Users can also save the flight route for repeated flights.Users can compose their flight idea in advance and design their route to realize difficult camera movements like one-takes, lowering the operating threshold of complex camera movements. This feature can also be used for repeated flights along the same route, achieving the effect of day and night conversion or seasonal conversion effortlessly and without post-production.
Video Transmission
SO4 Video TransmissionAchieves 2T4R (six antennas) through hardware upgrades, significantly improving video transmission performance.
Supports the 2.4GHz\5.8GHz\5.1GHz frequency bands (5.1 GHz is only available in some countries and regions permitted by laws and regulations).
Max transmission distance (unobstructed, free of interference): 20 km*
* Measured in an outdoor, open environment without interference. The above data shows the farthest communication range for one-way, non-return flights. Please pay attention to RTH reminders in the DJI Fly app during your flight.
The remote controller supports up to 18Mbps 1080p/60fps real-time live view.
Video transmission system covering all possible shooting scenarios
Video transmission is the only link between the user and the drone during flight, and DJI Air 3 has a comprehensive video transmission system.
DJI Air 3 features enhanced anti-interference capabilities for video transmission. When the drone is flying long distances, at a low altitude, or through/around obstacles, the video transmission signal can be more stable and reliable, and the flight experience will be improved.
In addition, during composition and camera movement, a smooth, real-time camera view of 60fps can achieve a visual effect close to what is seen by the human eye.
Note: DJI Air 3 does not support close-range Wi-Fi video transmission.
StorageCStorageDJI Air 3 has an internal storage of 8 GB, and a microSD card can be inserted to store photos and videos.N/AN/A
Photo/Video TransferCQuickTransferDJI Air 3 allows users to quickly download photos/videos to their smartphones via Wi-Fi 5 without linking the remote controller. The max download speed is 30 MB/s.N/AWithout linking the remote controller, users can quickly and directly transfer footage stored in the aircraft to a smartphone through Wi-Fi 5, making it more convenient to store, edit, and share captured videos by smartphone.
LightCut App
Intelligent EditingLightCut uses algorithms to identify and the smoothness of camera movement and selects the clips with smooth camera movement. In addition, using visual recognition, the app cuts a long video into different short clips according to the content type, selects clips with better composition to match stunning templates and music, and then generates an awesome ready-to-share video.
In addition, the app automatically recognizes the environment to select and add appropriate sound effects, making the footage more realistic and immersive.Through algorithms, LightCut intelligently recognizes, cuts, and selects highlight moments and automatically matches appropriate templates and sound effects, helping users create impressive videos intelligently and effortlessly.1. LightCut automatically identifies and selects clips with smooth camera movement and better composition and can cut a long video into different short clips according to the content type. There's no need to choose clips individually, ensuring simple, convenient, and efficient creation.
2. The app automatically matches appropriate templates and soundtracks to save time, improving efficiency and reducing editing difficulty.
3. The app automatically adds sound effects to make the video's atmosphere more realistic.
One-Tap Effect ApplyingLightCut can apply a dynamic tilt-shift effect with one tap.Apply special effects with one tap for more eye-catching footage.Enjoy incredible effects that make your shot look miniature and toy-like with just one tap.

AccessoriesABattery Charging HubThe battery charging hub can charge up to three DJI Air 3 Intelligent Flight Batteries sequentially through a PD/PPS charger or power bank. It takes 60 minutes (with the DJI 100W USB-C Power Adapter) or 80 minutes (with the DJI 65W Car Charger) to fully charge one battery.
In addition, when there is no external device connected to the battery charging hub, you can long press the function button to trigger the power accumulation function, which will transfer the remaining power of the batteries with lower power to the battery with the highest remaining power.Fast charging.
The power accumulation feature transfers the remaining power of the batteries with lower power to the battery with the highest remaining power.The battery charging hub can quickly charge up to three batteries in sequence, facilitating more effortless and efficient charging.
With the power accumulation function, the battery charging hub can transfer the remaining power of the batteries that cannot support flying and shooting to other batteries, making full use of battery power.
