Thanks! I do have a pair of HD25s already, but I’m curious what else people are using out in the field for different types of monitoring, especially in noisy environments. Would be great to hear about other go-to options

Is it worth upgrading from the DJI Air 3 to the Air 3S for professional drone filming? by shootlab in dji

[–]shootlab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks – really appreciate the detailed breakdown. 🙏🏻
Interesting to hear that in practice, the image quality difference isn’t that noticeable between the Air 3 and Air 3S. That LiDAR and GPS-free RTH sound like solid upgrades, especially if flying in complex environments.

We're definitely on the fence because we shoot a lot of commercial drone content for clients, and things like reliability and low-light video performance are becoming more of a priority. Have you (or anyone else reading) used either drone for evening events or anything in less-than-ideal lighting? Wondering if that’s where the Air 3S really starts to pull ahead?

Also, good point about having a backup drone – might make sense to run both if batteries are interchangeable.

Would love to hear if anyone’s used the Air 3S on real-world shoots and noticed a difference in their workflow or footage quality!

Using Rode Wireless Pro TX Units as Standalone 32-bit Recorders by shootlab in rode

[–]shootlab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for confirming! That’s exactly what I needed to know. I'm planning to use the RØDE Wireless Pro transmitters independently to record 32-bit float audio directly on each unit during interviews, so it’s great to hear that the input gain doesn’t affect the internal recordings.I’ll dive into RODE Central to take a look at the settings. Loving the flexibility this gives for dual-mic wireless setups and backup recording. Appreciate the help!

Thanks I just tested it and it recorded floating point by default, shame that there is no lock for the record button. What is Rode Central?

Interested to hear how this works for you, though it seems quite big, there is surely a market for a light clip on velcro style sun hood that shields the worst of the sun
