Leaked DJI Air 3S: New Sensors and Fly More Combo Revealed

A new leak has surfaced, unveiling details about the upcoming DJI Air 3S drone. The information, shared by Jasper Ellens on Twitter and corroborated by Igor Bogdanov, provides a sneak peek into the drone’s design and potential features.

Fly More Combo and Controller

The leaked photo shows the DJI Air 3S retail box, revealing that it’ll be available as part of a Fly More Combo. Interestingly, the package includes the DJI RC-N3 controller, suggesting DJI is using the same remote as the DJI Neo drone.

Advanced Sensors and Familiar Design

One of the standout features in the leaked image is the presence of a ToF (Time of Flight) sensor array on the front of the DJI Air 3S. This addition could significantly enhance the drone’s obstacle avoidance and AI tracking capabilities.

Despite these upgrades, the overall body design seems largely unchanged from the outgoing DJI Air 3. This suggests DJI is focusing on internal improvements and upgraded camera capabilities rather than a complete redesign.

DJI’s Busy Release Schedule

The Air 3S isn’t the only product in DJI’s pipeline. According to our information, we can expect:

• について DJI Neo launch on September 5
• The DJI Action 5 Pro following soon after
• The DJI Air 3S likely arriving in October

Market Impact and Expectations

While exact specs remain under wraps, the inclusion of new sensors and the familiar design have stirred excitement in the drone community. The Air 3S appears poised to build on the success of its predecessor while introducing meaningful upgrades.

DroneXL’s Take

The DJI Air 3S leak showcases DJI’s strategy of iterative improvements across its product line. This approach aligns with the industry trend towards more advanced drone technology, particularly in obstacle avoidance and imaging capabilities. Recent articles on DroneXL have highlighted similar advancements in artificial intelligence for drones, suggesting that the Air 3S could be part of a broader shift towards more intelligent and capable consumer drones.

The inclusion of the Air 3S in DJI’s busy release schedule, alongside products like the DJI Neo and Action 5 Pro, indicates the company’s commitment to innovation across various drone and camera categories. This multi-product strategy could help DJI maintain its dominant position in the consumer drone market.
