The new DJI Air 3S captures landscapes and portraits in detail both day and night, using a 1-inch CMOS camera, a 70mm medium telephoto camera and with Nightscape Omni Obstacle detection.
The DJI Air 3S is an advanced dual-camera drone designed for travel photography. Featuring a 1-inch CMOS primary camera and a 70mm medium telephoto camera, each with up to 14 stops of dynamic range, both supporting the new Free panorama function, the Air 3S flexible shooting range selections to capture landscapes, architecture and more in sharp detail.
The drone's new obstacle detection in the nightscape and precise next-gen Smart RTH (Return-to-Home) functions provide effortless peace of mind to safely capture perfect cinematic photos at night.
Compared to the previous generation DJI Air 3 the DJI Air 3S uses a more advanced compression algorithm for video encoding. This reduces video files by more than 30% without sacrificing image quality. This way, makers save valuable storage space.
Dual cameras
The Air 3S's dual cameras improve 10-bit and ISO image quality. Even in normal color mode, the Air 3S's dual cameras can record 10-bit video with H.265 encoding, delivering refined color performance and greater flexibility in post-production, with the maximum ISO increased to 12,800.
In D-Log M and HLG color modes, the maximum ISO is increased to 3,200, delivering greater clarity and detail in urban night scenes.
The Free Panorama mode in both cameras allows you to capture seamless panoramic shots by stitching together multiple images with a manually selected subject or area. The wide-angle camera offers a wider field of view (FOV), which greatly improves efficiency when taking panoramic photos.
The medium telephoto camera significantly reduces image distortion, captures expansive shots with a wide perspective of multiple photos and rich details captured by its superior focal length.
The large sensor of the primary 50MP, 1-inch CMOS camera, enhanced by advanced image processing technology and intelligent algorithms, preserves even the smallest details in low light, such as sunsets and night landscapes.
The secondary 70mm medium telephoto camera with a 3x optical zoom excels in portrait and vehicle shots, offering a compressed depth of field to emphasize any subject with a bolder, more cinematic look. With its 48MP 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor, this camera supports the same video specifications and color modes as the primary camera. This ensures visually consistent images for streamlined post-processing.
Safer flying at night
The Air 3S is the first DJI drone with forward-facing LiDAR, while it also features downward infrared time-of-flight (TOF) sensors and six vision sensors (two on the front, rear and bottom) to achieve omnidirectional obstacle detection in the night landscape.
This technology enables the Air 3S to automatically identify and avoid obstacles during flight and return paths, ensuring hassle-free safety during night photography.
Powered by real-time vision positioning and map construction technologies, the DJI Air 3S remembers flight paths when sufficient lighting is available. This ensures safe return when taking off from locations without a satellite signal1.
ActiveTrack 360°
The ActiveTrack 360° can keep any subject in the frame. Based on the surrounding flight environment, the optimized tracking performance automatically plans a flight path. It adjusts the framing to ensure more dynamic shots that keep the subject the center of attention, even when the lower half of their body is partially hidden, such as when they are behind bushes or on a bridge.
With a flight time of up to 45 minutes, the Air 3S provides plenty of time to explore locations, compose, capture cinematic shots and repeat shots.
