The DJI Air 3S sits in an unusual spot in DJI's 2026 lineup — heavier and pricier than the pocketable Mini 5 Pro, but built around a genuine dual-camera system that the Mini series still doesn't offer. If you're deciding whether it's worth the jump, here's the real price in India, exactly what's in the box, the full spec sheet, and how it stacks up against the rest of DJI's current range.
DJI Air 3S price in India
Hobitech sells the DJI Air 3S as the Fly More Combo with DJI RC 2 — this is the only configuration currently offered, and it's the one most buyers want since it bundles the extra batteries and accessories you'd otherwise have to buy separately.
| MRP | ₹1,79,999 |
|---|---|
| Hobitech price | ₹1,61,990 |
| You save | ₹18,009 |
Price as listed on hobitech.in at the time of publishing; DJI India pricing is occasionally adjusted, so confirm the current price on the Air 3S product page before ordering.
What's in the Fly More Combo
The combo is built around one core idea: land ready to shoot for a full day without needing a second trip to buy accessories.
Three batteries alone are worth paying attention to — at 45 minutes per battery, that's over two hours of total flight time before you need to recharge, plus the two-way charging hub lets you top up all three without juggling cables.

Why the dual-camera system matters
This is the real reason to pick the Air 3S over a Mini-series drone. It carries two full primary cameras, not a wide lens with a digital crop: a 50 MP, 1-inch sensor wide-angle (24mm equivalent) and a separate 48 MP, 1/1.3-inch tele lens (70mm equivalent). Both shoot native 4K/60fps HDR, so switching to the tele camera for a tighter composition doesn't cost you image quality the way a digital zoom would.
On top of that, the Air 3S was DJI's first consumer drone with forward-facing LiDAR, which keeps omnidirectional obstacle sensing working in near-dark conditions (down to roughly 1 lux) — useful if you fly at dusk or in low-light interiors for real estate work. 4K/120fps slow-motion and 10-bit D-Log M / HLG colour profiles round it out for anyone doing colour grading in post.
How Air 3S pricing compares to the rest of DJI's lineup
It helps to see where the Air 3S sits between the drones on either side of it — all prices below are Hobitech's current listed prices, not international MSRP.
| Drone | MRP Hobitech Price |
|---|---|
| DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo | ₹1,49,999 ₹1,25,990 |
| DJI Air 3S Fly More Combo (DJI RC 2) | ₹1,79,999 ₹1,61,990 |
| DJI Mavic 4 Pro Fly More Combo (DJI RC 2) | ₹3,09,999 ₹2,79,990 |
| DJI Mavic 4 Pro 512GB Creator Combo (DJI RC Pro 2) | ₹4,89,990 ₹3,79,990 |
The jump from Mini 5 Pro to Air 3S (about ₹36,000) buys you the second tele camera, LiDAR-based night sensing, and roughly 3x the wind resistance rating. The jump from Air 3S to Mavic 4 Pro (about ₹1,18,000) is a much bigger leap in sensor size and gimbal-mounted triple-camera hardware aimed at professional shoots — for most photography and travel use cases, that gap is harder to justify than the first one.
Who should buy the DJI Air 3S
Based on what the hardware actually does well:
If your priority is pure portability and you don't need the tele lens, the Mini 5 Pro is the better buy at a lower price. If you're shooting paid commercial work where camera quality is non-negotiable, the Mavic 4 Pro is worth the extra spend.
Frequently asked questions
Is the DJI Air 3S good for beginners?
It's flyable for a first-time pilot thanks to omnidirectional sensing and GPS-assisted hover, but at ≈595g it needs DGCA registration in India, unlike the sub-250g Mini series. If this is your first drone and you mainly want simplicity, start with the Mini 5 Pro instead.
What's the difference between DJI RC 2 and DJI RC-N3?
The Air 3S Fly More Combo ships with the DJI RC 2 — a screen-equipped controller with its own built-in display, so you don't need to mount a phone to fly or frame shots.
Does Hobitech offer EMI on the Air 3S?
Yes, EMI options are available at checkout on the Air 3S product page. Reach out on WhatsApp if you'd like the EMI breakdown before you order.
Does the Air 3S come with warranty and support in India?
Hobitech is a DJI specialist retailer based in Bengaluru with an in-house repair lab, so you get genuine DJI warranty coverage plus local support if the drone ever needs servicing.
