Love the review. That was a great stream last night. Thanks for the shout out. Keep the videos coming.

[robinsmith]

I agree, thanks for the update shoutout, lower pricing concept is fantastic, I only hope it arrives!

[NoviceQuads]

Great video as always, thanks for coming on the live stream.

I think you’re right about this line being developed for the Amazon space. It is the only place you can purchase right now, correct? It will be interesting as time goes by if we will see Cogito develop support and their website. At any rate, I’m enjoying your content on this drone Jack!

After your hints the new SE is SPECTA. Instead of discontinue older drones they sold the license to go on. It’s a win/win situation because owners will still get batteries. DJI is not in need to care anymore but there’s still an income. Nothing chances, drone-owners are still suggesting to go with DJI if you intend to buy a product of quality.

[sUASNews]

I think you are spot on about the small one.

[FlyZoneFpv]

Wow Jack that’s crazy how much it’s just like Air 3 . I think DJI is using others to sell their drones cause of ban . Thats what come to my mind . Interesting jack thanks

[DarrenAllatt]

It seems to me like this is DJI’s “surplus” brand where once they want to run out a product then it’s going to be sold under the Specta brand without affecting their main product line.

Most people know that Autel is most famous for its vehicle scanners. A while back a sub company under the name "Otofix" that uses the same familiar Autel scanner software started up. I can't say if the hardware is the same. I suspect this is something Chinese companies are doing to sell some products at lower prices. I hadn't thought of the tariff angle but that may be at play too. I think your take on this is sound Jack.

The only thing that makes me nervous about buying this drone is that I can’t buy the Care Refresh on it. It’s still a lot of money for this drone and having the insurance gives me a little more confidence when flying it.

[BillTheDroneReviewer]

Well done Jack. Love your analysis - I think it's spot on !

[personaldronerepair]

I wonder if specta will provide repair parts as well as a gimbal that is not serialized.

[jeffrey_live]

I think you hit it square on with DJI probably has a few of these lying around.
Probably like many, when I upgraded from my Air2S the Air3 wasn't appealing enough. I bought the Mini 4 Pro which other than the double camera and higher top speed is everything the Air3 is except quieter and more portable. Honestly I'm hoping for an Air3S with a killer camera that I will buy when it comes.

[DannyFyffe]

So it must be a clone of the Mini 2 if you think it will be 300 or less. If it was the Mini 3, it would have to be 400-500 since it still gets close to 700. I hope you do more on the specta air 3. ;-)

[JasonStPierre]

My take.
This will be a American based company soon, as DJI knows it's going to be ousted from
US skies. Think like a TicTok with American holdings and location.

[alacazaba]

Firmware in craft and controller is the same as dji, most of file names, even programming notes are largely identical to those found in DJI craft and controller firmware. Bans, tariffs, and a way to get around WTO rules on dumping, state financing, etc.

[paullthomas]

Excellent video and Fantastic Information...Wow! Thanks
Happy Flying!

[MontanaMedic]

I have a feeling these are going to be in extremely high demand very soon.

[troyschultzrc]

Great review, Can't wait for that release of a posable mini4 spectra. If it saves me money I'm in!!!! Thanks

[thedronedownunder]

Cool review. I think we all know why DJI have done this. And good on them.
