Now you can add comfort to even the most minimalist trip.

DJI Air 3

The Air 3 camera drone boasts the first dual-primary camera system of the Air series, embedding a wide-angle camera and a 3x medium tele camera in a sleek body. The two cameras have the same sensor size but different focal lengths, delivering consistently stunning image quality and more imaging possibilities for the pilot. Use the gargantuan FOV of the wide-angle camera to capture more of any landscape than you ever thought possible. Then switch to the 3x medium tele camera to frame any subject as a vivid focal point. And thanks to an omnidirectional vision sensing system, Air 3 provides real-time views from the front, back, left and right. This helps you understand your surroundings faster for more confident and productive flights. But we’re just barely scratching the surface of what the Air 3 can do. Find out more at www.dji.com
