DJI "Chase the View" teaser out now – is this the Air 3S drone?

DJI Teaser image 'Chase the view' 15 October 2024 event.

DJI have today sent around an event teaser with the title "Chase The View" for an event at 9AM Eastern time on 15th October – coudl this be the long awaited DJI Air 3S drone everyone is talking about?

We can't offer any evidence, as such, but a look at the image is slightly less ambiguous than some of DJI's previous teasers. Here's my analysis as the resident drone expert and DJI watcher:

We don't know there will be an Air 3S, but there have been rumors – which we have reported diligently on drone rumors and, of course, in DJI rumors!

If there was, it'd likely have two cameras, just as before, leaving space for a tri-camera system at the top of the tree (the Mavic 3 Pro – and any future replacement) and, let's face it – the framing of two 'windows' at the top of this image look A LOT like the moulding around two cameras on a DJI drone, especially the DJI Air 3.

What's really interesting is that the other part of the image looks a lot like an imaging chip. Or at least a chip with an image drawn on it, which suggests someone wants to talk about imagining chips? The Air 3 has dual 1/1.3-inch CMOS – both technically smaller than the 1-inch sensor in its predecessor.

I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions there from the artwork!

Oh, and one more thing – the DJI Air 3 is on 20% discount at the DJI store.

Now I can't say if DJI are even releasing a new drone from a teaser image – perhaps they want to talk about microchips and window frames?! It's not impossible after bike motors! But these deals do seem worth checking out given the DJI Air 3 is already one of the best drones and prices don't usually come down with new models!

Amazon aren't the only one with deals, there are more below.
