LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) on the DJI Air 3S will be used in the newest iteration of obstacle detection and avoidance.The DJI M30 has a LiDAR sensor that not only aids in obstacle detection and avoidance,but also allows you detect the range of any object that is selected in the camera’s view.I think a LiDAR sensor will also be in the upcoming DJI Mavic Pro 4.Depending on the weight of the sensor, a LiDAR sensor may also be included on the Mavic Mini 5 Pro as well.The use of a LiDAR sensor allows for a higher resolution of obstacle detection than visual detection and ultrasonic detection.I would be remiss in not mentioning that a LiDAR sensor will allow for detailed mapping and 3D scanning.
but still wont be as good as the Skydio 2's tracking was from like 5 years ago, and they didn't even use LIDAR. Would absolutely love to be wrong on that. As a creator who has a motorcycle channel, i need that tracking!
Well said boss. BUt my question is, could a LiDAR detect power lines? Power Lines are one of the nemesis of drones and if DJI is able to use this to detect those enemis of drones, then I will swap my Air 3 for the Air 3s.
I can’t wait for the Air 3S. I have already pre ordered this drone at a DJI store in Holland. When the Air 3S fly more combo is in the store, I get a call from the store. 😎
@@mazlumargunGreat, I’ll keep my eye out for the reviews. I’m not going to rush in, I’m gonna see what’s really on offer and how well it works first. I’m less than impressed with the Air 3’s ability to follow you on forestry tracks, I hope the 3s is much better.
Hi! I enjoyed that your video was concise, informative, calm and not frantic or artificially hyped up like that Drone Emotion guy or the Sony Alpha Rumors guy. Keep it up!
As a guy that recently destroyed his air three…. I’m secretly hoping they use the same batteries so I can just use my batteries for this one which I will be getting.
LIDAR equipped drones are used for mapping, 3-D modeling & producing accurate geospacial survey work used for photogrammetry projects like building 3D construction models. If this is what it's on the Air3S for, it might be DJI updating an affordable mapping solution with a replacement for the 6 year old Phanton VI Pro 2.0 which goes for around $1600 if you can find one. I could see this being a hot buy for people wanting to break into photogrammetry without dropping $4K on a Mavic 3E.
LiDAR allows for visibility through dense environments, such as forest canopies. It can create high-resolution digital elevation models with vertical accuracy of up to 1 centimeter. A LiDAR device has several components: a laser scanner, a GPS, and an Inertial Navigation System (INS). The equipment typically mounts onto a mobile vehicle, such as a drone, UAV, or automobile
I have a Mavic 2 pro right now with a 1 inch sensor. so I really hope the bring the 1inch sensor to the air 3s. I really like the Mavic 2 it's just the software is so dated and idk it keeps almost crashing when doing poi mode. so I want to upgrade my drone. I want a Mavic 3 but its super expensive so we shall see
I’m hoping what the LIDAR will do is enable the drone to follow me through the woods without hitting trees or becoming too field shy. Some of the videos on the Air 3 leave a lot to be desired. They’re just too field shy and can’t seem to follow you, they lose track of you too easily.
I agree I don’t see this as a big update. The last thing they want to do is cannibalize the Mavic line.which I believe they were doing. I suspect the Mavic 4 will be amazing
@@JoshConnectMedia I use a 10inch tab and its so intuitive I dont even need to look at the drone while flying...feels like am the pilot of a plane now the controllers screen is smaller and only advantage I heard so far is that the controller is bright
I have an Air2S, MINI 4 Pro and the MAVIC 4 Pro. I’ll sell the lot for the MAVIC 4 Pro if they put in THREE 1” sensors. Their 1/2” sensor for their 166mm is a waste of pixels.
