“The DJI Air 3S takes our Air Series to new heights by offering professional features like dual primary cameras and omnidirectional obstacle sensing while retaining its light weight of just 724g for boundless freedom and flexibility,” said Ferdinand Wolf, Product Experience Director at DJI. “The Air 3S is the perfect all-rounder for travel photography – capturing all your special moments during vacation while also providing safety and security if operating at night.”

DJI Air 3S Enhanced Dual-Camera – Take Unmatched Imagery 

The DJI Air 3S dual cameras improve on the 10-bit and ISO image quality, capturing videos and photos with even more breathtaking details than the current DJI Mavic 3 Pro. 

Even in normal colour mode, DJI Air 3S dual cameras can record 10-bit video using H.265 encoding, delivering refined colour performance and greater flexibility in post, with the maximum ISO raised to 12,800. 

In D-Log M and HLG colour modes, the maximum ISO is raised to 3,200, allowing for greater brightness and more details in urban night scenes. 

Compared with previous generation DJI Air 3, the Air 3S employs a more advanced video encoding compression algorithm that reduces video file sizes by over 30% without compromising image quality, saving valuable storage space for creators.

Free panorama mode in both cameras enables the seamless creation of panoramic shots by stitching together multiple images with a manually selected subject or area. The wide-angle camera offers a broader field of view (FOV), greatly improving efficiency when capturing panorama photos. 

The medium tele camera significantly reduces image distortion, crafting expensive shots with a wide perspective from multiple photos and rich details captured by its superior focal length. Both cameras are capable of shooting video with a maximum dynamic range of 14 stops, capturing cinematic footage in high-contrast scenes.

DJI Air 3S Dual Cameras 

• Primary 50MP, 1-inch-CMOS camera and 24mm lens supports 4K/60fps HDR and 4K/120fps video recording as well as 10-bit D-Log M colour mode. This large sensor, enhanced by advanced image-processing technology and intelligent algorithms, preserves even minuscule details in low-light conditions such as sunsets and night-scapes. 

• Secondary 70mm medium tele camera with a 3x optical zoom excels at portrait and vehicle shots, offering compressed depth of field to highlight any subject with a bolder, more cinematic look. With its 48MP 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor, this camera supports the same video specs and colour modes as the primary camera. This ensures visually consistent footage for streamlined post-processing.

Expand Creativity with Safer Night Time Flying

The DJI Air 3S is the first DJI drone to feature forward-facing LIDAR, offering unrivalled environmental awareness,, featuring downward infrared time-of-flight (TOF) sensors and six vision sensors (two at the front, rear and bottom), to achieve night-scape omni-directional obstacle sensing. This advanced technology enables the Air 3S to automatically identify and circumvent obstacles during its flight and return paths, ensuring trouble-free safety during nighttime photography. 

Designed to be the perfect easy-to-use all-rounder drone, the DJI Air 3S is powered by real-time vision positioning and map construction technologies, memorising flight paths when adequate lighting is available. This ensures a safe return when taking off from locations without a satellite signal.

Stay in Focus with ActiveTrack 360°

The DJI Air 3S features ActiveTrack 360° to keep any subject in the frame. Based on the surrounding flight environment, the optimised tracking performance automatically plans a flight path. It adjusts the framing to guarantee more dynamic shots that keep the subject the center of attention even if the lower half of their body is partially obscured such as standing behind bushes or on a bridge.

Air 3S also introduces a new Subject Focusing feature that keeps the subject in sharp focus, even during manual flight or when the subject moves off-center. This feature allows the pilot to fully concentrate on the more creative aspects of perfecting a shot like composition and camera movement.

DJI Air 3S Other Standout Features

• 45-Min Max Flight Time: With up to 45 minutes of flight time, the Air 3S offers adequate time to scout locations, compose, capture cinematic shots, and repeat.
• 10-bit O4 Video Transmission: Powered by DJI O4 HD video transmission technology, the Air 3S delivers 10-bit video transmission at 1080p/60fps over distances of up to 20 kilometres.
