DJI Air 3 RC-N2 Overview
New and enhanced features of the make it even easier for content creators to capture complex and high-quality professional footage. The Air 3 now incorporates a dual-camera system, with a wide-angle lens and 3x medium telephoto lenses for both focusing on subjects and capturing sweeping landscapes. Both have larger 1/1.3" CMOS sensors that are able to capture 48MP images, video up to 4K100, and even 2.7K social media-ready vertical video. Controlling it all is the RC-N2 remote with access to the improved 12.4-mile O4 video transmission system. The remote is joined by an assortment of Fly More Combo accessories that help to enhance and extend your day of flying and filming. All of this and more can be taken almost anywhere with the Air 3's foldable design.
Stunning Professional Video
Video up to 4K100 is possible, in addition to 4K60 when adding HDR, and 2.7K vertical videos. The 2.4 m pixel size is incorporated into each of the two cameras for improved low-light performance, and two color modes are available for speedier post-processing. The 10-bit D-Log M retains more highlights and details in captured footage for more flexibility when editing, and 10-bit HLG retains a higher dynamic range for excellent results without the need for color grading.
2.7K Vertical Video
Both the wide-angle and the 3x telephoto cameras are capable of recording clips in 2.7K with vertical orientation. By saving video directly to this aspect ratio, you save a ton of time in cropping, as each clip is immediately ready for sharing on social media platforms.
Flight Modes
Using pre-programmed flight modes, beginners can find it easier to execute complex aerial movements and tracking shots, making their footage look much more professional with minimal effort. Professionals also benefit by applying the time they save in execution to other aspects of the shoot or by adding additional shots. The DJI Air 3 provides four different flight modes:
- FocusTrack: Uses the obstacle avoidance system to stay safe, as it keeps subjects centered in the frame using the 3x telephoto camera.
- QuickShots: Select from several pre-programmed camera movements to add creativity to your video: Rocket, Dronie, Circle, Helix, Boomerang, and Asteroid.
- MasterShots: Fast and easy cinematic footage is possible with automatic complex camera movements, in addition to editing clips with music, transitions, and effects.
- Hyperlapse: Select from Free, Circle, Course Lock, and Waypoint to capture time-lapse video at up to 4K (horizontally) or 2.7K (vertically). Waypoint is new to the Air 3, letting you plan flight routes and drone actions in advance. These routes are repeatable, making it possible to achieve day-to-night or season-to-season transitions.
Night Mode
Use this mode to capture noise-free footage at up to 4K30 resolution in low-light conditions.
APAS 5.0 Obstacle Avoidance
Built-in sensors automatically detect obstacles in any direction during flight. When an object is detected, APAS 5.0 takes over to smoothly fly around the obstacle to avoid an accident.
Smart RTH
When triggered to come home, the Air 3 can automatically plot an optimized flight route back to base while using the obstacle avoidance system to keep it safe along the way.
Fly More Combo
For pilots that want to be well equipped right out of the box, this Fly More Combo version of the Air 3 upgrades the remote controller and adds additional essential accessories when compared to the standard version. You get an Air 3 battery charging hub, two extra intelligent flight batteries, three extra pair of low-noise propellers, and a shoulder bag.
