Our editorial take on the DJI Air 3S Drone with RC 2 Fly More Combo
The DJI Air 3S represents a significant maturation of the Air series, elevating it from a capable mid-tier option to a genuine powerhouse for serious creators. The headline feature is undoubtedly the dual-camera system, which combines a large 1-inch sensor on the wide-angle camera with a genuinely useful 3x medium telephoto lens. This pairing provides outstanding creative flexibility, allowing for dynamic shots that were previously the domain of much more expensive drones. The image quality is superb, delivering the detail and dynamic range expected from a larger sensor, especially in challenging low-light situations.
Beyond the excellent optics, the Air 3S is a well-rounded and refined flying machine. The inclusion of professional video codecs like 10-bit D-Log M makes it a viable tool for professional workflows, offering ample latitude for color grading. DJI has also improved the flight safety systems with more comprehensive obstacle avoidance that even functions more reliably in dimmer conditions. While it might be more drone than a casual user needs, for prosumers and professionals looking for a blend of portability, power, and performance, the Air 3S hits a sweet spot. The Fly More Combo, in particular, offers a complete and compelling package that's ready for demanding work right out of the box.
