Mavic Air 2 vs Skydio 2: Which Drone is Right For You?

  • The Mavic Air 2 was released from DJI and so I took it out to the wilderness of Alaska to test it's limits. I also really wanted to test and see how the Mavic Air 2 compared to my Skydio 2 when it comes to tracking. Both drones are fantastic but also aimed at slightly different markets. The Skydio is the best drone on the market for filming yourself and not worrying about flying the drone while you do. The Mavic Air 2 is good at filming but requires much more hands on to keep it from hitting obstacles.

    Shortly after filming this DJI released an update so you can now use the quick shots (except asteroid) in 4K! Go into the quick shots mode then into the camera menu and you can change them there!!

    Jake, that intro! So cool! I was pretty much sold on the Air 2, but now you've given me something to really think about. Considering that I've never flown a drone, would the Skydio 2 be a good drone for a total beginner? I like what you said about the Skydio 2 being market for filming yourself and not worrying about flying the drone while you do, as we'll have the kids with us while we travel and shoot.

    • @JakeSloan
      @JakeSloan  4 роки тому

      Well the Skydio is def the easiest drone to film yourself with! However also consider the Skydio is going to run you about 1200-1300 total with quite a wait while they get their production line back up and running after the shut down. The Mavic Air 2 is still able to film you very well but is def not "set it and forget it" like the skydio is. BUT it will run you about 800 to 1000 for the drone or fly more package (which I highly recommend) and you'll get it in 2-3 weeks from now. Also if you plan to film in low light at all then the Mavic is the way to go

    • @BagsPackedFamily
      @BagsPackedFamily 4 роки тому +1

      @@JakeSloan Thanks for that, Jake. The Skydio website says, "Skydio 2 is not currently certified for use outside of the US and Canada."

    • @JakeSloan
      @JakeSloan  4 роки тому

    Great video! Attention grabbing into and lots of good information.
    Two questions: 1. Which of these two cameras is better (dynamic range, colors, pixel bunching, etc.)? 2. What advantages are there to producing in 24 fps for action shots (vs. 30 or 60)?

    • @JakeSloan
      @JakeSloan  4 роки тому +2

      They are extremely close on cameras. I'd say pretty much the same on dynamic range overall with the slight edge going to the Mavic Air in lower light. The Mavic Air 2 also offers a flat color profile to give a little more flexibility to grade in post. I always shoot in 24 unless I plan to manipulate the speed later like in the running through the water clip.

    Great real user experience information. I was on a new decision path if I should cancel my Skydio 2 (Batch # 3 order) and get the new DJI MA2 but I do not see what advantage the MA2 has over my other DJI drones except for a smaller transport package. Your video has convinced me to keep the Skydio 2 order as it is a drone that can perform missions the DJI drones still have yet to perfect. That would be flying autonomous missions of active subjects while operation in a dense obstacle environment like a trail in the woods. An "Action Camera Drone" is how I would classify the Skydio2 . Nice job explaining , thanks.

      RULE 12:
      The minimum number of [DRONES] one should own is three. The correct number is n+1, where n is the number of [DRONES] currently owned. This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of [DRONES] owned that would result in separation from your partner.

    Planning on doing some shots for real estate and action shots as well as just exploring my area. I saw the new update for the Skydio 2 includes roof scanning and increased range? Would you recommend the Skydio 2 as being a rather versatile drone like the MA2 or does it just fill that active track niche nicely. Beginner here. Thanks!

    • @JakeSloan
      @JakeSloan  4 роки тому

      The Skydio will work for that but it still doesnt have the range of the Mavic Air 2. I've used mine for filming a couple of commercial Gigs and it has worked great with the remote but it's all fairly close range

    Hi Jake, Big time sailor and was wondering how easy would it be to bring the Skydio back to a moving sailboat? Great video also!

    • @JakeSloan
      @JakeSloan  3 роки тому +2

      I think it would be quite difficult. The down side of the skydio is hand catching while moving is very difficult. I would look more to getting something like a phantom 4 pro 2.0 for that. Since it has legs it makes it MUCH easier to grab while you are in motion. Cheers!

    The new firmware update already fixed the Quick Shots 1080p limitation. Very nice to see.
    I'm also much happier with the new controller, although I wish it had a better feel in the hand. Don't mind the size at all.

      The skydio will do that but Skydio also recognizes a vehicle as something that it should follow the same way it recognizes people.

    Amazing Video there, Jake! I just got my Skydio 2 - the plan is to have it follow me when I fly Paramotor. First impressions will be recorded in 2 days. The only real downside for me is that shorter Battery Life. I wish it had at least 30 min... Those 10 minutes more would really make a big difference. And I wonder why there is such a big difference in flying-time between the two.
    For those interested. I tested the Mavic 2 Pro with flying after me... Forget it. That thing loses me as soon as I lift up because contrast and background changes and it just hovers in the air not knowing where I am. The Beacon on the Skydio 2 will certainly do that much easier. But I can't fly as long due to the Battery ;-)
    And another thing... The Mavic 2 Pro I had could not do 4K in 60 Fps... Has this been fixed with a Firmware Update? Or is it only the new Air 2 that can do 4K60? Cause that was also a big selling point for me in regards to the Skydio 2... The smooth 60 Fps.
    One thing I wonder - and maybe you can help me with that - is the HDR on theSkydio 2. Just tested it today in bright conditions. HDR does seem to make things less sharp outside of the center of the screen. And it also over-saturates sometimes green fields etc. Also I have the ND Filter Pack but I really don't know which one I favor. Got any advise there maybe?
    Greetings,
    Really loved that video of yours!

    • @JakeSloan
      @JakeSloan  3 роки тому

      overall I find I prefer non HDR footage, The Mavic 2 pro will likely not have 60fps footage due to hardware limitations, hopefully in the mavic 3... Cheers and thanks for watching!!

    Hi Jake great video, I am looking for something like Skydio 2, but under 250 grams. Do you know what would be my best choice in a drone that could follow me while I hike to places just like this drone with obstacle avoidance as such?

    • @JakeSloan
      @JakeSloan  3 роки тому +1

      There is nothing under 250 that will do anything like the skydio. The only drone right now under 250 is the Mini 1 and mini 2 but neither have obstacle avoidance and in some cases will not track you

    • @mynatureadventures7868
      @mynatureadventures7868 3 роки тому

      @@JakeSloanThank you kindly. Wish I could've found one. Reason I wanted something under 250grams is because you have to obtain an aviation certificate in my area for anything above 250, which is not difficult at all, but all types of law and regulations apply, which I don't want to deal with. Plus a nice and compact drone is easier to carry around.

I imagine I'll be filming myself sometimes, but I'm looking to start a side business that I can enjoy when I retire in a few years. Which would you recommend or would you suggest I look into a different one entirely? Thanks in advance for your perspective.

    • @JakeSloan
      @JakeSloan  4 роки тому +1

      I would get the DJI Mavic Air 2 then, you could use it for business early and its a great drone to learn with. if you just want a drone to learn to fly and practice with (while also being able to film yourself) then I'd recommend the Mavic Mini and when you are ready to start doing things for business you can see what's on the market then. Drones are evolving fast! Cheers

    Great video and comparison between these two drones. Your video has made it harder for me to choose between these two and the DJI mini. As a beginner in the drone world, which would you recommend for me to get? I like to travel to international places and go hiking in mountains areas, where sometimes the wind can be an issue for the mini I believe. 🤔

    • @JakeSloan
      @JakeSloan  4 роки тому +2

      I would recommend the Mavic Air 2 for that. I am releasing my full review of the Mavic Air 2 early next week and I really thing it is the best drone for first time drone buyers. I love the skydio and it is fantastic but you will be waiting months (at least) to get one currently. Hopefully that will change in the future, but until then I would recommend the Mavic Air 2. Cheers!!

    • @phil8253
      @phil8253 4 роки тому +1

      Jake Sloan thanks for your input. Truthfully I would love to get a Skydio 2, but it’s seems to be double to price and there’s no telling when I would receive it now after the lockdown. Out of curiosity, do you think the FAA new rules will force people who have the DJI mini to register in the future?

    • @JakeSloan
      @JakeSloan  4 роки тому

      I think that would be a few years away from happening if it happens at all. And to be clear the Mavic Mini and the Mavic Air 2 are very different drones. The Mini is under the required weight to have to register where the Mavic Air 2 is over. The Mavic Air 2 will handle much more wind etc than the mini will

  • @Coldgecko

    Fantastic Review! I ride a motorcycle around the world -- Generally to amazing places visually -- I shoot photography. I have not used a drone although I've owned them. Main reason, alone, it takes too much time. If I had a drone that could follow me -- even at slow speeds along my route -- that could be my game changer. Do you think this is that drone? I do plan on upgrading my Mavic Mini to a Mini 2 though for size. I only wish this unit folded to a smaller form factor... Like you, each bit of space and weight counts. Is the Skydio 2 my savior for follow me on motorcycle?

    • @JakeSloan
      @JakeSloan  3 роки тому

      The skydio is the drone that is purpose built for that however more difficult to get hold of. The Mavic mini and mini 2 do not have tracking like that. The Air 2 would be the next best choice for what you want to do filming and tracking wise. Cheers!
