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 and more dynamic imaging possibilities.
Complementary Camera Performance:
- Wide-Angle Camera: 2.4ÎĽm Pixel Size, 24mm Format Equivalent, f/1.7 Aperture
- 3x Medium Tele Camera: 2.4ÎĽm Pixel Size, 70mm Format Equivalent, f/2.8 Aperture
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.
Iconic from Every Angle
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.
Wide-Angle Camera | 48 MP
3x Medium Tele Camera | 48 MP
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.
Max Video Specification: 4K/100fps
HDR Video: Up to 4K/60fps
Color Modes: 10-bit D-Log M, 10-bit HLG
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, while 10-bit HLG mode can present a higher dynamic range, achieving excellent imaging results without color grading.
Fly Confident, Fly Safe
Air 3 offers up to 46 minutes of flight time, an increase of 48% 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, 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. When obstacles are detected, Air 3 can use APAS 5.0 to perform smoother avoidance movements for a safer overall flight experience. Even complete beginners can now fly with confidence and execute creative ideas with enhanced safety.
O4 Video Transmission
The next-gen O4 video transmission system empowers Air 3 with dramatically enhanced transmission performance. It provides a max range of 20 km 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, while maintaining omnidirectional obstacle sensing to return to its home point quickly and safely.
Intelligent Features to Fly Inspired
Air 3 offers various intelligent features like FocusTrack, QuickShots, 2.7K Vertical Shooting, and MasterShots. Capture your shots effortlessly and creatively.
More Features, Expanded Creativity
