The DJI Air 3 features dual main cameras — a wide 24mm and a 3x tele 70mm — both using 1/1.3-inch sensors, with 46-minute flight time, omnidirectional obstacle sensing, and DJI O4 transmission up to 20km.

No built-in storage requires a microSD card — at 4K/60fps 10-bit, you need a fast V60 or higher card to avoid dropped frames.
Source: Amazon.ca reviewerThe Air 3 is the best drone for aerial videographers who want genuine dual-camera flexibility and the longest flight time available. The Advanced RPAS certification requirement is a real consideration for Canadian buyers — if you're not willing to get certified, the Mini 4 Pro is the better choice. For pilots who are already certified or willing to become certified, the Air 3's dual cameras and 46-minute endurance are worth the premium.
