“The DJI Air 3S takes our Air Series to new heights by offering professional features like dual primary cameras and omnidirectional obstacle sensing while retaining its light weight of just 724g for boundless freedom and flexibility,” said Ferdinand Wolf, Product Experience Director at DJI.
“The Air 3S is the perfect all-rounder for travel photography – capturing all your special moments during vacation while also providing safety and security if operating at night.”
In normal colour mode, Air 3S dual cameras can record 10-bit video using H.265 encoding and reach a new maximum ISO of 12,800 if you are desperate for the shot. Maximum ISO has also been increased to 3,200 when shooting in D-Log M and HLG colour modes.
Free panorama mode in both cameras enables the seamless creation of panoramic shots by stitching together multiple images with a manually selected subject or area. The wide-angle camera offers a broader Field of Vision (FOV), greatly improving efficiency when capturing panorama photos. The medium tele camera significantly reduces image distortion, crafting expansive shots with a wide perspective from multiple photos and rich details captured by its superior focal length. Both cameras are capable of shooting video with a maximum dynamic range of 14 stops.
The DJI Air 3S also offers great peace of mind when flying in complex, difficult dark areas. The drone’s new nightscape obstacle sensing and precise next-gen Smart RTH (Return-to-Home) features ensure safe night shots.
CAMERA SPECS
Primary 50MP, 1-inch-CMOS camera and 24mm lens supports 4K/60fps HDR and 4K/120fps video recording as well as 10-bit D-Log M colour mode.
Secondary 70mm medium tele camera with a 3x optical zoom 48MP 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor
The DJI Air 3S features ActiveTrack 360° to keep any subject in the frame. It adjusts the framing to guarantee more dynamic shots that keep the subject the centre of attention even if the lower half of their body is partially obscured such as standing behind bushes or on a bridge.
Air 3S also introduces a new Subject Focusing feature that keeps the subject in sharp focus, even during manual flight or when the subject moves off-centre.
