In most countries and regions, 249 g is the threshold for drone regulatory categories. Staying below it means simpler registration and fewer flight restrictions (subject to local rules) — while still fitting in a 1-inch sensor rarely seen in this class.

The Air 3S uses a 1-inch primary camera for detailed landscapes, while the 70 mm medium tele adds framing flexibility and compressed portrait looks. Both cameras share the same video specs — 4K/60fps HDR.

The gimbal supports 70° upward shots and unlimited 360° rotation, unlocking vertical angles and orbital camera moves that conventional gimbals can't achieve.

Start with spare batteries and a charging hub to extend airtime, then add ND filters for smoother motion in bright light. Keep at least one pair of spare propellers in your bag for quick replacements.

It depends on your country or region and your drone's weight class. Sub-249 g models are usually subject to the fewest requirements, but always check local regulations before your first flight.
