New Drone Sensors! Unlock insane tracking with LIDAR & stunning images with 1-inch sensors. See the future of aerial tech!
Drone Sensors: The Latest in Aerial Tech ✈️ – A Deep Dive into LIDAR and 1-Inch Sensors
Hey fellow drone enthusiasts! It’s your favorite drone magazine editor back at the controls, and today, we’re diving headfirst into the exciting world of drone sensors! We’ve all seen the tech evolve at warp speed, and these days, it’s not just about bigger cameras; it’s about smarter sensors. I’ve been glued to YouTube lately (purely for research, of course 😉) watching videos that unpack the real-world implications of these latest innovations and I know you want to know more. So, get ready to explore cutting-edge stuff like LIDAR for precision tracking and those mouthwatering 1-inch CMOS sensors that are taking low-light performance to a whole new dimension. What do these mean for our flights and images? Let’s take a look together.
Key Takeaways from the Latest Sensor Tech
LIDAR is a Game Changer for Tracking: Forget the wobbly, unreliable follow-me modes of the past! The DJI Air 3S’s LIDAR system showcased in the DC Rainmaker’s tests has truly leveled up autonomous tracking. This allows the drone to accurately and consistently follow a moving subject, even when navigating complicated environments and tough situations. This feature is about more than just action shots, it demonstrates enhanced drone spatial awareness.
The 1-Inch CMOS Sensor Revolution: Several videos highlight how the 1-inch sensor, specifically in the DJI Air 3S and IZI Spectra drones, means a drastic improvement in low-light capabilities and image clarity. The bigger sensors just soak up more light, reducing noise and enabling crisper visuals and greater dynamic range. Forget blown-out highlights and muddy shadows, this technology is giving us professional level image quality in portable packages!
Dual Camera Systems for Versatility: It’s not just about a single stellar sensor anymore! The DJI Air 3S is demonstrating the power of dual camera setups – the 1 inch wide-angle sensor for those breathtaking landscape vistas alongside a tele camera with a smaller but still impressive 1/1.3-inch sensor for detailed zooms. This dual approach maximizes your drone’s photographic flexibility and captures different types of imagery in different situations without switching lenses or using a different drone entirely.
Obstacle Avoidance Gets Smarter: The videos on the Air 3S and the IZI Spectra highlight advancements in obstacle avoidance tech. From Omnidirectional systems for avoiding common hazards to ‘tri-detect’ sensors for front, rear, and downwards. These aren’t just talking points, these improvements allow for safer, smoother, and more confident flights.
More than Megapixels – Flight Features: The Air 3S videos, especially by FlytPath, emphasize that drone sensor advancements aren’t just about image quality. Advanced tracking, smarter modes like Hyperlapse, Mastershots and more are enabled or significantly improved by these new sensors. The hardware supports more robust algorithms and flight paths and offers more opportunities for better, more reliable autonomous control.
What’s Next for Drone Sensors?
These innovations aren’t happening in a vacuum. LIDAR tech, with it’s inherent ability to ‘see’ the world in 3D is getting smaller, lighter, and cheaper and this trend suggests a big leap forward for more than just object tracking. It’s highly likely we’ll see more drones with detailed 3D mapping capabilities soon, for more uses outside consumer photography. As these 1 inch CMOS sensors make their way from higher-end professional units into smaller models, we may be moving away from relying heavily on post-processing edits to correct bad lighting and towards capturing that great picture every time without having to manually correct for lighting issues. The trends I am seeing suggest future drones will not only be able to see more, but also be more autonomous while being increasingly compact. The competition between manufactures is a fantastic thing for us as users as it pushes technology and features to the market at an impressive pace.
It’s Time to Take to the Sky
We are witnessing a transformative moment for drone sensors, and these YouTube creators give us a first-person look at the impact that cutting edge technologies are having. These advancements are truly changing the way we capture aerial images and video and enabling entirely new flight dynamics. If this got your propellors spinning, get ready to explore each video by clicking through to the highlights just below and start thinking about how your own next drone might take advantage of all this amazing tech!

The drone we all knew was coming, right when the AIR 3 was released. We all wanted a 1″ sensor on the Air 3, and we finally get it on the Air 3S. Despite adding 1-inch sensor on the Air 3, we still do not have an adjustable aperture like we have on the Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic 3 classic a Mavic 3 Pro. When it comes to safety, I do like the additional LIDAR sensor added to the front of the Air 3S. That added sensor will help in low light situations where vision cameras may struggle.
Were you waiting to upgrade your drone from the Mini 3, Mini 4 Pro or Air 3? Is this drone a good compromise to the more expensive DJI Mavic 3 Pro? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section.

DJI just released the DJI AIR 3S, its latest camera drone in the AIR series. The AIR 3S is a big upgrade from the AIR 3 and features a dual camera system, upgraded obstacle avoidance capabilities, better tracking, and amazing low light capabilities. The AIR 3S not only takes impressive images and video in low light, but also has improved safety features to help the drone navigate better in low light situations. It also has smarter tracking capabilities along with very reliable obstacle avoidance.
We tested the AIR 3S in all these situations and found it to be the all around most capable camera drone that we have ever flown!
If you are looking for one camera drone that has the best features of smaller (Mini series) and larger (Mavic series) drones, in a single package, then the AIR 3S may be the perfect drone for you.
