DJI Air 2S vs. DJI Mavic Air 2 - A True Upgrade

Well done on the film Does anyone know when the release date of the mavic air 3s skimmer will be and an estimate of how much it will cost

Locally the air 2 is $699 CAD and the Air2s is $1795 CAD, I am leaning at the air 2

Thanks Billie

Sorry .. Billy ... :-)

Is the air 2s compatible with the goggles v2?

I am buying right now and the Mav 2 is now $500 less than the Air 2 S. Would you still buy the Air 2 S fly more for $1299 over the Mav 2 flymore at $789?

Thanks for the helpful and informative video. Keep up the great work.

What modes were the images captured in?

Philly!

The minimum operational temperature of the 2s is 41 degrees F....the 2....14 degrees F. This is huge. I'm on my 2nd 2s and this one will be going back due to RTH not working after signal loss and again at the home point (hovers in place). Motor overheat error, check propellers and fly with caution combination warning happens with each battery that came with the Fly More kit. Changing the props. did not resolve this...firmware up to date. The 2 has not had these issues.

Alright, so I have a question, I have a mavic mini, and I would like to upgrade but I have a small budget, right now mavic air 2 is on sale and you can get the fly more combo for $789 and the air 2s for $1299. Is the 2s significantly better than air 2? Also mini 3 is coming out soon and it has sensors and a pretty good camera so I am really lost

What about 4K 60 crop?

If you can afford 800 $ drone you CAN AFFORD 1000$ Drone god damn it

Man. Thanks. You talk so plainly about all this an spoke to exactly what I was debating about. Definitely helped in making my decision

1 inch.

Amazing review!! Thank you, just purchased the Air 2S Fly More Combo thanks to your video in particular!

so if it's my first professional drone, in terms of value for money and long run satisfaction, should I spend 790$ on the ma2 combo or 1300$ for the ma2S combo? there is a big price difference but not so much in other fields

you didnt even metion the Air 2s has 10bit color

Philly looks so nice from above

Thumbs up well done, full view 👍

Looking to upgrade from the first mini to either the Air 2 or 2S. Currently at Best Buy the fly more bundle for the 2 is $790 and $1300 for the 2S… other than a few extra gimmicks is it worth the price difference to go with the 2S? Thanks

Your video's are the best. Seriously

All mouth and no content.

Very useful and well structured video!

I've been using the Air 2 and Air 2S. Regarding the Air 2S, you can't shut off the downward sensors to land in hand, and I don't want to put tape over the sensors. Switching to sport mode doesn't fix the problem. Now we have to mess with focus on the Air 2S. The focus should be fixed like Air 2, and most other drones. Air 2S is much noisier than Air 2--loud even at 1000 feet. Everyone knows there's a drone in the air but that wasn't the case with Air 2. Finally, the Air 2 is cheaper and flies longer. So it's not as simple as many of these videos suggest.

Lol Philly skyline!! 🤘🏾😎

I just ordered the Air2s fly more ..I chose it over the autel evo lite plus and mavic 3 because I felt the autel has to many bugs right now and the mavic 3 is just to expensive especially for the fly more package..I feel if the air2s had a 40 minute battery it would be the top drone on the market…anyway I can’t wait for it to show up

Coming from the air 1 and now owning the air2, personally i did not think the refresh was worth it for me as i'm still just having a lot of fun with the air 2. Was tempted for the mini 3 pro but seeing how half the people are having range issues i will skip that little guy and wait for the air 3 or mini 4 pro. Or mavic 4 pro lol. Basically stick with what you got quit playing your not a real photographer blah blah blah so just go out there and just enjoy with what ya got. Learn to fly, learn to take great shots or video clips, learn to edit them and when the time comes after honing your skill then get something a bit higher quality.

Can use the batterys of the 2 on the 2s ????

Is there a mount for my cell phone to watch the live video? I am looking at the fly more pack.

Can the Air 2S be powered with the more “powerful” Air2 battery ? (3850 vs 3500 mah)

OCNJ

I have to say, as my first hyperlapse was made today, it processed SUPER fast! The pictures were awesome and the video turned out GREAT!

Great description , could you add a night filming comparison ?

Also take into consideration that a 1 inch sensor is better in low light conditions and therefor your video and images will have a lot less grain in them which to me is a game changer.

What i did is basically bought a dji air 2 fly more combo without the drone or the controller and then bought a dji air 2s drone and the controller for like 450 dollars from a random guy on ebay and i love it ever since i bought it one year ago

I originally purchased the Air 2 for my first drone because of the price break with the Air 2S. I was hooked! Purchased the Mini 3 Pro and the differences put me over the edge. Just purchased the Air 2S from a friend and could not have done any better. The Air 2s with it's features will be my go-to when I don't feel comfortable putting up the Mini 3. But I'll keep the Air 2 for times when my adult kids what to learn to fly! Thanks Billy! JoeT

I upgraded from a spark to an air 2 a little over a year and a half ago. It's been great. I won't be upgrading. Maybe in a few years I'll get a new one but I love my air 2

Is active track better in 2s ?

I upgraded from mavic air 2 to mavic air 2 S. Thanks 😊

I enjoyed the video, very informative. I'm about to purchase my very first drone, never even flown one. I think the extra $200 is a no Brainer. I want to make sure my first purchase will give my little reason to have to purchase something better for a couple of yrs at least. My main purpose is for scouting hunting areas, mostly plains, and tracking deer and coyote movement habits. Am I on the right track in my thinking? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

It was a nice comparison. Thanks

In Fall of 2022 is the Air 2 still worth the buy? I’m going to upgrade from my DJI Spark. They just dropped the price of the Air 2 to $550 which is significantly below the price of the Air 2s. What do you think? Or should I wait for the air 3 because the Air 2 is 2 years old now.

I noticed that you left out the mastershots feature that the Air 2S offers and the Air 2 does not. Was there a reason for that? I have both the Air 2 and Air 2S. I want to primarily use the Air 2 for Scenic shots and the Air 2S for Commercial use. As of right now though, I find myself using the Air 2S more and more these days than the Air 2. Now I am resigned to using the Air 2 as a back up option if something happens to the Air 2S and I have downtime of being without a drone. I don't have the financials resources right now to upgrade to the Mavic 3. If that becomes an option, I will definitely make plans on working with the Mavic 3 and Air 2S and upgrade my controller to the RC Pro to swap back and forth between both drones. I noticed that according to DJI's website that the Mavic Air 2 is not compatible with the new RC Pro controller and the Mavic Air 2S is.

Wow! Now I'm torn between the two. 😄

thanks for this video it was very informative, i am researching the difference between the Mavic air 2 and the 2S. i see only the Air 2S is available from DJI as the Mavic air has been discontinued. however i have seen both on Ebay listed for sale. what is your opinion of buying a drone off ebay.

I have both drones. Love them both, but i do like the extra's with the Mavic Air 2s.

This guy doesn’t talk like this in real life… right?

Air 2s batteries smaller?

I do not know if anyone asked or not yet, but how much less battery life did any of you experienced with the air 2s against the air 2? I recently purchased a second hand air 2 in very good condition, but I am interested in the air 2s as well. Because the weather we currently have in UK, I did not have a lot time I can use the air 2 a lot so far.
