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 [3] and more dynamic imaging possibilities.

 

Wide-Angle Camera

2.4μm Pixel Size 24mm Format Equivalent f/1.7 Aperture

3x Medium Tele Camera

2.4μm Pixel Size 70mm Format Equivalent f/2.8 Aperture

 

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.

 

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. 10-bit HLG mode can present a higher dynamic range, achieving excellent imaging results without color grading.

 

Vision Assist

With the support of an advanced omnidirectional vision sensing system, Air 3’s Vision Assist can provide real-time views from the front, back, left, and right. This helps pilots to better understand their surroundings for more confident flights, enabling bolder creativity in camera movements and unlocking the full potential of aerial photography.

 

Multi-Directional Flight Assistance

For camera movements like circling or pulling away, you can use Vision Assist to accurately gauge spatial distances to the left, right, and back. Even with the gimbal angled downward or upward, you can maintain a forward view for more confident camera movements and flight.

 

Medium-Telephoto Camera Movement Assistance

When using the 3x medium tele camera, the field of view narrows. However, Vision Assist can provide an expansive view of the environment ahead, helping you accurately gauge object distances to plan safer, smoother flight paths.

 

Night-Scene Assistance

During nighttime flights, Vision Assist adds an extra layer of safety. By observing bright spots in the Vision Assist interface, you can identify potential obstacles in the surroundings. This provides added awareness in flight environments where light levels are too low to support obstacle avoidance.

 

Extended Flight, Innovative Charging

Air 3 offers up to 46 minutes of flight time, [1] an increase of 48% [5] 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. [2] When obstacles are detected, Air 3 can use APAS 5.0 to perform smoother avoidance movements [7] for a safer overall flight experience. Even complete beginners can now fly with confidence and execute creative ideas with enhanced safety.

 

O4 HD Video Transmission

The next-gen O4 HD 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, [9] while maintaining omnidirectional obstacle sensing [2] to return to its home point quickly and safely.

 

Get even more creativity in your shots when you use Air 3’s ActiveTrack 360°. When paired with the omnidirectional vision sensing system and 3x medium tele camera, it helps you to capture cinematic footage that keeps your subject in frame. In Manual mode, you can customize the flight path while still enjoying simple and intuitive control. Draw your flight path on the Manual wheel, and Air 3 will carry out orbiting, approaching, and distancing maneuvers with your subject centered.

 

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. Two 4:3-aspect-ratio CMOS sensors provide enough space for vertical crops that maintain a 2.7K resolution and are optimized for smartphone viewing. This means images are ready to share on social media without any cropping needed in post.

3x Medium Tele Camera

 

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.

 

More Features, Expanded Creativity

Hyperlapse

Select from four options, including Free, Circle, Course Lock, and Waypoint to capture timelapse footage at up to 4K horizontally or 2.7K vertically.

 

Slow Motion

Select 4K/100fps [4] to directly record a 4x slow-motion video.

 

Night Mode

Thanks to an advanced noise reduction algorithm, Air 3 can capture noise-free footage at up to 4K/30fps in low-light environments or at night.

 

SmartPhoto 3.0

In single shot mode, 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, [11] the camera can record a larger dynamic range with built-in contrast enhancement.

 

QuickTransfer

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

 

LightCut App

Connect to Air 3 wirelessly via the LightCut app on your smartphone for expanded creative options such as One-Tap Edit. There is no need to download all the footage during the process, which helps save storage space on your mobile device.

 

One-Tap Edit

Intelligently selects clips based on composition and flight path and automatically matches optimal template options and sound effects to generate a quick and effortlessly cinematic video.

 

Tilt-Shift Effects

Enjoy a tilt-shift effect with just one tap. Apply this feature to footage shot with the 3x medium tele camera for even more dramatic results.

 

Waypoint Flight

For the first time ever, the Waypoint Flight 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.

 

Immerse Yourself in Flight

With DJI Goggles Integra, DJI Goggles 2, and DJI RC Motion 2, Air 3 is primed to give you an exhilarating first-person flight experience.
