Let’s Answer Your Questions
Compared with DJI Air 3, what are the main improvements of DJI Air 3S?
DJI Air 3S has comprehensive improvements in the camera system, vision sensing system, intelligent features, and video transmission system. The main improvements include:
1. DJI Air 3S is equipped with an upgraded 1-inch CMOS primary camera, utilizing a new image-processing platform with a video dynamic range of up to 14 stops*. It supports up to 4K/120fps video recording**. Additionally, its wide-angle and medium tele cameras support the new Free panorama feature, which allows flexible shooting-range selections.
2. DJI Air 3S features new forward-facing LiDAR, supporting nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing*** and next-gen Smart RTH. It can actively identify and avoid obstacles, such as buildings along the flight and return paths, ensuring safer urban nightscape photography. It can also memorize flight paths in well-lit conditions, enabling quick takeoffs and safe returns even without satellite signals****.
3. DJI Air 3S adopts the O4 video transmission system, offering more stable signals, stronger anti-interference capabilities, and better image quality.
* 14 stops of dynamic range are achievable for video on Auto mode but not for vertical or slow-motion video.
** 4K/120fps video recording is only supported in Slow Motion mode.
*** This feature is only effective on surfaces with discernible textures and in lighting conditions exceeding 1 lux. Refer to the official DJI website or the product's user manual for details.
**** This feature is only effective on surfaces with discernible textures and in lighting conditions exceeding 10 lux. Refer to the official DJI website or the product's user manual for details.
Does DJI Air 3S support vertical shooting?
Both the wide-angle camera and medium tele camera support vertical shooting (9:16), and a max video resolution is 2.7K/60fps.
Compared with DJI Air 3, what are the improvements in the camera module of DJI Air 3S?
Compared with the camera module of DJI Air 3, DJI Air 3S has the following major improvements:
1. DJI Air 3S features an upgraded 1-inch CMOS primary camera, a new image-processing platform to enhance overall image quality, and provides a video dynamic range of up to 14 stops*.
2. DJI Air 3S supports slow-motion video recording at 1080p/240fps and 4K/120fps**.
3. DJI Air 3S introduces a new Subject Focusing feature, which can quickly and intelligently recognize the subject and maintain continuous and accurate focus.
4. The wide-angle and medium tele cameras of DJI Air 3S support the new Free panorama feature, which allows flexible shooting-range selections.
5. DJI Air 3S employs next-gen intelligent algorithms to significantly improve photo quality.
6. DJI Air 3S increases the video ISO limits: the maximum ISO in normal color mode is raised from 6,400 to 12,800***, and in D-Log M and HLG color modes, the maximum ISO is increased from 1,600 to 3,200.
* 14 stops of dynamic range are achievable for video on Auto mode but not for vertical or slow-motion video.
** Only supported in Slow Motion mode.
*** The maximum ISO for slow-motion video remains at 6,400.
Can I use other USB-C chargers to charge the battery?
Yes. However, to ensure charging efficiency, we recommended using the DJI 65W Portable Charger, DJI 100W USB-C Power Adapter, or other chargers with a power output of 60 watts or above that support the PD protocol.

1. Standard aircraft weight (including the Intelligent Flight Battery, propellers, and a microSD card). The actual product weight may vary due to differences in batch materials and external factors. Training or examination is not required for flying this product in most countries and regions. Always check local laws and regulations before use.
2. Automatic braking is supported only when flying in the Normal mode and Cine mode and during return-to-home. Intelligent functions (including Subject Tracking) do not support obstacle avoidance. If you use palm takeoff, the DJI Fly app, or a remote controller, the aircraft will only decelerate and automatically brake when it detects an obstacle within 1 meter ahead. The aircraft can perform an emergency brake if the following speed is less than 3m/s. However, if the follow speed is 3 m/s or faster, the braking distance may be insufficient, and the aircraft could collide with the obstacle. Please carefully observe your surroundings and use smart features in open areas.
3. Palm takeoff requires subject confirmation. When using palm takeoff, adhere to the following guidelines: operate in a windless environment as much as possible; hold the sides of the aircraft body from below with the camera facing the subject; make sure that your hand does not block the camera and that there are no obstacles obstructing the takeoff; avoid finger contact with the propellers to prevent injury; do not attempt to grab the drone while it is flying.
4. Achieved with QBC (Quad Bayer Coding) techniques that combine four pixels into one. Not supported when shooting 48MP photos.
5. Some shooting modes require connecting DJI Flip to a smartphone via Wi-Fi and enabling them in the DJI Fly app.
