  • Extended flight time: Up to 45 minutes thanks to a beefier 4276mAh battery
  • Advanced features: APAS 5.0 obstacle avoidance and new intelligent flight modes

Pricing Expectations

Word is the Fly More Combo might land around 1,359 euros (about $1,445). Budget-conscious pilots might have a 1,159 euro option with the RC-N3 controller.

DroneXL’s Take

The October 15th launch of the DJI Air 3S could be a pivotal moment in drone technology. It’s bridging the gap between consumer and pro-level drones, potentially reshaping the aerial photography landscape.

Recent drone photography trends suggest a growing demand for more versatile, powerful cameras in compact drones. If the Air 3S delivers on its promises, it could set a new standard for what we expect from consumer-grade drones.
