DJI Air 3S leaks take flight as the drone king braces for looming US ban

The prospect of a ban on DJI drones in the US doesn't appear to have thrown the market-leading drone maker off its stride, with a new leak suggesting that the DJI Air 3S could be close to launching.

Reliable DJI leaker @Quadro_News has shared a two-second video on X showing a drone in flight, and tagged the video with #djiair3S (see below). The video is followed up with another post that includes a still frame taken from the video sequence: a closeup of the underside of the mystery drone, which you can also see below, and which @Quadro_News has suggested is the DJI Air 3S.

It's the first leak we've seen from a reliable source about a would-be DJI Air 3 successor, and it comes almost year after that drone – the company's most recent Air model – was announced. Given the source of the video, we think it's legitimate, although it reveals few details about a potential Air 3S, only suggesting that it's on the way.
