    Air 3 Air 3s First Flight / Cornwall UK

    Thanks for taking the time to watch it through and notice all the details. The Air 3s certainly brings out the best in the landscape.

    Air 3 Air 3s First Flight / Cornwall UK

    Thank you! I think it works well to have some reverse shots towards the end of a video to 'exit' the scene, but also is a great way to reveal new things in the landscape. I do occasionally cheat and reverse a clip, but flying by the sea you can't really do that as the waves are the rolling out...

    Enjoy! Nothing better than unboxing a new drone 😁

    Air 3 Air 3s First Flight / Cornwall UK

    Loving the 3s. Took it out for my first proper flight in West Cornwall where I live. I have to say my favourite feature is the free panorama photo mode with the 70mm lens. An easy way to compose a really high res photo without distortion.

    Lens alignment issues Air 3S

    I got out for a first flight with mine yesterday. Both 24mm and 70mm are in good order. Very crisp and no distortion (another worry with DJI wide angle lenses). Very pleased with the results and thankful I don't have to send it back. I've had a 50/50 hit rate with out-of-the box issues from DJI...

    DJI Air 3S ND Filter Set (ND8/32/128)

    If you search on Amazon (certainly in the UK) Polarizing filters are already starting to appear with a delivery date of November. Give it another couple of weeks and there should be lots of options - usually Freewell, Skyreat and others. They are usually circular polarizers which twist to adjust.

    Thanks very much. I think it's either a hooded crow or a jack daw. We saw tonnes of them around so wouldn't surprise me. Will check out Albion Drones too

    Thank you! Yes I sometimes like to end on a beat and then let the music fade. Just a stylistic choice but I often prefer it to fading out the video.

    Air 3 Air 3 and Scottish Landscapes

    Yes it was. About 2,100 miles (we're in West Cornwall too)! The waterfall is called Wailing Widows, about 45 mins north of Ullapool. It has a Scottish name (Allt Chranaidh). Not sure on the bird. We saw a lot of rooks so possibly one of those. Unfortunately I didn't get to film the golden eagle...

    Air 3 Air 3 and Scottish Landscapes

    So I got my Air 3 in October last year. Cornwall where I live has had the wettest few months in 152 years (!) so it hasn't had much flight time. I've just come back from touring the Scottish Highlands and Isle of Skye in a motorhome (first time in Scotland and it is breathtaking) I really...

    Discharging batteries into a power bank

    You just have to keep an eye on it. The charging lights on the battery show the charge level reducing the same as they do when in the drone. I normally stop it when there are two lights on and the third light flashing. Only have one battery in the hub at any time and keep checking it. No way to...

    Mini 4 Pro batteries charging slow

    Had chance to look up the specs. The max charge rate is 30w according to the DJI website: Recommended Charger DJI 30W USB-C Charger or other USB Power Delivery chargers (30 W)* * When you charge the battery mounted to the aircraft or inserted into the Two-Way Charging Hub, the maximum charging...

    Mini 4 Pro batteries charging slow

    As far as I understand it the device being charged will have a charging rate limit. This is part of the USB C charging protocol. If you use a higher speed charger it will still be capped at the maximum a device can accept. I can't recall what the limit is on the Mini batteries (you can check in...
