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 $1,099 in the United States (Beach Camera). Over the last 90 days it has usually cost $925 to $1,099 new. It launched at $1,099.
Worth comparing it with the DJI Air 3, DJI Mini 5 Pro and DJI Mavic 4 Pro.
