DJI Air 3 is a compact foldable drone with two powerful cameras— a wide-angle and a 3x medium telephoto. Enjoy optimized flights with a 46-minute max flight time, [1] omnidirectional obstacle sensing, [2] and O4 video transmission. And capture breathtaking details of any scene with dual-camera 48MP photos and 4K HDR video. With Air 3, film your subjects with unlimited creativity and tell a bold visual story.
Dual-Primary-Camera System
Air 3 boasts the first dual-primary camera system of the Air series, embedding a 1/1.3-inch-CMOS wide-angle camera and a 1/1.3-inch-CMOS 3x medium tele camera in a sleek and compact body. The two cameras have the same sensor size but different focal lengths, delivering consistent image quality [3] and more dynamic imaging possibilities.
| Wide-Angle Camera 2.4μm Pixel Size 24mm Format Equivalent f/1.7 Aperture | 3x Medium Tele Camera 2.4μm Pixel Size 70mm Format Equivalent f/2.8 Aperture |
Iconic from Every Angle
Use the expansive FOV of the wide-angle camera to capture more of any landscape. Switch to the 3x medium tele camera to frame any subject as a bold focal point.
Specs
Dual-Camera 48MP Photos
Both cameras are capable of delivering 48MP photos filled with true-to-life details that look great and allow seamless cropping in post for those who need it.
DJI Air 3 Specifications
| Wide-Angle Camera | 48 MP | 3x Medium Tele Camera | 48 MP |
Dual-Camera 4K/60fps HDR Videos
Air 3’s two 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensors support dual native ISO for direct output of 4K/60fps HDR video without cropping. This means footage from either camera can be packed with rich coloring and natural lighting transitions for breathtaking and highly-accurate results.
| Max Video Specification 4K/100fps | HDR Video Up to 4K/60fps | Color Modes 10-bit D-Log M 10-bit HLG |
Both cameras also support 10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit HLG color modes. 10-bit D-Log M mode helps retain more highlight and shadow details for increased flexibility when editing. While 10-bit HLG mode can present a higher dynamic range, achieving excellent imaging results without color grading.
Fly Confident, Fly Safe
Extended Flight, Innovative Charging
Air 3 offers up to 46 minutes of flight time, an increase of 48% compared to the previous generation. This provides plenty of time to explore, adjust compositions, and get the shots you want, all during a single flight.
| Improvement Over Previous Generation | Max Flight Time |
| 48% | 46 minutes |
The new battery charging hub supports an innovative power transfer function. Simply press and hold the function button to transfer the remaining power from multiple batteries to the battery with the highest remaining power, giving you a more fully charged battery in situations where charging options are limited.
Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing
An omnidirectional sensing system enables comprehensive environmental awareness, allowing Air 3 to detect obstacles in all directions. [2] When obstacles are detected, Air 3 can use APAS 5.0 to perform smoother avoidance movements [7] for a safer overall flight experience. Even complete beginners can now fly with confidence and execute creative ideas with enhanced safety.

Quick Shots
QuickShots empower Air 3 with creative camera movement options like Rocket, Dronie, Circle, Helix, Boomerang, and Asteroid. [10]
Specs
2.7K Vertical Shooting
Air 3 supports 2.7K vertical shooting with both cameras, giving vertical footage a superbly dynamic look when capturing landscapes or subjects. Two 4:3-aspect-ratio CMOS sensors provide enough space for vertical crops that maintain a 2.7K resolution and are optimized for smartphone viewing. This means images are ready to share on social media without any cropping needed in post.
MasterShots
MasterShots allows Air 3 to automatically perform diverse camera movements, shooting multiple clips and editing them with music, cuts, and effects for fast and simplified cinematic footage.
More Features, Expanded Creativity
- Night Mode - Thanks to an advanced noise reduction algorithm, Air 3 can capture noise-free footage at up to 4K/30fps in low-light environments or at night.
- Hyperlapse - Select from four options, including Free, Circle, Course Lock, and Waypoint to capture timelapse footage at up to 4K horizontally or 2.7K vertically.
- Slow Motion - Select 4K/100fps [4] or 1080p/100fps [4] to directly record a 4x slow-motion video.
- QuickTransfer - Quickly download photos and videos from the aircraft to your smartphone through a wireless connection, saving time and effort.
LightCut App
Connect to Air 3 wirelessly via the LightCut app on your smartphone for expanded creative options such as One-Tap Edit. There is no need to download all the footage during the process, which helps save storage space on your mobile device.
- One-Tap Edit - Intelligently selects clips based on composition and flight path and automatically matches optimal template options and sound effects to generate a quick and effortlessly cinematic video.
- Tilt-Shift Effects - Enjoy a tilt-shift effect with just one tap. Apply this feature to footage shot with the 3x medium tele camera for even more dramatic results.
Effortlessly Cutting-Edge
Waypoint Flight
For the first time ever, the Waypoint Flight feature is now available on the Air series. Plan flight routes and shooting actions for Air 3 in advance to achieve difficult camera movements and stunning one-takes. You can also save flight routes to repeat the same movement with precision at a later time or date, opening the door to long-duration timelapse shots that capture transitions like day to night or season to season.
