DJI Air 3S review: a next-level aeronautical masterpiece with LiDAR-based obstacle avoidance

DJI Air 3S in flight against blue sky.

To be honest, I first thought the new DJI Air 3S was going to be just another iteration of a predecessor with perhaps one or two small upgrades to entice new buyers or encourage existing owners to trade in and upgrade. After all, T3’s guide to the best drones is already stuffed to the rafters with an almost embarrassingly large assemblage of DJI models that are all very similar. Well, I was wrong.

Yes, the Air 3S looks pretty much like most other DJI drones – especially those in the Mavic series – and, yes, it sports the same angular – dare I say unattractive – design and drab grey colour scheme. However, digging deeper into its specs and features unearths a wealth of tempting new features that might just make the Air 3S the best DJI drone ever!
