Score 20% off on DJI Air 3 with RC 2 in limited-time deal

Tech giant DJI is not one to slow down. After releasing the Osmo Action 5 Pro camera and ultra-affordable Neo drone over the summer, the company seems poised for another major release. With the rumored unveiling of the DJI Air 3S just around the corner, you can now grab the DJI Air 3 at a 20% discount during the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days. Here’s what you need to know about the buzz surrounding DJI’s latest drone leak and why the Air 3 might still be worth a second look.

Leaks from reputable sources such as Jasper Ellens and Igor Bogdanov indicate that DJI is set to release the Air 3S, a successor to the Air 3, sometime this month. Likely priced at under $1,500 for the Fly More Combo with an RC 2 remote, the Air 3S appears to cost over $250 more than the current Air 3 Fly More Combo.

The leaks have already given us a glimpse into some of the possible features of Air 3S, including a dual-camera setup with a 24mm main lens and a 70mm tele lens. Additionally, a snap-on wide-angle lens attachment will provide more versatility for aerial photographers and videographers. These features put the Air 3S in direct competition with DJI’s Mavic series, making it a hybrid between consumer and prosumer models.

In addition to the upgraded camera, the Air 3S is expected to feature enhanced safety features as well. Speculation points to a new front sensor bar that could house LiDAR or infrared technology, offering better obstacle avoidance and safer autonomous flights. These improvements will be especially beneficial for those looking to use the new DJI drone in more complex environments or for commercial purposes.

The leaked information about an Air 3S Fly More Combo with ND filters is equally compelling. For approximately $1,492, buyers will get the Air 3S drone, the RC2 controller, three batteries, a charging hub, ND filters, spare propellers, and a carrying case. The inclusion of ND filters (with strengths of 8, 32, and 128) is a nice touch for photographers and videographers, as these accessories will allow for better control over exposure settings, especially in bright conditions.

So, what about the Air 3? Well, with the Air 3S on the horizon, DJI has slashed the price of the Air 3 by 20%, offering an attractive discount for those not ready to invest in the newer model. The Air 3 is still a powerful drone with solid camera capabilities and reliable flight performance, making it an excellent choice for hobbyists and casual drone users. If you’ve been on the fence about buying the Air 3, now might be the perfect time to make the leap.

Videographers appreciate Air 3’s 10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit D-Log HLG support, which captures accurate color information and high dynamic range, even before color grading. With up to 46 minutes of flight time and the option to extend that with the Fly More Combo’s extra batteries, the Air 3 offers plenty of time aloft. It also boasts omnidirectional obstacle sensing, DJI’s O4 HD video transmission system, and compatibility with FPV headsets like the Goggles Integra and V2, making it a versatile tool for both enthusiasts and professionals.
