DJI Air 3 drone is a mid-range drone that comes with a dual-lens camera and all-around obstacle sensors. It has a versatile wide-angle and telephoto cameras, fantastic obstacle avoidance sensors, and lengthy battery life. The drone is a smooth operator and captures sharp 4K footage with standard, flat, or HDR color profiles. It comes with only a few meaningful compromises compared to more expensive drones and offers big upgrades over the Mini 3 Pro.
Dual-Primary-Camera System
Air 3 boasts the first dual-primary camera system of the Air series, embedding a 1/1.3-inch-CMOS wide-angle camera and a 1/1.3-inch-CMOS 3x medium tele camera in a sleek and compact body. The two cameras have the same sensor size but different focal lengths, delivering consistent image quality and more dynamic imaging possibilities.
Complementary Camera Performance
With the wide-angle camera, sweeping landscapes can be more fully captured. And the 3x medium tele camera achieves lossless 3x optical zoom for spatial compression that provides a unique perspective of any subject.
Iconic from Every Angle
Use the expansive FOV of the wide-angle camera to capture more of any landscape. Switch to the 3x medium tele camera to frame any subject as a bold focal point.
Dual-Camera 48MP Photos
Both cameras are capable of delivering 48MP photos filled with true-to-life details that look great and allow seamless cropping in post for those who need it.
Dual-Camera 4K/60fps HDR Videos
Air 3’s two 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensors support dual native ISO for direct output of 4K/60fps HDR video without cropping. This means footage from either camera can be packed with rich coloring and natural lighting transitions for breathtaking and highly-accurate results. Both cameras also support 10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit HLG color modes. 10-bit D-Log M mode helps retain more highlight and shadow details for increased flexibility when editing. While 10-bit HLG mode can present a higher dynamic range, achieving excellent imaging results without color grading.
Extended Flight, Innovative Charging
Air 3 offers up to 46 minutes of flight time, an increase of 48% compared to the previous generation. This provides plenty of time to explore, adjust compositions, and get the shots you want, all during a single flight. The new battery charging hub supports an innovative power transfer function. Simply press and hold the function button to transfer the remaining power from multiple batteries to the battery with the highest remaining power, [6] giving you a more fully charged battery in situations where charging options are limited.
Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing
An omnidirectional sensing system enables comprehensive environmental awareness, allowing Air 3 to detect obstacles in all directions. When obstacles are detected, Air 3 can use APAS 5.0 to perform smoother avoidance movements for a safer overall flight experience. Even complete beginners can now fly with confidence and execute creative ideas with enhanced safety.
O4 Video Transmission
The next-gen O4 video transmission system empowers Air 3 with dramatically enhanced transmission performance. It provides a max range of 20 km [8] with increased stability, and a 1080p/60fps max-quality live feed to ensure ultra-smooth viewing and operating.
Advanced RTH
During Smart RTH, Air 3 will automatically plan an optimized flight route for Advanced RTH, while maintaining omnidirectional obstacle sensing to return to its home point quickly and safely.
FocusTrack
FocusTrack keeps you or your subject easily in the center of the frame. The 3x medium tele camera unlocks a unique sense of spatial compression when highlighting subjects. This updated tracking performance combined with omnidirectional obstacle sensing lets you get intelligent, well-planned shots whenever and wherever you need them.
QuickShots
QuickShots empower Air 3 with creative camera movement options like Rocket, Dronie, Circle, Helix, Boomerang, and Asteroid. [10]
2.7K Vertical Shooting
Air 3 supports 2.7K vertical shooting with both cameras, giving vertical footage a superbly dynamic look when capturing landscapes or subjects. The 2.7K vertical shot output directly from the 4:3 CMOS delivers clips that are optimized for smartphone viewing and ready to share on social media without any cropping needed in post.
MasterShots
MasterShots allows Air 3 to automatically perform diverse camera movements, shooting multiple clips and editing them with music, cuts, and effects for fast and simplified cinematic footage.
Hyper-Advanced Shooting Waypoint
For the first time ever, the Waypoint feature is now available on the Air series. Plan flight routes and shooting actions for Air 3 in advance to achieve difficult camera movements and stunning one-takes. You can also save flight routes to repeat the same movement with precision at a later time or date, opening the door to long-duration timelapse shots that capture transitions like day to night or season to season.
