The set of photos also offers a first look at the DJI Air 3’s dual camera setup, with the lens cover removed. This exposes two lenses, mounting screws, and slots for attaching the lens cover or DJI’s ND filters – perfect for capturing smooth cinematic aerial footage.

A comparative photo featuring the DJI Air 3 and the DJI Mavic 3 side by side reveals a surprising similarity in size between the two drones.

The DJI Air 3 seems to sport a slightly lighter gray color, much like its predecessor, the DJI Air 2S, and the drones in DJI’s mini series, while the DJI Mavic 3 presents a slightly darker gray hue.

As for the drone’s rear, two air vents are visible, along with a micro SD card slot and a USB-C port. The back also houses the battery, an on/off button, and four battery status indicator LEDs.

The DJI Air 3 is rumored to come with 8GB of internal storage, which will come in handy if you ever forget to bring your micro SD card.

As the drone world eagerly awaits the DJI Air 3’s official release, these leaks provide tantalizing glimpses into what users can expect from this exciting new drone.
