I was browsing YouTube and suddenly popped up a video revealing the existence of this thing:
Looks like the exact same Air 3 from DJI that has been rebranded! And it won't work with the DJI's batteries, a buyer wrote in a review that tried to insert a DJI Air 3 battery in it, and an error message popped up on the controller complaining that a Non-Specta battery was inserted and therefore flying was disabled! And also was unable to bind the DJI RC2 controller to it. So this rebranded version of the Air 3 is incompatible and software-blocked with the exact DJI batteries/controller counterparts!
What the heck is going on here? Is DJI doing the same thing as Hubsan with its EXO rebranded "U.S. version" drones? A strategy of DJI to dodge the infamous threats of a US ban? Specta claims it's not affiliated with DJI. Perhaps DJI outsourced the manufacture of the Air 3 and that manufacturer "pirated" the Air 3 and sold it to another brand?
Let's the investigation begin...!
Specta Air Drone
I've never before seen something like this, an exact version of a DJI drone rebranded to a strange brand! It's already being sold at Amazon and has several reviews of it!Looks like the exact same Air 3 from DJI that has been rebranded!
