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 [3] and more dynamic imaging possibilities.
With the wide-angle camera, sweeping landscapes can be more fully captured.
And the 3x medium tele camera achieves lossless 3x optical zoom for spatial compression that provides a unique perspective of any subject.
Use the expansive FOV of the wide-angle camera to capture more of any landscape. Switch to the 3x medium tele camera to frame any subject as a bold focal point.
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.
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 colouring and natural lighting transitions for breathtaking and highly-accurate results.
Max Video Specification – 4K/100fps [4]
HDR Video – Up to 4K/60fps
Colour Modes – 10-bit D-Log M, 10-bit HLG
Both cameras also support 10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit HLG colour 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 colour grading.
Air 3 offers up to 46 minutes of flight time, [1] an increase of 48% [5] 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, [6] giving you a more fully charged battery in situations where charging options are limited.
An omnidirectional sensing system enables comprehensive environmental awareness, allowing Air 3 to detect obstacles in all directions. [2] When obstacles are detected, Air 3 can use APAS 5.0 to perform smoother avoidance movements [7] for a safer overall flight experience. Even complete beginners can now fly with confidence and execute creative ideas with enhanced safety.
The next-gen O4 video transmission system empowers Air 3 with dramatically enhanced transmission performance. It provides a max range of 20 km [8] with increased stability, and a 1080p/60fps max-quality live feed to ensure ultra-smooth viewing and operating.
During Smart RTH, Air 3 will automatically plan an optimised flight route for Advanced RTH, [9] while maintaining omnidirectional obstacle sensing [2] to return to its home point quickly and safely.
FocusTrack keeps you or your subject easily in the centre 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. [10]
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 optimised 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.
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 [4] or 1080p/100fps [4] 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, [11] the camera can record a larger dynamic range with built-in contrast enhancement.
QuickTransfer – Quickly download photos and videos from the aircraft to your smartphone through a wireless connection, saving time and effort.
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.
