DJI Air 3 Beginner's Guide - Get Ready For Your First Flight

Excellent video for beginners !

Looks pretty straight forward.

I just purchased Fly More with RC2 such a good value. I had to scrape every cent but I think those bundles are a hardcore psychological upsell, but I got sucked in :P

I’ve been flying drones since 2013 my advice is if you’re a beginner don’t spend a grand or more on a drone to learn how to fly with. You will just crash it and then you will be out all that money. Go purchase a cheaper drone like the mini 2 until you can get used to the controls and how everything works.

Thanks!

I took my craft out yesterday afternoon and took to it like a fish in water. Possibly the greatest purchase I have ever made. As an ultra-low budget filmmaker, the Air 3 allows me to pull off complex shots in way way less time than an expensive crane set-up would take. I'm in awe. I'm shooting in a Gym a week from now and I'm already excited at the possibilities my new drone presents. Thank you again for your clear and concise, no-nonsense approach to flying this bird. You are a great teacher and are a huge help for this newbie!

I have just bought an Air 3 and your tutorial is so helpful! It's my first.... right away I notice that I have - ZERO - connection to any satellites. How do I connect to satellites, I'm sure there is something simple I am missing.

Nice go9d

Confused about your use of the word gimbal to identify the connection points for the control sticks.

Air Photography -I'm considering buying my first drone, the DJI Air 3. Your video provided a lot of useful information. Thanks!

Handy video tho i do wish you went over the propeller instillation

thank you ,very helpful.

Does your flight made switch wiggle? Mine seems loose. Just got the drone today super excited.

Thnx

Thank you for this precious guide. I just bought a DJI Air 3 and made my first installations, chargings, updates, and calibrations. Then I realized that on the RC screen I had a sensor error. After that, I had doubts about flying and worried about hardware malfunctioning. Then I found your guide and became so relaxed. Thank you

It's a great video for beginners..
Thanks for all the information..
You made the gimble tilt down while it was returning to home but did describe how you did it, only that is missing..

Thinking of buying this as my first drone for some ideas I have.

Thanks for the comprehensive video.

Shawn have you tried down loading files from the air 3 sd card (via card reader) to your iPad photos. I noticed this is no longer possible with the air 3/Mavic 3 Pro due to the length of the files which DJI has made longer. What are your suggestions

I have a doubt about the Air 3. 4K/60fps HDR. Is this function automatic? Because on the mini 3 pro it clearly says HDR if you record in 24-30 fps. But with the Air 3 no such visible option is available. I just got my Air 3 yesterday. So does it record HDR automatic? Or do I need to change anything?

I loved some of the descriptions. like. The bag comes in the box.. noway? and you charge it by plugging it in... noway!?!

I am planning to buy a drone. After seeing your video I am feeling like I’m already a good pilot 😅

Did the drone ask you for activation key??? I am not able to find where the activation key should be

I can't get my email to work I just bought one of these and my email I setup just keeps loading

Hi Shawn, I am looking to get a good camera drone. I am a seasoned FPV pilot and watched your video on the DJI FPV drone, but does it have a good enough camera or is the DJI Air 3 better? I prefer to fly FPV but what would you recommend for a camera drone for me?
I very much trust your opinion, your videos are top notch & very informative!

Top ❤❤❤❤❤

I got that plug you have in your hands 11 minutes in and I have to say it is a nicely made one. It came with my DJI Mavic 3 Classic.

Great video on the DJI AIR 3 ,very well done!

Awesome guide! Well done!

Really thorough walk through, thank you!

Hi I need step by step how to set up tracking with DJI air 3 please

Thank you for this great introduction to the Air 3. Your attention to detail and slowly maneuvering of the menu is especially appreciated. I have subscribed and will be looking forward to your next tutorial. I will hopefully have my new Air 3 by that time.

thank you so much it was very helpful

I would love to get me one of these drones for beginners who would be able to fly on Friday night and I'm so thankful for the drones watching us in our house 😢

I guess you get a discount...the base model that's $1029 for you, has been $1100 on DJI website for me since it launched....

Thank you for the awesome tutorial. You are a really good teach. This channel is one of the best I watched and I have watched about 5 other drone channels.

Fantastic video, thank you. My Air 3 arrives tomorrow. This video is very helpful!!

Excellent tutorial, Sean!!

make a video on how to get screen recording off the Smart Controller. The only way I was able to do it was plug the SC into my computer and it shows up as DJI RC2. Then open internal shared storage > movies.... the files are in there. Also, the waypoints do not work like they did on the Mavic 3, you now can only enter waypoints while you are in flight and you have to press the C1 button. With the Mavic 3 you could plan a waypoint flight without being connected to the drone.

Many thanks for this video it really helped me with my new air 3

Sean, that was brilliant mate thank you very much. KEV.

Great video. Always enjoyed your comprehensive tutorials. Very well done for beginners as well as experienced pilots. Keep them coming. Aloha!

Great beginner’s guide Shawn, even I learned a few tricks. Thanks for sharing.

Did someone tell me that AIR3 drones are suitable for beginners?

I'm new to your channel, though this isn't the first of your videos I watch. I really love your presentation "style". You have a clear voice and speak calmly with a natural flow - super easy to understand everything. You also have a clear and logical order in which you present the details while helping us (viewers) to keep our orientation with all the subtle hints about what and when the next topic will be ("...which I'll show you in a minute/up next"). My new favorite channel!

Question, are you charging it off of a computer or are you plugging it in to the wall? Over 2 hours still charging 1 battery just received my air3 today don’t know what’s going on never had issues with none of my other DJI drones and I’m using their charging hub thank you

What’s the background noise …… is it the fan on the controller or the drone or both ?

Great Video Sean! I don't have the Drone yet but gonna get it and this is Very helpful to know every tiny detail so people have a Good experience setting everything up!

Great video. This drone seems more advanced/powerful than my DJI Mini Pro 3. I still need to gain more confidence flying the drone watching the controller instead of drone. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Thank you Shawn for sharing …….. you always do a great job and very thorough…….Do you think the RCN-2 will give you the same range/penetration as the RC-2 ……I have the RC PRO and don’t mind using my IPhone until DJI makes the RC-PRO compatible with the Air 3 ……well I’m hoping this will happen. What do you think?

👍👍
