    Newest firmware 01.00.1300 for Air 3 and 02.02.0000 for RC2

    In addition to the above, users have been complaining that the transmission range has been reduced. I haven't updated to the current version.

    Specta Air / DJI Air 3 Clone Deep Dive Video (Firmware, Software, Metadata) (Cogito Tech)

    I don't know what they mean by the bill has been signed. My understanding is that it passed the House Committee and will now go to the house floor. It is far from being a law although there seems to be bipartisan support for it.

    DJI Air 3 Charging Question

    You should be looking at power banks with at least 20,000mAh capacity and 65W output and supports the PD 3.0 standard. I was looking at power banks such as the one below but I have no experience with any of these and I would anticipate that the stated power outputs are peaks and real world...

    An Air 3 clone, rebrand, or a DJI manufacturer "pirated" it? The mysterious new Specta Air Drone!

    Although I am not well versed on the proposed bill, my understanding is the CCP Drones Act specifically targets DJI and their drones. If DJI was able to create a company that was 100% independent of DJI and located in a different country this seems like an attempt to get around the bill. My...

    AIR 3 PICTURE QUALITY PROBLEM

    If you have faith in reviews, I believe there were reviews that stated the sensors in the Mini 3 Pro and Mini 4 Pro have identical sensors. :) However reviews aside, let's assume that the Mini 4 Pro has a new generation stacked sensor that the Mini 3 pro doesn't have. For simplicity sakes we...

    AIR 3 PICTURE QUALITY PROBLEM

    Can you let us know where you saw that the Air 3 has a BSI sensor? The Air 3 may have a stacked sensor but I believe it is the same sensor generation as those found in the Mini 3P/4P and MP3 (medium telephoto) because there is nothing in the specs that indicate that the Air 3 has a greater...

    DJI or Third-Party chargers?

    I have a Wotobeus 200W charger that has two 100W ports and one 65W ports that are all PD 3.0 compliant. I just measured the power draw and the 100W port produced 108W and the 65W port showed 65.8W when charging my Air 3 batteries though the hub.

    DJI or Third-Party chargers?

    I think Anker makes very good products but when I was browsing chargers I noticed that they never stated that their chargers are fully compliant with PD 3.0 on the Amazon listings. I believe there were also a couple of reviews that described they were never able to achieve the same power...

    DJI or Third-Party chargers?

    I am guessing that the Anker Charger is not fully PPS/PD compliant. Do the Anker specs state PD 3.0? Many of the Anker Chargers use their own proprietary fast charge technology called PIQ which may not support the PPS/PD protocol.

    DJI or Third-Party chargers?

    Most companies and people will use the terms "charger", "power supply" and "power adapter" interchangeably and while there are subtle differences between these terms, they are typically used to describe an external device that provides power to a battery. While a battery charger can come with...

    Just picked up an Air 3 for a great price...

    Congratulations on an awesome deal! I recommend getting a lanyard for your RC-2 Controller as they make handling things a lot more convenient. I would hold off on most accessories until you get some flying time and determine what you need based on your experiences. It's easy to get caught...

    Another Air 3 70mm spherical panorama test: Night

    While this is true, in the context of a 360 panorama, moving closer to an area will put you even further away from other parts of the scene which will magnify the effects of atmospheric conditions for those areas. The assumption here is that if you are taking a 360 panorama then you are...

    Propeller Storage Solution

    For me, the jury still is out on whether that’s a safe approach for storing the Mini. On the other hand, I really like those silicon bands and will buy a set for general use. Thanks for sharing.

    Mavic Mini uncommanded descent tests

    If you follow DJI diagram for folding the rear props, the left rear prop folds under the right prop. This is the way a new drone comes packaged. I've always thought the left prop will have a greater load placed on it with this folding configuration. This may explain why a greater number of...

    My Fix for the Mavic Mini RC Orientation Issue on iOS.

    Interesting solution because True North is not that different than Magnetic North, at least on my iPhone. Someone in another forum had suggested flipping an iOS phone 180 deg in the mount to fix the issue. In any case, I will try your approach on my next flight. Thanks for posting.
