WinFuture, a website known for its early DJI releases, was the source of these leaked images.

The rumors that had been circulating about the DJI Air 3 were confirmed with this leak. DJI wasn’t just planning to launch the new drone but also two new controllers: the DJI RC 2 equipped with a built-in display and the display-less DJI RC-N2.

The pictures showcased the main selling point of the DJI Air 3 – its dual-camera system. DJI’s integration of two sensors in the camera is similar to what we have seen in the more expensive Mavic 3 series. The specs of the cameras are unknown at this point in time.

Notably, though, DJI Air 3 lacks the partnership with Swedish camera Specialist Hasselblad seen in the Mavic 3 models, as evidenced by the missing Hasselblad logo on the Air 3’s camera unit.

DJI Air 3 Battery

Another upgrade was visible in the photos: a beefier battery. The DJI Air 3 boasts a battery capacity of 4241mAh, or 62.6 watt-hours, which is a hefty 30% increase from the Air 2 and Air 2S. This enhancement should notably extend the total flight time of the new drone.

Similarly to the DJI Mavic 3 series, the battery of the DJI Air 3 will load from the back and not from the top as was the case with the older DJI Air 2S.

DJI Air 3 Pricing

Despite the speculation, there doesn’t seem to be a “drone-only” package for the DJI Air 3. Instead, DJI intends to pair it with one fo two different controllers, the DJI RC 2 or the DJI RC-N2.

Furthermore, they plan to offer various bundles, including a Fly-More-Combo that provides two extra batteries and other add-ons.

Prices for the DJI Air 3 have already surfaced due to an inadvertent listing by Amazon UK. The DJI Air 3 with the RC-N2 controller is tagged at £962 ($1,212 USD).

The DJI Air 3 Fly More Combo with the DJI RC-N2 controller comes in at £1,199 ($1,510 USD), while the same Combo with the RC 2 controller is priced at £1,379 ($1,736 USD).

In conclusion, the DJI Air 3, with its new dual-camera system and enhanced battery life, promises to be a worthy, budget-friendly addition to the drone market.

And the DJI Air 3 will likely be the very best value drone for almost any drone enthusiast. We can’t wait to get our hands on one!
