DJI Introduces The O3 Air Unit To Empower FPV To Truly Go The Distance
The O3 Air Unit Brings Incredibly Reliable, Low-Latency, High-Resolution Image Transmission in a Compact Size to Unleash Boundless Aerial Creativity
November 22, 2022 – DJI, the world’s leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today introduces the O3 Air Unit, a compact, lightweight FPV camera and transmission module system that delivers an incredibly robust and reliable image to empower users to reach new heights of their immersive flight. A 1/1.7-inch sensor delivers up to 4K/60fps video with a 155° super-wide FOV, all while delivering a 1080p/100fps live feed from up to 10 km away with latency as low as 30 ms. With these features and more, the DJI O3 Air Unit is the perfect addition to a high-performance FPV experience.
Flagship Video Transmission
The backbone of any FPV system is transmission, which is why the O3 Air Unit comes with DJI’s premier O3+ system. 2T2R omnidirectional antennas built into the air unit deliver 1080p/100fps
H.265 Video Transmission at a max bitrate of 50 Mbps. [[1]] To help ease users during flight, video transmission covers up to 10 km while providing latency as low as 30 ms. [[2]] When it senses a crowded signal environment, the O3 Air Unit automatically selects the best signal frequency and uses anti-interference technologies to keep a strong connection to its pilot.
