Video Quality Comparison of DJI Air 2S vs. Mavic Air 2 vs. DJI Mini 2

This is the perfect video I was after. My son is getting a Mini 2 for Christmas. I got an Air 2 and the buyer agreed to buy it back for what I paid and upgrade to the Air 2S. 2 years later and still helpful.

Air 2 does 1080p 240 fps I think, while the 2s just does 120. That might be an important difference for action photography.

Big Tnanks for this video!

The air 2s looks to best in my opinion

It’s not an easy choice since the Air 2 is currently $500 cheaper than the Air 2s on Amazon.

Slightly off topic but I’ve recently upgraded to the Mini 2 from the Spark, in terms of usability, performance and overall enjoyment the Mini 2 is miles ahead of the Spark but I’m seeing very little (if any) improvements in the camera quality, am I missing something ? Can anyone elaborate please. Have a look at my videos for reference.

keep in mind many are watching you from our cell phones during commute etc. . verbalize results helps

The 2s is definitely the best of the three but dang! the mini 2 held up great.

I just ordered my air 2 and I can't wait to fly it. Nice review.

Did u use Nd filter? Did u edit the video? For all 3 drones?

Great comparison. I'm looking to get my first drone and the DJI mini 2 is high on my list.

As an international traveler who cannot have problems at the borders the weight, 249 grams, of the mini 2 has been a game changer. Thanks for this comparison video! I'm happy that the mini 2's video quality is very good, even compared to the other 2 drones.

Brother can you tell me which drone is best

Well I'm sold, just gotta find the money now. Hopeful someone will sell one cheap as they don't use it enough here in the UK

Mister Sean, thank you for your review. I just compared the same three on the B&H website and I was not decided about which one. Great job.

So much of your video comparisons' quality seemed to be based on lighting. Unless the Air 2s makes clouds bluer all of its videos were taken in a cooler lighting. That's why it looks cooler. Similarly with the mini it looks like it was done when there were less clouds making more sunlight come through. This doesn't feel like a good comparison video.

Thanks for the video, very informative. Waving from The Bahamas. :)

A2s looked the best to me, followed by the Mini and then the MA2 which surprised me. Love the added light the A2s 1" sensor gives. Makes a noticable difference imo.

No hdr support on air 2s

The props getting the shot ruins it

Air 2 S looks really good in your video. Great work putting the videos up side by side too. Done a few comparisons on my channel but didn’t actually think to put the vids side by side 🤦‍♂️. I’ve subbed 👍🏻

Nice comparison, thanks Sean. I guess it’s not overly surprising that they go in order of sensor size / price when comparing quality. Couple of points I noted: firstly, the Mini 2 is holding its own vs these 2. Granted it’s never going to be in the same league, but at the price point and for how versatile it is, it’s a great drone; secondly, I couldn’t help notice the props in one of the clips from the Air2s - is this a regular occurrence, as this is pretty poor and undoes the benefit of having that better quality image if it’s spoilt by props or you have to crop the image down to remove them. Thanks for sharing, Sean 👍🏼

Wow mini 2 the best 💪

My 1st drone is the Mini 2 and in this video, I believe it holds its own for sure! I do plan in the future looking into the 2s after I become a grand master pilot with my Mini 2! :)

Mavic air 2 is a dirt box dont buy it ...range is terrible

very nice👍
I bought it too, but AIR2S is a very good drone.

Must admit I thought the mini 2 was better, the green of the grass looked a lot more natural, and as for your pixel peep experiment, it's the foreground that people look at for detail not the very furthest background

There's the 1-inch sensor at work! Thanks for this comparison! There's no doubt the Air 2S outdid the other 2 drones here in terms of video quality

I'm lucky I have both the Mini 2 and the Air 2S, and although the Mini 2 is mighty in its own way, I find the Air2S' tracking feature is what marked it out as the better drone for me!

I hope you can also make a side by side comparison of night shots from these drones! ✌️

Are the intelligent batteries for the air 2 and the air 2s compatible?

I think mini 2 is better than air 2 in the photographs quality sometime.

Great job keep up the good work, I truly enjoyed it thank you very much

Short, sweet and succinct. Good job :)

dji mavic air 2s the camera can see the propeller

Air2s you can see the proppelers at vieuw

hi.. for a simple used, mini2 is good for me. not too expensive.. its easy.. user friendly and simple. 😀😀

With that much difference in price, I'll be happy to just stay with my Air 2.

very impressive and comprehensive comparison! 😊👍👍👍

Interesting video thx for sharing 👍

Great testing, this really shows the difference between the three camera's. I'm not really surprised the Air 2S is better, but how much better is very impressive. Nice production on this video.

Was the exposure set to the same values for all 3? It doesn't appear so. I think it would be easier to compare when all the values are the same. In addition, the lighting is really flat which is fine, but it would be nice to see a comparison across multiple lighting conditions. That way people can see exactly what they are gaining or losing from each sensor.

Give away sir😭

More props in shots. DJI MUST FIX!

Another excellent demonstration Sean, or should I be spelling it Shawn. In any case, I like how you showed the difference in resolution. I was able to fly the A2S over the Snake River Canyon yesterday, and was very impressed by the video quality. It's simply the best of any drone that I've ever owned.

Mini 2 better than air 2 😆

New sub! Great comparison!

Great video . Can't wait for A2s comparison to Mav2 . There's not a lot of those which is really surprising. That's what I think, most of us want to see . Thanks again

Beautiful,sleek and detailed enough video! 😀😀👍👍👍👍
