    I took my AIR 2S up the morning after Milton passed through Central Florida. I hadn't taken her up in about 2 months and in my haste I didn't establish a homepoint. Long story shorter, getting ready to land, almost directly above me and had the very definition of a FlyAway. I was able to keep her Aloft once battery hit (10%) critical level but otherwise effectively unresponsive. The Auto mapping feature would have been a lifesaver. Moral of the story, don't get in too big of a rush and make sure to periodically calibrate your compass and IMU. I did get it back using the find my drone feature for the first time ever. It was close to a mile away in a neighbor's field. Under the circumstances, he was quite understanding and helpful. Thanks Dave. And lastly, while I do love my AIR 2S to death. The AIR 3S, while still fugly might be a worthy upgrade considering the auto mapping and LIDAR. Also, "60mph" daaang! 😋

    Ross, Thanks for the review. So much similarities between Mavic 3 Pro and Mavic 3S and they are as near as same weight!!!
    They should definitely raised the weight of the Mavic Pro new model at the list to 1.3kg to make a difference between them, otherwise they will be stuck in sales with the Mavic 3 Pro versions
    I believe an extra camera, wouldn’t make up the mind of many buyers as the Mavic 3S being good drone with similar stability, weight and with 2 cameras!

    Hey, Russ! Thanks for the nice launch day overview. I think overall this is a pretty major upgrade from the Air 3. I think the reason it didn't do much in the auto active track mode is because it was having to work too hard to keep up with you. I think if you slow down a little, it would do a lot more.
    I'm one of those guys who primarily want my drones for photos. I have a Mavic 3 Classic and love the photos it takes. Do you have a Mavic 3 you could compare this to?

    When you said "get on the edge of town -- get away from people" I chuckled because I knew what you we're talking about. Last weekend, I went to a nearby lake and arboretum to do audio/video field recording tests and OMG the people that were bugging me. It didn't matter that I positioned in places which were away from trails, etc -- once they spotted me -- they had to see what I was doing. When I was in the arboretum -- the thought came to my mind for possible uses for a good quality drone in a place like that. But then I thought about the real possibility of someone calling the police because they saw a crazy person with a drone in the arboretum. Anyway, nice vid.

    Since the new auto tracking mode was launched last year for the new software update, like the The DJI Mini 4 Pro's auto tracking mode the DJI Air 3S tracks the user from different positions as they move around, transitioning randomly. It's best used in open areas, and using it in areas with trees or along a road or trail can lead to the drone losing the subject or crashing.

    Good video. Liked and subscribed. I've been waiting for this drone to come out, and also waiting on the Mini 5 Pro to come out. Obviously this one is over the 250G limit and you must register it. My question is what all goes into the registering and what restrictions come along after it is registered (is your every move then tracked?). I just fly for fun. Just curious. Thanks!

    • @thomasmaughan4798
      @thomasmaughan4798 2 дня назад +1

      "is your every move then tracked?"
      Potentially, yes. It does not phone home but the control telemetry to and from the drone contains its position but also the current position of the controller.
      What this means is anyone with the right equipment can detect your drone and, more importantly, where YOU are. This is potentially useful since you too can identify other drones in the area and avoid collision. However, my drone does NOT appear on my Android phone so apparently not just anyone can detect your drone. So it has not been quite as alarming as first proposed. Now if FAA starts requiring online connection during the flight, THAT would be scary plus some locations simply don't have internet.
      Registering is super easy. go to the FAA drone zone, tell it whether you are registering for hobby (one number works for all your drones) or commercial (not hobby) in which case each drone must be registered. It will also require the serial number of the Remote ID module contained in the drone. This number is provided on a certificate but I think also you can view it in the remote controller. Cost is $5 on a credit card. Print the little certificate and keep it with you or in my case, the drone carry case. You also label the drone itself, exterior visibility, with this number.
