Yep, the DJI Air 3 can do waypoint flying.

You can set up a pre-planned route, and the drone will follow it automatically. According to our research, this is great for getting complex shots and making sure your footage is consistent every time. If you're into professional or cinematic video, this would make things a lot easier.

Plus, it's got other cool modes like ActiveTrack 5.0, so you've got lots of creative options.

The DJI Air 3 drone weighs around 720 grams. According to the manufacturer's description, this includes the battery but not any extra accessories like propeller guards or the remote controller. It's a pretty lightweight option considering the high-performance features it packs.

Side note: If you’re curious about other features, it has a dual-camera setup with a wide-angle and a telephoto lens, capable of capturing impressive 48MP photos and smooth 4K videos. It’s got a max flight time of up to 46 minutes, though in real-world conditions, it’s more like 40 minutes.

Oh, and it also includes omnidirectional obstacle sensing tech, which is great for avoiding crashes, especially if you’re new to flying drones.

The DJI Fly App helps with navigation and shooting modes if you're looking to do more complex shots.

If you're thinking about getting extra batteries or a charging hub, there's a Fly More Combo available too.

Hey, if you're curious about whether the DJI Air 3 can shoot vertical video, here's the scoop.

The Air 3 is pretty awesome for aerial photography and videography with its dual-camera setup—wide-angle and telephoto lenses. You can get 48MP photos and 4K vids at up to 60 fps, which is pretty sweet. But, about vertical video: it doesn't have a specific mode for that. You'd need to crop your horizontal footage in post-editing to get it vertical for Instagram or TikTok. Not ideal, but it works!

On the upside, this drone has some great features. The manufacturer says it can stay in the air for up to 46 minutes on one charge, which is perfect for longer sessions. Plus, the Fly More Combo pack includes a charging hub, so you can charge multiple batteries at once.

And for flying, it has omnidirectional obstacle sensing, which makes it safer to fly by detecting obstacles all around. Handy if you're navigating tricky areas or just getting started.

The DJI Fly app and the remote controller are both really user-friendly, so it's easy to get the hang of.

So, while the DJI Air 3 doesn't have dedicated vertical video shooting, it still has a ton to offer if you're into high-quality aerial footage.
