Really nice find DA.    That's a great video with a wealth of brilliant tips.  Almost makes me wish I'd have upgraded my air 3 to the Air 3S.

I hadn't realised that the 8 second long exposure was f.aked though,  that was a surprise to me.

It's 4 2 second exposures that are blended in drone.

Thank you, definitely something i am going to try.

Well my new Air 3s is looking like a lame beast. I can't get any sort of exposure time longer than 2 seconds. I watched this video - headed out excited to replicate, and found a hard limit regardless of settings.
What am I missing?

Did you install an ND filter for it?

lol in the thumbnail why is there an nd filter on the air 3s camera if it's nighttime

That's to get long exposure times.

Had to say this thats a nice video , get going , Regards, from web designer in dubai https://digitlomad.com

Some of us ordered an Air 3S but had to cancel due to US Customs holding them. I’ll never order from DJI’s Store again! Billed my credit card before I ever even received the drone. Now I’m being charged interest daily on my credit card balance while DJI and DHL drag their feet on refunding my money. I’ve always had a good experience with DJI and their customer service until this experience. I even went to bat for them and called my Representatives and Senators to help prevent a ban. I realize the customs situation is out of their control but if they knew it was an ongoing issue why sell a drone to someone with the possibility of this situation occurring. Epic Fail!

Perhaps you should call your Representatives and Senators seen they are to blame for Customs going after DJI.

The Air3s sounds amazing for long exposure shots! The stability and features must really help in capturing stunning photos. Definitely considering this for my next shoot!
