Air 3 overview

The DJI Air 3 is a 48 MP 1/1.3-inch camera drone with a built-in lens, announced by DJI in July 2023. It has been followed by the DJI Air 3S; both are still sold.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits flying near trees and buildings, long flights, and colour grading. It is a weaker pick for flying without registering.

New, it sells for $849 in the United States (Focus Camera); used and refurbished copies start at $979.95. It launched at $1,099.

Worth comparing it with the DJI Air 3S, DJI Mini 4 Pro and DJI Mavic 3 Pro.
