Thanks so much Jake. Great summary and walkthrough. Well done!
Glad it was helpful!
Great information, thanks for sharing Jake.
You’re welcome
Excellent Tutorial Training Video Jake. Thank You.
Glad you liked it!
Great video. Straight to the point. Thank you for sharing
Thanks
Sean Wow, incredible flight and distance test! The new Air 3 sure has improved a lot of the functionality compared to my Air 2😱. Thank you for the beautiful flight and distance test🙏👏👏.
I think you mean to comment this on Seans channel lol. Cheers Steve!
Thank you Jake. I saved your video as a reference manual.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for showing us your settings for getting better video. Great tutorial.
Glad to help
Great video, really helpful
awesome
Brilliant, thank you. Ive just bought one.
You're welcome
Looks cold and windy! Good video Jake
it was definitely windy!
We appreciate your hardworking sir ❤love from bangladesh 🇧🇩
Thank you so much 😀
Great video Jake! Just gave in and picked one up last week 😂.
hahaha awesome have fun!
Jake Sloan is a beast

@@JakeSloan quick question, I have the original mavic 3 and the tele lens is basically unusable. I can’t get the pro but I could sell it and get the air 3 for the 70mm lens. Would you think that would be a good move? I do real estate and various other content shots
Im very thankfull for show us how to get better drone pilot❤❤❤ ive own dji Air 3 also its perfectly amazing drone
awesome
Thank you
Wish I could still get those max speeds in the EU. Thank you for this video!
You're welcome!
Jake, Greatly appreciate your time & effort creating such a detailed video. You are making such a positive impact of my drone photography. A GREAT HELP!
I note the bright orange jacket you're wearing. Brand & where to purchase would be appreciated. Thanks...
That’s an arcteryx SV jacket. I believe they can be purchased online or through some sporting goods stores
I just discovered your TH-cam channel last week, as I wish to come back to using drones. Great review!
Quick question, can you photograph from the two lenses at once ? I do not find any information about this.
Thanks
Thanks, no only one camera at a time can be used
Excellent tutorial, thank you. Question: what Gain & Expo settings are used by the Air 3 with the Intelligent Flight Modes (i.e. FocusTrack, QuickShots, MasterShots, Waypoint Flight)?
Does it use the Remote's Flight Mode Settings whatever may be selected for the flight (Cine, Normal or Sport), or does it use other settings?
I don't know what gain and expo settings it uses in automated/smart flight modes, we don't have access to that information. It definitely uses something between normal and sport mode settings
Thanks for the video Jake! I am still wondering which settings I should use when I want to capture hyperlapse videos of the aurora in Norway 🙊 can you please let us know which settings you used with the Mavic 3 Pro?
I will try and do a video about that! Did you see my video about capturing the norther lights with the mavic 3?
hi /jake very good review of dji air3 ... alot of you tubers just bash and put this drone down but glad you don't...one big question ,,, is there a choice in which camera you will be shooting with ... there are 2 cameras but in settings i dont see how you can pick the one you want to use ....or do they both shoot at the same time ....i have only flown a couple of times but i think you should be able to use one camera at a time .. ..tele camera or the other . do you have advice please ...thanks again d
You select which camera using the 1x or 3x buttons on the screen by the record button
I want to buy one for offraoding competition still deciding between this and the mini 4 we take videos during the night too
the mini 4 is great but definitely cannot handle the same amount of wind the air 3 can for wild areas
Wow Jake, your subscribers said "wait and do a deep dive Air 3 video, instead of a quick impressions - and you're cranking them put now! Great content for DJI's newest. This is my "pick one drone to have on a Desert Island" 🏝 - still not sure how I charge batteries on the island though. Solar power? Wind? Its a work in progress for sure.
treadmill lol. Thanks much for the kind words
@JakeSloan lol yep. Next challenge: Internet. Then again that's only good if you want to be found 🤪
Great! Excited to see sharpness option but the problem is my menu doesn’t have it ?? I’m wondering why i don’t have it ? Any advice appreciated
make sure you are updated to the latest firmware
Appreciate the video! on my air3 in sport mode, the max horizontal speed is 21 not 47.... most of the max settings are about half of what your max settings are. Any idea as to what the issue is? firmware up to date tia
never mind was set to metric units not imperial lmao
NICE
Hi Jake. Are you getting in drone footage video noise/grainy? And how to avoid it? I have Air3, filming on 4k30 shutter 60, dlog m, nd freewell split filters.
keep your ISO a low as possible!
Nice video! I still don't know why the mavic 3 doesn't have the option adjust the noise reduction and sharpness in camera, while every other drone does have it. Sometimes, even the Dlog is very oversharpend.
Good question!
Wondering what lanyard and lanyard attachment you have attached to the under side of the RC?
I can't remember now lol I just found one on amazon
Hey Jake!! Just subbed! May I trouble you to ask what lens you are using when you are the focus? (in the orange jacket - intro for example). I am a TH-camr myself and would love to achieve that blurry background that you create. Thanks Jake!
most of the time I am using a Sony 24-105 f4 lens and this was at 70mm and f9
legend, thank you so much!!!!@@JakeSloan
i m totally beginner.I ust purchased
DJI AIR 3 WITH RC-2
pls advice or can share any link where i can understand that
"how i rotate my drone perfectly around a subject like a bride/groom but in low lever where both of hum body visible clearly
u will b grateful to all of us
Hello Jake, bought couple of weeks ago the AIR 3 and playing around with the settings and ND filters. What I was wondering (and if its normal) why the shutter speed doubles to get a balanced exposure (is significantly higher) when shooting in DLOG-M compared to normal mode (found out during testing some ND filters). Would say its just a software thingy and not influencing the shutter speed?
don't use auto settings on shutter, always make sure your shutter is locked at 2x your frame rate and then set ISO as low as possible and select the right ND filter to get a good exposure
Thanks. I understand. Not sure if you know what i meant but for instance if I shoot in 4k 30fps with ND32 to get a shutter speed of 1/60s in normal mode...when switching to Dlog-M the video will be more over exposed and i need to set it 1/120s to get the same exposure (or use a ND64 filter to compensate for going to 1/60s). Just wondering if thats normal between the color profiles 🥸. Also more a heads up that switching between color profiles for the same shot (not sure for what reason 🙂) that you need to compensate for that.
Can you update a home point at the end of a active track? Meaning can I start at one location and end at a different location put home point at the end location?
you can update the home point manually at any time
Question about Peaking Level. You recommend to set it to High. I found Low setting to be much more accurate for acquiring the correct focus. Why do you prefer High?
It depends, low is much more accurate and in truth I don't use it that often
@@JakeSloan
Thanks for clarification, Jake. In High I see almost everything is red🙂. But in most situations I simply set the infinity in MF and leave it there. But it is always good to have Peaking when needed for close focus.
Jake, thanks for the very informative video. I'm a new drone pilot, 107 certified, and was wondering how your max altitude was set to 3000+ ft. My RC 2 , with Air 3, only goes up to 1640 ft and as I am going to be flying in western Maine, need more altitude on occasion. On a similar point, we are constrained to 400 Ft AGL by regulation. The altitude registered in the controller is however, 400 above the home point, unless I am mistaken. So if I fly upslope any distance, I'll excede that limitation unless I bump up my max altitude allowed (and back to the 1640 ft limit i presently have). Comments and guidance appreciated.
It will only allow you to set the attitude that high in areas where there are no nearby airspace restrictions. I can’t set it that high in many places up here as well.
Jake, thanks again for your reply. May I ask another question regarding audio? I will be filming the start of a local race and want the audio with a quick shot sequence. I can t seem to get a sync point established before the fly away maneuver starts as recording begins when I press the start button. Is there some way around this? Thanks again in advance…
@18:47 your max horizontal speed is showing 26.8 mph. Was there a change to this in an update because mine says 33.6 mph?
there was a change
Just curious, in this video, are you recording yourself with FX6 or A7siii ?
for this I was using the A1
On video settings would it be MP4 or MOV ? And what video editing software do you use ?
I use Final Cut Pro but as far as MP4 or MOV, either one will work with most modern computers
@@JakeSloan Thank you Jake…appreciate the prompt replies…very helpful !
Hold ON! Just noticed you found a single point lanyard mount that fits RC-2's narrower mount points in back. Care to share a link?
Oh that will be coming soon! I had to heavily modify that one lol
@JakeSloan I'll bet. I've been to Etsy and back looking for one!
Hi mate, any update on this lanyard mount..? I looked for something similar allover but had no luck at all so far...
@@JakeSloanwe want the landyard 🫡
How does it come that you can limit the max altitude up to over 3000 ft? Mine only allows up to 500 m (around 1500ft)
that is HIGHLY dependent on location. I am not able to do that in all locations only some that are far from any sort of airports or controlled airspace
Alright thank you very much for your quick response! Stumbled across your content a couple days ago and really enjoy watching it. Great and helpful work!
Your WB is set to 6,500K. I have always had WB set to 5,600K for photos and videos. Can you explain why you have it set to 6,500K? Is it your preferred starting point when color grading? Or do you change it based on the time of day or weather condition? Thanks.
It was a cloudy day when I was recording this. Always set WB so that white looks white in the situation you are filming in
@@JakeSloan That makes lot of sense. WB setting does not matter of course when shooting DNG stills but for video it is always good to be close to the true WB when recording. Thank you for clarification. Great video BTW🙂
Buddy, do you have vid that's DLOG VS DLOG M?
not yet but I am working on one
@@JakeSloan can't wait! Love your channel. I've owned 13 DJI drones. Let's not get into why, ha! But the Mavic 3 is my fav for obvious reasons
Does this drone have follow me mode
it does
Where the f*@$ do you live haha it's gorgeous! Nice jacket too, and thank you for the video 🙂
hahahahahahahaha I live in Alaska so yeah I have some spectacular places to go
I don't understand why they can't use GPS to determine fight height instead of height from home point.
because height from home point is based on barometer readings, while GPS coordinate heigh would require downloading detailed and very large file maps which dont exist for much of the planet
@@JakeSloan That doesn't add up to me, because right now I can download an app on my phone with no maps or anything that will show me all of my GPS information. Latitude longitude speed and altitude and I don't have to download maps of the entire world. All DJI would have to do is include GPS altitude as a reference for those who want to see it maybe. The GPS satellites themselves provide that information.
💪👀👍
Thanks
just some feedback, appreciate the video but really hard to watch if trying to absorb the info….less time with camera on you and more on controller screen would be beneficial when showing how to get at things imo
also not sure how you added histogram monitor for exposure?
ty!
histogram is a toggle in the camera menu: th-cam.com/video/QXkoLKqT6aI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lzN0RTrXsxyEjNCw&t=1280
If you double click the pause button and the drone will emergency brake
yes it will
You r looking like a Ricky ponting
without the accent?
