This is my first flight with the DJI Air 3! I flew from Dedication Point at the Snake River Canyon. I did a full send over the canyon wall. Of course, I tried out the 3X telephoto. This one is the real deal!

I expected the Air 3 to be impressive, but this flight absolutely blew away any preconceptions I had. I knew that it had the 3X camera, but since I don't do a lot of video zooms, that wasn't a big selling point for me. What really caught me by surprise was that it uses a 4 cell battery pack! The speed and power of my Air 2S makes it head and shoulders above the mini drones because of 3 cell power versus 2 cell power. The 4 cell pack in the Air 3 would put it that much ahead of my drone! You used the RC2 controller that came with the drone. Is your RC Pro controller compatible with the Air 3? Thanks for taking me flying with you again, Marcus! Always a good time!

Great video. The StartRC Sun Hood works well for DJI controllers; inexpensive and easy to install. I have a new Air 3 and have been doing flights in the Rio Grande River canyons. I have to be very cautious when flying from the top of the canyons in the deeper and narrower sections because the Air 3 can suddenly lose the RC signal which is a bit unnerving. I am glad to see that the RTN to home function works well as you have demonstrated. Again, great video.

Wow, Marcus, The color on that thing is amazing. It reminds me of my Mavic Air 1. It also had fantastic color vs. the Mini 2 and the Air 2. The later 2 drones are also great drones but tend to lack the color of the Air 1. But that Air 3 is poppin. Perhaps to get that HDR mode you have to click on the Res&fps numbers on the control screen. Recently on my Air 2 I had forgotten how to get to the zoom mode and that's where I found the additional menu. Let me know if you find the HDR mode. However the color on that thing is so good it probably doesn't even need an HDR mode. I've already made up my mind to pull the trigger on the Air 3. Thanks so much for posting this great video. Cheers!

Even without having Explorer mode, or maybe in its place, you can use the zoom dial to get 1x-3x on the wide lens )cropped), and 3x-9x on the Tele lens. Something we DON'T have on Mavic 3 is you can be zoomed all ths way at 9x, draw a box and get Focus Track; Spotlight & Point of Interest all the way zoomed!

I've been looking forward to seeing you fly the Air 3 at the canyon. This is a great look at the drone. I'm still leaning toward waiting for an Air 3S or a Mavic 4 Pro. DroneXFactor had an interesting take. In his view, the Air 3 is the successor to the Air 2, not the Air 2S, and viewed that way, it's a big step forward. Just as the Air 3S will be a big step forward from the Air 2S, I'm sure. The video looks over-sharpened to me. Maybe DJI needs to do some work on that, and it will improve after a future firmware update. Pilot Institute did a series of comparison shots among the Air 3, the Mavic 3 Classic, the Mini 3 Pro, and the Air 2S. You can't put too much into it, because most of the clips were either underexposed or overexposed, but when they compared the 3X lenses, the Mavic 3 ate the Air 3's lunch. That also may be a candidate for a future firmware fix on the Air 3. I will look forward to your future Air 3 videos. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from you.

Very good video sir, what's with the metric units....guessing most don't care for it.

@IdahoQuadcopter 11 ай бұрын

Thank you very much! The metric system is easy to learn and makes so much more sense than imperial. Multiply by 3.3 and you'll be close in feet.

Aire 3 looks cool. Will probably be sticking woth the Mini 2 for now myself. On a side note, I recently moved to Spokane Vallyb(used to live in Snohomish before then). Alreadyvfound a few good spots to fly at innthe Spokane area. Though I think I will be scouting put some places in the Post Falls and Cour d Alene areas as well sometimes (maybe Hayden Lale amd Sandpoint areas on some occasions too). Didna drone fligjt in Post Falls last week (long before the wildfires happened on Friday). In the Washington side, 2 good spots I have seem are Loon Lake as well as the Spokane River right along the Washington Idaho Border In a pull out area along Seltice Way (aka Apple Way) near the bridge. Will probably check out Sprague Lake out towards Ritzvklle sometime too.

The Mini 2 is great! It's fun finding new places to fly!

@IdahoQuadcopter True. Definitely a change of scenery for me after living in the Seattle area for so long. Already found a few good spots to fly from: Saltese Wetlands area near Liberty Lakes, Loon Lake to the north of Spokane (boat launches are usually fair game in Washington State, at least when they are not busy). Also in the Idaho side of the border, I already found at least 3 good spots to fly at: near the Idaho Washington border to the north of 90, there is a pull put along apple way, aka seltice way that i wa able to fly from. In Post Falls just north of the bridge there is an undeveloped area thst I was able to fly from and get views of the Spokane River through there. In Couer d Alene area, there are some spots along tbe lake thst works well too. Will probably find more places over time, but it will take getting time getting more familiar woth the new areas.

Muy buen video amigo. Me demostró que el air 3 no es potente en alcance su batería debió llevarlo más lejos. Empezó con 90 y termino muy rápido en activarse el RTH. BUEN TRABAJO PILOTO!

Great video sir!! So here's the question: I'm just a recreational flyer right now and I have a DJI Air 2. I think it's great...I use it for vacation trips and social media. I'm a full-time firefighter and I have been thinking about getting my part 107, for maybe doing some jobs on the side. Would you suggest an upgrade to the 3 Air?

@IdahoQuadcopter 10 ай бұрын

Thank you! If you want the Air 3 of course, it's another leap ahead in drone tech and quality. However, your Air 2 is still a phenomenal drone, and you can fly it for years to come.

Great first flight. And what a location. Wow. Marcus do you think the video was up to scratch. Looked a little blurry to me . The video of the rapids in particular was breaking up. Is that a setting?

I think the Air 3 is a side grade because of not having 5.4k and the FOV being less than the Air 2s. It is an Upgrade from the original Air 2 though.

Too bad you can't use the RC Pro Controller with the Air 3. I rarely have issues with viewing with my 1000 nit screen. Hard to believe that an Occusense upgrade isn't just a firmware update? Nice flight, but I'm sticking with my Mavic 3. Thanks for sharing!

@IdahoQuadcopter That's great! Sure beats the planned obsolescence of my Mav 2 Pro's controller. Thnx for the info. BTW, I'll betcha the next iteration of the Air 3 will have three cameras.
