DJI Air 3S Drone
Key Features
  • Dual Wide-Angle & 3x Telephoto Cameras
  • 4K120, 4K60 HDR, or 2.7K Vertical Video
  • 10-Bit D-Log M & HLG Color Modes
  • Forward-Facing LiDAR Sensor
Achieving another first for their family of camera drones, the DJI Air 3S Drone features a forward-facing LiDAR sensor that elevates the nighttime capabilities of the versatile Air 3S. The sensor is integrated into both the omnidirectional APAS avoidance system and the return-to-home function. It gives pilots an Air 3 that can fly, film, and come home more safely at night. Similar to the Air 3, the camera system of the Air 3S offers creators a dual-camera system—a 24mm wide angle and a 70mm telephoto, ideal for landscapes and portraits. For more dynamic and creative content creation, 2.7K vertical shooting is available on both cameras, as well as a host of other modes, such as subject tracking, automated flight paths, and complex maneuvers. As with the Air 3, the Air 3S can be taken almost anywhere, thanks to its compact and folding design.

As with the Air 3, the Air 3S can be taken almost anywhere, thanks to its compact and folding design.
RC-N3 Remote Controller
This standard version of the DJI Air 3S includes the RC-N3 remote controller and intelligent flight battery, letting you take to the skies without additional purchase. All you need is a compatible smartphone to add to the RC-N3. It will accept any phone up to 7.1" in length, 3.4" in width, and 0.4" thick. Pilot for up to 3.5 hours on a full charge or up to 1.5 hours if you choose to pilot while charging your phone from the RC-N3's built-in battery.
Professional Quality
The dual-camera system of the Air 3S consists of a 1" CMOS 24mm 50MP wide-angle camera and a 1/1.3" CMOS 70mm 48MP medium telephoto camera. Together, they can capture clear, expansive landscapes or cinematic portraits and vehicle shots. Both cameras share the same video recording capabilities to keep your content consistent, with support for 4K60 HDR using 14 stops of dynamic range for high-contrast scenes and 4K120 in Slow Motion mode to capture fast-paced action. In addition to the standard color mode, you can choose 10-bit D-Log M with H.265 encoding and HLG, which allow for increased brightness and more detail in low-light scenes.
Get Creative
The camera system is supported by a wide variety of MasterShots and QuickShots options that give you the ability to perform pre-programmed flight paths and complex, professional maneuvers with a tap. This is in addition to the following features that extend the abilities of the Air 3S and the amazing results it can achieve.

  • 2.7K Vertical Shooting: Each camera can shoot footage in portrait orientation at 2.7K resolution, making it easy to quickly deliver pre-formatted clips to your favorite social media platforms.
  • Free Panorama: Usable with each camera, pilots manually select a subject or area as multiple images are taken and stitched together into a single expansive shot.
  • Waypoint Flight: Meet your specific shooting needs by having the Air 3S follow your custom pre-set flight paths and camera movements.
  • Cruise Control: Quickly lock the control stick inputs so you can apply more focus to camera adjustments.
  • ActiveTrack 360°: This mode locks onto and follows a subject, analyzing its surroundings and automatically planning a flight path, continually making adjustments to keep the subject in frame and sharp focus.
  • Hyperlapse: Create aerial time-lapse shots as the drone flies through the air.
  • Subject Focusing: This keeps your subject in sharp focus during manual flight, even if it moves off-center, letting you pay more attention to composition and camera positioning.
Vision Assist
Get your bearings as you pilot the Air 3S by using Vision Assist. This feature gives you a front, back, left, right, and downward view around your drone.
Smart RTH
The Air 3S is capable of intelligently returning to home in adverse conditions. If it's nighttime, the new forward-facing LiDAR sensor is utilized to return while keeping clear of obstacles. If there is no access to GPS, the Air 3S can memorize its flight path in Non-GPS RTH mode and safely return to its takeoff point.
Storage and Off-State QuickTransfer
With 42GB of built-in storage, you can take to the air and capture a considerable amount of footage without needing an optional memory card. When you need to expand your storage, the Air 3S accepts optional V30/U3/A2 microSD cards up to 512GB. When retrieving your data, the Off-State QuickTransfer feature lets you do that with the drone powered off. Simply attach a USB cable to the Air 3S to copy footage to a mobile device or PC.
Additional Features
  • 10-bit O4 video transmission at 1080p60 up to 12.4 miles away
  • 3x optical zoom on 70mm telephoto camera
  • Up to 45 minutes of flight time
  • Up to 47 mph flight speed
  • Wind resistance of up to 27 mph
