Drone Overview — DJI Air 3

The DJI Air 3 is a compact, folding drone built around a 48 MP sensor and a dual-camera system designed to cover a wide range of aerial imaging scenarios. Weighing in at 720g and folding down to 207 × 100.5 × 91.1 mm, it strikes a balance between portability and capability. The drone captures stills at a maximum resolution of 8064 × 6048 px with burst mode available at up to 7 frames per burst.

On the video side, it tops out at 4K with a broad selection of frame rates spanning 24fps all the way up to 100fps, giving shooters flexibility for both cinematic and slow-motion work. Color grading options are well-represented, with Normal (8-bit), HLG (10-bit), and D-Log M (10-bit) profiles available for both photo and video. Stabilization is handled by a gimbal system, complemented by digital IS.

The autofocus system combines contrast detection with AI-based subject tracking, and subject tracking is fully supported. The DJI Air 3 Intelligent Flight Battery delivers up to 46 minutes of flight time per charge. Storage options include microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC, and internal storage.

The controller display runs at 1920 × 1080 on a 5.5-inch screen with a 1080p, 60Hz live view feed. ISO range runs from 100 to 6400. The body is constructed from plastic composite with no weather sealing.

Description — DJI Air 3

The DJI Air 3 packs a 48 MP sensor into a folding body that measures just 207 × 100.5 × 91.1 mm when folded and weighs 720g.
