  • Can the DJI Air 3 handle the strong wind storm? I put it to the test to find out. Buy the DJI Air 3 here (amzn.to/46rdLh0), link helps support the channel and is much appreciated!
    See how it handles the winds in a variety of tests, including sport mode, normal mode, telephoto/zoom lens, slow-mo, take-off, landing, and more!
    In this test I put the DJI Air 3 to the limits in a 60KPH wind storm, to see how it handles. Not just the winds, but also light rain, and even a bit of unexpected sand upon landing. Plus, at the end I've got tons of footage in 4K/60, 4K/100, and 1080p/200FPS, as well as lots of shots in slow-mo and more.

    What makes DC Rainmaker great is that he's honest. His honesty and accurate depiction of these expensive products are what set him apart from other reviewers. Looking forward to the obstacle avoidance test!

    You did an awesome job flying the little bird in probably one of the windiest conditions of all your tests. It was informative and certainly entertaining. It's still not as good as diving for drones though.
    So it passes DC Rainmaker's wind test in flying colors. Can't wait for the tree avoidance test.

    Ray i have to say that was probably one of the best wind test to date i have seen. You had to deal with the elements there ... drone work like a charm. how was the controller after your testing? do you know if the Air 3 work with the RC Pro. or is that hardware with the new chip. Again great video there as always. you always pack so much information into your video.

    Excellent and brave test! Well done! How would you compare the wind resistance against the mavic 3 pro? Also what does the ongoing error message mean about air map data load error? It pops up all the time on your controller display?

    • @Dcrainmaker
      @Dcrainmaker  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I’d say they are equal, no issues. The error message is a bug present for EU users on the RC2. I believe it was finally fixed yesterday. The data was there/good, just an erroneous error message. It appeared every 10 seconds :/

    Would you go for the Mavic 3 or the Air 3? I have a 2s and am filming kitesurfing so I need a zoom to get close without getting caught in the kite lines. I also film in 25-35mph winds pretty exclusively.
    Love your reviews!

    • @Dcrainmaker
      @Dcrainmaker  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Wind-wise, there's no difference between the two aircraft in real-life, so, either one is good there. Then, you're down to the zoom lenses. I presume you're referring to either Mavic 3 or Mavic 3 Pro (not Classic). In that case, the main difference is the added 7x camera, which, is certainly fun to use (really, I love it), but you'd be surprised with just how easily you can capture stuff on the 3x lens that's on both units. And, for windsurfing, I'd assume you'd want to capture both human+kite, so, having the 7X is going to basically crop you into just the human, versus the 3X you can get both. At that point, I've seen zero real-world difference between Mavic 3 Pro and Air 3 in all my footage.

    @spacehopper77 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Perhaps a silly question. Is the 19m/s EU speed limiting done by the software and the motors are not lower in power so that an EU drone would have the same wind capabilities as the rest of the world, just it can go above 19 m/s? Or is it lower powered? Fantastic video.

      The wide body jet you hear is some 3,500-4,500ft high typically in that stage of over the coastline as they work their way towards AMS and runway 18R, nearly 20km away. This area is well outside the no-fly zone, and AirSense is/was enabled, so any meaningful unexpected/emergency concerns would pop up on the screen. Finally, I’m flying in the correctly regulated airspace below the required altitudes, following all rules as a licensed operator.
      So yes, good to see safety. Let me know if you have any actual questions - or if you’re just gonna pretend to know what you’re taking about.
