Dang! I can’t believe how many of you want a waterproof drone! 😳
it really makes sense if you think about it, flying while snowing in the mountains could generate some awesome shots.
For someone who flies a drone because he/she likes drones, I can understand that waterproofing is not so important. From the point of view of a photographer or videographer who uses a drone as a tool - a flying camera - weather resistance is crucial. For landscape, wildlife and outdoor photographers weather proofing is a major selling point when they pick up a new camera or a lens. Changeable weather, stormy clouds, snow, fog and even rain give you the best conditions for epic or moody photographs. So yes, weather proofing is important.
It's when you have a downpour after you take off that I need protection from. Been a few cases where it looks fantastic scenery and you take off only for it to start raining 10 mins into the flight and you don't get enough time to land before it starts.
Plus I'm from the UK,😁. It always grey and you can never tell when it will start raining. Which is most of the time😂
Waterproof super light gimbal sounds really tough
I'd be interested in waterproof in case my drone crashes into water. Clouds, fog and lack of visibility almost always make flying in rain/snow against the 107 rules
I do disagree about one of your last points, weatherproofing. I do not want to fly on the rain but I do want that assurance that if there is all the sudden heavy rain, my drone will be just fine for a minute or so while I land it. There are some spectacular views just before storms with a small window of time to make recording possible. So, it is not about flying on a rain, is about being OK if you were caught on a rain while returning in it home. There is a bit of weather resistance they say on the Mavics but I never risk it. As for the other points, absolutely spot on. For me low light camera improvements would be one of the biggest wishes. Cellular connectivity would be amazing too (for my use not so much, but it would be amazing anyway) Battery life I think is pretty good as it is, but if they manage to increase the flight time without making the drones heavier, I am all up for that. Finally, excellent video as usual. Thank You.
weatherproofing would actually be nice because bad weather can lead up to some beautiful cinematic results. Also for the mini series would love to see the props to be revamped...end the days of stripping the screws. :(
100% agree we need a US competitor to DJI consumer drones.
For flight over water, waterproofing has merit... Also "tiny air bladders" (inside the drone arms?) to keep it buoyant "just in case!" 😉
I'm still rocking the Dji mini 2. Might be a bit dated but man it's so smooth. I agree we need more manufacturers in the drone space, especially with the US dji drone ban.
Me too, and I really like it!
Thank you ,for the info❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Waterproofing (and the ability to float) is REALLY important to those who fly around water.
Thanks, Russ. Just What Doctor The Ordered ...lol!
Happy Flying!
I want a DJI Potato2! That airframe is super fun to fly and if it had a great camara that'd be awesome!
Yes colors would be great!!
That branches and power lines - YEAH ! need that badly
Still sending prayers for your wife. Let us know when you have good news! And I'm still with you on a Phantom 5. I still love the form factor and they could easily put on beefed up cameras without the expense inherent on the on larger enterprise type drones like the M200-300+ series or the Inspire series. I love DJI but your competition point is extraordinarily valid. Keep up the good work!
My prediction for my drone fleet in 2024 is that they’ll continue flying weekly in non-compliance with Remote ID. So, 2024 is gonna look a lot like 2023. 😎
I actually use RID as a benefit. I fly in the front yard so that all Karens can see me & when they come up to tell me not to fly over their land I inform them that the Karen-apps offer my RID# to the public so they should report my behavior instead of harassing me about them not knowing how to read. My State has Privacy-laws written in such a harmful manner that it created a drone-hate-culture where even my Constable is telling people not to return crashed drones b/c the photos on the drone might be illegal, I think he & his Karens have hookworms in their brains.
The first DJI Mavic Pro drone, was my first drone to start, after I let down the RC helicopter hobby for a few years. Since, I definitely saw some amazing improvement in the drone tech, and I am looking forward to see what's coming our way in the next years !
Russ…2024 intro to your wishlist! Awesome!
As a photographer who flies almost exclusively at dusk or dark, I support bigger sensors, though I'm pretty happy with the m43 sensor we have now. I think an APS-C sensor would be hard in the current form factor, especially if you want to keep the multiple focal lengths. But I'm sure the technology exists, and I'd pay for it.
I'd also pay for more weather resistance. As someone who came from the sports photography world, I didn't have a choice not to shoot in the rain, and it resulted in some of my best photos. I'd love the opportunity to do that from the air.
Thanks Russ. Always superior content. My best to you and your family in the new year. Jeff/Annapolis
Thank you!
I would like to see DJI step up and make a drone with Skydio's tracking and obstacle avoidance.
Skydio's tech was superb. I wish I bought one before they decided to focus on enterprise drones.
Learn to fly...I never use that bs
Hey Russ, sending good vibes and prayers to you and your family. Thank you very much for the video and content.
My list is more of a guess. First, an Air 3s with one inch sensor from pocket 3 but way better than the pocket 3's 9.1mp maybe true 20mp. 4k 60:4k100-200fps 1080p 400fps O4 transmision ect maybe O4+. Definitely some type of Avata 2 could be smaller. Maybe an RC Pro2 or more compatibly to the RC Pro. It's a great controller. Definitely LTE feature would be good, the Air 3 already has provisions inside for it. I'm sure there's stuff I forgot to add.
I think the advance could be much more. To have drones for personal transportación, it is already happenning in a couple of countries, technology in order to manage groups of drones is another example.
Great video! The Mavic Air 1 was the last with color options :)
Oh ya! I forgot about that!
Adjustable aperture on the mini drones would be sweet
my wishlist is a mavic 4! and a air 3s
Good video, Russ. I think the technology has got to be available to let the pilot know how high the drone is above ground where it is at. At least within a few seconds or less. It would be nice to have that feature as well as height from take off point. I am also thinking that maybe DJI might offer a Mavic class drone on the O4 transmission system soon.
Nice video and agree with you! I would also like to see a Mavic 4 pro!
Good video, some interesting points. Good to watch someone who isn't constantly complaining about DJI drones. People want top end features for low cost prices. They'll pay 1800$ for an iPhone but want double the features on a drone for under 1000$. I've had 3 Sparks, 2 Mavic Pros an Air 2and currently an Air 2s, all bought mint condition second hand. But this year the Air 3s will be my first new drone.
I wish dji would do a blackout AND WHITEOUT color options maybe even red! or if you could customize colors!
Great wish list. I want to add 2 more to your wish list:
1. Fail proof 100% tracking capability. The mini 4 pro active track is pretty good but it is not 100% yet for my use. I do dog agility, a sports that requires the handler to run and to change directions and speed and positions on an agility course often and abruptly. Current active track 360 will lost track of me when the environment and my clothes don’t have great contrast, in low light situation or when there is lots of sun shadow.
2. I also want a drone with a camera that use AI to zoom in and out (situational) on the tracked subject. Filming on a single wide angle lens is good when the subject is close to the drone but when the subject is at distance, I become a very small moving subject on the video.
Thank you. I need this kind of information. Question: What do you think of the Potensic Atom as a first drone. I'm considering...
I just got DJI mini 4 Pro what kind SD card should I use for my drone and my RC controller thanks
I would absolutely be flying in the rain if they gave me IP55 on a consumer drone. I actually really enjoy storm photography. It would also be great for those of us in areas that get snow for a significant portion of the year.
Bingo!
I second this comment
Nice thought and wants. With the DJI Avata - how about Avata2 and Avata2 mini? Then go with Air3c (cine), Air3s (sport), Air3R (rugged), and Air3L (lite or SE at lower price but same size)? The color options would be good. There’s already a market for stickers that cover the drone how you want. I look forward to what this year brings for drones. Nicely done!
The establishment of autonomous delivery systems will be rolling out in 2024. We can see how the FAA and public deal with the new change.
I'd love to see something between the mavic and inspire, much like the way the M30 site between the mavic 3e and m350. And it could have a higher end camera like you already mentioned. Also, theres some vinyl stickers you can get to customize your drones, so if dji or other companies could partner up, then we'd be all set in that department .
Something like... A phantom 5?
Thanks Russ! What specs do you think we'll see in the AIR3s? Cheers!
First of all, I appreciate all of the nice videos I have learned from each one of them I've been watching you for a year. I had the mini two and then I stepped up to the mini three pro and then here comes the mini four pro so I got it. I still own the three and the four pro, the only reason I would buy anything else is if there was a mini five pro with thermal
I’d like to see more drone manufacturers add a hard, waterproof carrying case ship with their “Fly More” combos.
Yes!
But that's something only a subset of buyers would want.
In the US, it seems to me so many users drive to their location, then take off right from their car (well, truck, if we're honest). Sure, a hardcase makes sense in a scenario where you want to protect your drone when you throw it in the back of the truck and then don't have to lug it around.
For me, while I sometimes do drive to my fly spot, I am rarely in a position to take off where I park up. For me, a soft shoulder bag or a backpack is the way to go. So, adding that cost to a fmc package, no thanks.
💯 From job site to job site, the puzzle pack and unpacking get old fast multiple times a day.
Steel surplus ammo box.
The money we pay for them they should come with a waterproof case not some cheesy bag.
I definitely would love to fly in the rain you can capture some amazing footage in the rain! It would absolutely be amazing in my opinion I can think of so many possibilities
I would love to see more pre-flight programming and basic mapping built into the apps.
An Air3S would be great, I’m flying the air2S and loving it but it might be time to upgrade in the next year or so. I agree, weather resistant would nice for snow or light rain, just so it doesn’t get damaged when you’re trying to land and the weather comes on suddenly. I’m in so Minnesota it’s definitely possible, as you know being in the North Dakota.
Add me to the list that wants weatherproofing, Russ. Some of my best pictures and video has been in the snow and rain. Plus, I’ve had several occasions that I’ve been caught in a pop-up thunderstorm. I’m actually considering buying another Fimi X8 drone, because it has weatherproofing.
DJI needs to keep their eye on Zero Zero Robotics. That HoverAIR X1 is quite the little drone that just keeps on giving.
I would certainly buy a mini Avata
My wish list… 1st: An orange drone looking like the DJI Avata FPV, but floating waterproofed (like the orange SPRY drone) fitted with several cameras on a DJI Avata “lookalike” drone that’s capable of “swimming” and take off from / land on water. Googles and controllers need not be any different from the Avata.
2nd: A stereo microphone jack so the various drones can be used as remote controlled or handheld video recorders. Why not?
3rd: A easy removable lens assembly so that various lenses can become available, including telephoto lenses.
4th: A optional landing only pad that will communicate “here I am with IR.?” to the drone so it will perform a controller initiated precise landing on a moving boat or car. When landed it will be retained by a strong magnet. Only a landing pad so take-off by hand or from a “dumb pad”
5th: The return button / stop button will also “freeze” the drone so it is more easy to hand catch.
6th: Future mobile network 5G connection if legally possible. Probably not. :-(
Oh yeah, I agree on a 5G/Phone nav system, total game changer. Also, all new drones come with a spec night/day strobe. Also, controller with 2k+ nits; 3k like new Galaxy 24 Ultra would be killer.
Great video!👍🏼
🙏🏼 prayers all is well.
Phantom = M3D? At a higher cost.
The Matrice 3D with swappable payloads is top wishlist for me.
I want to know…what the future is for California Drone Jobs. I like this Channel and it’s full of great insight and knowledge info to follow…I’m really having a hard time landing a Drone Job, here in SoCal…even if part time.
Looking forward to hearing back.
Also Does it depend what drone you own…if you’ll only land a job… if you have the next biggest or Newest Drone Tech, like A Mavic 3 or higher? All I’m looking to do is Home & or Insurance Inspections…With all my certifications…Seems I have to be a Sales Rep for myself to land work…What California company is known to hire Drone Pilots instead of app jobs with little experience?
Oh, I'd also like to see DJI open up the Mavic series to SDK to use with other software.
Hey 51drones, I would love to see DJI make either the air 3s or 4 with better low/moon light capability, better weather resistance, and better/stronger zoom (wether DJI wants to make it separate cameras with different focal lengths or 1 camera with optical zoom)
A better visibility controller screen that you can actually see outside on a bright day.
I don't know if you are aware,the air 3 has the ability to upgrade it to your cell phone provider the top piece comes off so you can upgrade it.
In certain markets.
What would you think the air 3s specs would be?
I’d like to see an affordable controller with a truly visible screen in very bright conditios
Beacon based subject tracking please.
Russ, Thanks for all you do for our drone community. I would add two more things to what I would like to see standard on all drones. 1st, a built in always on 3 statute mile beacon. 2nd, hot swappable batteries. I don't understand why drones don't have these two features already built in.
From a professional aspect I would love to see a Matrice 35 come out from DJI, with a swappable payload. I'd love to have the option of a thermal camera and a Lidar sensor and not need two seperate drones. The thermal camera on the 350 is as much as an entire 30T and the size of the 350 is really a bit much for what I need it for.
My dream would be a mini 1" Inspire, with
1.Iinterchangeable 1 inch lenes,
2. Maybe a camera that when detached from the drone could be used on a gimbal " pocket 3 style"
This would make it easier to match the image from the drone with the ground based shots.
3. I would like to see some combination of features.
E.g AEB in all panorama modes.
4 Real way points with more options at each waypoint.
5. I would like to see some features from DSLR cameras, Eg
Focus peaking for a more detailed picture.
Just dreaming 😂
So the waterproofing would be great for flying jobs when there is a possibility of rain or snow. I personally am waiting for the Air3s to releases this year. I specifically skipped the air3. I am expecting it to have the full 1 inch sensor double camera set up. That and the Mavic 3 classic will then be my main 2 drones. Unless they don’t upgrade the sensor in the air3s.
Be sure to watch this again in 2025!
I’d like to see a simple hand-held remote for controlling the basics once your drone is up and flying.
Hi Russ, I shoot still shoots primarily and I'd like less noise than the Air 3. I'd like 48M and no lag time to take another shot. When you're shooting a still of a moving object, you only have ONE chance to capture that image. Now, I hit the shutter release and wait while my moving object moves past the composition I'd like to have.
Air 3s please 😊
That will be nice to add intermedia drone just to make a little bit better. That will be great. Those little details. Make a big change You could add a little bit of expired three. Drone will be something great to have.
I want a "Made in USA" drone. Thanks for making it #1 point.
I'd like to see more innovation in the controller. The joystick controllers are throwbacks from RC planes in the 80s. DJI has that controller that senses tilt, which is cool but only the beginning because many maneuvers are very tricky with that controller (Strafing is done with the thumb joystick etc).
I am with you Russ on drone company competition, not enough. I also believe that if you have a drone that does everything you want and will use then stay with that drone. You can pay a lot for the newest and latest drone. Is it really necessary if your present drone does what you want?
Perhaps a North American built Mavic Enterprise style drone with interchangable payloads. And weather resistance.
I would also like to see an Avata mini however the Defender 16 with DJI 03 might be an option.
I only saw one other comment out of all these comments that mentioned it, but i really need skydio level tracking from DJI. As a solo creator doing motorcycle content, it is one of the most important features to me. The reason i am not selling my Air 2s, even though i really want the other features of the Air 3, is because Litchi with DJI does not work with the Air 3, and Litchi + Dji is the best solution i currently have for tracking me on my motorcycle. Concerning though that others, or you, really care about this. Tells me DJI probably doesn't care either.
Can you help me with a question regarding "no fly zones."? I have gone through the proper channels and have approval and downloaded the license to my controller and drone. My question is do I have to begin the flight in the zone that I have approval? My problem is I take off in a non restricted area but fly into a restricted zone. My drone stops flying even though I have the GEO feature turned on. Thanks
Looking for help repairing corrupt files
I have DJI Inspire file and a couple of GoPro files that will not play
Any recommendations on an app or other tips to repair them
I’d like to see weatherproofing…fly in rain, land/takeoff in water, fishing.
There are already drones for that on the market
I am flying the mini4pro a lot lately, and even though it is packed with features, it does not have video quality even close to my air2s. I am waiting for a mavic4pro to hopefully have a stacked sensor and of course it will work with this newer Occusync like in Air3 and Mini4. The signal is just perfect. But if I see Mavic 4 Pro to be a long wait, I might settle for some Air3s temporarily😅
Still love my Air 2s
Thanks Russ, I agree with 6K on a drone! I think most want better video! Hope all is well!
Another excellent and thoughtful video, Russ! Do you think there will be a Mini 5 Pro in 2024?
Nah
Until we see the introduction of some groundbreaking new battery, OA, camera or toroid propeller technology we appear to have neared the pinnacle of consumer drone technology for the time being.
I would like to see inter-gated lighting from the factory. Not just the lighting on the arms but on top, bottom, and rear of the drone. I am a first time drone owner. Got a DJI Mini 3 on Christmas Eve. My biggest complaint is the lack of lighting. For us let’s say late to the game older people it would be great to be able to see the drone easily when it’s in the air for some of us older folks.
As a nature photographer, I have to disagree about the importance of weatherproofing since some of the most dynamic light comes at the tail end or right after a storm. It would be nice to have the confidence to fly a drone in these conditions.
Good point!
How do you buy a 51 drones cap?
Maily, I'd like see waterproof flight controller, ESC, VTX, camera.
I'd like to see them a lot more inexpensive!😊
I want the explorer mode update for the air 3
An Air3s would be sweet. Keep the large sensor and add flight path waypoints.
Already has waypoints
@@ChuckD05 Thanks!
I want to see a mavic 4 and a air 3s and mini 5 pro mini4
👍👍✌️
would like to see Lighter Battery weight..dont need to fly right up to the limit..and a company in Japan all ready makes them. Thanks
Yeah weather proofing would be great, there so many shots like flying in when it's snowing like the big wet snowflakes would be beautiful the ones that stick to the trees, I fly in when it's the really cold snow that just bounce off but I'd love to fly without worry if it starts raining or there's a shot I just want to have to change it up. And I believe weather proofing would be awesome to have
Also night vision obstacle avoidance would be a huge upgrade and awesome to have
Not losing contact with my drone would relieve a lot of stress! That and the elimination of all trees! Great wish list!
I want a waterproof drone not for flying in the rain, but the ability to float and handle water while shooting footage during water sports, kayaking etc. I also would like to see a drone from DJI that can be operated without a remote. Lastly, Im waiting for an Avata that is just as quite as my mini 4 pro.
I would love to have a Mavic 4 that has a rotational camera like the Mini 3/4 drones....with the 24mm and 70mm. D-log and d-log M in slow motion and night mode. Also 5k60 since right now all we get with Mavic series is 5.1k30
20x Optical Zoom, WITH OS4. That's all I want
Ive literally crashed 3 skydio 2+ drones using the beacon, quite literally. Due to powerlines
To get the nite vision I want, I need to go with the Autel Max 3N, but dang.... $$$$$
Do you think the DJI Mavic 3 Thermal will drop in price with the new year starting? or maybe a new model of DJI Thermal camera drone coming out this year?
Not for at least another year.
Avata 2 lets go❤❤❤❤❤❤
If you don't like gray, they make stickers for drones.
More rules. bigger rules. Greater rules. Rules governing the rules..
Tougher rules!
I would like to see backward compatibility with Ocusync 4 so we can have a one transmitter for all drones, at least back to Ocusync 2.
