DJI have today sent around an event teaser with the title "Chase The View" for an event at 9AM Eastern time on 15th October – coudl this be the long awaited DJI Air 3S drone everyone is talking about?
We can't offer any evidence, as such, but a look at the image is slightly less ambiguous than some of DJI's previous teasers. Here's my analysis as the resident drone expert and DJI watcher:
We don't know there will be an Air 3S, but there have been rumors – which we have reported diligently on drone rumors and, of course, in DJI rumors!
If there was, it'd likely have two cameras, just as before, leaving space for a tri-camera system at the top of the tree (the Mavic 3 Pro – and any future replacement) and, let's face it – the framing of two 'windows' at the top of this image look A LOT like the moulding around two cameras on a DJI drone, especially the DJI Air 3.
What's really interesting is that the other part of the image looks a lot like an imaging chip. Or at least a chip with an image drawn on it, which suggests someone wants to talk about imagining chips? The Air 3 has dual 1/1.3-inch CMOS – both technically smaller than the 1-inch sensor in its predecessor.
I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions there from the artwork!
Oh, and one more thing – the DJI Air 3 is on 20% discount at the DJI store.
Now I can't say if DJI are even releasing a new drone from a teaser image – perhaps they want to talk about microchips and window frames?! It's not impossible after bike motors! But these deals do seem worth checking out given the DJI Air 3 is already one of the best drones and prices don't usually come down with new models!
Amazon aren't the only one with deals, there are more below.
