DOUBLE YOUR AERIAL IMAGING SKILLS WITH DJI’S NEW AIR 3 DRONE

DJI, the world leader in civilian drones and unique camera technology, proudly presents the DJI Air 3, a powerful new addition to the Air Series with twin main cameras. The drone is outfitted with a wide-angle camera and a 3x medium tele camera, allowing users to shoot photos with a wonderful feeling of compression and providing a perfect medium focal length for aerial photography aficionados. This powerful all-arounder drone provides amazing image quality and easily gorgeous footage, as both cameras include 48MP photo capability and the ability to shoot 4K/60fps HDR films. With an impressive flight time of up to 46 minutes, omnidirectional obstacle sensing, the O4 HD Video Transmission System, and a host of other flagship features, the DJI Air 3 empowers users to take their aerial photography skills to new heights.

“The DJI Air 3 is the first drone of our Air Series which offers professional features like dual primary cameras and omnidirectional obstacle sensing and at the same time retaining its lightweight capabilities with a weight of just 720g for more freedom and flexibility,” said Ferdinand Wolf, Creative Director at DJI. “The drone is the perfect all-rounder for your outdoor adventures and offers you a more diverse camera language.”

DJI Air 3 Dual Primary Cameras

The DJI Air 3 boasts the first dual-primary camera system of the Air Series, which embeds a 1/1.3-inch CMOS wide-angle camera and a 1/1.3-inch CMOS 3x medium tele camera in a compact space. The two cameras have the same sensor size but different focal lengths, which results in more consistent image quality^[3] and more diverse camera language.

With the wide-angle camera, sweeping landscapes can be captured more fully. It offers a 2.4μm pixel size, a 24mm format equivalent, and an F1.7 aperture. The 3x Medium Tele Camera offers a 2.4μm pixel size, 70mm format equivalent, and an F2.8 aperture.

The 3x medium tele camera can achieve 3x optical zoom and create a strong sense of spatial compression, enabling a unique perspective to present the user or anyone else as the subject of aerial photography. With people on the scene, aerial photography now has more diverse possibilities.

Pilots can use the wide FOV of the wide-angle camera to embrace the whole landscape or switch to the 3x medium tele camera and capture the subject as a bold focal point, with the landscape before and behind the subject seemingly within reach. Both cameras offer 48MP photos, not only delivering true-to-life details but also supporting post-cropping for easy secondary composition.

The DJI Air 3 has two 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensors that support dual native ISO for direct output of 4K/60fps HDR video at high frame rates and up to 4K/100fps max video specification, now even without FOV cropping compared to its predecessor, the DJI Air 2S. These videos can record rich color details and natural lighting transitions to restore the stunning landscape before your eyes. Both cameras support 10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit HLG color modes. The 10-bit D-Log M mode can retain more highlight and shadow details for more flexible post-production.

The DJI Air 3 is the first drone in the Air Series to support 2.7K vertical video shooting (9:16), which can be shared immediately on social media.

Extended Flight Time, Easy Power Accumulation

Compared with its predecessor in the Air Series, the DJI Air 3 has 48% more max flight time^[5] of up to 46 minutes. Thus, pilots can seek the best position and adjust the composition with more peace of mind during a single flight.

The new battery charging hub supports a power accumulation function. Users can press and hold the function button to transfer the remaining power from multiple batteries to the battery with the highest remaining power. This feature gives pilots the freedom and flexibility to make the most of their flight while, for example, hiking in the mountains or biking in the forest, where charging possibilities are limited.

Confident Takeoff and Safe Landing with Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing and O4 Video Transmission

The DJI Air 3 is the first drone in the Air Series to include omnidirectional obstacle sensing. This feature enables comprehensive environmental awareness, allowing the drone to detect obstacles in all directions. In the front and at the back, the drone is equipped with a pair of fisheye lenses to achieve forward, backward, left, right, and upward sensing, while the bottom is equipped with binocular lenses and a 3D TOF, achieving powerful omnidirectional obstacle sensing.

When an obstacle is detected, the DJI Air 3 can also use APAS 5.0 to actively avoid and smoothly bypass obstacles, which ensures uninterrupted shooting for a greatly enhanced flight experience. Even as an aerial photography beginner, users can fly with confidence and unlock more creative ideas. The ActiveTrack function further frees the pilots’ hands and works with Advanced RTH to achieve fully automatic flight as well as a worry-free return-to-home.

The next-generation O4 video transmission system endows the DJI Air 3 with outstanding performance. It not only offers a transmission distance of up to 20 km, but also further improves transmission stability to avoid stuttered live view for safer flight. It supports up to 1080p/60fps live feeds, and a higher frame rate ensures a smoother viewing experience.

Intelligent Features, Infinite Inspiration

FocusTrack for both cameras: Consists of Spotlight 2.0, ActiveTrack 5.0, and Point of Interest 3.0. FocusTrack keeps the subject in the center of the frame. When using the 3x medium tele camera, a unique sense of spatial compression will be generated to highlight the pilot or any other person as the subject in terrific status.

QuickShots: Empowers the DJI Air 3 to perform creative camera movements like Rocket, Dronie, Circle, Helix, Boomerang, and Asteroid.

2.7K Vertical Shooting: The DJI Air 3 supports dual-camera 2.7K vertical video shooting. The wide-angle camera can capture rich image information, while the 3x medium tele camera can portray the pilot or others as the subject, facilitating more eye-catching vertical aerial photography. The 2.7K vertical shot output can be shared immediately on social media without post-cropping.

MasterShots: Allows the DJI Air 3 to automatically perform diverse camera movements, shoot multiple clips, edit the clips, and add music to generate fast and effortless cinematic footage.

Night Mode: Thanks to the noise reduction algorithm, the DJI Air 3 can capture clean footage up to 4K/30fps in low-light environments.

Hyperlapse: Select from four sub-modes: Free, Circle, Course Lock, and Waypoint, to shoot up to 4K horizontal or 2.7K vertical timelapse footage.

Slow Motion: Select 4K/100fps or 1080p/100fps to record a 4x slow-motion video directly.

SmartPhoto 3.0: In single shot mode, the DJI Air 3 uses SmartPhoto 3.0 by default, which can automatically select among HDR, hyperlight, and scene recognition according to the scenario for better imaging results. In HDR DNG format, the camera can record a larger dynamic range with built-in contrast enhancement. The image file can achieve JPG-level quality in post-editing software, reducing the difficulty of post-production.

QuickTransfer: Quickly download photos and videos from the aircraft to your smartphone through a wireless connection, saving time and effort.

LightCut: Connect the DJI Air 3 wirelessly to the LightCut app on the phone for intelligent recognition of highlight moments and one-tap editing. There is no need to download the footage during the process, saving phone storage. One-Tap Edit: Intelligently identifies the composition and flight path, selects clips with delicate composition and stable camera movements, automatically matches the best template and sound effects, and effortlessly generates a cinematic video. Tilt-Shift Effects: Enjoy incredible effects that make the shot look miniature and toy-like with just one tap. Apply this feature to footage shot with the 3x medium tele camera for even better results.

Waypoint Flight: This feature is available on the Air Series for the first time. The user can plan flight routes and shooting actions for the DJI Air 3 in advance to achieve difficult camera movements like one-takes. Pilots can also save a flight route to repeat the same mission precisely later, making it easy to create long-duration timelapse videos that capture transitions such as day to night or season to season.

Outstanding Accessories for Further Flight Performance

DJI Air 3 ND Filters Set: This set provides ND8/16/32/64 filters, allowing the user to capture smoother footage at slower shutter speeds.

DJI 100W USB-C Power Adapter: The power adapter can fast charge the battery and remote controller simultaneously, as well as mobile devices through the USB-C ports.
