Introducing the O3 Air Unit

DJI, a leader in civilian drone technology, recently announced the arrival of the O3 Air Unit, a compact and lightweight system tailored for FPV (First Person View) enthusiasts. This innovative camera and transmission module is designed to enhance aerial creativity by delivering reliable, high-resolution image transmission that empowers users to push boundaries in their flight experiences. With cutting-edge technology, the O3 Air Unit represents a significant step forward in drone capabilities.

Outstanding Video Transmission

The heart of any FPV system is its transmission quality, and DJI has equipped the O3 Air Unit with the advanced O3+ transmission system. With built-in 2T2R omnidirectional antennas, the unit is capable of offering crisp 1080p video at 100fps through H.265 encoding, optimizing bitrate performance up to 50 Mbps. Remarkably, users can stream video up to 10 kilometers away while maintaining latency as low as 30 ms. In environments where signal interference is likely, the O3 Air Unit intelligently switches to the best available frequency to sustain a robust connection, ensuring a smooth flight experience.

Exceptional Imaging Quality

With the O3 Air Unit, DJI enhances the user’s ability to capture breathtaking aerial footage. The camera module features a 1/1.7-inch sensor capable of recording up to 4K video at 60 frames per second, boasting a super-wide 155° field of view. Designed for professional results, the camera supports D-Cinelike color mode, giving creators flexibility in post-production with stunning color grading possibilities. Additionally, compatibility with DJI’s ND filter set guarantees optimal performance across varying lighting conditions, further amplifying the quality of recorded visuals.

Enhanced Compatibility and Customization

DJI recognizes the unique preferences of FPV pilots and has equipped the O3 Air Unit with customizable features tailored to improve the user experience. A Canvas mode allows pilots to adjust the on-screen display settings according to their tastes. The Air Unit is also compatible with the DJI Goggles 2, DJI FPV Goggles V2, and DJI FPV Remote Controller 2, providing users with multiple options for immersion and control during flights.

Getting the Most from the Experience with DJI Goggles 2

In addition to the O3 Air Unit, DJI launched its DJI Goggles 2, further enriching the FPV experience. This standalone version features the same O3+ transmission, providing users with a stunning 1080p display powered by Micro-OLED screens. Designed for comfort, the goggles incorporate soft, removable padding to reduce light leakage, along with adjustable diopters to accommodate users who wear corrective lenses. The DJI Goggles 2 enhance the overall flying experience when paired with the O3 Air Unit, allowing for immersive viewing with minimal latency.

Notable Features

• Ultra-low latency transmission, with delays shorter than 28 ms.
• Advanced algorithms to improve transmission fluidity and video smoothness.
• A 48-megapixel sensor ensures high-definition imagery quality.
• f/2.8 aperture grants exceptional depth of field.
• Offers 2.7K slow-motion video capture at 120fps for dynamic edits.
• Lightweight design facilitates seamless installation in various drones.
• RockSteady functionality for stabilized video footage.
• Open IMU data enhances post-editing and stabilization processes.
• Includes a 20GB built-in storage option within the transmission module.

Pricing and Availability

The DJI O3 Air Unit is now available for purchase at a retail price of USD $229 and includes the camera module, transmission module, antenna, and a 3-in-1 cable.
