DJI Introduces Air 3 Drone: Powerful Addition to the Air Series
DJI continues to boost the bar for small drones. Today, DJI launched the Air 3: with a wide-angle camera and a 3x medium tele camera. The Air 3 is an aerial photography hobbyists dream – and an ideal all-rounder for industrial drone pilots. At a current price of $1,099 (as much as about $1500 for the fly more combos) the Air 3 offers amazing capabilities for the scale and price.
“The DJI Air 3 is the primary drone of our Air Series which offers skilled features like dual primary cameras and omnidirectional obstacle sensing and at the identical time retaining its lightweight capabilities with a weight of just 720g for more freedom and adaptability,” said Ferdinand Wolf, Creative Director at DJI. “The drone is the right all-rounder in your outdoor adventures and offers you a more diverse camera language.”
The Advantage of Dual Primary Cameras: Amazing Images
DJI says that the Air 3’s dual cameras allow content creators to spotlight the topic within the frame. The Air 3 contains a 1/1.3-inch CMOS wide-angle camera and a 1/1.3-inch CMOS 3x medium tele camera. “The 2 cameras have the identical sensor size but different focal lengths, which lead to more consistent image quality and more diverse camera language,” explains the DJI announcement. “With the wide-angle camera, sweeping landscapes may be captured more fully. It offers 2.4μm pixel size, 24mm format equivalent and a F1.7 aperture. The 3x Medium Tele Camera offers 2.4μm pixel size, 70mm format equivalent and a F2.8 aperture.”
For content creators, DJI Air 3 makes posting easier. DJI Air 3 supports 2.7K vertical video shooting (9:16), which may be shared immediately on social media.
Prolonged Flight Time, Improved Battery Charging,
A max flight time of 46 minutes gives pilots so much more flexibility. The DJI Air 3 also offers a brand new battery charging hub, with an influence accumulation function. Which means users can transfer the remaining power from multiple batteries to the battery with the best remaining power. Optimizing power and flight time gives the Air 3 a significant advantage for work in the sphere.

The DJI Air 3 features omnidirectional obstacle sensing. “Within the front and on the back the drone is provided with a pair of fisheye lenses to realize forward, backward, left, right and upward sensing, while the underside is provided with binocular lenses and a 3D TOF,” explains DJI’s release. “When an obstacle is detected, the DJI Air 3 may also use APAS 5.0 to actively avoid and easily bypass obstacles, which ensures uninterrupted shooting for a greatly enhanced flight experience. Whilst 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 realize fully automatic flight in addition to worry-free return- to-home.”
