Product Information

Chase the View.
A dual-camera drone designed for travel photography, DJI Air 3S integrates a suite of advanced technologies. Featuring a 1-inch-CMOS primary camera and a 70mm medium tele camera, each with up to 14 stops of dynamic range, Air 3S captures landscapes, portraits, and more in stunning detail. Both cameras support the new Free panorama feature, which allows flexible shooting-range selections. Additional new highlights include nightscape obstacle sensing and next-gen Smart RTH for enhanced safety during nighttime photography. In each and every way, DJI Air 3S is designed to maximize every aerial moment. 

 

Features

Free Panorama
Both the primary camera and medium tele camera of DJI Air 3S offer Free panorama mode, letting you create seamless panoramic shots by stitching together multiple images with a manually selected subject or area. The wide-angle camera offers a broader FOV, boosting efficiency when capturing panorama photos. The medium tele camera significantly reduces image distortion, crafting your masterpieces into expansive shots with a wide perspective from multiple photos and rich details captured through its focal length advantages.


DJI Air 3S also supports user-favorite features like 2.7K vertical shooting, MasterShots, QuickShots, Hyperlapse, and more, putting a massive creative toolkit together in one compact drone.

 

Safer Nighttime Flying for Expanded Creativity
Omnidirectional Vision Sensing System
DJI Air 3S supports the Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems (APAS). Additionally, as the first DJI drone to feature forward-facing LiDAR, Air 3S also features downward infrared time-of-flight (ToF) sensors and six vision sensors (two at the front, rear, and bottom) to achieve nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing. [2] This feature enables the drone to automatically identify and circumvent obstacles, such as buildings, during its flight and return paths, ensuring robust safety for nighttime photography.

 

Nightscape Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing - Next-Gen Smart RTH 
- Non-GPS RTH
Powered by real-time vision positioning and map construction technologies, DJI Air 3S memorizes flight paths when adequate lighting is available. This ensures a safe return even when taking off from locations without satellite signals, such as balconies. 

- Nighttime RTH
With forward-facing LiDAR, DJI Air 3S can detect obstacles such as high-rise buildings and navigate upwards around them, even in low-light conditions, ensuring safer returns at night.

 

Enhanced Vision Assist
DJI Air 3S's Vision Assist provides a downward view in addition to the front, back, left, and right views to help you better understand your surroundings. DJI Air 3S also provides Waypoint Flight and Cruise Control, among other advanced features, which allow you to pre-set flight paths and camera actions and quickly lock control stick inputs to unleash creativity.

 

ActiveTrack 360° for Effortless Visual Appeal

A New Air Aesthetic
DJI Air 3S features ActiveTrack 360° to keep any subject optimally in frame. Based on the surrounding flight environment, it automatically plans a flight path and adjusts framing to ensure stronger shots that keep your subject the center of attention.

- ActiveTrack 360°
ActiveTrack 360° allows Air 3S to automatically avoid perspectives with cluttered backgrounds


- Optimized Tracking Performance
Once tracking begins, DJI Air 3S can keep the subject in focus even if the lower half of their body is partially obscured by bushes or if they are standing on a bridge. 

 

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

 

Extended Flight & Transmission Distance

Serious Air Time: 45-Min Max 
With up to 45 minutes of flight time, Air 3S gives you enough time to scout locations, compose, nail your shots, and do it all over again and again. 

 

10-bit O4 Video Transmission
Powered by DJI O4 FHD video transmission technology, Air 3S delivers 10-bit video transmission at 1080p/60fps over distances of up to 20 kilometers. Live feeds are reliably smooth and vivid, with ultra-responsive control for an improved overall flight experience.

 


Attention to Every Detail

Always Ready: 42GB of Built-in Storage
DJI Air 3S comes standard with 42GB of built-in storage. This allows you to start recording right away and avoid having to deal with microSD cards.

 

Off-State QuickTransfer
You can now send files from your Air 3S to a smartphone even when the drone is powered off. Transfers to a computer can also be done with the drone powered off—simply connect Air 3S via a compatible USB cable.

 

Dual Cameras, Unmatched Imagery
DJI Air 3S features a dual-camera system consisting of a 1-inch-CMOS primary camera and a 1/1.3-inch-CMOS medium tele camera. The primary camera features a larger CMOS sensor and a 24mm lens, making it ideal for capturing expansive landscapes with enhanced clarity and a wide field of view. The 70mm medium tele camera excels at portrait and vehicle shots, offering compressed depth of field to highlight any subject with a bolder, more cinematic look.

 

1″ CMOS Primary Camera: Breathtaking Detail for Travel Photography
The primary camera of DJI Air 3S integrates a 50MP 1-inch CMOS sensor, supporting 4K/60fps HDR and 4K/120fps video recording as well as 10-bit D-Log M color mode. This large sensor, enhanced by advanced image-processing technology and intelligent algorithms, preserves even minute details in low-light conditions such as sunsets and nightscapes, delivering shots that are simply, effortlessly breathtaking.

 

Enhanced Imagery, Stunning Scenery
- 4K/60fps HDR Video
The latest HDR video mode offers up to 14 stops of dynamic range, capturing cinematic footage in high-contrast scenes, such as detailed views of cloud textures and other elements during sunrise and sunset.


- 4K/120fps Video
Enhanced resolution and frame rates add a vibrant perspective of cultural or sporting events, and open up exciting creative possibilities during post-processing.


- 10-bit D-Log M & HLG Video
Even in normal color mode, Air 3S can record 10-bit video using H.265 encoding, delivering refined color performance and greater flexibility in post, with the maximum ISO raised to 12,800. In D-Log M and HLG color modes, the maximum ISO is raised to 3,200, allowing for greater brightness and more details in urban night scenes.

 

Medium Tele Camera: Unforgettable Portraits
The medium tele camera, with its 48MP 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor, supports the same video specs and color modes as the primary camera. This ensures visually consistent footage for streamlined post-processing. Its 70mm lens offers 3x optical zoom, allowing you to capture unique shots from a distance while highlighting your subject. And when you use Air 3S to orbit around a subject and record a 4K video, you can easily take detailed and expressive close-up portraits.

 

Focus on Details, Maximize Focal Power
- 4K/60fps HDR Video
When capturing close-ups of vehicles against the sunset, the medium tele camera offers up to 14 stops of dynamic range [1] to vividly capture the rich, vibrant colors of the setting sun.

 

- 4K/120fps HDR Video 
When filming slow-motion videos at 4K/120fps during skiing, the medium tele camera can record high-resolution videos that are slowed down to showcase a skier's skills and even the most subtle movements.

 

- 10-bit D-Log M & HLG Video
Air 3S's medium tele camera also supports recording 10-bit video in normal color mode using H.265 encoding, offering refined color performance and greater flexibility in post. With 10-bit D-Log M mode enabled, the camera captures richer color details and beautifully renders the vibrant lights of the city as evening falls.
