The DJI Air 3S is a versatile, dual-camera drone crafted for travel photography enthusiasts. Its integration of cutting-edge technology makes it a standout option for capturing a range of visual styles and subjects. Equipped with a 1-inch CMOS primary camera and a 70mm medium tele camera, both offering up to 14 stops of dynamic range, the Air 3S ensures detailed captures whether you’re photographing sweeping landscapes or intimate portraits. Its advanced features, like the new Free panorama function, allow users to choose flexible shooting ranges, expanding the creative possibilities in any setting. Designed with safety in mind, the DJI Air 3S introduces nightscape obstacle sensing and next-gen Smart RTH, specifically tailored for nighttime photography. This technology allows the drone to navigate safely even in low-light conditions, making it a reliable companion for capturing cityscapes or night skies. Its dual-camera system combines the power of a 1-inch CMOS sensor with a 24mm lens for broad vistas, while the 70mm medium tele camera shines in capturing closer subjects like vehicles or portraits with a compressed depth of field, offering a cinematic touch.
The primary wide-angle camera features a 50MP 1-inch CMOS sensor, supporting 4K/60fps HDR and 4K/120fps video recording, complemented by a 10-bit D-Log M color mode. This advanced sensor captures even the smallest details, ensuring vibrant images in low-light conditions such as sunsets or nighttime scenes. With up to 14 stops of dynamic range in HDR mode, the Air 3S captures stunning cloud details during sunrise and sunset, offering richer visuals in high-contrast environments and adding depth to creative projects. For videography enthusiasts, the medium tele camera includes a 48MP 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor with similar video specifications and color modes as the primary camera. This allows for a seamless visual transition between lenses, streamlining post-processing. Its 70mm lens offers a 3x optical zoom, allowing for creative shots from a distance without sacrificing clarity. Whether circling around a subject or shooting from a distance, the medium tele camera is ideal for detailed, expressive close-ups.
The Free panorama mode available on both cameras allows users to stitch together multiple images to create stunning panoramic shots, capturing the full scope of a scene with ease. The wide-angle lens provides a broad field of view, while the medium tele camera offers reduced distortion and creates expansive images with refined details. This feature is particularly useful for creating stunning vistas or immersive cityscapes, making it a valuable tool for travel photographers. DJI Air 3S is also packed with creative modes like 2.7K vertical shooting, MasterShots, QuickShots, and Hyperlapse, offering a wide array of options for capturing dynamic content. For safer and more precise flying, it includes the Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems (APAS) and features forward-facing LiDAR along with a downward infrared time-of-flight (ToF) sensor and six vision sensors for nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing. This ensures safe navigation during complex flights, especially in low-visibility conditions.
For those looking to capture smooth, uninterrupted footage, the DJI Air 3S features ActiveTrack 360°. This allows the drone to keep a subject perfectly in frame while automatically adjusting its flight path and perspective based on the surroundings. The new Subject Focusing feature ensures that subjects remain sharp, even if they move off-center or the pilot manually adjusts the drone’s position. These tools make it easier for users to focus on the creative aspects of their shots without worrying about losing focus on their subject. With a maximum flight time of up to 45 minutes, the DJI Air 3S provides ample time for exploring, setting up shots, and capturing the perfect frame. Its DJI O4 FHD video transmission technology allows for 10-bit video transmission at 1080p/60fps over distances of up to 20 kilometers, ensuring smooth and responsive control. The option to use the DJI Cellular Dongle 2 adds an extra layer of reliability, maintaining stable video feeds even in challenging conditions. With 42GB of built-in storage, the DJI Air 3S offers the convenience of immediate recording without the need for additional memory cards.
