Dji Air 2S Fly More Combo Drone with Smart Controller

Aside from the additional obstacle avoidance sensors around its body, DJI has kept the design of Air 2S very similar to the Mavic Air 2 and it’s every bit as easy to fly. However, the upgrade in the sensor from a 1/2-inch type device to a 1-inch type elevates the quality of the video and stills that...

  1-inch type sensor, 5.4K video capability, Compact size and lightweight

  Not categorised under the drone flight regulations, The propellers occasionally appear in footage

Despite it not even being a year old, DJI is already upgrading its mid-tier Mavic Air 2 drone . The new $999 Mavic Air 2S (yes, $200 more than the prior model) comes with some notable new features and upgrades, including a much larger image sensor.

  Bigger one-inch camera sensor, Finally usable digital zoom, Great for beginners and experts

• -

  There’s a significant crop in 4K 60fps, No D-Log or HDR when zoomed in, APAS still needs improvement, It’s more expensive now

“When quality and performance are priority, you won't find anything better than the DJI Air 2S.”

Overall, the DJI Air 2S was great to fly and we really were happy with its image. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Air 2S to anyone looking for a compact drone that shoots professional-quality video.

In many ways, the DJI Air 2S is similar to the DJI Mavic Air 2 before it. Of course, given they share the same name, that’s to be expected. But there are some notable bumps up in resolution as well as automated modes.

All eyes have been on DJI for a much-awaited Mavic 3 drone for a while, so it took quite a lot of people by surprise when the Chinese drone maker instead launched its mid-range model, the DJI Air 2S, recently.

With a pro-sized camera and a compact frame, is the DJI Air 2S a Mavic 2 Pro? Is it an Air 2? Or is it somethin...

  Larger camera sensor; shoots in 10-bit D-Log; up to 8x digital zoom

  No side avoidance sensors

DJI has improved each generation of its Air drone significantly and the Air 2S makes a worthwhile upgrade on the Mavic Air 2. The Air 2S is both fun and rewarding to fly and while not matching a good DSLR or mirrorless camera, its results are beyond those of an action cam whether you’re shooting...

  Easy to fly, Stable signal, Steady flight

  Needs the Fly More Combo for longer flights

The previous Air 2 sought to bring high-end features into a smaller form factor - and the Air 2S ups the ante further. Its 1-inch sensor offers great stills photography, while video capabilities outshine some more expensive drones.

• +

  1-inch sensor offers super pictures, Advanced obstacle avoidance, Portable and easy to carry around, Great battery life, ND filters in the Fly More combo are a nice touch

  Rolling shutter effect is quite bad when moving quickly, 4K/60 crops heavily into frame, QuickShot shoots at Full HD, It's not exactly cheap

Excellent! I upgraded from the Mavic mini. This drone has tons of options. It handles much more smoothly than the mini. I would recommend this drone! Can't wait to take this to Hawaii later this year

• +

  Easy to operate, great video

  Price, but good stuff is never cheap

I was really impressed with how easy it was to get this in the air the first time. It is really stable in the air too so much more than other (less expensive) quads I have flown in the past. The features are abundant on this drone and I still have not tried them all. Great product.

Great for taking photos/videos from a new perspective. It has a ton of features and nearly endless possibilities for a creative mind!

Much better than less expensive counter parts. Very happy with the stability and 4K

  Stable cinemode

This is a rare case of a great product for a reasonable price. I recommend this drone.

Very cool and darn near idiot proof. Power and battery life are impressive

Great value especially if just starting with drones

Excellent product easy to use with some great simple tutorials I’m able to capture shots like a pro.

Drone is great, camera is amazing pretty much flies itself can’t be crashed nearly, definitely get the fly more combo trust me you’ll need the extra batteries

Beautiful little thing batteries life is a bit short.
