Frequently asked questions

Compared with DJI Air 3, what are the main improvements of DJI Air 3S?⌄

Compared to the DJI Air 3, DJI Air 3S has comprehensive improvements in the camera system, vision sensing system, intelligent features, and video transmission system.

The main improvements include:

1. DJI Air 3S is equipped with an upgraded 1-inch CMOS primary camera, utilising a new image-processing platform with a video dynamic range of up to 14 stops*. It supports up to 4K/120fps video recording**. Additionally, its wide-angle and medium tele cameras support the new Free Panorama feature, which allows flexible shooting-range selections.

2. DJI Air 3S features new forward-facing LiDAR, supporting nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing*** and next-gen Smart RTH. It can actively identify and avoid obstacles, such as buildings along the flight and return paths, ensuring safer urban nightscape photography. It can also memorise flight paths in well-lit conditions, enabling quick takeoffs and safe returns even without satellite signals****.

3. DJI Air 3S adopts the O4 video transmission system, offering more stable signals, stronger anti-interference capabilities, and better image quality.

* 14 stops of dynamic range are achievable for video on Auto mode but not for vertical or slow-motion video.

** 4K/120fps video recording is only supported in Slow Motion mode.

*** This feature is only effective on surfaces with discernible textures and in lighting conditions exceeding 1 lux. Refer to the official DJI website or the product's user manual for details.

**** This feature is only effective on surfaces with discernible textures and in lighting conditions exceeding 10 lux. Refer to the official DJI website or the product's user manual for details.

What combos are available for the DJI Air 3S and what are the differences between them?⌄

Three options are available for DJI Air 3S. These are:

• DJI Air 3S & RC-N3: Includes the standard DJI RC-N3 remote controller. Use your smartphone to check the live feed and flight status.

• DJI Air 3S & RC-N3 Fly More Combo: Includes the DJI RC-N3 remote controller, an ND filter set, two additional batteries, a battery charging hub, a shoulder bag, and more.

• DJI Air 3S & RC 2 Fly More Combo: Includes DJI RC 2 with a 5.5-inch 1080p 700-nit high-bright screen, an ND filter set, two additional batteries, a battery charging hub, a shoulder bag, and more.

How do I activate DJI Air 3S?⌄

With DJI RC-N3:

Connect your mobile device (connected to the internet) with the remote controller, and then connect to DJI Air 3S via the DJI Fly app. Follow the instructions in the app to activate DJI Air 3S.

With DJI RC 2:

When using DJI RC 2 for the first time, connect to the internet via Wi-Fi or a smartphone hotspot, and then follow the instructions in the DJI Fly app to activate the device. After activating DJI RC 2, connect it with DJI Air 3S via the DJI Fly app, and then follow the instructions in the app to activate the aircraft.

Is DJI Air 3S waterproof?⌄

No. Avoid contact with water during use, as it may damage the device.

If it rains during the flight, return and land as soon as possible, and wait until the aircraft is fully dry inside and out before using it again.

What app do I need to install before using DJI Air 3S?⌄

DJI Air 3S can only be used with the DJI Fly app. You can download the latest version of DJI Fly from the DJI Air 3S Downloads page on the official DJI website.

If you use DJI RC 2 as the remote controller, it comes with the pre-installed DJI Fly app.

Does DJI Air 3S support vertical shooting?⌄

Both the wide-angle camera and medium tele camera support vertical shooting (9:16), and a max video resolution is 2.7K/60fps.

Which remote controllers are compatible with DJI Air 3S?⌄

DJI Air 3S currently supports the following controllers:

DJI RC Pro 2

DJI RC 2

DJI RC-N3

DJI RC-N2

How do I update the firmware of DJI Air 3S?⌄

When the aircraft is connected to the remote controller and a new firmware version is available, the DJI Fly app will send you a firmware update prompt. You can follow the instructions to update the firmware for the aircraft, remote controller, battery, and other devices.

You can also update via the DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series) software on a computer.

The latest version of the software can be downloaded from the DJI Air 3S Downloads page on the official DJI website.

Please be aware that certain factors can lead to an update failure, such as:

1. The battery level of the aircraft or remote controller is below 20%.

2. The aircraft or the remote controller is powered off during an update. If this happens, restart the aircraft and remote controller and try again.

3. The network is disconnected during a firmware download.

4. Your smartphone interface is switched to other apps during a firmware download.

The aircraft will restart multiple times during an update and automatically power off after completing the update.
