Air 3S overview
The DJI Air 3S is a 50 MP 1-inch camera drone with a built-in lens, announced by DJI in October 2024.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits flying near trees and buildings, long flights, colour grading, and dusk and sunrise. It is a weaker pick for flying without registering.
New, it sells for A$1,699 in Australia (Ted's Cameras).
Worth comparing it with the DJI Air 3, DJI Mini 5 Pro and DJI Mavic 4 Pro.
