DroneXL’s Take

This leak of the DJI Air 3S shows DJI’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of consumer Drone Technology. The upgraded cameras, especially the new 1-inch main sensor, put this drone in line with more professional models.

The increased internal storage is a particularly welcome addition, addressing a common pain point for many drone users. It’s clear that DJI is listening to user feedback and making meaningful improvements.

As we await the official announcement, it’ll be interesting to see how these upgrades translate to real-world performance. Will the Air 3S bridge the gap between consumer and prosumer drones? Let us know your thoughts on this exciting new drone in the comments below.
