00:00:00 - The 04 air unit is here!
00:01:13 - The 04 Pro vs. the O4 ("lite"?)
00:02:27 - 1/2" and 1/1.3" sensor on camera
00:02:53 - Image stabilization and gyroflow support
00:03:06 - 4k @ 120 fps on-board recording. 1080p @ 100 fps transmitted to the goggles.
00:03:39 - Racing Mode gives lower, but not fixed, latency
00:05:15 - No way to verify DJI's latency claims in flight
00:06:05 - The "lite" 04 is under 11 grams!
00:07:55 - Identical wiring and configuration to 03
00:08:23 - 04 now has dual antennas
00:09:11 - Non-standard camera mounting is enraging
00:10:37 - Transmit power is manually adjustable up to 1200 mW
00:11:12 - Bandwidth up to 60 Mbps / 60 MHz
00:11:44 - Resolution 4k, 2.7k, 1080p. Framerate 120, 100, 60 fps.
00:13:13 - Annoyed that you can't do 4:3 in 2.7k and 4k
00:14:15 - Test flight vs. O3
00:19:35 - Changing to D-Log color profile
00:20:22 - How to wire up and configure Betalfight

00:21:54 - Racing Mode
00:22:35 - Racing Mode Test Flight at 1200 mW
00:23:14 - Racing Mode Test Flight at 25 mW
00:24:25 - Is Racing Mode output power fixed?

00:27:05 - Fully compatible with N3 goggles
00:29:33 - O3 and Integra don't support 60 Mbps or Racing Modes
00:30:00 - Improved temp protection compared to O3
00:30:15 - DJI is the best at incremental improvement
00:30:42 - Camera form factor sucks
00:31:41 - How to coordinate frequencies with other pilots

DJI and analog CAN fly together. Stop FPV interference!

00:32:39 - Range and penetration are solidly improved, but not game-changing
00:33:23 - Are you going to buy one?

We never made it that far up the road in the Analog days. What a time to be alive!

[alexchulzhanov]

I think the different mounting screws was just due to the physical constraints with the larger sensor and not to spite everyone. Is it slightly annoying, sure, but a 1/1.3” sensor in that small of a package is pretty incredible.

[MiratzFPV]

Woohoo... the real review. I chose to skim the rumor videos waited for JB to do it proper. :) Looking forward to Lite review (it will be Lite forever) .

[UAVfutures]

Great video. The real question with the race mode option is not "is it better than analog" its "is it better than HD zero"

[fpvmaniac]

can you try to swap cameras between the "lite" and the pro version?

[shermangomez]

Yup the lite on a micro drone is super exciting!

[TheConstitutionState]

Will it fit in the bardwell drone? I got the kit and was actually about to get the 03, but why do that when the 04 is out? But would it fit?

[FlyTimeRC]

I've got a couple o3 air units. So far I've been super happy. Latency even at 2.5 miles away has been so little I haven't noticed it at all flying. I'm really excited about the o4!

[ryanstotsky]

Need some low light footage. Around dusk and street lights.

[vehicularMCS]

News Daddy bring us the news! We need it!

[slime]

Thanks, Bardwell! You nailed everything I was interested in for the pro unit. Looking forward to your lite review too when it comes out

[demon_cuspis]

Great review!
Long awaited product!

And this video is better quality, much less glare!
Good luck!

[IDrone-lm]

Good review, Josh. You sure did put a lot of hard work in this review.

[nullfield]

Comment for the algorithm because I like these videos~

[krystil_king_fpv]

hey you got lista cabinets in the back, those are some nice cabinets ! Thanks for video as always BARDWELL !!!!

[Dorff_Meister]

Thanks Joshua! Good stuff. I look forward to flying O4 some time this year!

[MCsCreations]

Ok... NOW I'm impressed. And interested!!!
Thanks for the review, Joshua! 😃
Looking forward to the tests with the light version!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Can the 14mm cam be attached to the pro? Would be nice to have a modernized version of the nebula pro nano

[Kyokushin]

Does new .700 firmware (O4) for Goggles 3 works with HAM file?

How did you get the goggles Screen Mirrored to your Monitor? @13:56
