Key Features

Enhanced Camera for Travel Shots - Air 3S's 1" CMOS primary camera delivers breathtaking shots with enriched detail in low-light scenarios like sunsets and nightscapes.
Capture Footage with Vibrant Detail - Record cinematic 4K/60fps HDR video with up to 14 stops of dynamic range [4] to see intricate cloud textures and other details during sunrise and sunset.

Next-Gen Smart Return-To-Home - Powerful upgraded algorithms allow the Air 3S to intelligently select the optimal RTH route and quickly fly back to the Home Point, even in weak GPS signal areas. [6]
Extended Flight & Video Transmission - Enjoy greater creative freedom with a 45-min max flight time [2] and 20km of video transmission, [3] giving you time to scout locations, nail your shot, and return to home.
