Enhanced Safety Features

The DJI Air 3S is rumored to include LiDAR technology on the front, improving low-light safety.

Jasper Ellens mentioned, “A little bird told me the launch of the DJI Air 3S is Oct. 23 (note: it is rumored to be the 15th). It has a 1″ CMOS sensor 24 mm and a 1/1.3″ Tele 70 mm. ISO ratings have improved from 6000 to a mind bobbling 12.800. To improve low light safety it is indeed LiDAR on front. And a secret I’ll tell tomorrow. Cheers.”

DroneXL’s Take

The DJI Air 3S, set to launch on October 15th, appears to be a significant upgrade in the Air series, potentially bridging the gap between consumer and prosumer drones. The improved camera sensors, extended flight time, and innovative control methods could make it a game-changer in the Industri Drone.

This release aligns with the trend we’ve seen in drone technology advancements, where manufacturers are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with consumer-grade drones. The inclusion of LiDAR technology for improved safety is particularly noteworthy, as it addresses one of the key concerns in drone operations.

The DJI RC Track concept, if implemented well, could open up new possibilities for content creators and hobbyists alike. It reminds us of the advancements we’ve seen in drone AI and tracking capabilities, which have been making drones more accessible and versatile for a wider range of users.
