Features

• Subjects that Tell a Story:  Wide-Angle & 3x Medium Tele
• Extended Air Time:  46-Min Max Flight Time 
• All-Around Protection:  Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing
• Superior Details:  Dual-Camera 48MP Photos
• Effortlessly Epic Imaging:  Dual-Camera 4K/60fps HDR Videos 
• More Range with More Stability:  New O4 Video Transmission

Dual-Primary Camera System

Air 3 boasts the first dual-primary camera system of the Air series, embedding a 1/1.3-inch-CMOS wide-angle camera and a 1/1.3-inch-CMOS 3x medium tele camera in a sleek and compact body. The two cameras have the same sensor size but different focal lengths, delivering consistent image quality and more dynamic imaging possibilities.

• Wide-Angle Camera:  
• 2.4μm Pixel Size
• 24mm Format Equivalent
• f/1.7 Aperture
• 3X Medium Tele Camera:
• 2.4μm Pixel Size
• 70mm Format Equivalent
• f/2.8 Aperture

Complementary Camera Performance

With the wide-angle camera, sweeping landscapes can be more fully captured. The 3x medium tele camera achieves lossless 3x optical zoom for spatial compression that provides a unique perspective of any subject.

Dual-Camera 48MP Photos

Both cameras are capable of delivering 48MP photos filled with true-to-life details that look great and allow seamless cropping in post for those who need it.

• Wide-Angle Camera | 48 MP
• 3x Medium Tele Camera | 48 MP

Dual-Camera 4K/60fps HDR Videos

Air 3’s two 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensors support dual native ISO for direct output of 4K/60fps HDR video without cropping. This means footage from either camera can be packed with rich coloring and natural lighting transitions for breathtaking and highly-accurate results. Both cameras also support 10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit HLG color modes. 10-bit D-Log M mode helps retain more highlight and shadow details for increased flexibility when editing. While 10-bit HLG mode can present a higher dynamic range, achieving excellent imaging results without color grading.

• Max Video Specification:  4K/100fps
• HDR Video:  HDR Video Up to 4K/60fps
• Color Modes:  10-bit D-Log M, 10-bit HLG

Fly Confident, Fly Safe - Extended Flight, Innovative Charging

Air 3 offers up to 46 minutes of flight time, an increase of 48% compared to the previous generation. This provides plenty of time to explore, adjust compositions, and get the shots you want, all during a single flight.

The new battery charging hub supports an innovative power transfer function. Simply press and hold the function button to transfer the remaining power from multiple batteries to the battery with the highest remaining power, giving you a more fully charged battery in situations where charging options are limited.

Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing

An omnidirectional sensing system enables comprehensive environmental awareness, allowing Air 3 to detect obstacles in all directions. When obstacles are detected, Air 3 can use APAS 5.0 to perform smoother avoidance movements for a safer overall flight experience. Even beginners can now fly with confidence and execute creative ideas with enhanced safety.

• Horizontal Omnidirectional Vision System
• Upward Vision System
• Downward Vision System
• Downward ToF Sensor

O4 Video Transmission

The next-gen O4 video transmission system empowers Air 3 with dramatically enhanced transmission performance. It provides a max range of 20 km with increased stability, and a 1080p/60fps max-quality live feed to ensure ultra-smooth viewing and operating.

Intelligent Features to Fly Inspired

• FocusTrack:  Keeps you or your subject easily in the center of the frame. The 3x medium tele camera unlocks a unique sense of spatial compression when highlighting subjects. This updated tracking performance combined with omnidirectional obstacle sensing lets you get intelligent, well-planned shots whenever and wherever you need them.
• QuickShots:  Empower Air 3 with creative camera movement options like Rocket, Dronie, Circle, Helix, Boomerang, and Asteroid.
• 2.7K Vertical Shooting:  Air 3 supports 2.7K vertical shooting with both cameras, giving vertical footage a superbly dynamic look when capturing landscapes or subjects. The 2.7K vertical shot output directly from the 4:3 CMOS delivers clips that are optimized for smartphone viewing and ready to share on social media without any cropping needed in post.
• MasterShots:  Allows Air 3 to automatically perform diverse camera movements, shooting multiple clips and editing them with music, cuts, and effects for fast and simplified cinematic footage.

More Features, Expanded Creativity

• Night Mode:  Thanks to an advanced noise reduction algorithm, Air 3 can capture noise-free footage at up to 4K/30fps in low-light environments or at night.
• Hyperlapse:  Select from four options, including Free, Circle, Course Lock, and Waypoint to capture timelapse footage at up to 4K horizontally or 2.7K vertically.
• Slow Motion:  Select 4K/100fps or 1080p/100fps to directly record a 4x slow-motion video.
• SmartPhoto 3.0:  In single shot mode, Air 3 uses SmartPhoto 3.0 by default, which can automatically select among HDR, hyperlight, and scene recognition according to the scenario for better imaging results. In HDR DNG format, the camera can record a larger dynamic range with built-in contrast enhancement. The image file can achieve JPG-level quality in post-editing software, reducing the difficulty of post-production.
• QuickTransfer:  Quickly download photos and videos from the aircraft to your smartphone through a wireless connection, saving time and effort.

LightCut App

Connect to Air 3 wirelessly via the LightCut app on your smartphone for expanded creative options such as One-Tap Edit. There is no need to download all the footage during the process, which helps save storage space on your mobile device.

• One-Tap Edit:  Intelligently selects clips based on composition and flight path and automatically matches optimal template options and sound effects to generate a quick and effortlessly cinematic video.
• Tilt-Shift Effects:  Enjoy a tilt-shift effect with just one tap. Apply this feature to footage shot with the 3x medium tele camera for even more dramatic results.

Hyper-Advanced Shooting

For the first time ever, the Waypoint feature is now available on the Air series. Plan flight routes and shooting actions for Air 3 in advance to achieve difficult camera movements and stunning one-takes. You can also save flight routes to repeat the same movement with precision at a later time or date, opening the door to long-duration timelapse shots that capture transitions like day to night or season to season.
