DJI Air 3 is a compact, foldable camera drone that brings the Air Series its first dual‑primary camera system. It combines a 1/1.3‑inch CMOS wide‑angle (24 mm eq., f/1.7) with a 1/1.3‑inch CMOS 3x medium tele (70 mm eq., f/2.8), and both cameras deliver 48 MP photos plus up to 4K/100fps video with 10‑bit D‑Log M and HLG. A 46‑minute max flight time, omnidirectional obstacle sensing with APAS 5.0, and the O4 video link (1080p/60 live view, up to 20 km FCC) make it a versatile choice for travel, content creation, and everyday aerial imaging. Intelligent modes like Waypoint Flight, MasterShots, FocusTrack, QuickShots, Hyperlapse, and Night Mode streamline cinematic results, while the charging hub’s power‑accumulation feature lets you consolidate remaining battery power in the field.

Advantages

  • Dual 1/1.3‑inch sensors with matched color science across 24 mm and 70 mm deliver consistent 48 MP stills and high‑quality 10‑bit video.
  • Long 46‑minute max flight time reduces swaps and extends creative windows on location.
  • Omnidirectional obstacle sensing with APAS 5.0 plus Advanced RTH enhances flight safety and confidence for beginners and experienced pilots.
  • O4 video link provides robust 1080p/60 live view and long‑range connectivity (up to 20 km FCC) for reliable control and framing.
  • Creative tools including Waypoint Flight, MasterShots, FocusTrack, QuickShots, Hyperlapse, Night Mode, and 2.7K vertical capture enable one‑tap cinematic results and easy social sharing.
  • Charging hub power‑accumulation feature consolidates remaining charge into one battery for field efficiency.

Disadvantages

  • At ~720 g it is not sub‑250 g, so registration and stricter rules may apply in many regions.
  • Internal storage is only 8 GB; high‑bitrate 4K shooting effectively requires fast microSD media.
  • No Apple ProRes or 10‑bit 4:2:2 recording; advanced color modes are 10‑bit 4:2:0 (H.265).
  • Not weather‑sealed; rated operating window −10°C to 40°C and flights in rain/snow are not supported.
