Can the DJI Air 3 handle the strong wind storm? I put it to the test to find out. Buy the DJI Air 3 here (amzn.to/46rdLh0), link helps support the channel and is much appreciated!
See how it handles the winds in a variety of tests, including sport mode, normal mode, telephoto/zoom lens, slow-mo, take-off, landing, and more!
In this test I put the DJI Air 3 to the limits in a 60KPH wind storm, to see how it handles. Not just the winds, but also light rain, and even a bit of unexpected sand upon landing. Plus, at the end I've got tons of footage in 4K/60, 4K/100, and 1080p/200FPS, as well as lots of shots in slow-mo and more.

What makes DC Rainmaker great is that he's honest. His honesty and accurate depiction of these expensive products are what set him apart from other reviewers. Looking forward to the obstacle avoidance test!

You're the only youtuber whose reviews i actually watch fully. You do great obstacle avoidance and wind tests. If the drone can survive your tests, it'll do fine where I live.

That was a great high wind test review! But that footage at the very end just fantastic and so epic! The quality was incredible too

@Errr717 10 месяцев назад

You did an awesome job flying the little bird in probably one of the windiest conditions of all your tests. It was informative and certainly entertaining. It's still not as good as diving for drones though. So it passes DC Rainmaker's wind test in flying colors. Can't wait for the tree avoidance test.

As always a very enjoyable entertaining video to watch, Dispute all the geo fencing ect you get with DJ1 you have to give it to them for the super stabilisation, quality of the video given the grey conditions and high wind capabilities, love the slow mo on the last clips of the waves and bigger speed boat and wow how many kite surfers out, drones have come along way in daily short timescale 😎😎😎😎

@beedroneinsta 10 месяцев назад

Ray i have to say that was probably one of the best wind test to date i have seen. You had to deal with the elements there ... drone work like a charm. how was the controller after your testing? do you know if the Air 3 work with the RC Pro. or is that hardware with the new chip. Again great video there as always. you always pack so much information into your video.

@7MPhonemicEnglish 10 месяцев назад

@WiljanWiljan 10 месяцев назад

Excellent and brave test! Well done! How would you compare the wind resistance against the mavic 3 pro? Also what does the ongoing error message mean about air map data load error? It pops up all the time on your controller display?

@Dcrainmaker 10 месяцев назад

I’d say they are equal, no issues. The error message is a bug present for EU users on the RC2. I believe it was finally fixed yesterday. The data was there/good, just an erroneous error message. It appeared every 10 seconds :/

@erbartlett 10 месяцев назад

Would you go for the Mavic 3 or the Air 3? I have a 2s and am filming kitesurfing so I need a zoom to get close without getting caught in the kite lines. I also film in 25-35mph winds pretty exclusively. Love your reviews!

@Dcrainmaker 10 месяцев назад

Wind-wise, there's no difference between the two aircraft in real-life, so, either one is good there. Then, you're down to the zoom lenses. I presume you're referring to either Mavic 3 or Mavic 3 Pro (not Classic). In that case, the main difference is the added 7x camera, which, is certainly fun to use (really, I love it), but you'd be surprised with just how easily you can capture stuff on the 3x lens that's on both units. And, for windsurfing, I'd assume you'd want to capture both human+kite, so, having the 7X is going to basically crop you into just the human, versus the 3X you can get both. At that point, I've seen zero real-world difference between Mavic 3 Pro and Air 3 in all my footage.

@kraggman 10 месяцев назад

Still gathering intel on this drone. Currently have an M2P and Air 2S. And a Skydio 2, which I may sell to fund the Air 3. This is great info though since we vacation on the outer banks and I fight high winds all the time. Keep up the good work and don't fly in any hurricanes. 😂😂

@Designguidetv 10 месяцев назад

@rutgerremkes 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the all the good info! I have two questions: can you charge the battery directly while plugged into the drone? And can you download footage directly from the drone to your phone, without the RC? Hope you can give me some answers, thanks in advance!

@66cotter 10 месяцев назад

I've seen another video where he shows charging the battery directly from the drone (Air 2S can't). Not sure about your other questions.

@gblock777 10 месяцев назад

Yes you can! And yes you can use QuickTranfser from the Aircraft to your Smartphone without RC!😎

Wish you had the gage up in the bottom corner that shows how the drone is leveled. Would have been cool to see it at a full slant still maintaining stability.

The DJI Air 3 is more than just a drone - it's a tool that empowers your creativity. Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker, a photography enthusiast, or simply someone who loves to explore the world from above, the Air 3 offers you the freedom to create stunning content that stands out.

@mrvin.10 10 месяцев назад

Glad to see air 3 holds strong winds. Hope you can also do skydio vs air 3 obstacle avoidance comparison. I hope dji beats skydio this time.

@wsy987 10 месяцев назад

There's no way DJI beats Skydio in obstacle avoidance.

@rickym7380 10 месяцев назад

The Skydio 2 literally has an Nvidia Jetson TX2 on it, the air 3 will obviously lose

@spacehopper77 10 месяцев назад

Perhaps a silly question. Is the 19m/s EU speed limiting done by the software and the motors are not lower in power so that an EU drone would have the same wind capabilities as the rest of the world, just it can go above 19 m/s? Or is it lower powered? Fantastic video.

@TheDeadlyraptor 10 месяцев назад

It’s on the GPS position that puts it f That as I have Mavic 3 and if run in FCC mode get full 21m/s

@ptaylor5014 10 месяцев назад

I noticed that the RC strength dropped into the orange colour, i wonder if the weather affected this new OcuSync 4.0? i get better range with my Mini 2 on OcuSync 2.0, granted that is in very good conditions though.

@Dcrainmaker 10 месяцев назад

Nah, it was merely because it shifted behind the giant container I was standing next to for cover, thus why I had to move a moment later.

@kingisrael1532 10 месяцев назад

I noticed around 1:57 into the video how the battery time was jumping around. That was weird. I guess it does that with strong winds because of the stress on the drone?

Can this handle as much wind as the Mavic 2 PRO?

@richardalvarez6768 10 месяцев назад

I lost my mavic air 2 due to strong winds, the battery drained before it could make if back to me, it landed on some mountain right before it turned off. Good to know that the air 3 does better in strong winds and the battery is larger.

is it possible due to high wind that the drone flips and shuts off (like when you grab it out of the air during landing)?

I am continually impressed with DJI, my mini 3 pro could handle those winds just as stable I feel like. Although my Avata not so much, it would not be able to handle these conditions one bit but they are entirely different drones.

9:20 ✈️ airplane in the sky. Good to see safety

@Dcrainmaker 10 месяцев назад

The wide body jet you hear is some 3,500-4,500ft high typically in that stage of over the coastline as they work their way towards AMS and runway 18R, nearly 20km away. This area is well outside the no-fly zone, and AirSense is/was enabled, so any meaningful unexpected/emergency concerns would pop up on the screen. Finally, I’m flying in the correctly regulated airspace below the required altitudes, following all rules as a licensed operator. So yes, good to see safety. Let me know if you have any actual questions - or if you’re just gonna pretend to know what you’re taking about.
