Get information on the Air 3 drone's range and object tracking capabilities. See what pluses the new versions of the cameras have DJI RC-N2 i RC 2.

What are the main improvements of the DJI RC 2 control camera compared to the DJI RC camera?

Processor performance has been improved, resulting in smoother operation. The video transmission system and antenna system have also been upgraded (from 1T2R to 2T4R). Video streaming can also be used O4 (In conjunction with the DJI Air 3 drone). The DJI RC 2 has two built-in antennas and two external antennas, it also allows you to adjust the angle of the external antennas to achieve better transmission results video.

Which control cameras are compatible with DJI Air 3?

DJI Air 3 is compatible with DJI RC-N2 and DJI RC 2 control cameras.

What are the main improvements of the O4 video transmission system compared to the O3 system?

Video transmission system O4 uses a completely new hardware solution. The drone's antenna system has been expanded (from four to six antennas), and a new frequency response has been added.* The communication algorithm has also been improved - video transmission is now possible FHD within 10 km. The new system also provides greater resistance to interference, which translates into improved connection stability in complex environments, such as cities. In addition, the control unit supports live video transmission in resolutions as high as 1080p/60FPS, offering a smoother flight experience.

*It can only be used in countries and regions where it is permitted by local regulations.

**Measured outdoors, in the open, without interference and in compliance with the standard CE. The above figures show the farthest communication range for one-way flights without return. Always pay attention to notifications in the app when flying.

Whether the maximum transmission range of O4 can vary depending on the level of interference in the environment?

Depending on the environment, the level of interference may vary, and the maximum transmission range will vary.

Unobstructed environment:
Strong interference: urban landscape, ca. 1.5-4 km;
Medium interference: suburban landscape, approx. 4-10 km;
Weak interference: suburbs / coastal areas, 10-20 km;

An environment with obstacles:
Low interference and building obstructions: ok. 0-0.5 km;
Low interference and tree obstructions: ok. 0.5-3 km;

Tested in compliance with the standard FCC, in an environment with or without obstacles, with typical interference. The information provided is a reference only and does not guarantee actual transmission coverage.

What are the main improvements of the DJI RC-N2 control camera compared to the DJI RC-N1 camera?

The video transmission system and antenna system have been improved (from 1T2R to 2T2R). You can also use video streaming O4 (In conjunction with the DJI Air 3 drone).

Does the DJI Air 3 support omnidirectional obstacle detection?

With advanced sensors and system APAS 5.0 the drone automatically detects obstacles in all directions and smoothly avoids them.

How ActiveTrack 5.0 differs from ActiveTrack 4.0?

ActiveTrack 5.0 allows you to track objects in eight directions, creating more creative possibilities. It is equipped with advanced detection technology and uses multiple vision sensors simultaneously to recognize the target, distinguish it from other objects and keep it in the frame. It also lets you smoothly adjust tracking angles for more natural results. With new algorithms to detect surroundings and objects DJI Air 3 responds in advance to object movements and environmental information, and plans optimal tracking routes to record smooth, stable footage.
