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!

@Dcrainmaker Год назад

Thanks, much appreciated!

@psoon04286 Год назад

That’s crazy weather for the drone. Yet it’s rock steady. Very impressive👍😄

@bushmanphotos Год назад

that's what I call a proper test... much respect... you are the best drone tester and most honest one by miles

@Dcrainmaker Год назад

Thanks - much appreciated!

This guy is the best high wind tester! Hands down!!!!

@Ezio470 Год назад

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.

@Errr717 Год 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.

@Dcrainmaker Год назад

🤣 Coming up! Just gotta finish editing it!

@Baleur 2 месяца назад

6:40 to solve this, i nowadays just go straight over the object (or close to, 60 degree angle above), box select it, then orbit manually until it changes into the gps marker icon. Then it will usually be smack in the middle of the object or building. THEN you can do all the orbits shots and quick shots and it wont drift to the side as it usually does. I think it doesnt actaully track the object via pattern recognition during the whole thing, it just captures samples then approximates a GPS coordinate to orbit around.

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

Thanks for this. I finally got an Air 3 and I’m really glad to see what I might be able to do with my drone but I don’t have to risk my drone to see.

@Windsurfingaddict Год назад

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 😎😎😎😎

Had my original mavic 3 in 60mph gusts filming a fireworks display and still rock steady footage.

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.

@beedroneinsta Год 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.

That's awesome. Back in the early days, flying in wind like that was almost a guaranteed lost drone.

@ptaylor5014 Год 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 Год 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.

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 Год 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.

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

@wsy987 Год назад

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

@rickym7380 Год назад

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

@elmatador338 Год назад

Dude you almost made me lose my breath, that’s hilarious, I thought the drone could never make it, you have a lot of courage gambling with these conditions, that’s a lot of fear…watching it land safely was a big relief, man please don’t do it again 😂

@WiljanWiljan Год 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 Год 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 :/

@MrLeroy144 9 месяцев назад

Hey, nice work but how did you get it to go up to 21 m/s or 75km/h here in the Netherlands? Mine is software limited too 18,5 m/s about 65km/h

@kraggman Год 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. 😂😂

@kingisrael1532 Год 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?

@kevinhowe6307 Год назад

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.

@isjf2048 Год назад

I can assure you that the Mini 3 Pro can't survive that wind. Almost lost my drone on a recent trip and the wind was nowhere near the strong

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)?

@davidro77 Год назад

yeah also keen to know, what risk are you taking here with gusts potential to knock it out of the sky, or ok?

@tommycheshire5508 Год назад

Sir: can you tell me about your wind speed instrument? I really appreciate your help.

The second failure for the quickshot threw up a "control stick moved -exiting Quickshot." - understandable with you getting pounded by the sand, etc. Not sure you noticed at the time.

@richardalvarez6768 Год 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.

@sniffiejoe9370 Год назад

than you cant fly

@richardalvarez6768 Год назад

@@sniffiejoe9370 sure I can

@spacehopper77 Год 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 Год 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

@erbartlett Год 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 Год 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.

@Lytemotiv Год назад

test ist perfect! cool drone for wind watersports! but 1080/200fps looks not that nice.. maybe you can film some video just in 100fps 4k? I

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

@Dcrainmaker Год 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.
