Drone enthusiasts, get ready for the latest addition to DJI’s lineup. Pricing details for the upcoming DJI Air 3S have been leaked by Igor Bogdanov on X (formerly Twitter), giving us a sneak peek at what to expect from this new model.

Pricing Breakdown

The leaked information reveals three different configurations for the DJI Air 3S:

DJI AIR 3S DJI RC-N3: $1,045 USD
DJI AIR 3S FLY MORE COMBO DJI RC-N3: $1,310 USD
DJI AIR 3S FLY MORE COMBO DJI RC 2: $1,494 USD

These prices are converted from the Australian dollar amounts provided in the original post.

What’s New?

While specific details about the DJI Air 3S‘s features aren’t included in this leak, the drone is an upgrade to the popular DJI Air 3. The “S” designation typically indicates incremental improvements in DJI’s product line.

Combo Options

The pricing structure reveals two “Fly More Combo” options, which usually include additional batteries, props, and accessories. The difference between the RC-N3 and RC 2 combos relates to the included controller, with the RC 2 being a more advanced option with a built-in display.

Market Positioning

With a starting price of $1,045, the DJI Air 3S appears to be positioning itself in the mid-range consumer drone market. It’s likely to offer a balance of features and affordability that appeals to both hobbyists and prosumers.

DroneXL’s Take

The introduction of the DJI Air 3S continues DJI’s trend of rapid innovation in the consumer drone space. This new model could potentially bridge the gap between the Air and Mavic series, offering enhanced capabilities at a competitive price point.

As we’ve seen with previous releases like the DJI Neo and the DJI Mini 4 Pro, the Chinese drone maker DJI consistently pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in compact, user-friendly drones.

The Air 3S is likely to incorporate some of the latest advancements in drone technology, possibly including improved camera sensors, longer flight times, or enhanced obstacle avoidance systems.
