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!

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

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!

By far the best DJI air 3 guide I have seen, others have lacked information or been to long. All though this tutorial is a little long in parts it is still very good. Thankyou!

[johnwilson]

Just got our air 3...have watched your guide numerous times. You have taken the time to break down ALL the components and explained what they are used for. Excellent job of explaining everything that makes the air 3 work. Kudo's to you!!!

Great video! I’m coming from a Phantom 4 and, previously, a Phantom 3 so I’m already experienced in flying DJI drones. But, I just got an Air 3 for my birthday today and your video is loaded with so much valuable info and clearly presented that I’m already feeling prepared to fly it! This was the perfect video to watch while my batteries are charging.

[bozmorley]

Clear, concise and a great introduction guide. Thank you!!!

[Voltuss]

Excellent video - best on youtube for this subject.

[VisualObserver]

I will fly air 3 hopefully Saturday for the first time also avata! Your videos are really helpful for a person like me who is a beginner. Thanks a lot for making such useful videos.

[NAPELAKAPU]

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

[HappySnappyChappy]

Very nice presentation. I enjoyed that and learned a lot. Thank you.
You have a nice, natural tone of voice and good pace of speech. Clear and concise narrative. I liked that, it makes it very watchable and all flowed well.

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

[Persephoneeeeeee]

This was so helpful. Thank you for all the effort you put into this video. I'm a little more confident now to start practicing.

[Baleur]

I'm getting this as my first drone ever next month.
Been wavering between getting the 3 battery package or just the base package.
But then i kind of thought, i really want to properly learn drone operating, and become good at it.
More batteries = more learning and training time per day. Because lets be real, after having travelled an hour or more to a nice spot, you're unlikely to go back home, recharge, then go back out. So i'm thinking about the batteries more as extra hours per day of potential training, not as convenience.

[jomo]

Great guide. Thanks for the time and effort you've put in.

[frankstone]

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.

[BlueDroneBlues]

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.

[denniseley]

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.

[cnyphotovideo]
