The FCC documentation for the Air 3S is now available here.

Oh sweet, it's my next drone. Hoping for a good telephoto camera.

Imagine a prism-based design that could select between either lens and project it on a 1" sensor.

That would be cool. Fantasies often are 🤣
 
YES! Not sure the time frame between FCC info and release, but things are moving forward. I am thinking that they will wait at least a few weeks after the release of the action camera, to stagger their product releases.
 
I just got a replacement Air 3 now almost new ! Oh well anyone want an almost new Air 3 ?
Surely this will compete with the Mavic Pro ? Air 3 the better airframe
Anyone any idea on the weight ?
 
Take a look at DJI Website. It looks like a Pro drone will be announced Thursday
Osmo Action 5 Pro

if it takes the same batteries as my Air 3 like the Air2 did for the Air 2s i will be ecstatic.
I was almost certain the Air 3S would use Air 3 batteries. However, after seeing this post, I’m not so sure.
The specs for the Air 3S in that FCC tag state the battery as being rated at 14.6V and 4276mA for a power rating of 62.5W. However, the current Air 3 batteries are rated at 14.76V and 4241mA for a power rating of 62.6W.
Extremely similar ratings, and if the form factor and internal design is the same, the batteries should be interchangeable between the Air 3 and the Air 3S. However, because they are not exact, this is not for certain as of yet.

For reference, the same FCC tag for the Air 3:

Also for reference, this FCC tag was released a few weeks before the official Air 3 release. If that timeline stays similar, the 3S should be coming out within the next 2-4 weeks. Let’s see!

Been waiting for this to happen with A3s, pilots selling their almost new A3. Prior to A3S release DJI reduced the price of the A3 so a used one would be an affordable upgrade for my A2. Also, the A3 remote is compatible with the NEO I'm planning on getting.

Oh I am salivating.

I was curious about where the photos were taken. Does China have steering wheels on the left side of a motor vehicle or on the other side, otherwise known as the wrong side? I ask this as a picture shows it in the left side and the laptop has presumably Chinese language displayed. Although I am just guessing.

Nice pictures. Any pics with a release date emblazoned somewhere in the frame?
