What's not to love about the DJI Air 3? A consumer drone aimed at serious travel photographers, videographers and content creators, the Air 3 is equipped with dual cameras with a three-axis gimbal. Not only can this drone capture clear 48MP stills, its 3x zoom lets you capture many details.

But perhaps its biggest selling point is its 4K/60fps video capabilities, because who doesn't love a bit of 4K footage? That means you can get smooth, stable footage, and given its size and weight, the drone is more resistant to gusts of wind — so you can rest assured it won't get knocked about. Also, videographers, listen up! The Air 3 comes with 10-bit D-Log M and 10-bit HLG, which help provide increased flexibility when editing, a higher dynamic range, and overall, excellent results.

The Fly More combo, which is currently on sale at Amazon, includes the RC-N2 controller which sports two antennas to improve its range and performance. Also included in the Fly More combo are three spare batteries. The Air 3 can fly for up to 46 minutes on a single battery, and if you want more, make sure to pack your spares — you don't want to run out of juice while filming that all-important shot!

Even at its retail price of $1,349, the Air 3 is a very easy drone to recommend, especially if you want a reliable drone with omnidirectional obstacle avoidance, DJI’s impressive O4 HD video transmission system, and many other pro features. And for immersive flights, the Air 3 is compatible with DJI's FPV goggles. The 20% discount at Amazon right now is too good to pass up.
