Aerial photography and cinematography now have fascinating new options, thanks to the DJI Air 3. A dual primary camera system has been put into the Air 3 by DJI, one of the most forward-thinking tech companies, enabling the telephoto camera to match the main camera’s characteristics. By enabling pilots to take cinematic photos from various angles, this function expands their creative options.
The Air 3 features notable advancements over its predecessors. It makes use of DJI’s cutting-edge O4 gearbox system, which considerably increases its range and debuts the Waypoint feature for the Air series.
The drone’s battery life has also been improved, and it runs with less noise. Additionally, it has the same functionality as the Mavic 3 Pro, such as the ability to detect obstacles from all sides, track the focus, and use hyperlapse.
With a dual-camera module at the front and omnidirectional sensors for obstacle identification, the Air 3 has a similar design as the Mavic 3. It compresses into a compact form factor that is excellent for travel, similar to the Mavic 3. . The drone’s aerodynamic design, which was adapted from the Mini 3 Pro, aids in improving flying performance and wind resistance.
The Air 3’s flight time is improved by the addition of larger 4,241 mAh batteries, enabling up to 46 minutes of flight. When charging facilities are few, the new charging capability permits power transfer across batteries for longer flights.
The Air 3 greatly increases its transmission range in challenging terrain and gets around the restrictions imposed by European drone rules thanks to the newest O4 video transmission system.

The Air 3 is adaptable for a variety of shooting situations because it strikes a solid compromise between the Mavic 3 Pro’s stability and the Mini 3 Pro’s quickness. Its remarkable obstacle avoidance with APAS 5.0 reduces the chance of collisions, especially while flying through confined locations.The Air 3 includes all of DJI’s signature functions, including Active Track, Master Shots, Quickshots, and Timelapse, which all function flawlessly with both cameras. The inclusion of a telescopic camera improves Quickshots’ efficiency by bringing closeness and drama to the shots and gaining the added security of obstacle detection.
Users may now plan exact flight routes and camera movements for repetitive photos or Timelapse sequences using the Waypoint flying mode, formerly accessible only on the Mavic 3.
The RC-2 controller, which DJI has also released, achieves a balance between the RC and RC Pro controllers by providing a more economical choice with enhanced functionality and controls.
The 24-mm primary camera and 70-mm telephoto camera on the Air 3 provide stunning footage with 10-bit 4:2:0 D-Log M and HLG HDR support. Despite lacking a variable aperture, the Air 3’s image quality is comparable to that of the Air 2S’s bigger sensor due to advancements in dynamic range and low-light performance.
The DJI Air 3 is an intriguing option for drone aficionados searching for cutting-edge features, twin primary cameras, and superior performance, and it costs $1,100.
It successfully competes with other drones in its price range and demonstrates that it is a desirable alternative for people looking for a steady and capable camera drone without breaking the bank.
