DJI Enhances Dual-Camera Drone for Unmatched Aerial Travel Photography  – sUAS News

Expand Creativity with Safer Nighttime FlyingOffering unrivaled environmental awareness, the Air 3S is the first DJI drone to feature forward-facing LiDAR, while also featuring downward infrared time-of-flight (TOF) sensors and six vision sensors (two at the front, rear, and bottom) to achieve nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing¹. This advanced technology enables the Air 3S to automatically identify and circumvent obstacles during its flight and return paths, ensuring trouble-free safety during nighttime photography. The Air 3S is designed to be the perfect easy to use all-rounder drone. Powered by real-time vision positioning and map construction technologies, the DJI Air 3S memorizes flight paths when adequate lighting is available. This ensures a safe return when taking off from locations without a satellite signal¹.  Stay in Focus with ActiveTrack 360°The DJI Air 3S features ActiveTrack 360° to keep any subject in the frame. Based on the surrounding flight environment, the optimized tracking performance automatically plans a flight path. It adjusts the framing to guarantee more dynamic shots that keep the subject the center 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-center. This feature allows the pilot to fully concentrate on the more creative aspects of perfecting a shot like composition and camera movement. Other Standout Features45-Min Max Flight Time: With up to 45 minutes of flight time¹, the Air 3S offers adequate time to scout locations, compose, capture cinematic shots, and repeat.

10-bit O4 Video Transmission: Powered by DJI O4 HD video transmission technology, the Air 3S delivers 10-bit video transmission at 1080p/60fps over distances of up to 20 kilometers¹. 

42-GB Built-in Storage: Setting a new standard, the Air 3S allows creators to film without needing to deal with microSD cards.

Off-State QuickTransfer: Files can be sent from the Air 3S to a smartphone even when the drone is powered off¹. Transfers to a computer can also be done with the drone powered off by simply connecting Air 3S via a compatible USB cable.

Charging Hub with Power Accumulation¹: The Charging Hub supports PD fast charging and a power accumulation function, allowing users to transfer the remaining power of multiple low-power batteries into the battery with the highest remaining power¹.

Data Protection: Local Data Mode acts like “airplane mode” on the phone by completely disconnecting the DJI Air 3S from the internet, ensuring all data stays only in the drone.Pricing and AvailabilityThe DJI Air 3S is available to order from store.dji.com, with shipping starting today.
