Introduction
Next to the 70 mm telephoto camera and a new front facing liar for safe of flying in low light environment. Here are my first Music impressions, you’re watching cinity, supported by BampH and CVP. Now, before we get this started, let me State clearly that this is in no way a full review. It’s really just a first look at the DJI a3s, which I took out to a beautiful Maiden flight, but more on that later, before we dive in let’s.
DJI’s Foldable Drone Lineup
Take a look at DJI’s lineup of foldable drones and how they’re positioned with regards to their capabilities and where the new A3S will actually fit in. At the lower end of their lineup, there’s still a new DJI Neo, which is clearly an entry-level drone that delivers okay quality video for amateurs and can be flown in lots of places due to its ultra-low weight of 135 g.
Next is the DJI Mini 3, which shoots better video and photos and can also be flown in many places without permissions because it weighs only 249 g. However, I think the Mini 3 might be discontinued eventually, as we actually have a DJI Mini 4 Pro, but no normal Mini 4 drone. I guess the Neo is taking that entry-level spot now, and the weight and size differences between the Mini 4 Pro and the Neo actually give them a better separation in the market between the two entry-level drones than the Mini 3 and the Mini 3 Pro had before.
The DJI Air 3S
In the middle of DJI’s lineup of foldable drones up until now, there’s the DJI Air 3 sitting right above the Mini 4. Now, DJI has introduced the new DJI Air 3S, which promises to be an allrounder drone suitable for a wide range of users and scenarios. With its 70 mm telephoto camera and enhanced front-facing sensors for safe flying in low light environments, the Air 3S is set to deliver excellent performance and versatility.
The new DJI Air 3S is positioned to offer superior video and photo quality compared to its predecessors, making it a great choice for enthusiasts and professionals alike. With improved stability and control features, the Air 3S promises to be a reliable and efficient drone for capturing stunning aerial footage.
First Impressions
During my first flight with the DJI Air 3S, I was impressed by its ease of use and smooth handling. The drone responded well to commands and provided a stable flight experience even in challenging conditions. The camera quality was exceptional, capturing clear and crisp images from various heights and angles.
Overall, I believe that the DJI Air 3S has the
The DJI Air 3S A Game Changer in Drone Photography
The DJI Air 3S has caused a stir in the drone photography world with its impressive features and capabilities. One of the standout features of this drone is its beautiful 70mm telephoto lens, providing users with a different perspective when capturing images and videos.
A Closer Look at the Camera
The main camera on the DJI Air 3S is a 24-megapixel sensor, the same one found on the Mini 4 Pro. While some users may have been disappointed by this, DJI made a smart move by incorporating a new 1-inch sensor for the main camera on the Air 3S. This upgrade offers better low-light capabilities and overall image quality, bridging the gap between the smaller sensor and the high-end sensors found in drones like the Mavic 3 Pro.
Image Quality and Rendition
The DJI Air 3S does not disappoint when it comes to image quality. With the new 1-inch sensor, users can expect exceptional photos and videos with improved detail and clarity. The images captured with this drone showcase a high level of color accuracy and sharpness, making them perfect for professional use.
Video Capabilities
When it comes to video recording, the DJI Air 3S shines. Both the main camera and the telephoto lens deliver stunning video quality, whether you’re shooting landscapes or capturing action shots. The drone offers 10-bit Dlog-M and full manual camera controls, giving users the flexibility to customize their footage according to their preferences.
Enhanced Low Light Capabilities
Although the low light capabilities of the a3s have not been thoroughly tested yet, it is evident that it will outperform its predecessor, the air3. With a larger 1-inch sensor, the new model offers 50 megapixels in Photo mode and up to 4K resolution with 60 frames per second in HDR and 4K 120 for high-speed recordings.
Improved Obstacle Sensing Technology
Unique to a DJI drone, the forward phasing laser sensor, along with camera sensors and downward-facing infrared sensors, allows the Drone to navigate through obstacles even in low light and near darkness. This advanced obstacle-sensing technology also enables a new smart return-to-home feature, ensuring a safe and obstacle-free return path for the Drone.
Built-In Storage and Connectivity
The a3s comes equipped with 42GB of built-in storage, eliminating the need for a Micro SD card for recording. This ample storage provides approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes of recording time at 4K resolution and 25 frames per second in h.265. Additionally, connecting the Drone to a computer is now hassle-free, as the internal storage appears as an external drive even when the Drone is powered off.
High-Quality Recording
The DJI Air 3S records in the very efficient H.265 codec at a maximum of 130 megabits per second and a max resolution of 4K. Some might be used to recording in the Mavic 3 Pro’s Cine 5K resolution with a built-in 1TB SSD, but the H.265 output of the Air 3S is also beautiful and broadcast-ready. The compression seems to hold up well, even in low-light environments.
Professional-Grade Video Images
The DJI Air 3S drone is a great choice for those looking to produce professional-grade video images with a drone. It performs well in low-light situations and provides excellent quality footage. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of the high-end Mavic 3 Pro, it definitely serves its purpose.
Upgrade Potential
The DJI Air 3S might be compared to the newest iPhone while last year’s model is still great and does everything you need, there are a few innovations in the newer model that make it worth the upgrade for some users. Similarly, the Air 3S offers the best safety features, including a built-in LIDAR sensor, making it suitable for beginners as well.
