    Best position to attach strobe light on Air 3S

    Thank you for everyone's input! I have stuck it on basically the mid point of the fuselage topside. Considering the fuselage is tiled anywhere from 10 to maybe 45 degrees max during forward movement, the small bump from the strobe light probably didn't add too much to drag. Maybe a little bit...

    Best position to attach strobe light on Air 3S

    Hello folks, I just purchased a small strobe light to attach onto my Air 3S, so I am looking to find the ideal position on where I could attach the strobe light module. The module itself is small, about 40mm x 30 mm x 15 mm. The ideal position ideally (yes) offers the least disruption to...

    In-flight component temperature check - is this available in the Air 3S?

    It is not Tiktok, I mean short videos. I can see the motor assembly physically detaching in the slow motion causing the crash, pretty hard to fake.

    In-flight component temperature check - is this available in the Air 3S?

    Status update, it went fine. I only touched the motors once at the conclusion of a 1.5 hr flight (3 batteries), they were quite hot to the touch after about a 20 minute flight with normal mode, side flying and a 5 minute low altitude hovering in direct sun. I did try to put it on slow cruise...

    In-flight component temperature check - is this available in the Air 3S?

    Hello everyone, I am about to fly the Air 3S for the very first time during a hot summer day. Previously I have only flown it in very nice weather, i.e. low 20 Celsius / low 70 F, and in mild winds. I understand there have been a few cases of Air 3S front motor mounts melting in mid air causing...

    Want higher capacity batteries - Air 3S

    There have been multiple aftermarket modded batteries of various forms available for the Air 3 series (both of them), the max I have seen is up to 1 hour of actual, not claimed, flight time.

    Air3/3S battery charge speed & charger discussion

    Update for everyone: the 140w charger I mentioned above works great. It was charging at around 90w for the hub, goes to about 110w if I add the remote. Still got about 30w headroom for other devices. I am guessing the previous 90w charger does not have a proper PD protocol or something, so it...

    Air3/3S battery charge speed & charger discussion

    Yes, it is the original DJI charging hub that came as part of the fly more combo. Re: Rchawks The 90w charger comes with a USB-A female side on the brick itself, so I used a USB-A to USB-C cable that is rated for 100w from non-generic brand (nothing fancy like Anker or Ugreen though). Re...

    Air3/3S battery charge speed & charger discussion

    Hello everyone! I tried charging the Air3/3S batteries for the very first time a few days ago, but I have a problem: I have 3 Air3S batteries and one extra genuine Air 3 battery, along with one original 3-slot charging hub. I hooked it up to a 90w charger that came with a phone, but the...

    First Drone Purchase Delayed

    Sorry to hear about your situation! I don't know anything about heart Afib (other than knowing this term), but perhaps you can look into a smart swatch that has ECG monitoring. I believe Samsung Galaxy watches (and Apple watches of course, and maybe some others) have this feature. Not sure if...

    Potensic

    same, but i feel that's where a drone excels, taking videos as it moves to angles you can't access with your own pair of wings. On another note, I just realized Costco started selling Atom 2 "fly more combo" online for $549 CAD, offering just under 10% off Amazon pricing ($599 CAD with $40...

    ND Filters realistically how many should I get?

    Love it, same here. I know I got this phrase from the internet, but "I can leave it un-used, but I feel comfortable knowing it's there when i need it".

    ideas for new dji drone

    For your idea 1, maybe DJI can also add on some power points so i can also charge other devices like my phone, laptop while making me a cup of tea, 2400w should be good enough, and is also portable and has a display to show me how much battery is left. Oh wait, DJI has already done it! It's...

    ND Filters realistically how many should I get?

    I was in this dilemma about 1 month ago. I had acquired a new-to-me Mini 4K and a new-to-me Air3S, but I foresee flying the Air3S for pictures and videos more once I have the licence to fly it properly. I ended purchasing a UV filter from a generic brand for the Mini 4K, simply because the...

    Potensic

    I believe they are smaller competitor, with basically one model (the Atom 2) to compete with the Mini4K. IIRC the main boasting feature of the Atom 2 over the Mini 4K is essentially they have included what Litchi and DronePilot's does for the Mini 2 (e.g. tracking features, spotlight, cruise...
