DJI 04 Air Unit Lite Update and Stabilization Issues

To sum up really quickly the difference between the  DJI 04 Air Unit (Lite), and the DJI 04 Air Unit Pro systems, the Lite is a little more than half the price of the Pro system at around $99 US versus $229 US so it does not have all the features or quality of the Pro, but the Lite version does offer a supper compact size perfect for smaller drones which is exactly what I am into.

I have 4 drones that had older DJI Vista Air Units in them, which allowed me the ability to use my DJI Goggles 2 Integras to view camera video in digital 720p which is leaps and bounds over what an analog VTX system looks like. The Vista system "cased" and "de-cased" fits in smaller FPV drones very well and overall I was happy with this setup. That is until DJI came out with the DJI 04 Air Units.

One of my biggest problems is that I had to keep my DJI Goggle 2 Integras in order to use my DJI Vista VTX and cameras. I was not able to use my newer DJI Goggle 3's, so I had to have two sets of rather expensive Goggles on hand to fly all my FPV drones. The logical solution was and is to swap out the Vista setup with the newer DJI 04 Air Units and get rid of my Goggles 2 Integras completely. The sale of my Goggles 2 Integras at around $350 along with the selling of my older DJI Vista Air Units will more than offset the price I pay for the newer DJI 04 Air Units, and I will get a significant upgrade in video quality in not only my Goggles but also the ability to record 4k 60 frame per second video on board the DJI 04 Air Units VTX.

There is one problem with all of this... The DJI 04 Air Unit Lite system has a bit of a flaw in that when you try and use stabilization to the record video, it actually makes the vide worse. I have a few ideas about this I talk about in this video and I am hoping that DJI will implement a firmware update soon and or that the addition of a proper camera mount that insulates the camera from the vibrations of the FPV drone will fix this problem...

What Was I Thinking - Dangers of AI Not What You Think

If you are a Terminator fan, then you may believe that someday AI may overtake humanity, and we all may find ourselves in a post apocalyptic war with AI robots. That may happen one day, but I think the biggest problem with AI, at least right now is that we just don't know what is real anymore and I am not as concerned that we are being fooled into believing an AI created video, but rather that we now disbelieve the actual truth right before us. This is very dangerous as even with actual proof in the from of a video, a person can now say it is AI and not real. What do you think is the most dangerous part of AI?

DJI NEO Flight Fort Langley December 1st 2024

I love bringing my little DJI Neo along with me when I am out and about going for a dog walk or some sort of other adventure. I can throw it along with my DJI Goggles and FPV RC Controller in a really small backpack and don't even notice it. I may or may not use it but I have the option to...

So today I took it for a quick flight during our Dog Walk as it was a really nice day and I had not flown in a bit. Fort Langley has it all, a beautiful river, mountain views and great walking trails! Enjoy the view from up above, it's even better :)

SLY-08 Electric Mountainboard Added to My PEV Collection

If you know anything about me by following me along in my videos, then you know I have a passion for PEV's (Personal Electric Vehicles). I have owned or tried pretty much all of the fun ones :) I currently own an eMountain Bike which my wife uses mainly, I have a pretty decent Electric Scooter we all use for short trips or to take on vacation to get around. My favorite PEV is my KingSong S22 EUC (Electric Unicycle). It is by far the fastest and longest distance ride that I own, and it can go on virtually any terrain with its large off-roads tire and spring suspension setup.

I have also owned a couple of Electric Longboards, I had a BackFire G3 with Cloud Wheels but sold it a while back, I had too many PEV's! I also bought an Uditer Electric Longboard when I was in Oceanside a few weeks ago and was going to bring it back with me but unfortunately it died on me from a battery issue :( I did have it for just enough time to remember how much fun Electric Skateboards are, and so when I saw an SLY-08 Electric Mountainboard come up at a good price on Facebook Marketplace, I had to have it. The SLY-08 Electric Mountainboard is a bit larger than my previous two Electric Skateboards but not by much, It mainly has taller tires and a wider truck setup better suited for off-road riding and trails.

I have only ridden my SLY-08 Electric Mountainboard this one time while I made this video so I don't have a lot to say about it. I mainly wanted to get out and try it and let everyone know I have it and it may be showing up on some future videos. I do plan to make a quick thoughts review for it once I have ridden it a bit more, so stay posted for that video in a couple weeks or so...
