The DJI Air 3 introduced dual primary cameras to DJI’s mid-tier line, and this page is the specification reference for it: weight, camera system, transmission, and how it sits next to the Air 3S that replaced it.

Two real cameras, not one with a crop

The Air 3’s headline feature is its dual-camera system: a 1/1.3-inch wide-angle camera at a 24mm equivalent focal length and F1.7 aperture, paired with a second 1/1.3-inch sensor at a 70mm equivalent 3x telephoto and F2.8 aperture. Both cameras shoot 48MP photos, and because the telephoto is a second real sensor rather than a digital crop, switching between them changes perspective the way switching lenses would.

Weight and registration

At 720 grams, the Air 3 sits well above the 250-gram threshold that exempts a drone from US recreational registration, so Air 3 pilots register the aircraft and fly under Remote ID like any other drone in this weight class.

Where the Air 3 sits today

DJI has since released the Air 3S with a larger 1-inch primary sensor, and it is now the current model in this line. The original Air 3 remains a genuinely capable dual-camera drone, and it’s worth comparing current pricing on both before deciding which one to buy. See the DJI Air 3 hub for ongoing coverage of both generations.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the DJI Air 3 weigh?

720 grams, above the 250-gram threshold that decides US recreational registration, so Air 3 pilots register the aircraft and follow Remote ID rules regardless of how they fly it.

What makes the Air 3's camera system different from a single-camera drone?

Dual primary cameras rather than one sensor with digital zoom. A 1/1.3-inch wide camera at a 24mm equivalent focal length pairs with a second 1/1.3-inch camera at a 70mm equivalent 3x telephoto, so the tele shot is a real optical perspective change, not a crop.

Should I buy the Air 3 or the newer Air 3S?

The Air 3S succeeded the Air 3 and is DJI's current model in this line, with a larger 1-inch primary sensor. The original Air 3 remains a capable dual-camera drone and can be worth considering if it's discounted below current Air 3S pricing, but check our Air 3S coverage for the newer model's specs before deciding.
