New O3 Air Unit brings DJI technology to FPV racing drones

[12:16 Wed,23.November 2022 by Thomas Richter]

DJI has introduced the O3 Air Unit, which combines the O3+ 1080p/100fps live video transmission system known from the Mavic 3 with a 1/1.7" camera. DJI&s O3 Air Unit is intended for racing drones that are equipped with it to become FPV drones. In combination with DJI&s Googles 2, they enable pilots to fly immersively from a first-person perspective with high image quality from a great distance - almost as if they were on board themselves.

DJI O3 Air Unit: camera, video transmission system and antenna

.
The DJI O3 Air Unit is a compact, lightweight FPV camera and transmission module system that consists of a camera, the transmission module, and an omnidirectional antenna with 2 transmitters and 2 receivers. The camera features a 1/1.7" sensor with super-wide 155° lens, which can simultaneously record up to 4K/60fps video on the 20GB internal memory or SD card and transmit a 1080p/100fps live feed compressed in H.265 with a maximum bit rate of 50 Mbps. The live feed can be transmitted from a distance of up to 10 km with a latency of only 30 ms. The camera module of the DJI O3 aerial unit can be used with the DJI Avata ND filter set (ND8/16/32) and is capable of D-Cinelike color mode.

When the O3 Air Unit detects a crowded signal environment, it automatically selects the best signal frequency band and uses anti-interference technologies to maintain a strong connection to the control unit. Canvas mode allows for customization of the screen display, ensuring pilots see the OSD display that is right for them. The Air Unit is compatible with the DJI Goggles 2, DJI FPV Goggles V2 and DJI FPV Remote Controller 2, providing even more display and control options.

After making its debut in the DJI Avata Pro-View Combo, the DJI Goggles 2 is now available as a standalone version. The Goggles 2 offer full HD resolution per monitor with significantly reduced weight compared to the previous DJI FPV Goggles, weighing just 290g including the headband (the DJI FPV Goggles were still 420g). The basis of the signal transmission between the drone and the Goggles 2 is the DJI OS3+ transmission system, which is not latency-free, but sufficiently fast with a delay of 30ms.
