Q: Which remote controllers are compatible with DJI Air 3?
DJI RC-N2 and DJI RC 2 are compatible with DJI Air 3.
Q: Compared with the O3 video transmission system, what are the upgrades of the O4 video transmission system?
The O4 video transmission system adopts an all-new hardware solution. The aircraft antenna system is upgraded from four antennas to six, and a new frequency band* has been added. The communication algorithm has also been upgraded, which not only delivers an FHD video transmission from a max range of 20 km**, but also features enhanced anti-interference capabilities, further improving the transmission stability in complex environments like urban settings. The remote controller also supports a 1080p/60fps max real-time live feed, with the higher frame rate delivering a smoother viewing experience.
* Can be used only in countries and regions where it is allowed by local laws and regulations.
** Measured in an open outdoor environment without interference and with FCC compliance. The above data shows the farthest communication range for one-way, non-return flights. Always pay attention to reminders in the app during your flight.
Q: Does the max transmission distance of the O4 video transmission system vary according to the interference level of the environment?
In different environments, the wireless interference level is different, and the max transmission distance will vary.
Unobstructed:
- Strong Interference: urban landscapes, approx. 1.5-4 km
- Medium Interference: suburban landscapes, approx. 4-10 km
- Low Interference: suburbs/seaside, approx. 10-20 km
Obstructed:
- Low Interference and Obstructed by Buildings: approx. 0-0.5 km
- Low Interference and Obstructed by Trees: approx. 0.5-3 km
Data tested under FCC standard in obstructed or unobstructed environments with typical interference. Used for reference purposes only and provides no guarantee for actual transmission distance.
Q: Compared with the DJI RC-N1 Remote Controller, what are the upgrades of the DJI RC-N2 Remote Controller?
The DJI RC-N2 Remote Controller has the following upgrades compared to the DJI RC-N1:
- The video transmission solution has been upgraded.
- The antenna system is upgraded from 1T2R to 2T2R.
- With DJI Air 3, the O4 video transmission can be used.
Q: Compared with DJI RC, what are the upgrades of DJI RC 2?
DJI RC 2 offers several upgrades over DJI RC:
- The processor performance is improved for smoother operation.
- The video transmission solution has been upgraded.
- The antenna system has been upgraded from 1T2R to 2T4R.
- With DJI Air 3, O4 video transmission can be used.
- DJI RC 2 features two built-in antennas and two external antennas, allowing angle adjustments for better video transmission effects.
Q: Does DJI Air 3 support omnidirectional obstacle sensing?
Yes, DJI Air 3 supports omnidirectional obstacle sensing.
Q: How is ActiveTrack 5.0 different from ActiveTrack 4.0?
ActiveTrack 5.0 can track subjects in eight directions, enabling more creative possibilities. It uses multiple vision sensors simultaneously to recognize and lock the subject in the frame, allowing you to adjust tracking angles smoothly for natural results. DJI Air 3 responds earlier to subject movements and environmental information, planning optimal tracking routes for smooth and stable footage.
Q: How do I update the firmware of DJI Air 3?
You can update the firmware on the DJI Fly app or by using DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series) desktop software. Details for both firmware update methods can be found on the official website.
Q: Which app is used with DJI Air 3? Where can I download it?
DJI Fly app is used with DJI Air 3. You can visit the Downloads page of DJI Air 3 (https://www.dji.com/air-3/downloads) on the official DJI website to find the latest app version.
Q: How long does it take to fully charge a DJI Air 3 Intelligent Flight Battery?
Approximately 80 minutes when charging with the connected USB-C charging cable of the DJI 65W Portable Charger. Approximately 60 minutes when charging with the DJI 100W USB-C Power Adapter and DJI Air 3 Battery Charging Hub.
Q: What are the upgrades of the DJI Air 3 Battery Charging Hub compared to the previous generation?
The new DJI Air 3 Battery Charging Hub has several upgrades compared to the previous generation:
- It supports power accumulation and an external discharge function.
- It adopts an upgraded structure for convenient carrying.
- The power accumulation function allows you to transfer remaining power from multiple batteries to the one with the highest remaining power, enabling longer effective flight time.
- The external discharge function allows the battery charging hub to be used as a power bank to output battery power to mobile devices through the USB-C port at a power of up to 82 W.
Q: Can I use other chargers with USB-C ports to charge the battery?
