The DJI Air 3S is the perfect dual-camera drone for capturing breathtaking travel moments. With a 1-inch CMOS primary camera and a 70mm medium tele camera, the DJI Air 3S offers up to 14 stops of dynamic range, enabling you to capture stunning landscapes, portraits, and more. The new Free panorama feature makes shooting flexible and easy, while nightscape obstacle sensing and next-gen Smart RTH ensure safety during nighttime flights. DJI Air 3S maximizes every aerial moment.

Dual Cameras, Unmatched Imagery

DJI Air 3S features a dual-camera system—1-inch CMOS primary camera and 1/1.3-inch CMOS medium tele camera. The primary camera is equipped with a larger CMOS sensor and a 24mm lens, perfect for capturing wide landscapes. The 70mm medium tele camera is ideal for portraits and vehicle shots, providing a cinematic, compressed depth of field.

1″ CMOS Primary Wide-Angle Camera:

  • 3.2μm Large Pixel Size
  • 24mm Format Equivalent
  • 50 MP
  • f/1.8 Aperture

1/1.3″ CMOS Medium Tele Camera:

  • 2.4μm Large Pixel Size
  • 70mm Format Equivalent
  • 48 MP
  • f/2.8 Aperture

Breathtaking Detail for Travel Photography

The primary camera of DJI Air 3S integrates a 50MP 1-inch CMOS sensor, supporting 4K/60fps HDR and 4K/120fps video recording, as well as a 10-bit D-Log M color mode. The enhanced image-processing technology preserves even minute details in low-light conditions such as sunsets and nightscapes, delivering stunning shots with ease.

Enhanced Imagery, Stunning Scenery

4K/60fps HDR Video

HDR video mode captures cinematic footage in high-contrast scenes, such as detailed cloud textures during sunrise and sunset, offering up to 14 stops of dynamic range.

4K/120fps Video

Enjoy enhanced resolution and frame rates to capture vibrant footage of cultural or sporting events with amazing creative possibilities in post-production.

10-bit D-Log M & HLG Video

Air 3S supports 10-bit video with H.265 encoding, offering refined color performance and greater flexibility during editing. The max ISO is raised to 12,800 in normal color mode, providing better brightness and detail.

Medium Tele Camera: Unforgettable Portraits

The 48MP medium tele camera offers the same video specs and color modes as the primary camera for consistent footage. With a 70mm lens and 3x optical zoom, you can capture detailed, expressive portraits from a distance while highlighting the subject.

Free Panorama for Expansive Shots

Both the primary and medium tele cameras support Free panorama mode. The wide-angle camera offers a broader FOV, capturing panoramas efficiently, while the medium tele camera reduces distortion and crafts expansive shots with rich details.

Safety Features for Enhanced Creativity

Nightscape Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing

With the Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems (APAS), DJI Air 3S features six vision sensors and forward-facing LiDAR for omnidirectional obstacle sensing, ensuring safer flights during nighttime photography.

Next-Gen Smart RTH

DJI Air 3S memorizes flight paths using real-time vision positioning and map construction. It safely returns, even when taking off from locations without satellite signals. Forward-facing LiDAR also helps navigate obstacles for safer returns at night.

ActiveTrack 360° for Unmatched Subject Tracking

The ActiveTrack 360° feature ensures DJI Air 3S keeps the subject optimally in frame, adjusting automatically to maintain strong shots that focus on the subject.

Extended Flight Time & Transmission Distance

Measured under FCC standard in obstructed or unobstructed environments with typical interference. Used for reference purposes only and provides no guarantee for actual transmission distance.

Question Answer
What are the network speed requirements for DJI Air 3S using Enhanced Transmission? Please ensure that the network speed is at least 5 Mbps.
Is it possible to manually switch between Enhanced Transmission and the aircraft’s original video transmission? When there is no signal from the original video transmission, it’s not possible to switch between the original video transmission and Enhanced Transmission.
However, when both the original video transmission and 4G link signals are available, you can manually enable or disable Enhanced Transmission.
How much data does DJI Air 3S consume when using Enhanced Transmission? When operating under good DJI O4 video transmission signal conditions, DJI Air 3S will not activate the 4G video transmission link.
If the transmission completely switches over to a 4G link, a 30-minute flight will consume about 1 GB of data. This value is for reference only. Please refer to the actual data usage.
Why does the live view occasionally experience increased latency when using Enhanced Transmission? Enhanced Transmission using 4G technology connects both the aircraft and the remote controller to a server, which then relays the video feed and control commands. This method depends on the 4G signal strength at both the aircraft and remote controller ends, so it is crucial to operate the aircraft in areas where the 4G signal on your remote controller or smartphone is at or nearly at full strength.

Additionally, when flying, the aircraft can face weaker 4G signals due to several factors:
1. Base stations primarily aim 4G signals towards the ground, so signal quality is naturally poorer in the air and worsens with altitude. In urban areas filled with tall buildings, though the aerial signal may be stronger, it is more likely to encounter network congestion.
2. During flight, the aircraft may encounter increased clutter and interference in the air. This inconsistent signal coverage in the air can cause latency in the aircraft’s 4G connection.
3. The 4G reach of each base station is fairly restricted, ranging from a few dozen to hundreds of meters in urban settings. Hence, the aircraft has to continuously switch from one base station to another during flight, and each switch can affect the smoothness of data transmission.

Does the DJI Cellular Dongle 2 support using a SIM card from a mobile virtual network operator? It is not recommended to use a SIM card from a mobile virtual network operator.
What type of SIM cards does the DJI Cellular Dongle 2 support? Are there any related factors I should be aware of? 1. The DJI Cellular Dongle 2 is compatible with nano-SIM cards and eSIM. (Currently, eSIM is not supported outside of the Chinese mainland.) Please purchase and use the SIM card in accordance with local laws and regulations.
2. It is strongly recommended to purchase a SIM card that supports 4G network from an official mobile network operator.
3. Do not use an IoT card; otherwise, video transmission quality will be severely affected.
4. Do not use a SIM card provided by a mobile virtual network operator; otherwise, it may result in network connection issues.
5. Do not cut a SIM card by yourself; otherwise, the SIM card may be damaged, or the rough edges and corners may cause the SIM card to be unable to be inserted or removed properly.
6. If the SIM card is set with a password (PIN code), make sure to insert the SIM card into the smartphone and cancel the PIN code; otherwise, network connection issues may arise.
7. Do not insert or remove the SIM card after powering on the DJI Cellular Dongle 2.
