Facing A DJI FPV Ban? DJI O3 Air Unit Range Is A Solution!

Рет қаралды 3,139

5 күн бұрын

To test the DJI O3 Air Unit range on stock setup - without additional fancy antennas. We mounted one of our biggest batteries with the hope of finding the limits of the O3 air unit system, the results were
as shocking as they were reassuring.
Special thanks to DFR France for proving the batteries used in this test.

Great flight! Thanks for the comments and for the sacrifice - glad you found your drone!

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. We are lucky that we got to the quad before even the battery ran out. 😊

Woww amazing! Very impressive result. Interesting how the vtx signal doesn't decrease linearly over distance.

Damn. Great job dude. Few days ago i managed 8.2 km for the first time and i was sooo stocked. Keep it up with the LR

Thank you. I did this test because we are planning to do a take of a peak that's nearly 13kms away, so I wasn't sure whether the 12.5km limit is also a thing for the DJI O3 on stock settings, fortunately that's now a thing of the past.

That is craaaazy!!!!! I am looking forward to the next video when you have a bigger battery. What do you think how much km`s you can squeeze out of this air unit? I never saw so much. Some already find the limit at 6-10 km. I myself have never dared to go out more than 4.5 km 😅 I am too afraid.

I think, without Antenna upgrades 18-20 should be possible on a good day.

@christianmong-hansen1835 Күн бұрын

hi buddy ! great flight. do you use manual mode in 20 mhz ? your mbps looks kind of low. have 10-13 mbps at 22-23 km out with dji 03 on my helion, and 28-29 mbps at 8-10 km out.

@Phoenix.- Күн бұрын

Hi Christian When I fly long range, I find signal strength to be immaterial : I believe as long as you have connection, keep going until you're in constant red. :-)

Great test, impressive results. Curious if 50mbps mode would be better, that’s what I’ve been testing lately. Or did you chose 25mbps for a reason? I’ll have to do some testing with which soon. Thanks for sharing cheers! p.s. This ban is only in the USA so far, so doesn’t affect us yet.

@Phoenix.- 3 күн бұрын

Thanks man. As far as the 50Mhz vs 20Mhz debate, I prefer the 20Mhz because it's easier for me to know when the connection is about to drop off - it drops off between 1 mbps and 0 mbps. Whereas on the on the 50Mhz setting it has done so between 15 mbps and 5 mbps (I haven't see a 1 or a 0 mbps so far) in the same area. As far as range in concerned, I'm not sure which one could be considered better - I couldn't even reach the max range of this current setting in this test. 🙂

On the DJI ban: since our community is borderless, if one subsection of the community is affected, then the entire community is also affected: (there will be fewer product reviews, fewer tests and less revenue for DJI to make more awesome products) it limits our knowledge base. Also at the moment: whenever US legislates the rest of the western world follows; (that was true for 5G and Huawei) unfortunately it's only just a matter of time before the decoupling hits us too given the current trajectory.

@GiantAntCowboy 2 күн бұрын

@@Phoenix.- good information, I’ll have to do some tests with 25mbps mode. * Regarding USA ban, I agree with your thoughts below, definitely an impact on the community and the rest of the world may follow. Whether you like DJI or not, most agree they make the best drone products and have set the industry standard.

Has anyone also experienced the OSD latency as I did in this test? As you may have seen The 15km mark was reached 14 secs after I had already turned and on the way back. The home arrow does does not respond until after 14 secs. This could be a problem at such distance if you start flying in the wrong direction out of your signal's path.

@InfinityDrones 2 күн бұрын

I think that was a crossfire problem. Might have been due to both being mounted horizontally and not having one vertically. Just a thought. Try enabling RSSI DBM as its a much better indicator of signal strength than LQ. Also remember that telemetry from your RX is might be set to a certain value. Like with ExpressLRS you can set your packet rate and telemetry rate as well as your output power. All info not shared in your OSD.

@Phoenix.- Күн бұрын

@@InfinityDrones Vertical Vs Horizontal mounting maybe something to look into, I looked at one of my old flights with such a config I only had about 2 seconds at 10 km. My hunch was maybe on 20Mhz vs 50Mzh config in the VTX.

@unixoid33 3 күн бұрын

how can you keep so low altitude, and not loosing video signal?

@Phoenix.- Күн бұрын

The area was a bit of a valley so I was standing on higher ground - somewhat, flying towards lower ground.

15 km! I thought there was a hard limit at 13. Can't you use RTH for the "black hole"?

@Phoenix.- 4 күн бұрын

Hi Seb I think the hard limit was reset at some point through an update, I cannot tell you which one exactly. On the RTH part, If I had invoked RTH the quad would have flown directly over the village you see to the right as I land, given the low battery voltage, who knows what may happen.

So the solution to a ban on DJI drones is another DJI product? Why wont this O3 unit be banned as well?

@liebrechtjr11 2 күн бұрын

No rfid in O3’s… so they can’t track you!

@Phoenix.- Күн бұрын

I assumed buying new DJI products is what you should be able to do if you like their products? The O3 system is already certified so if you have one now it should be good.
