    Air 3S photo quality analysis with comps M2Pro and iPhone 15Pro

    this is exactly the way I prefer doing photos with the Air 3S: free panorama with the 3x lens (and 12 MP photos): so much more details without having to deal with 48MB issues! In my testing free panoramas with 3x2 photos work best. Just wondering if the Air 3 will ever get free panorama via...

    will the Air 3s ever get night mode ?

    To give you an idea, I just uploaded a video I recently filmed with the DJI Air 3S: DJI Air3 = no night mode??? Normal mode, all settings to Auto, 4k 30fps. The uploaded video is "as is" (not sure what YT will do: compression?), otherwise no grading, correction, just stitching two videos...

    Creating Complex Waypoint Flight Plans for The Air 3 and the Mavic 3

    Maybe you can explain how to change the wpml file to have straight lines? Would be interesting how to do that (as I am using waypoints for field mapping, and there i need straight lines). Do I have to download the SDK for doing that? I am also using the Litchi Utilities first for converting it...

    will the Air 3s ever get night mode ?

    So I watched it again, but I don't think this video does the Air 3S justice: as stated before, I was able to got much better night videos with my Air 3, and from my first comparison (Air 3 to Air 3S) the Air 3S is at least the same quality, if not better. Would love to get you some more samples...

    Creating Complex Waypoint Flight Plans for The Air 3 and the Mavic 3

    I am also an old "Litchi User" from Mavic Pro (where I was still able to upload the complete mission before take off) to Mavic Air 2 and Mini 2 (with virtual sticks, which almost resulted in shaky flights) to now Air 3 and Air 3. With my Air 3 and Air 3S I use the RC 2 controller - but planning...

    will the Air 3s ever get night mode ?

    you're correct, in that video the night shot of the Air 3S was really bad! Nevertheless I can tell you that the Air 3 can do much better, this is from a video I did last year: Nightmode, everything else set to auto! And in my short comparison I did between the Air 3 and the Air 3S a few...

    Using my UK drone in the USA

    Coming from Europe, I already did the TRUST certificate in April this year and took my DJI Mini 2 with me for our vacation in Florida, as it is below 250g. Now for next vacation in the U.S., I'm thinking of taking my DjI Air 3 with me (just checked the Remote ID is approved by FAA), but have to...

    will the Air 3s ever get night mode ?

    (forgot to mention: Drone A is the DJI Air 3, Drone B is the DJI Air 3S)

    will the Air 3s ever get night mode ?

    This is from my testing - zoomed in to make the difference visible: the purple color of the three houses in the middle you see in "Drone B" is lost in the video from "Drone A", looks overexposed to me. Also if you compare the three purple lighted houses in the screenshot, the house on the left...

    will the Air 3s ever get night mode ?

    The DJI Air 3S has no dedicated night mode, but instead adopt to night time settings automatically. Yes, the Air 3 has a dedicated „night mode“, but for a good reason: ISO for filming in normal mode is only up to 6400 for the Air 3, only in night mode filming with ISO up to 12800 is possible. In...

    Air 3S - Wondering why I upgraded.

    reading this, it just reminds me of something I noticed already a few months back with my Dji Air3: live feed on the controller/signal strength (DJI RC 2) seems to be worse compared to when I purchased my Air 3 last year. First I blamed weather conditions, antenna arrangement and/or positioning...

    Does the DJI mission app provide the ability to get cinematic footage autonomously?

    Works on Mavic Air 2 and Mini 2 .. although not as smooth as with Air3/Air3S waypoint missions , as Litchi cannot upload a mission to Mavic Air 2 and Mini 2 upfront, but instead gives constantly commands via controller during the flight

    Video Night Mode?

    If you compare the specs: DJI Air3 Normal Mode: ISO 100 - 6400 DJI Air3 Night Mode. ISO 100 - 12800 DJI Air3S Normal Mode: ISO 100 - 12800 One YouTuber mentioned that the Air3S will detect night scenes and automatically push up ISO… BUT: this will only happen automatically up to 4K 30fps...

    Does the DJI mission app provide the ability to get cinematic footage autonomously?

    One thing I forgot to mention: generic workflow how to upload your own KMZ file: 1) create a basic waypoint mission on the controller, two random waypoints anywhere on the map are enough (as we will replace this later anyway) 2) in the waypoints folder of your controller, figure out the cryptic...

    Does the DJI mission app provide the ability to get cinematic footage autonomously?

    Don‘t worry @MARK (LI) , you will only work in the waypoints folder of your controller, and worst thing what could happen here is that the waypoint mission you are touching may not work anymore afterwards. The way the RC2 handles waypoint is very simple: for every new mission you create, the...
