DJI fitted the Air 3S with broad suite of sensors to enable nightscape obstacle sensing, including front-facing LiDAR, downward infrared time-of-flight sensors, and a total of six vision sensors; two each on the front, rear, and bottom.

The DJI Air 3S – an immediate contender for best camera drone – is available now from DJI.com and other sellers with the RC-N3 controller (offering a 20km range) and will sell for $1099 | £959 | AU$1699 with one battery, or $1399 | £1,239 | AU$2129 as a Fly More Combo with 3 batteries, a shoulder bag, battery charging hub, and a ND filter set.

DJI have responded to the "misunderstanding" but could a bureaucrat –not a new law –be the end of DJI drones in the USA?

The new DJI Air 3S offers enhanced travel photography features, including dual cameras, nightscape technology, and omnidirectional obstacle sensing.

DJI has announced the Air 3S, an update to its existing dual-camera Air 3 mode. The Air 3S gains a larger Type 1 sensor on its main camera along with features that promise to make the drone easier to operate at night.

The photographer's favourite drone gets a bigger image sensor, smart focusing, an upgraded pano feature, and the option of cellular control. Mavic 3 Pro at risk?

The DJI Air 3S offers outstanding image quality and advanced safety features, perfect for photographers and videographers.
