DJI Air 3S is a travel‑friendly, dual‑camera drone that pairs a large 1‑inch‑CMOS primary camera with a 70 mm (equiv.) medium‑tele camera, each supporting up to 14 stops of video dynamic range. New nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing uses forward‑facing LiDAR with binocular vision and a downward infrared sensor, while O4 delivers a robust 1080p/60 live feed out to 20 km (FCC). With up to 45 minutes of flight time, 42 GB of built‑in storage, Free panorama on both cameras, and next‑gen Smart RTH, Air 3S is built to maximize every aerial moment for creators on the go.

Drawbacks

  • Heavier midsize airframe (724 g) vs. sub‑250 g minis; less compact to carry and subject to more regulations in some regions.
    (dji.com)
  • Fixed apertures (f/1.8 wide, f/2.8 tele); no adjustable aperture for fine exposure control.
    (dji.com)
  • Max resolution tops out at 4K; no 5.1K/5.4K capture. Vertical video limited to 2.7K/60.

  • AC charger not included in the base kit (USB‑C cable only); DJI recommends using a 65 W or 100 W charger.
