DJI\u2019s drones dominate<\/span> the market to such an extent that you barely hear any other brands\u00a0mentioned. They’re not quite competing with themselves, but the DJI Air 3 does fill a gap between the professional-grade Mavic series and the pocket-size Mini range. It’s the first new Air model since 2021\u2019s Air 2S<\/a>, and DJI has done it again, with a drone that offers enhanced video performance and mercifully stress-free flying.<\/p>\n

I’ve been flying the DJI Air 3 for the past few months, comparing it with a range of other drones<\/a>, including its main competitor, the superb Air 2S<\/a>. The biggest improvement over its older cousin is a multi-camera setup previously exclusive to the much pricier Mavic<\/a> models, but there are notable boosts to battery life and flight safety too.<\/p>\n

Twice as Nice<\/h2>\n

The headline feature for the DJI Air 3 is the two cameras mounted on its front gimbal. There’s a \u201cstandard\u201d wide-angle camera offering a 24-mm-equivalent field of view (broadly similar to the camera on the Air 2S) and a medium-telephoto camera offering a 70-mm-equivalent field of view. The latter gives the drone a brand-new creative option, with the angle allowing for a narrower framing of smaller subjects and the ability to isolate them against the background in an all-new, dramatic way. A tighter field of view might not sound all that exciting, but in practice it\u2019s a significant upgrade.<\/p>\n
