Answer |
What are the main upgrades of the DJI Air 3 compared to the DJI Air 2S? | The DJI Air 3 has an improved camera system, video transmission system, vision detection system, increased flight time and better intelligent functions. The details are as follows: A 70mm medium telephoto camera with 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor has been added. The video transmission system has been upgraded to the next-generation O4 HD video transmission system. The drone is equipped with an omnidirectional vision detection system and supports the Advanced Pilot Assistance System (APAS) 5.0. The maximum hover time is 42 minutes* and the maximum flight time is 46 minutes**. The drone supports waypoint flights, improved return, cruise control, QuickTransfer and other intelligent functions * Measured with the DJI Air 3: hovering in a windless environment at NHN, APAS and AirSense turned off, camera parameters set to 1080 p/24 fps, video mode off and from 100% battery level to 0%. The data is for reference only. Always pay attention to the warning messages in the app during your flight. |
What certification level does the DJI Air 3 have in Europe? | The DJI Air 3 is C1-certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). |
Does the DJI Air 3 support vertical shots? | Both the wide-angle camera and the medium telephoto camera support vertical shooting (9:16) and the maximum shooting specification is 2.7K/60fps. |
Does the medium telephoto camera of the DJI Air 3 support MasterShots? | Yes. |
Does the DJI Air 3 medium telephoto camera support panorama? | No. |
Does the medium telephoto camera of the DJI Air 3 support QuickShots? | The DJI Air 3 supports all QuickShots modes except Asteroid. |
Does the DJI Air 3 support D-Log M and HLG video recording? | Both the wide-angle camera and the medium telephoto camera support 10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit HLG video recording. The 10-bit D-Log M mode allows for more flexible color correction in post-production and the 10-bit HLG mode can achieve higher dynamic range previews (requires equipment with support for HDR screens). |
Which remote controls are compatible with the DJI Air 3? | DJI RC-N2 and DJI RC 2. |
Compared to the O3 video transmission system, what are the upgrades of the O4 video transmission system? | The O4 video transmission system is a completely new hardware solution. The aircraft's antenna system has been upgraded from four to six antennas and a new frequency band* has been added. The communication algorithm has also been updated and not only delivers FHD video transmission from a maximum distance of 20 km**, but also offers improved interference immunity, which further improves transmission stability in complex environments such as cities. The remote control also supports a real-time live feed at max. 1080p/60fps, with the higher frame rate providing a smoother video image * Can only be used in countries and regions where permitted by local laws and regulations. |
Does the maximum transmission range of the O4 video transmission system vary depending on the level of interference in the environment? | In different environments, the degree of radio interference is different and the maximum transmission range varies. Without obstacles: Strong interference: urban landscapes, approx. 1.5 to 4 km Medium interference: Suburban landscapes, approx. 4 to 10 km Low interference: Suburbs/seaside, approx. 10 to 20 km Blocked: Minor interference and obstruction by buildings: approx. 0 to 0.5 km Minor interference and obstruction by trees: approx. 0.5 to 3 km Data is from testing to FCC standard in blocked or unobstructed environments with typical interference. For reference only and does not guarantee actual transmission range. |
Compared to the DJI RC-N1 remote controller, what are the upgrades in the DJI RC-N2 remote controller? | The video transmission solution has been upgraded and the antenna system has been upgraded from 1 transmitter, 2 receivers to 2 transmitters, 2 receivers. O4 video transmission can be used with the DJI Air 3. |
Compared to the DJI RC remote control, what are the upgrades in the DJI RC 2 remote control? | The performance of the processor has been increased to enable smoother operation. The video transmission solution has been updated and the antenna system has been upgraded from 1 transmitter, 2 receivers to 2 transmitters, 4 receivers. O4 video transmission can be used with the DJI Air 3. The DJI RC 2 remote controller has two built-in antennas and two external antennas, and also allows angle adjustments for the external dual antennas to achieve better video transmission effects. |
Does the DJI Air 3 support omnidirectional obstacle avoidance? | Yes. |
How does ActiveTrack 5.0 of the Osmo Mobile SE differ from ActiveTrack 4.0? | ActiveTrack 5.0 tracks subjects in eight directions and offers more creative possibilities. Embedded with advanced subject recognition technology, ActiveTrack 5.0 uses multiple vision sensors simultaneously to recognize a subject, distinguish it from other objects, and lock the subject in the frame. This allows you to continuously adjust the subject tracking angles for more natural results. Thanks to the new environment and subject detection algorithms, the DJI Air 3 reacts earlier to subject movement and environmental information and plans an optimal tracking route in advance to capture uninterrupted and stable footage. |
How do I update the firmware of the DJI Air 3? | You can either update the firmware in the DJI Fly app or use the DJI Assistant 2 desktop software (for hobby drones). For details on both firmware update methods, please visit the official website. |
Which app is used with the DJI Air 3? Where can I download the app? | The DJI Fly app. The latest app version can be found on the DJI Air 3 download page (www.dji.com/air-3/downloads) on the official DJI website. |
How long does it take to fully charge a DJI Air 3 Intelligent Flight Battery? | Approximately 80 minutes when charging with the connected USB-C charging cable of the DJI 65W Portable Charger. Approximately 60 minutes when charging with the DJI USB-C Power Adapter (100W) and DJI Air 3 Battery Charging Cradle. |
What improvements does the DJI Air 3 Battery Charger offer compared to the previous generation? | The new battery charging station supports the accumulation function and an external discharge function. It also has an improved structure for comfortable carrying. With the accumulation function, you can simply press and hold the function button to transfer the remaining power of multiple batteries to the battery with the highest remaining power, allowing for a longer effective flight time. With the external discharge function, you can use the battery charging station as a power bank and deliver the battery power to cell phones, tablets and other devices via the USB-C port with an output of up to 82 W. |
Can I use other chargers with a USB-C port to charge the battery? | Yes, but to ensure charging efficiency, we recommend using the DJI 65W Portable Charger, DJI USB-C Power Adapter (100W) or other chargers 60W and above that support the PD protocol. |
Can I charge the battery via the USB-C port of the DJI Air 3 aircraft? | Yes. |
[1] Measured by DJI Air 3: flying at a constant speed of 28.8 km/h in a windless environment at NHN, APAS and AirSense off, camera parameters set to 1080 p/24 fps, video mode off and from 100% battery level to 0%. The data is for reference only. Always observe the warning messages in the app during the flight. [2] The aircraft must NOT be used in adverse weather conditions, e.g. strong winds over 12 m/s, snow, rain, fog, hail or thunderstorms. The aircraft must NOT be flown higher than 6,000 m above sea level. DO NOT fly the aircraft in environments with temperatures below -10 °C or above +40 °C. The aircraft must NOT take off from moving objects such as cars or boats. DO NOT fly the aircraft near reflective surfaces such as water or snow. Otherwise the vision sensors may not work properly. Only fly the aircraft in environments with good light and visibility conditions if the GNSS signal is weak. Poor lighting conditions can cause the vision sensors to work incorrectly. DO NOT fly in areas with magnetic or radio interference. Common sources of magnetic or radio interference are Wi-Fi hotspots, routers, Bluetooth devices, power lines, substations, radar stations, mobile base stations and transmission towers. Take care when taking off in the desert or on the beach so that no sand gets into the aircraft. Fly the aircraft in open terrain away from crowds. Buildings, mountains and trees can block the GNSS signal and interfere with the internal compass.
