Literally everyone who watches your videos already knows you are going to push the drone past the point where lesser men would lose their nerve. All the while ignoring the warning beeps emanating from the controller. Well done Brother!
Easy to do when the equipment he tests is free
Meh...this was the first demo from DJI which I explained in the video. No, it's not "easy" regardless. Try watching next time? 🍻
@@hankhill4542Dustin said in the video this is his first time receiving a drone from DJI. He notes this in past vids as well. DJI doesn't just send anyone a drone to test. You have to build your channel and your following which takes time (time=$) money and good equipment plus editing ain't easy imo, He may not have paid for the A3, it wasn't free he's earned it imo.
If Jellausy burn, everything would be red.
@@matickovac913 I said what I said, get over it
Honestly, your range tests are a big determining factor for buying. Positive controllability at distance show’s the aircraft’s reliability. Big thumbs up for your reviews and test flights.
Hope you guys are safe buddy. I haven't been on your Channel for a while, but when I hear Hawaii, you the only thing I know about that place. God speed❤
Thanks man. We are all good 👍🍻
The range test all drone enthusias was waiting for. Nothing against any other youtuber that does range tests but yours are always the best out of all of them. It's straight to the point and kept on the same topic throughout the flight no jibber jabber about adds and nonsense no one cares about. Thank you again for an amazing range test! I have the Mavic 3 Pro and fly about once a week or so
These range tests are what I look forward to!
Me too 😎😎😎
I am a Air 2S supporter all day. The Battery life and O4 together make it hard to resist but for me I think the Air 2S with its 1 inch sensor will keep me happy for now. Beautiful flight. Thanks for sharing.
I love these videos. I find them calming and stressful at the same time.
Hi Dustin, I knew little of Hawaii until I tuned into your channel. Hoping you and your loved ones are safe mate 🤞
Congratulations for getting on DJI’s radar. It’s about time you got noticed! Your reviews are always top notch and honest and no one goes as in depth as you do making multiple videos on different aspects and capabilities. Great flight and review as always. Not a nail biter like some of your flights that you had to go down to 0% but great flight just the same. I did see it wanted to go down at the very end and you had to fly it the last couple of hundred feet. That is one thing that DJI has maintained all along is the ability to push up when the battery is low and the craft is trying to auto land. Even the original mavic pro which I still fly has this feature. Great job Dustin and DJI!!!
Nice drone. Loved a lot of your past videos Dustin. Especially the thrilling Mavic 3 range one flight from Hawaii and also your Mini 3 range one from this past winter as well as many others. Thank you. I've done many range tests and videos myself. I haven't published any of them on TH-cam yet since I'm a musician and will make a Nomad RV traveller channel and also a drone flyer channel in the future. I have the Mini 3 Pro and the Mavic 3. I bought the Mini 3 Pro in August 2022 and the Mavic 3 this past December 2022. I maxed my range in a nice open countryside high plateau area near here north of Montreal Quebec last May 22nd. My Mini 3 Pro got to 10.218 Kilometers (33,525 feet, 6.349 miles) launched at 100 % and finally landed at 4 % during the auto landing feature with my RCN1 controller. My Mavic 3 is incomparable however! Great with my RC Pro controller now which had some signal issues last December but now has great solid signal even from very far away at 10 Kilometers! Always mostly 5 or 4 white bars and rare yellow bars, very very rare red ones! 🙏😊The red and yellow bars occur a lot more often however with my Mini 3 pro. 😢 My max distance with my amazing Mavic 3 was at 13.163 kilometers (Wow incredible and insane) but being so scared I landed it 2 kilometers before arriving when the auto landing function started at 9 %. I could have perhaps got it back to me at 1% flying it down to the last ounce during the auto landing but was cautious and too scared about damaging my expensive Mavic 3. I found a good spot and used the "Find my drone" feature! Great! The drone was in perfect condition. My most perfect flight to date however was last July 27th reaching 12.026 kilometers away (7.472 miles, 39,455 feet) WOW! Could have gone further (perhaps even 13 Kilometers and get it back to me?). It got back to above me at 17 % so I'm getting less stressed as I am cautious! I always use and check the Windy app, UAV app, my great Airdata app and other weather apps.I always check all the elements thoroughly and only do my range tests in exceptionally low wind. I usually start my auto return to home at 60% if flying against the wind on my way back and sometime at 55 or max 50 % if my drone is flying with the wind on the way back. While flying I calculate my percentage every 1,000 meters Great if using only 3 or 4 % every 1,000 meters! Not so good good when calculating 5-7 % per 1,000 meters! Obviously when fighting the wind it's flying slower, angling around on the compass icon and more percentage usage. etc. Also I rewatch my videos and calculate all the numbers after my flights on my amazing Airdata app which I paid for to have my account as well as on my DJI Fly app flight logs which precisely play back all my flights! So far due, to my meticulous calculations I have had no crashes nor loss! I did crash and broke my Mini 3 Pro only once last August 2022 on my 2nd or 3rd flight as a beginner and thankfully DJI sent me a new Mini 3 pro last August and since that incident I'm extremely cautious and have now flown 152 flights since then very well! I'm also into so many features such as Waypoints, Hyperlapse, Slo motion, cinematic gain settings for better cinematic flight videos, good videography, photography and so on! I've been getting better at all the many other features ie. Night Flying and all the others etc..Lots there to keep learning and improving! I will make a drone TH-cam channel soon since I have tons of videos and video creations. Love it! Yes the DJI Air 3 seems great as well as the new Ocusync 4.0 and would really love to have it too but have to watch my budget. The main thing is that I'm super happy with my Mavic 3 and my Mini 3 Pro. My next investment which I wish for will be getting into FPV flying with the Avata, the Goggles and Motion controller and improving FPV flying skills as well. Have a great day Dustin.
MAN i love your videos. Even if they're long,you manage to keep us focused and entertained the whole time throughout the video. You're such a cool guy with an awesome personality. Lets goo!! Been waiting for this 🍻
I cant believe you made me wait like 10 days for the range test. Your killing me Dustin. Great vid!!!
Epic Range test Dusti!! I remember watching you RT the M3 and you made it all the way to the Ocean i think 9+ miles, thats insane! I watched this on my big TV 👌 You timed your RTH perfect, well done man!
INCREDIBLE Dustin. Great footage, remarkable distance! DJI really upped the ante man. Thanks for showing us Az!
As usual Dustin, Great review! I liked both your unboxing & this 1…Haven’t watched the flight review but will. Thanks so much for checking out the range of this new drone. Love how you pointed out the cool upgrades on the “return to home traits namely it’s auto engage of the obstacle avoidance & in spite of your minor quality criticism of the camera, you’ve helped me decide on planning for this really cool drone especially over the cheaper Mini or even the Air 2.. Thanks Again!!
I picked up the air 2s for 500 lightly used. I couldn't turn down a deal Like that. Great video as always!
Good deal! 🍻
Just bought the Air 3 earlier this past week & cant wait to test it out soon. DJI really went out with this drone & how far it out was absolutely phenomenal. Excellent video Dustin & hope all is well with you & the family 😊
Love seeing you're still at it!!!! Think the first video I watched of yours was on the Emax 250 back in the day!! Considering this unit so I appreciate the video!
amazing video again, love it how you push it to the max. you're so lucky to live at that location. looking forward to your next video's.
Thanks for that Dustin, that's a great test; completely fantastic in depth testing!
Brother, I was on the edge of my seat on that one. You've done some long ones before, but man, this one...😂. Enjoy the day, and thanks for all you do for the drone community!
Been waiting for this, thanks Dustin!
Awesome range test as usual Dustin. No one comes close when it comes to range tests!!
Wow wonderful flight, I enjoy these range tests. I had to land my drone a few weeks ago, zero percent to long and forced land near a light pole. I have the mavic 1 and love it. Thanks for your videos.
Wow good work as usual Dustin, I just got mines in the mail yesterday! Gonna test it out today! Thanks again, sir!
Another glorious range test.. Dustin I recall you going over 46,000 ft in the mavic 3 I must have watched that video over 50 times...Bro You've made DJI so much money with these range tests. Keep up the good work
Once again Awsome job thanks
The Mavic 3 went farther at 47 thousand feet but returned home at 0%. You still have 5% from 40 thousand feet with this Air 3. It's evenly matched I guess. The only take away with this test is the 04 transmission system. You already lost 2 bars with Mavic 3 at 18 thousand feet. Yet you only lost 1 bar at 40 thousand feet with this Air 3. Impressive.
Good observation. Agreed 👍 🍻
wow! amazing!
as always, Dustin did it again .. another great range test.
Thanks and keep safe
Thanks, Dustin. Great range test, and now I have a better understanding of the compass
Perfect review as always and I love your honesty and that’s what makes you in my opinion the best reviewer on TH-cam but on this one I think I’m going to wait for the air3s i’m pretty sure DJI will put a bigger sensor on the second version the same way they did with the air2s 1 inch sensor I do own the mavic 3 classic great camera, but I would love to have something a little smaller, but I don’t want to lose the quality in the camera it doesn’t have to be exact, but something close lol and thank you again for the awesome video 😊
Another bloody beaut video Dustin, well done mate.
Thank you , this video actually helps me a lot, I was concerned about distance , now I am not afraid to go that far.
Fantastic review Dustin, I didn't skip a second at one take. Thank you
Finally! I've been waiting for ages for this
You never seem to disapoint Dustin!!
Would be nice to have someone standing at 10 miles away, land the drone, put a new battery in and see how far the signal actually reaches 🙂
Yea that would be cool
It would but it's very difficult to have signal at ground level from far due to physical interference (trees etc). If there was another peak or spot with unobstructed line to controller it may work 🍻
The air 3 also has 4g lte signal so it's got infinite signal
It might not reconnect
Another great range test, thanks Dustin! I am hopeful the RC2 will be able to support my Mavic 3 Classic soon!
Appreciate the content..thank you for this..good to know and more insight about the capabilities of this Air 3..thank you..
I’ve managed to get my mini 2 out to more than 5 kilometres, hovered over a mountain for a couple of minutes and looking down and around it. Then I brought it home in auto mode, at about 1275 metres out it had started to auto land. When I realised that it was landing I pushed it further and it kept coming in, then it started to lower again at about 250 metres out, the battery level said it was on 0%, so I had to push up on it as well as forward. It made it back, which I was very happy about lol. I think that dji purposely underestimate the battery level just so that they can’t be blamed when people push their drones to the absolute limit. So you could probably have gone further without losing your drone.
Wow 26 kms that’s awesome. Thank you Mate I just ordered one in Australian and wasn’t sure but yeah great reviews. Cheers mate.
Thanks for your advice 👍 means a lot
Keep the videos coming 😊
crazy good test dustin, i have exchanged my mini 4 pro for better overall performance. ive almost lost the mini pro yesterday because i didnt factor in the wind resistance when flying againts it back to me lol i cant wait to start filming using this sick drone!
Great review like always. Thank’s ! 🤘🏼
Nicely done and I like the way you're editing these videos now.
Hey Dustin, just want to say I hope you and your family are safe i’ve been hearing a lot of news regarding the fire very sad for the people who have died. Hopefully they get it under control. Very scary times. take care.
Thank you. Yes it's unimaginable what has happened. Luckily we aren't there in Hawaii right now and extended family are all good 🍻
YEEEEEES RANGE TEEEEEST WOOOOOOOO
I was waiting for this for the entire time!!!
Been a follower for many years. I looked at some of your past range tests in Maui to help quantify the destruction that is shown on the news. Maybe do an edit of your past footage(s) to point out what's now destroyed vs. before the fire? You've got the best footage of the island. You're a GIS (former) guy, you know this already. Aloha!
Wow just wow excellent range test, as always pushing to the limit, and just professional video
Thank you as always for your continued work.
Hey man, I love your range Test thanks for the video.
Great job. Was really looking for your review of the range test, no one else does it l better
If it is true that it got better signal going out, that is a bit backwards to conventional FPV antenna orientation. Normally you would build your unit to have the optimal signal strength on return, that way if you get into trouble and the craft turns around on some kind of RTH, you should get video and control back almost immediately in most cases. I am kind of surprised DJI would set it up this way, but I suppose you could say they have almost total confidence in the automation at this point that they aren't worried about the fastest recovery of control and video but rather just trying to get the drone to the limits of the system by having the signal be stronger facing away.
Hello Dustin. I am in the market for my first drone, and very impressed with this review. I am now a subscriber of yours.
Great review , good job thanks was impressed
*I stand behind a giant 7 foot satellite dish when I fly and I get 14 miles range. I stand with the receiver right in the middle of the dish. IT WORKS!!!*
That was pretty impressive. You had 8 miles in sight. Great video, thanks for doing this.
OoooMG...great distance, perfect reception, super fly-time... and i didnt forget: best pilot for sure!!
I am impresed. Technology in our era goes to the mooon and back.
Anyhow...cant wait for your next vid, maybe Air 3s 😅
Thank you Dustin for great tests and reviews. I was keen for this one especially because I got my Air 3 delivered just a few hours ago and I'm rearing to toss it in air tomorrow or day after if weather is clear (I live in London, UK)
Wow! What a drone. Thanks for showing us what no other reviewer dares to, yet again.
Respect man for doing this
I also have the Air 3 and it is a nice drone. I have not yet done such a range test, but after my first short range test I noted the telemetry data in an Excel sheet based on the screen recording. From this I was able to "calculate" on the basis of the graph created by Excel, that this drone can reach 13 km in N-mode (In S-mode of course further, but in the graph you can see that the drone is more likely to hit the RTH line.) You proved that my calculation was correct. Thank you.
It's videos like these that you create inspired me to start my channel. Absolutely brilliant range test🎉🎉
Hi Dustin. I thought of you the moment I saw the Maui fires on the news. Hope you're ok. Love from Australia.
Thank you. Our family and friends are all ok 🍻
Very very cool! That Air3 is amazing. Great range test. The suspence as awesome too. 👏👍😎
The much awaiting!!! finally idol🎉🎉🎉🎉
These vids are so relaxing
Wow great video. Thanks for sharing, and lovely landscape.
Awesome video bro,hope all is well with you and your family,I seen the fires and Maui and thought about you..
I have that same drone and love it. I had no idea it had that type of range, wow!
Thank you so much for all your videos. I've seen them all and appreciate the honesty with your reviews. I purchased my first drone (mavic pro platinum) from watching your review on it along with dji fpv fly more as well and mavic 3 mini pro. I don't purchase any dji drone unless I've seen u review it. So, thanks again Dustin.
Thank you! And for donating your support! 🤯🍻🙏
You are the King of range tests 🤙🤙🤙!!
❤ mega as usual dustin !
Awesome flight, Dustin!!! Mahalo as always...🦅🌎⚓
Love the review. Hope you and the family are well and enjoying life in CO. I do miss your Maui scenery! Aloha brother.🤙🏾
Thanks man! 🤙🍻
I just ordered this drone with the fly more package tonight. Im so excited.
Appreciate your videos
I just bought the combo as well, have to drive two hrs to go get it, didnt want to wait for courier delivery, would be too many sleepless nights lol
I love how you push the limits on these drones, this flight definitely makes me want to upgrade from the mavic Air 2
Great video.. Thank you!👍
Wow that's insane distance,thanks for sharing
Hi Dustin! Robert Hipp here, I remember that you lived on Maui and wanted to check and make sure that you and yours are all OK! Stay safe brother and let us know as soon as you can 💯 🙏😊
Everyone is ok. We are not there and extended family are all ok. Thank you 🍻
@@DustinDunnill thanks for letting me know brother! Glad you are all OK, prayers for everyone effected! 😊
I was waiting for ur range test. Thanks for doing it
How are you doing my friend? I love your videos. Been watching you now for two years in Hawaii. Love your new home once again great videos I will definitely keep watching. Just wanted to give you a shout out.
Thank you. I'm glad to hear you enjoy the content 🙂🍻
I am charging the batteries for the first time and can't wait to start flying.
I have the 1st air and never really got to learn how to fly well cuz by the time I
got it in the air and figured out the software options it was time to land!
Now I won't feel rushed and can enjoy learning!
i have the air 2s, but this baby is even better , great video Dustin.
Yeahhhhhh..... its the one. Glad I couldn't get a Mini3 Pro or a Skidio 2+ in time for our Colorado trip a month ago. Glad I'm still in the market!! :). THANK YOU
Hey Dustin, thanks for the video. Glad DJI is finally putting Way points on all of their newer drones. That 04 transmission is simply amazing. Did you happen to notice how long the batter lasted for this flight? Curious about "real" battery life vs spec'd battery life. Beautiful country but IMO nothing compares to Hawaii. Aloha.
That was awesome, DustinI love your range tests. It looks like a great drone
Thanks but who's Shawn? 😂🍻
@DustinDunnill sorry Dustin. My Bad.
I really was expecting your test here after watching 2 years ago the air 2s test and the Mavic Pro!
Awesome Dustin 🎉
dentro das espectativas! Ótimo vídeo.
Wow! What a video of the DJI AIR3 Drone range test. 👌
Hi Dustin, thinking of you and your family at this difficult time in Maui. Hope your home and you are safe. Take Care. NigelG
Great job. I’m on the verge of picking up an Air 3 when my taxes come in. This is great inspiration.
Same here!
Thanks for the review and the dramatic range test video. Great video as usual.
I've had the Air2s since it hit first became available. It's my favorite drone so far and it's my fourth DJI drone. It's so good that I'm torn whether I should jump on the Air 3 immediately. Not to mention I have a small fortune in Air 2s accessories, mods, and batteries (6) lol.
If your happy with the 2s I'd keep it unless 💸💸💸 is no object 🍻
Best range videos 🔥
Dustin, can't remember which Island you live on but we hope you and your family's are good and safe. Thoughts and prayers to all affected by the fires🙏💞
Just about to say the same thing.
Sending ❤️ and 🙏
Great range test!!
Outstanding video as always! Maui Strong! Will be making video of the aftermath of the fires next time you go back?
Nice video. I can't wait to get my hands on one
