That side by side with the session 5 😮
right! at first i was thinking "why did vanny show the same video side by side" 😳
One of the best O3 Reviews! Fantastic job, Alex!
Thanks Alex , this is the kind of review I personally needed.
Thanks a lot for you return dude 🖤
That built-in image stabilization with minimal latency feed is quite the tech. Love seeing the DJI FPV’s recording feature being passed on to the air units.
Thank you Vanny for this review. I trust your opinion😊 enough that I just placed an order for your frame and the upgrade. I ordered the 03 system through DJI 2 days ago with a ship date of 11/25/22. Even though I have a bunch of frames to choose from that I have not built yet, none of them would fit this camera. Thank you for solving that problem. I appreciate that. Oh, I went back to DJI’s website yesterday to order another 03 setup and saw that the ship date from them at that time was 1/3/23. I didn’t place the order and figured I would just wait. I also assumed that any pre-orders would be at least 2 batches away. Thanks again, great job, and I wish the best for you going forward and a DRL win😊.
Great review! Thank you for your time and honesty.
Thank YOU for sharing your feels buddy, stay blessed :]
I appreciate the honest review!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing 😊
Awesome flight right there, I'd have to agree with the outstanding image quality. It's overall impressive so far.
A honest review!! Very much appreciated Alex. Think for me I'm absolutely ok with my analog system and just would really rather put my money towards a possible session 6 someday!😉😁💯
Nice review. Thanks mate.
Thanks for the insight legend 🤙🏻🔥
Sweeet Alex . 🔥I’ll definitely be getting it 👊🏻
Awesome Dude! Thank you Bro!
One of the best reviews 👌 I do believe the screws in the 03 unit are removable so you could add longer threaded screws and have 25X25 mm mounting option.
After reading the specs in user manual, make sure it's M1.6 not M2. MurdersFPV managed to do that like what you said.
If frame doesn't have 25x25 mount pattern, just need to cleverly create a 25x25 mount. I'm tempted to create one for VannyStyle and see how it comes out. Still waiting to get one O3 Air Unit. It's sold out still. 😩
Great informative video! Thinking about running this on a cinematic build and vista on my freestyle builds.
Excellent thank you.
Amazing!😮
Love the cinematic lighting
Great review and feedback.
Pretty much the only thing stopping me from buying this system is the price as I would need the air units and googles. But definitely heads and shoulders above the rest. Plus this is actually the quality level I've been waiting for to move from analogue. I'd love to see some of your signature freestyle flights with the onboard video recorded and edited, would be mint! Keep up the good work and great review by the way 👍
Even the old versions have way better image quality than analog... idk why you said that
@@dragosdiaconu629 The 4k recording
same here, the only way for me to get this is saving at least for 6 months haha! but i'm still in love with my air unit and v1 goggles actually, if you do things right, old tech can still do impressive things.
Great review. For me my eye are not getting better so having a clear vision is for sure a big factor.
Love the production of this video! Lightcraft is treating you right! ;)
Hahahha
Thanks finally someone talked about latency gosh
Great vid for us freestyle guys
Great review! I think this would work great with frames with camera cages like the MoonGoat.
Awesome review.i teach a bunch of kids introuble fpv and would love dji so the kids can see the scrubs properly and stop breaking kwads lol.
You can use longer 2mm screws for the 25 x 25 air unit,just simply take out the existing ones and replace
i think are 1.6mm not 2mm
@@-exeCy- I will find out when mine turn up
Great review Alex. I appreciate your honesty and I look forward to picking this up myself. The session 5 comparison is unreal and I’ll likely sacrifice a few of the “nice to haves” for a lighter weight, better flying and just all around easier management solution from the onboard recording. Cheers buddy 🍻
Good review
Nice Review Alex. I have two New Vannystyle Frames as my Main Quads now, would be great to get the O3 Kit in the EU Store soon. Also are there some Mounts for Antenna and Camera comming on Thingiverse?
Great review Vanny, thanks.
The mounting and lens durability issues do sound like a problem, but I'm sure people will come up with work arounds.....
“Something better than a session 5” *Vanny foreshadowing the session 6*
Brother... I love the yellow t-shirt 💛 great video.
Hi Alex, thanks for the review. I am preparing myself for my first quad build and I am definitivy going for your Vannystyle frame && O3 Air unit. It would be great If I dont have to buy old frame version + O3 conversion. There is one more thing, since I want to build it myself I can buy "Vannystyle 5" Frame & Motor Bundle" but I will still be missing other parts....Do you have some "ultimate list" or at least "recommended list" of parts for best freestyle build with Vannystyle frame? Thanks.
Vanny...you are one of my favs in all fields... Your rates even fit me. Are your cinematic rates any different?
They are the same :)
Great video man and good to see the quick reaction to the new system so the frame can accommodate it 👏
Im getting ready to buy everything to make/build this drone, was wondering if you have any video with the O3 upgrade kit?
I'd design a gopro style sleeve to fit over the camera, and use a frame that supports mini camera's. Sliding it forward, and still maintaining protection. Apex frame, maybe. Botgrinder frame, definitely.
You know what? I did enjoy this video and damn it I'm gonna like it.
Though I dont actually have it, the features and all the reviews Ive seen so far just tell me it is indeed the best one available out there.
Well considering all the reviews are from people that were given it early for testing and probably paid, I'll take that with a grain of salt.
Finally smaller goggles! I'm ok tho, happy with the snail setup I have. And why spend that much if I am happy where I am at!
Honestly if I was designing a frame for something like this I would do a drl racer 4 thing in the front. Have the camera encased in a clear plastic to protect it.
Got 2 on the way love the video quality of my Avata I’ll be switching all my 5” to this unit 😅
Good review. Hopefully someone designs some sort of cradle to allow a hard mount onto a baseplate. Maybe something to get it up off the baseplate to allow for more cooling(if needed). I'm sure one of the ancillary manufacturer has plans to release a "naked" version of the air unit, and if not, someone should design a retrofit case. Re the camera protection, probably something like the old LayerLens from FPV Manuals(GetFPV)? Def something to think about. I'm interested in the hard cutoff on range with this unit. Does anyone know if the range is the same as the previous?
That Nurk clip sold me.
Are you able to run this on the Kiss setup? Thx in advance.
Johnny fpv qavs seems to fit it perfectly
I heard of you have 25mm x 25mm mounting holes, you can replace the m2 screws in the bottom of the 03 airunit with longer m2s so you can mount with screws. Of course they are m2 so maybe a couple zip ties also just in case lol. Great video
The thing is like 30grams 4 m2 threads are MORE then capable enough to support it what are you thinking lmao
Please read the manual. They explain how to attach the o3. M1.6 25.5mm appart. Time to call your frame designer again 😅
Vanny, I'm nearly grabbing them, only trouble for myself is the latency? In all honesty did you feel anything? Did you have any near misses?
It's my only concern following using fatshark HDO? Please advise 🙏
Cool video
Sensei Vannover
Not upgrading I just upgraded I understand technology is on the up and up but damn every 6 months it's something different you need rotor riot money for that sheet lmao love you captain u da best 👌 👍
Will your revised frame/camera plate be available for sale on rotor riot store?
So with your o3 kit will it still have the the view of the standoffs and frame?
Good video mate, I subscribe to your channel ☺️👍
Literally getting to the point where we don’t need the extra weight of additional camera I love where we are headed
So at them moment I'm pretty happy with my caddax vista iflight evoque 👍
Another great video!!! Keep going captain!!
are the goggles only compatible with the DJI FPV controller 2? I see you are using a different controller, was it hard to setup ?
hey do you have a link for the cam mount for the o3 i mean for the tpu parts you use?
Amigo , o betaflight não reconhece o controle 2 da DJI , configuração e bind ok na Unit o3
Sabe me dizer uma provável solução ?
id buy one, if it released anywhere near past summertime.
ill wait til about april-may next year
Already ordered! But my current setup is analog only on HDO v1s 🤣. Can't wait to join the digital age! I gotta get new frames now but hey it'll be worth.
I’ll be buying it as soon as they drop it on a 4” LR
awesome review bro the 03 air unit looks great i just wish it would work with the v2 goggles
It does, just without the msp full osd as of today.🙂
@@kenb6565 hey thanks for letting me know this. The 03 air unit does not record sound right
@@adamcfpv5372 no sound...the v1 goggles with the og air unit gives live audio back with wtf root hack. I do not think the O3 has a mic, vista does not for sure
honestly I tried the avata which is basically the same thing and I was not so blown away of the video quality in the goggles and also grading the footage was not the best experience compared to hero 11. The goggles did not fit my face and the whole time I felt so much pressure on my nose I was talking in a higher pitch because of it, I thought my face was just weird but all my friends had the same experience. I will just stay with my caddx vistas and V2 goggles for a long time for sure. Nice and honest review though
It's also a bit expensive. I don't need shitty on-board video recording. Let's make a cheaper lite version without onboard video and I am happy. The transmission quality is far superior, but that's expected when the TX has 2W power output and takes the whole 5.8GHz band 😂
@@MineServersSKCZ well idk I never had any issues with the vista and I fly long range a lot
Great info. I think Bardwell said the screws can be removed and replaced then you have a 25 x 25 mounting pattern. If that’s true it’s still a problem for a lot of frames. Another guys said the SD Card and the on board storage can be accessed via USB C without powering up the drone.
We have 3D printers now.
The mounting size is not an issue at all.
it can be accessed without powering the drone. it works the same on avata.
@@dangerous8333 we do? I must have misplaced mine. Thanks for reminding me. 🤨
Vanover, your shirt is awesome! I somehow knew you were walking the "narrow road that leads to life"!
captain squashed or true x? big difference?
Any idea of the o3 unit works with fpv planes with alierons, elevator, rudder?
Yo! *ziptie your vtx on, I've been doing it since the air unit came out and it works great.
also, thanks for your review dude!
You can protect with a ND filter, the DJI avata ND filters are compatibil with this camera.
How about zip tying the vtx with double sided tape below.?
I honestly feel like this was not a big enough of a jump in tech to justify the extra costs involved. Would rather buy up now cheaper vista's and air units and keep on rocking the v2's. I had really hoped that they were going to get this down to a single board in this version 😢 but to each their own.
Does the OSD work with the Kiss Ultra? Or Kiss on the Fettech G4? I have the O3 shipping, and would like to use it with Kiss.
can we get a update on the new 03 frame? any new footage?
Session 5 Fan lets goooooo
The comparison between the GoPro and the onboard-recording isnt fair. Pls colorgrade the flat-gopro image
will v2 goggles give the video feed out USB to phone / fly app or is that only with the latest Goggles 2 ?
I bought one 03 air unit just so I can have 1 quad with maximum penetration. The Vista video quality is plenty good for me.
I bought the dji fpv googles v2 last night
Which controllers will bind with this new air unit?
DJI is King 💪👽🤟
Would a small zip tie work instead of a bit of electrical tape
I am sure there is a way to design curved standoffs for the front for this camera which would fit every existing frame.
How does the video quality measure up to the Session 6?
Why not make a tpu case on the o3 then zip tied it to the frame ?
How about instead of redesign of button plate and top plate, u make a set of custom front stand offs, that have half moon section milled out on them to allow. The lens to move
Nobody is speculating on whether or not DJI will release other cameras that will work with this drone or whether or not the cameras like the Nebula Pro will work with this air unit. For instance I smashed the camera, but I need to fly today. Can I slap a Nebula Pro that I have on another drone or a spare this air unit?
Love the Frame I just wish it would ship with the O3 upgrade so we didn't have to buy it extra
def switching, but the size of the camera has me at a standstill for now. It wont fit anything I fly atm.
Nice and honest. Think the session 5 comparison was a bit harsh lol it’s a 5-6 year old camera.
lol the session5 footage is looking NOT that bad ^^ CMON DUDE
I'm still in research mode on O3 Air Unit......my concern is latency while doing onboard recording......need some fancy youtubers to do some definitive testing ............currently sticking with Vistas however, i m willing to change to the 03 if latency ends up being not a problem (Flight style for me = fast, low and proxi). Cheers
I love it! But my fly skills are crap so latency or white balance problems aren’t an issue for me 😅 The camera size is not ideal but Dji took them of the shelf from the Avata I think. Maybe somebody will come out with a smaller sized camera. I’ve put the system in a Titan DC5 HD frame, had to use 3mm standoffs at the front and stil can see a littlebit of the frame in the left and right top corner. But it’s only a very small edge, easy to remove in post. Thanks for the review 👌🏻
can you pair the O3 Air Unit with any radio?
Wait, I thought it has 25x25 mounts by removing the bottom screws and adding longer ones.
How do I get that antenna my my friend?
