The Air Pro 3 is equipped with an anti-fog lens that captures an ultra-wide field of view up to 160 degrees. The field of view can also be adjusted to the desired angle depending on your needs.
Full HD recording
The camera comes with the option of recording at a resolution of 1080p at 30 frames per second or 720p at 60 frames per second.

The camera contains 60fps and 120 fps setting that allows one to record any kind of motion but in a smoother way.

How is the Battery Life?
In a word, it’s OK. Not great. While the 2 hours and 30 minutes of juice that the Air Pro 3 gets from its 1200mAh lithium polymer battery make it about the average for most action cams, the fact that you can’t remove the batteries from the Air Pro 3 is this camera’s weakest point by far.
Free cloud storage
It’s not a dealbreaker, but this is a feature unique to iOn’s line of cameras. To share video content online, one is given free 8GB cloud storage that can be used as backup storage and sharing of files online.
Ion Pro Air APP
The camera has an app that allows you to control the camera remotely and change settings. With the app installed in a phone one can access all the features of the cam through the phone. The App allows you to connect directly to social media networks and thus makes sharing of photos and videos very easy. The iON AIR pro App allows you to store files on the cloud. With the app you can check the battery level of the camera since it does not warn you when the battery is going down until it is at 29%.
Easily Mountable and Lightweight
Much more so than the GoPro.
The Air 3 Pro comes with a quick connect clip that is that has a lock system that makes it possible to be mounted on any kind of mount. The lower part of the camera has a standard screw hole for the tripod mount. This makes it very compatible with every kind of mount.
With a weight of only 142 grams, the iON AIR PRO 3 is the ultimate camera to carry around to all your adventures as it does not bring any inconveniences.
