Rather, my trials and tribulations were the result of early firmware and my own inexperience with wiring and with hobbyist remote-controlled (RC) drones.įirst off, I needed to power the device. Getting the O3 Air Unit up and running was a journey, though none of my difficulties were the fault of the device itself. The compact, high-performance nature of the device is such that it needs every bit of airflow it can get for cooling. The construction of the DJI O3 Air Unit is extremely robust and high-quality, though it isn’t waterproof. The core unit of the device features a connector designed to be plugged into a compatible flight controller, as well as USB-C and microSD card ports, plus a pairing button. It features a camera, an antennae, and a transmission unit - and these three components are connected via cables. The O3 Air unit is a very simple, bare-bones system. DJI O3 Air Unit design Andy Zahn / Digital Trends It required a lot of trial, error, and general troubleshooting - all in search of the answer as to whether or not the O3 Air unit is something reserved for the dedicated hobbyist, or if more casual drone and RC enthusiasts might do well to consider taking advantage of the exciting possibilities it represents. Testing the O3 Air Unit was quite an eye-opening experience into the challenging, yet highly rewarding world of building and operating FPV drones and other RC devices. ![]() ![]() The goggles micro-SD card can only record at the goggle resolution - 810p (not sure if only 60p or up to 120p) Most FPV pilots use both, in case the quad is lost, at least they still have footage from the goggles, and it might help find the quad.DJI Mavic 3 hands-on review: The long-awaited return of the king Regarding camera footage - The quad micro-SD quad records at whatever quality you set the quad to (up to 4K60p). A 3rd party manufacturer makes a USB-C (true USB-C PD) -> Barrel cable for the goggles, so you can use a real USB-C PD battery pack with them: NewBeeDrone USB-C -> barrel Cable for DJI Goggles (V1 & V2) DJI should not have used the USB-C connector. In fact, the battery will not even turn on until you insert the special, supplied DJI cable. You cannot use the cable or the battery with any other USB-C battery pack or USB-C cable. ![]() The battery pack simply puts out the voltage of the 2 x LiPos inside it - no negotiation, etc. The battery pack & cable use the physical USB-C connector, but nether follow any USB power level or protocol. Consumers won't be doing this.Īnd the consumable are VERY expensive compared to normal non-DJI FPV quads: DJI propellors (you will go thru propellors)=$16(set) - FPV Propellors=$3-$4(set), DJI battery=$160 - FPV battery (same capacity)=$50(less on sale - generally DJI is never on sale)įorm the article, " There is no battery in the goggles themselves, and instead are powered off a small USB-C battery pack." To remove an arm or the camera/gimbal assembly (two most likely parts to be broken on the body, during a crash), you have to disassembly more than half the quad. They also provide a different color "cover" for the body, with the quad, but have not stated it would be available for purchase separately.Īn FPV RC repair shop that is a certified DJI repair center did a complete teardown of the DJI FPV quad. ![]() Usually the gimbal covers are available, in case they are lost. DJI has never (and stated they would not for this FPV quad) provided consumer parts for anything except batteries & propellers (consumables). The only user-swappable parts are the propellors, batteries and camera/gimbal protector. Nearly all pieces can be easily ordered and swapped out should the very real probability of an accident occur." From the article, " It is small and compact with a very modular design.
