6. DJI Air 3S increases the video ISO limits: the maximum ISO in normal color mode is raised from 6,400 to 12,800***, and in D-Log M and HLG color modes, the maximum ISO is increased from 1,600 to 3,200.

* 14 stops of dynamic range are achievable for video on Auto mode but not for vertical or slow-motion video.
** Only supported in Slow Motion mode.
*** The maximum ISO for slow-motion video remains at 6,400.

Remote Controller

How do I adjust the antennas of the remote controller?

Keep the antennas facing the aircraft during flight for optimal transmission.

Which remote controllers are compatible with DJI Air 3S?

DJI Air 3S currently supports two remote controllers: DJI RC-N3 and DJI RC 2.

Does DJI RC 2 support quick charging?

Yes. The USB-C port supports up to 9V/3A power input (with a 9V/3A charger). It takes 1.5 hours at the fastest speed to fully charge the battery.

How do I customize button functions of DJI RC 2?

You can customize the C1/C2 button of DJI RC 2 in the DJI Fly app for more convenient control.

Does DJI RC 2 support installing third-party apps?

No.

Video Transmission

Does the max transmission distance of the O4 video transmission system vary according to the interference level of the environment?

In different environments, the wireless interference level is different, and the max transmission distance will vary.

Unobstructed:
Strong Interference: Urban landscape, approx. 1.5-4 km
Medium Interference: Suburban landscape, approx. 4-10 km
Low Interference: Suburb/Seaside, approx. 10-20 km

Obstructed:
Low Interference and Obstructed by Buildings: Approx. 0-0.5 km
Low Interference and Obstructed by Trees: Approx. 0.5-3 km

Measured under FCC standard in obstructed or unobstructed environments with typical interference. Used for reference purposes only and provides no guarantee for actual transmission distance.

What do I need to operate the DJI 4G Dongle legally in the UK?

To operate a drone fitted with a DJI 4G Dongle in the UK you must:
1. Apply for an Ofcom UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) Licence.
2. Seek written permission for airborne use of mobile network user equipment and use a network SIM card specifically authorised for 4G UAS operations, if directed by the network.
Further details are referenced in Ofcom licensing guidance.
Depending on the weight of your drone, you may need to register as an operator and obtain an operator ID from the CAA. To apply for an operator ID, visit the CAA website: Registering a drone or model aircraft | UK Civil Aviation Authority.

How do I apply for an Ofcom UAS licence in the UK?

For the Ofcom UAS Licence, visit the Ofcom website: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/spectrum/radio-equipment/licensing-process-applications
Ensure you meet all requirements and guidelines provided by these authorities.

Can I use a standard network SIM for 4G Dongle operations in the UK?

No, a standard network SIM is not compliant with the legal requirements for operating the 4G Dongle in the UK. You must obtain a dedicated SIM authorised for UAS operations through your network provider.

Firmware Update

How do I update the firmware of DJI Air 3S?

When the aircraft is connected to the remote controller and a new firmware version is available, the DJI Fly app will send you a firmware update prompt. You can follow the instructions to update the firmware for the aircraft, remote controller, battery, and other devices.
You can also update via the DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series) software on a computer. The latest version of the software can be downloaded from the DJI Air 3S Downloads page on the official DJI website.

What factors can lead to an update failure?

1. The battery level of the aircraft or remote controller is below 20%.
2. The aircraft or the remote controller is powered off during an update. If this happens, restart the aircraft and remote controller and try again.
3. The network is disconnected during a firmware download.
4. Your smartphone interface is switched to other apps during a firmware download.
The aircraft will restart multiple times during an update and automatically power off after completing the update.

Accessories

What functions does the DJI Air 3 Series Battery Charging Hub support?

The Battery Charging Hub supports the new power accumulation and external discharge functions.
Power Accumulation: When you insert two or more batteries, you can long-press the function button to initiate the process where lower-charged batteries transfer their power to the higher-charged one. This helps concentrate the remaining power, providing you with longer effective flight time.
External Discharge: The battery's power can be output through the USB-C port to devices such as smartphones and tablets at up to 82 watts.

* Do not connect the charger, connect external devices, or insert/remove any batteries during power accumulation.

Can I use other USB-C chargers to charge the battery?

Yes. However, to ensure charging efficiency, we recommended using the DJI 65W Portable Charger, DJI 100W USB-C Power Adapter, or other chargers with a power output of 60 watts or above that support the PD protocol.

Which DJI Air 3 accessories can be used with DJI Air 3S?

DJI Air 3S is compatible with the DJI Air 3 Low-Noise Propellers, DJI Air 3 Battery Charging Hub, and DJI Air 3 Intelligent Flight Battery*.
For details, refer to the product compatibility list for the corresponding accessories at the official online DJI Store.

* Note: When using the DJI Air 3 Intelligent Flight Battery, DJI Air 3S does not support the Off-State QuickTransfer feature.
