Air 3S Released - Two Features I really wanted!

[ryguy80]

Yes I read this story early this morning and it answered my question of why, for the first time, the drone isn’t available anywhere other than their website. There are even individual orders direct from the DJI website that are being held up at customs for 30 days. YouTuber OriginaldoBo put out a video explaining why he didn’t put out an Air 3S video on the release date, and it was because his drone (which was shipped to him via DHL Express on around October 3 or 4) is STILL being held up at customs over at Florida.

I’m supposed to get my Air 3S on October 23rd from DHL. I’ll color myself shocked if I actually receive it on that date.

Mine is already in the hands of DHL and has departed the origin facility at Dongguan, and it is supposed to be delivered on Monday. I will be just as shocked if i have it in my hands on Monday. Will keep you guys posted haha

The much-anticipated Air 3S was just released an hour ago and I am sure we all know all the specs by now.

However, reading about the drone on DJI’s website, I noticed two unexpected features that I really wanted to have when I got my Air 3 and felt they should have been there!

The first one is called Free Panorama. This seems like an incredibly powerful feature that allows you to take custom panoramas yourself and then have the drone stitch it automatically! More importantly, this opens up limitless opportunities for panoramas on the telephoto lens! Currently with the Ajr 3, as we all know, you can only do a 360 panorama and it does not stitch them in the drone. With Free Panorama, you can stitch as many or as few photos as you want with the telephoto lens!

The second feature is an update to the Vision Assist which finally ALLOWS THE DOWNWARD FACING CAMERA TO BE SEEN! This is revolutionary! No longer will I need to constantly tilt down my main camera to see what is underneath me. With this new Vision Assist, I can see under my drone the entire flight if I want to, while never needing to tilt down my gimbal.

The best part is that these are software upgrades, meaning if DJI pleases, they can absolutely implement these two features for the Air 3 and maybe even the Mini 4 Pro.

Thanks for these. I knew about Free Panorama but not vision assist. Can't wait to try it out.
