shoot ultra wide with rocksteady
But why is there a gopro on your quad....
And also why is your lens angle so small ..
So I’m actually coming out with a video showing the difference between the gopro footage and the air unit so I wanted to compare the two. And always good to have a backup. Low Lens angles allow for more control in certain scenarios. Depending on the situation I will have different lens angles
still has less bitrate and dynamic range like the avata cam, better put a gopro hero 11 on the drone. great review awsome pilot!
I agree in a sense but I am surprised by the results still. I’d say it’s good for social work
bruh, where you live ?? nice trails !
This is not where I live. I traveled here
@@NathanMcBride cool, where is this place ?
What 8s your favourite fpv drone???
I’d say my 5 inch custom drone is the most fun but the avata is also such a fun drone to fly
@@NathanMcBride DJI Avata or DJI FPV drone??, what do u like themost?
Man I need the hook ups that you all have!
Trust me it’s a lot of work still
@@NathanMcBride of that I am have no doubt!
Shot on air unit or GoPro10?
Everything was shot on the air unit
Hi nathan ...i meet you at varanasi ghat on evening ganga aarti....
How are you getting this video from the FPV camera without getting props in the shot???
honestly it was hard. I got props in the shot while using ultra wide so its important you think about that during the build process. That said when you adjust the lens distortion in post to bend back the image it can help hide the props from view. When you are shooting "wide" there isn't as much of an issue
I’m pretty new to fpv . So I have the question do you have to use the DJI fpv remote with this air unit or could I use my tbs tango 2 and how hard would that be to do or just easier to use the DJI remote
Yes. You can use crossfire or ELRS or...... any receiver. This has more to do with your flight controller. While the 03 can be used for RX you are not tied to using the RX of the 03. This would be a pretty easy swap in to any quad with a vista already installed. If you already have a different radio installed you don't need to change anything. Just keep using your current radio.
@@whereverimayroam74 thank you 🙏 I’m still on analog digital is a little confusing till I get one just trying to be prepared for my first build . I think I’m going to try the fpv2 remote to keep it simple and clean
На какое расстояние улетал?
я пролетел до 3 км
It would be nice if you could send us your drone attachments.
thks
V3 goggles ?!?
Any recommendation for flight controller, esc motor, to go with this?? Thankss!!
yeah so I flew 2 different quads for this video. One 5 inch made by Rebel mini quads and 1 nazgul from Iflight. Both were great options. I would say Rebel mini quads was a much more simple build but flys great. and nazgul has super nice flashy drone great for long range cinematic
The Rebel Mini Quads had a rush stack
@@NathanMcBride Have you ever tried GepRc Mark 5? how does it compare to both? im using dji fpv but got too much jelly and vibration on the video, so im opting for this route :)
1.7” sensor? You mean 1/1.7” sensor
Haha yes actually. I made this mistake and I noticed right after posting it. My bad
