personally I think unless there's a massive difference in price. I feel most people still lean towards the DJI because of its reputation and support ....

[Bobster]

I think that they are identical drones made by DJI under a new name just in case they are band from being sold in the US. That’s what I honestly think. 🤨

[jgalbreath]

I think DJI knows they would lose some pilots if the Specta didn't have geo fencing. That option would make me cross over the dark side! 😅

[yoshy]

I stick with DJI. They have a name and care refresh.
If there was a big price difference, maybe, otherwise I choose "better safe than sorry"

[Videography]

I noticed that drone A has some glitches in the Footage. While dji drone B is smooth as butter.

[FlyinFlynnMedia]

Great comparison Jack. It sure looks like they are essentially the same drone. It will be interesting what kind of support is available with Specta. Appreciate you putting this together!

[BillTheDroneReviewer]

Well done Jack ! I'm very impressed with the Specta Air. Two areas of concern for me are pricing (under 1K would really help) and support options.

[lonniesfilmmaking]

Cheers so much for all your hard work and I like the Specta's camera best it looks like more dynamic range out of the box 😊❤

[IdahoQuadcopter]

Keep up this great work Jack! It sure appears that they are twins. You mentioned that you were geofenced with the Specta. Is there a procedure for unlocking and flight approval from Cotigo?

Rumor is it's updating via the DJI CDN. The details of the manufacturing and branding may be opaque but the probability is extremely high that it's essentially the same device. You can be sure that DJI would come down like a ton of bricks on anyone randomly selling a clone of the drone, the controller, the app, and even the manual! So, there's a purpose involved, and so-called "white label" devices are not an uncommon marketing strategy in many industries. Since this version apparently doesn't offer the DJI extended support options, it may be aimed primarily at other market segments. I tend to doubt that it's a serious attempt to avoid (theoretical) consumer U.S. bans. The probability of a broad consumer-level ban of these drones being passed and surviving court challenges is very low, and it wouldn't fool regulators anyway.

I really appreciate the comparison shots and videos. Thank you for your valuable time to put this together. Unlike the other commentor, I don't care about the insides being the same if the controls work as well or better, and the media is equivalent quality or better . Why would I care about the insides? But looking at the output on these comparison shoots on a T.V. flat screen, I don't think it's bias to say the DJI looks sharper (more accurate). The smaller twigs on the trees were more distinguishable on DJI, but appear as gray mass (blur) on Specta... IMHO.

This reminds me of the comparison between Lexus and Toyota. Same car, different logo

[underthedrone]

DJI Air 3 in this same config: $1399. Specta: $1, 199. I'd opt for the DJI but that's just me. This is fun to see this comparo through. It's disappointing the batteries are not interchangeable though.

[JosephDawson]

Can you swap battaris and can you bind a DJI radio to the Specta

[jhayjay-x]

Is there something about the DJI Air3 that a company would actually clone it to get a pie share or to make the DJI a one to own. Or the DJI Air3 is that popular a drone

[TheMamonti]

What is the chance DJI is making this drone?? I wonder if they feel the US banned is coming and this may be their way around it?
Up until now nothing has been close to the DJI stability and performance so it has me thinking....

[droneshots]

Do you think you can update the Specta...with a dji firmware...it might work...

[harveymphotography]

Hi, what was the cost difference between them?

[DroneCAM]

Do the batteries from the specta fit into the DJI Air 3? Just curious

[g.donuts]

Initially couldn’t tell, but eventually DJI, as usual to my eye and preference, seems over contrasted(blues & greens over done), which in turn also darkens the image.
