What precautions should be taken when installing and debugging the DJI O4 Air Unit Series?

I. Installation and Debugging Instructions:

1. The DJI O4 Air Unit Series standby time on the ground (with ground low power mode enabled): 3 minutes (ambient temperature 25° C). O4 Air Unit Pro standby time on the ground (low power mode enabled): Maintain thermal balance (ambient temperature 25° C).

2. When assembling the DJI O4 Air Unit Series, ensure that the image transmission RX is connected to the flight controller TX, and the image transmission TX is connected to the flight controller RX.

3. The DJI O4 Air Unit Series has two sets of temperature control strategies for the standby state and the flight state. It can apply different temperature control strategies according to the current state.

a. In the standby state, the protection system will be activated to automatically shut down the air unit when the temperature threshold is exceeded.

b. If the temperature threshold is exceeded during flight, an over-temperature warning will be displayed, and recording will stop. If the temperature continues to rise, the transmission bitrate will decrease, with a maximum of 50 Mbps.

II. Installation Suggestions:

1. The basic principle is to facilitate heat dissipation.

2. When routing the cables, please do not bend, twist, or bind the camera coaxial cable forcefully. Especially avoid folding the base of the coaxial cable at an angle greater than 90°, to prevent damage to the coaxial cable and issues such as screen flickering.

3. It is recommended to install the air unit in a position close to the propellers (distance between the air unit and the propellers within 10 mm), so that the downwash airflow can be effectively utilized. Try to avoid an installation position far from the propellers.

4. It is recommended to use a heat conductive material to connect the frame and the air unit. This will dissipate heat to the carbon plate and the other non-conductive metal components of the frame. Conducting heat will extend the operating time.

5. Do not install the air unit in an enclosed area.

6. After the air unit is powered on, its metal shell will become hot. Therefore, the air unit should not be installed in a position easily accessible or held by hand.

7. Please do not forcefully tighten the screws on the drone body to avoid stripping the threads.

What should I do if the video image shakes with RockSteady enabled?

Mechanical vibration at certain frequencies may cause abnormal EIS performance of DJI O4 Air Unit Series. The causes are as follows:

I. IMU Resonance

The usual ESC PWM control frequency is 24 kHz by default, and the camera IMU frequency is approximately 24-30 kHz. If there is no effective vibration absorbing measure, the motor vibration may be transmitted to the camera IMU, causing resonance because the frequencies coincide. The resonance will affect the IMU data accuracy and EIS performance of the video stabilization application.* As a result, the processed video image shakes, but the live view image is not affected. Usually, frames with TPU or vibration absorbing rubber are not prone to IMU resonance.

II. Propeller Vibration

If the rolling shutter effect appears in both the live view and the video image, it is usually because the propeller vibration (frequency is approximately a few hundred Hz) is transmitted to the camera through the aircraft frame.

Follow the steps below to troubleshoot and fix the image stabilization issue:

Rule out the IMU resonance issue.

1. Remove the propellers from the aircraft. Make sure that the camera is securely mounted and the aircraft is placed in a stationary position on the ground. Then, enable RockSteady and start recording.

2. Start the motors and slowly push the throttle to the full throttle position. Observe the live view in the goggles. If the live view is not shaking, stop the motors and stop recording. Otherwise, check the camera and make sure that it is securely mounted.

3. Export the recorded video and check it. If the video image shakes, the issue is most likely caused by the resonance between the frame and the camera IMU.

In this case, refer to the following solutions:

a. Change the ESC PWM control frequency to 48 kHz or 96 kHz and test again.

b. If the video image shakes after solution a is adopted, apply a softer vibration absorbing structure between the camera and the aircraft frame. Repeat the above testing procedures until the video image does not shake.

After ruling out the IMU resonance issue, check if the video image has the rolling shutter effect caused by propeller vibration.

1. Install the propellers back and make sure that the propellers are not damaged. Fly the aircraft and start recording with RockSteady enabled.

2. Check the video image after the flight. If the video image does not have a rolling effect, the debugging is completed.

3. If the video image has a rolling shutter effect, try the following solutions:

a. Adjust the vibration absorbing structure between the camera and the aircraft frame again.

b. Adjust the tightness of the screws that fasten the camera to the aircraft frame.

If the issue still exists after all of the above methods are completed, contact DJI Support.

* Due to the significant weight difference between the DJI O4 Air Unit and the DJI O4 Air Unit Pro, the DJI O4 Air Unit requires a softer vibration damping structure compared to the DJI O4 Air Unit Pro to achieve the same effect.
