DJI O3 - how does it look compared to VISTA?

New features of O3 hardware:
- Improved optics
- larger sensor
- ND Filters (same as Avata) available from Freewellgear (I will test them)
- much more processing power
- more range until "Hard-limit" (13.2km old Airunit, 23.4km O3 !) at least if I understood the russians right :)

Software:
- upgraded video codec / compression algorithm
less compression artifacts, more details
h264- to h265: double the image quality or half the bitrate needed!
- control cam settings in the air
- gyroflow compatible

Output power: probbably dynamic power, no manual setting tho
quite sure the max RF power is similar to prev Airunits (1200mw or even 1400mw)
Now RF power can be legally higher because it uses auto channel seleciton and monitoring (regulations thing). Maybe this idicates that even in CE region it uses more than 25mw legally? But hard to confirm!

Auto channel selection? It will help you by even switching channel in the air if someone plugs in his quad near you! Looks like it's a good idea to fly in auto mode to be on the save side.

FCC Hack: No NACO anymore :) but now it's called "ham_cfg_support" File: :) create a new, empty file called ham_cfg_support (without an extension!) and place it on the SD Card - this then into your GOGGLES! Set frequency selection to manual, 20mhz and you should get 7ch! (in CE Mode: 20MHz = 3 channels)

[DronePsyche]

Vista is better for flying but the O3 replaces the action cam.

[MrSmithFPV]

Schöner Vergleich. Mit der LowLight Performance wundert mich gar nicht.
Letztendlich steckt ja dort eine DJI Action 2 drin und diese ist ja auch nur eine Schönwetter Cam.

[DoNtRuNFrmME]

Why is the O3 so damn dark I don’t understand

[LiveToRideMTB]

Thanks for this video, not blown away by the 03 just yet.

[rctom]

Wieder mal ein schönes "experimental " Video. Hier in Schland ist keine einzige 03 in Stock. Dafür ist das Angebot an gebrauchten/neu verpackten Vistas breit und günstig. Die googles 2 sind im Gegensatz zu USA schweineteuer in DACH

[WKfpv]

First we went like...yeah it's better because I can fly through this snow and interference. Now we are like the texture in the asphalt is better in this one. Lol

[xjet]

Great vid Mario. Why is Austria black and white in winter... where does all the colour go? :-D

[theshazman]

Still running your custom antenna on my V1 goggles haha. Nice to see you still making videos. I'm still waiting on my Goggles 2 and new unit to ship. Won't be here til end of January.

[CarbonGlassMan]

I dont' like how much darker the o3 is. Maybe there are settings for the camera that can change that. I just bound an o3 to my V2 goggles in my house and the picture was grainy because it's so dark in my house, but then I rebound my Vista to my goggles and it wasn't nearly as grainy.

[KwaddawK]

The O3 footage in some parts I thought was in black and white setting to start with. The color looks terrible while the vista looks great. I would hope this can be corrected.
The camera cables are not the same on the O3 side I don't believe they are interchangeable. I think they could have a different amount of pins.

[changeagent]

Goggles 2 hurt face and are hard to center on eyes without edge blur, latency noticably higher even in 30ms mode, image much darker and makes low light difficult, annoying little stutters on live and recorded video, higher power drain and no 20x20 holes on AU.

[rfly-fpv]

Tradeoffs, that should be FPV hobby second name :P O3 is really dark but I saw on the other reviews that the picture in Google 2 on OLEDs is much more bright. To be very honest the Live feed from Vista is nicer to the eye than O3 ;) Only when you look into technical details and details in the frame in general (yeah, H.265!) O3 wins but just from the "first look" Vista looks better for pilot ;)

[EnglishTurbines]

Leaves on trees block the signal...so comparing the 03 in a snow scene isn't really fair...?...😮😳😏🇬🇧
I can see DJI selling a load of the new air units though for the built in stabilized video it brings. The dynamic range of the 03 units camera is terrible...😮😏🇬🇧

[itsfpv]

is the picture contrast on the O3 tuned for the OLEDs on Goggle 2?

[Don-lyls]

@7:39 looked like you were peeing on the wall there for second 😂😂

[KnowThings]

And again one of the most reality related videos in FPV. Thank you so much, your content is one of the most useful of all the channels out there! Looking forward to some antenna tests with the O3 🙂

[justinslaight]

I’m like you, I can’t see a reason to pay all that $$ for g2. The image of the 03 looks flawless in my v2 goggles.

[nitronut]

Now that there is new software that improved the lower light handling does it makes sense to revisit low latency Vista vs 120Hz O3 in goggle dvr?

[MichaelW]

The image from the O3 is too dark. Did you change any camera settings? Set fixed ISO or shutter speed maybe. It doesn't go like this when settings are "auto"

[kayemtan]

Is O3 really so much darker than Vista?
