The image quality is truly amazing. I think the 03 unit would be fantastic on something like a sub 250g AOS 3.5 or similar frame that has very low resonance. Nice video 👍
Norfolkian ('pom') on the Barrier Reef! Know how viscious the winter Sun can be there, never leaving the car windows, from morning to night! The slight 'jello' did not surprise me but I was surprised by what must be 'lens flare', moving accros the glass like a 'bog demon' EVEN when the Sun was nowhere in the FOV! Can not say I have noticed it on any of the footage from numerous Insta360 (Twin Cam) videos, whats your experience (Insta360) in that paddock at a similar time, on a winter's day?
I think a few factors contributed to you having jello. First of all the low sun creating challenging lighting condition with high contrast. Not using a ND Filter causing the shutter to be fairly high resonating with the vibrations of the drone and of course the mechanical part with low diameter (probably out of balance) props spinning at high RPM creating high freq noise. I'd start with putting fresh props on and maybe if possible higher the PWM Frequency in BLHeli32Suite. After that get an ND Filter to lower the shutter speed
I assume you have the wtf.osd since the OSD shows the battery status as betaflight does. Did you need to do the root procedure again after updating? Thnx in adv
I'm assuming it's recording the OSD overlay on the Goggle DVR?? But not the onboard DVR? Can I pop round and try on your Walksnail Goggles to see if my old eyes will focus etc?...?...lol..😏😏😀🇬🇧
Aye bro, I am thinking on getting a crossfire on my drone with a tango 2 and using o3 with goggles 2. Just in case I lose video on my goggles 2. Do you think it's better to have a crossfire ? Or just stick with o3 air unit and dji controller and goggles ??? It's going to be my first drone thankss :)
What are those black side bars on the side showing up randomly? Is the O3 camera loose? Or was it because of stabilization software? For the vibrations, check for loose screws, loose props, bent props, loose motor bells, vertical bell movement or PID maybe under tuned. O3 is sharp.
It's the frame. They are more pronounced when he switches to the view of the goggles but they're there as well when showing the recording from the O3 itself.
Yeah for the test there were two options, mount on the original mounts and be too far back that the frame is in view mostly in the googles view... or mount on the carbon frame with worse damping and with the camera far forward, sticking out with no protection. I went for the safer option. At least this video highlights one downside of this system, that the camera is an awkward size and won't fit or work well in some frames, but hey ho this will inspire the frame designers to make new designs. Looking forward to the developments.
I think the o3 system is great but frames need to be designed with it in mind just throwing it into normal frames and using it for recording has to many limitations with current frame design
Could you please make a tutorial, on how to set up betaflight with the tango 2, to be able to change settings in the O3 and start/stop the recording? Would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Thanks, no I havent had any issues where it heats up enough to melt anything, they do run hot but with a good airflow over the unit it stays cool in flight. Make sure low power mode is enabled until arming the motors. The camera itself does not get hot at all.
Yeah I think it only works with the FPV controller V2 (the one that came with the dji fpv drone and the avata) I'd get a TBS tango 2 if I didn't have a suitable controller.
@@andykirby just called support today and by the sound of it they are not allowing compatibility which is kind of dumb so from now on i am buying the least amount of dji gear possible. im selling my old controller now and buying a tx16s and a elrs receiver. Thanks for the quick response to confirm. also the only reason i didn't want the tango 2 is i just like the bigger size of the controller lol. And more people have the tx16 so i'm assuming there will be more help available on youtube.
I personally don't really see a huge upgrade from the caddx vista vs this new unit. BUT I would really like the recording on camera system and not at the goggles, that's a game breaker for me so its easily worth the extra cost (roughly $90 usd for me)
There is a huge difference, In many ways. But you need the OLED Goggle to see it FPV Wise. It's as much of an improvement as old analog was compared to the first DJI HD System.
Quick question if I use o3 air unit with googles 2 and controller 2 and lose video conection. Will the RC lose conection aswell? And what will the drone do ? :( I am thinking about getting a drone and going full dji lol but I don't know if I should get a crossfire in my drone and just using o3 with googles 2 just to be safe in case of losing conection

I’m installing it on my 5” aos v2
@@creationlabsinc.189 I’m installing on my 40mm Tinyhawk 3
I’m planning on building a 6s AOS 3.5 with a 03 Unit.
Great video Andy and always cool with your tunes rolling
My air unit was shipped yesterday Im excited man ty for video
On the goggles dji said after you adjust them the turn bits push into to lock your adjustments in place so you don't knock them in a bag.

Useful info thanks 👌🏼
@@andykirby Camera and unit MUST to be soft mounted. More so the camera
AU needs vibration dampening between frame & AU says the instructions I believe
12:45 have you locked the adjustments? Push the knobs in and rotate to lock them.
If you push the knobs in and twist they'll lock into place so little bumps don't ruin the adjustment
Ahah!
@@andykirby cheers! Happy flying
I assume you have the wtf.osd since the OSD shows the battery status as betaflight does. Did you need to do the root procedure again after updating?
Thnx in adv
file the two sides down on that cam mount if you keeping it like that.
the gyro is in the cam. just need to soft mount it.
I'm assuming it's recording the OSD overlay on the Goggle DVR??
But not the onboard DVR?
Can I pop round and try on your Walksnail Goggles to see if my old eyes will focus etc?...?...lol..😏😏😀🇬🇧
Since your using crossfire, how did you turn off the DJI control transmitter link?
Aye bro, I am thinking on getting a crossfire on my drone with a tango 2 and using o3 with goggles 2. Just in case I lose video on my goggles 2. Do you think it's better to have a crossfire ? Or just stick with o3 air unit and dji controller and goggles ??? It's going to be my first drone thankss :)
How bad is the vibration? Also no props in view from what i can see?
how do you record with the o3 air unit? i insert sd card to both DJI O3 air unit and DJI goggles 2, but the O3 air unit did not record anything.
Love that you have no props in view. What is this frame?
is the dji 03 air unit works with betaflight F3?

Looks like a really decent piece of kit the video footage was really good.
jello or vibrate??? on video dvr or record 4k

Thanks in advance!
I'll see what I can do!
Nice and simple! 👍
All i see is parts of the frame in the FOV, can't wait thé O3 frame
Is that on the river between Ware and Hertford ?
Too much jello in onboard recording I think. Is there any stabilization ?
Good video Andy, the video quality was good, the late day lighting was not the best for a demo though.
you got a link to that frame you used mate?
Hi nice build. Doest 03 heat up too much. Will it melt the TPU customs mounts?
Thanks, no I havent had any issues where it heats up enough to melt anything, they do run hot but with a good airflow over the unit it stays cool in flight. Make sure low power mode is enabled until arming the motors. The camera itself does not get hot at all.
@@andykirby Thanks buddy
Walksnail and HD Zero for the win..😉
I'll have to try my walksnail system again, been a while.
is there any way to bind the old dji fpv controller to the new 03 air unit or do i need to get a different controller and such
Yeah I think it only works with the FPV controller V2 (the one that came with the dji fpv drone and the avata) I'd get a TBS tango 2 if I didn't have a suitable controller.

What is the drone you put the o3 into?
iFlight IH2 👍🏻😁
Had that frame and it never flew good, many vibration and small isolations. I would suggest to change it for something newer in the market
love a good 3 inch hd fpv drone

@@JohnIn2SonAZ No it's not.
What flight controller do you recommend?
I would appreciate it, I ordered the unit and will be getting it soon

Hi, I dont think its essential but it does need a power supply to bind, so you might as well just connect it all up before trying to bind.
So Nice Wonderful
❤❤❤
thanks
Have you tried this new air unit on a rc plane?
Now that would be cool!
Same processes using a Vista or any other fpv camera.
Skipped soldering. I know, but I was expecting it.
Yes, mainly because this was fitted to a drone which already had a Caddx vista so the install didn't require soldering on the flight controller. All that was needed was to splice the wires.
Consumer series instead of fpv? Dji is stupid
File back the sides of frame so you cant see the carbon
Yeah that's an option 👍🏻
I think it's super cool but not like a GoPro footage
@Julio Cesar How are you watching the gopro live in your goggles while flying ?
Seeing the frame of the drone on the sides of the video is truly horrible.
It's OK for a test.
If it's not worth it you will not by flying FPV, why do people start from such a dumb perspective.
WOW your hobbies are amazing both amateur radio and fpv drone my call sign is E24PNG
Not worth the money the new house zero is way better by far
I completely disagree.
