An important think to note Rick, is this APAS won't work on waypoint mission. During a waypoint mission, if it detects an obstacle, it will simply do a RTH. I've seen this happen over 10 times.
I've watched a few of your videos in the past. I just subscribed cause of the Balls it took to fly Air 3 into those woods! Absolutely Amazing drone. Can't wait to get MINE!! Question, Do you think i could use the Autel Evo Lite plus charger to use for the DJI Air 3? It's a 70 watt charger.
I've had no issues with APAS and use it often. The one challenge it has is dealing with small obstacles like wires or small branches. It also needs to see "contrast" so it can determine a solid object. If you fly in darker areas or places with a lot of shadows it can get confused.
baguss reviewnya sir.....bagi anda mungkin drone mahal tidak berarti karena resiko yang tinggi anda berani melakukannya tidak takut drone crash..kalau kami yang punya keterbatasan dana melihat review anda sangat mendebarkan...doakan supaya bisa beli dji air 3 tanpa tau kapan bisa membelinya atau ini hanya impian saja untuk mempunyai drone dji air3.....thankyou for review from indonesia monitor
I have an air 3 drone but when hovering and an object approaches the drone it just sits there and doesn't move away on all sensors except the bottom sensor. Is this normal?
I feel like both passes it got to a point where it couldn't go forward anymore and it couldn't navigate out, so you just backed it out. But you never actually said it got stuck and couldn't find a way forward? Those are they types of things we need to hear, not just all positive info.
It doesn't matter. If it gets to a point where there is absolutely nowhere for it to go, your stuck either way ...he had no choice but to back it out? The point of this was to show how easily it bypasses such small branches and trees
@@MattysRCWorld I was just try to say I wish there was more commentary about how it got stuck and options. I agree that was a lot of branches, and I think it did great, but he never actually said it got stuck and couldn't move forward anymore.
I always like to push the boundaries to test the gear and you can trust the APAS system. Even if you don't take it to this extreme, it's good to know it can really protect your drone. I'll have more content posting soon and hope that you'll stop back and sub. Thanks, Rick
Wow thank yoi Scarry for sure and Incredible backing up with no camera I get my mini 3 pro soon and i think and hope it has the same brain inside for that. 👍
I got a mini 3 pro. although it's fantastic but it's got the APAS 4 not the 5. and also no side sensors . so careful when panning right or left ... sideways panning is risky unless you have the drone in sight.
Thanks for the post and we have a 65W charger on dronevalley.com that works well. If you want a larger one, we’ll have a new 140W model available in a few weeks that provides 2 65W ports and it’ll be less expensive than the DJI 100W model.
@@Dronevalley That is great news! The last DJI drone I purchased was the Mavic Air 2, and I have held back from buying the Air 2S or the Mavic Pro 3, but this new Air 3 is really pulling on my pursestrings(so to speak!). I look forward to your 140W model!!!
I’d like to know how well these DJI drones will perform out at sea. I have the DJI Mini 3 Pro and when I set to tracking large yachts, it loses the yacht after about 20 secs or less???
Tracking boats are a little more tricky than following people because there are "profiles" the drone can recognize for people, animals, cars and general. I've seen the same thing the few times I've tried to track boats, especially if they're moving quick. Be sure to keep an eye on the drone to make sure it's still chasing you!
In those Pine Barrens, its the Jersey Devil we worry about. It's one of my favorite place to explore and I love filming there. Thanks for the post and I hope you'll stop back for more content soon. Rick
APAS doesn't work in the dark. Its based on normal vision. No Infrared or lidar. I'm guessing future iterations of DJI drones will progress to this naturally. I can imagine them implementing IR illuminators for longer range detection and maybe a pro version with Lidar for much better accuracy with the trade off being much lower range.
My questions are: Does it use Occusync 3 What is the range How long is the flight time How many cameras does it have? Does it have Zoom? If so what the optical and digital zoom? Can I trade my Mavic 2 Zoom in to get this?
That great range. It's too bad that the official distance is line of site. After all we all know where our drone is. Just look down at the display and you will see the information it gives us. If that isn't enough just open the map and there it is.@@theone2be33
I did and the Skydio drone wouldn't even go into the woods. That drone is designed to large area avoidance and is incredibly conservative in how close it will bet to an object. The Air 3 has a better understanding of how big it is and can navigate in tighter spaces/
@@Dronevalley I think more do the Skydio2 is designed to be autonomously flown. Can you do a tracking mode and test it also? Like have yourself followed around some obstacles. Maybe get on a bike and see how well it can keep up...
Interesting. But I'm not buying a new drone because it has a better obstacle avoidance system. I need significantly improved photo quality. And this ain't it.

The obstacle avoidance is INCREDIBLE! I have never seen anything like this besides skydio

It looks great. But I haven't seen anyone test it flying sideways
Good point Chad! I guess you be the man for that video I hope.
@INTELMAXELL Thanks...that's if I get it. I'm still on the fence.
Go for it!
The best apas test on TH-cam, thank you!
He shoulda went as far as it could go. Back to Cheena
Rick, thank you for demonstrating this for us. You are a braver man than I flying into those woods.
Hi Rick, wow this drone is amazing, it looks like I have to upgrade my dji drone series again
The APAS was awesome. Amazing. Great job, Rick. Kudos!
Excellent demonstration, Rick. I'm thinking there are quite a few running backs who could use APAS!

9 months later I told you all: don’t trust in APAS. my drone crashed into a huge and totally visible obstacle.
I've had no issues with APAS and use it often. The one challenge it has is dealing with small obstacles like wires or small branches. It also needs to see "contrast" so it can determine a solid object. If you fly in darker areas or places with a lot of shadows it can get confused.
At 2:28, did you stop the forward flight, or was it unable to go further?
The most insightful question posted and, unfortunately, no response....

Ji Rick. Dave Australia here that was one awesome video demo. Thanks very much for taking the time to do that

No drone in the world will get through what he got stuck at, what did you expect?

@amirchar he didn't have to say it got stuck, we all clearly saw it had NOWHERE to go...first move in thar situation, back it out. Always...
Nice one. incredible what the DJI guys could do. can't wait for Air 3s with APAS 6. hahaha.
Very cool. With the camaras sticking out the front, i was nervous.
Nice job buddy
Mikey
Nice work Rick!
I would NEVER do this with my Air 3. Thanks for sharing this because now I know that it can do this.

I wonder if you flew it in as you did, if you pressed RTH if it would have used the exact path it took going in to RTH ? Your thoughts ?
Right? Cause it obviously can't fly straight up. Or could it???
That was pretty good navigating through the trees
Great video Rick😮
Amazing what this will do.

Ok thank you for your support on this⛵️⛵️⛵️
That's pretty good
Wow, that's pretty amazing. Thanx Rick
Wow, even big foot isn't safe with this thing around. Hahaha

Whew, you lucked out on a few of those smaller dead branches. Happy flying!
Perfect.
Whoa! That's insane!
👍👍
Fantastic 🤝😎
Impressive
wow. It actually clipped a branch on the way back but it must have hit in the center of the drone. impressive
This would be very handy in cave exploration
Perhpas adding a light on top
It would not be stable because of no GPS. So would need very careful be

Braver man than me Rick, fantastic technology!
thanks for this perfect short test of the obstacles avoiding sensor
Um Mavic 3 has had APAS 5.0
ok
Man rick that is awesome
It's pretty amazing tech! I appreciate you stopping by, it's always great to see you. I hope you're getting a lot of great flying in this summer.
Can you try the sideways or up and down? It is supposed to be omni-sensor
Thank you for risking your drone!
No worries and I trust the tech. I'll be doing the same testing with the newer Mini 4 Pro this month so be sure to stop back soon. Rick
Brilliant test and your great exciting video.
great video, waiting for your next one.
Thank you Drone Valley. :)
I have a mini 3 and phantom that need repairs. Who or where do you recommend

Nicely Done! Simple, short easy to understand 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 great job! Now I really want one!
I was very impressed with how good it did.
Great video. For the longest time I've had my eyes on the air 2 s now I might have to change to this drone.
The Air 2s released in 2021 brother. Old Tech vs New Tech. It's a No Brainer
My questions are:
Does it use Occusync 3
What is the range
How long is the flight time
How many cameras does it have?
Does it have Zoom? If so what the optical and digital zoom?
Can I trade my Mavic 2 Zoom in to get this?
O4, 13 miles, 46 minutes, 2, yes, no
